Do You Drive Around Parking Lot Looking for Closest Space?

I have a baby and it is usually raining here so I try for the closest spot.I usually drive down one or two rows and give up.

It really depends on what the weather is like. If it is really cold and/or snowing I will look for a closer spot. If the weather is nice and clear, then it doesn't matter. It also depends on how much time I have.

It annoys me when people do that. What is worse is when they sit in the lane blocking everyone waiting for someone to pull out. I hate that so much. I might drive down a couple of lanes just to see but I almost always park at the end. I don't mind walking. If the kids are with me (which means most likes dh is too) my husband drops me and the baby off at the door if it is cold or raining or really hot and then parks and walks with the older kids. I almost never go out alone with the kids. People are so lazy anymore. I even park at the end when I am pregnant. I remember being 9 1/2 months pregnant and in so much pain and still walking from one end of the parking lot to the other while it was pouring down rain. I kind of got upset to see that one of the "pregnant mom" spots next to the handicapped spots was taken by a woman that was obviously not pregnant nor with a pregnant woman. Not that I would have parked there but it really made me mad.

I have a van with a wheelchair lift and I hate going shopping. We cannot ever find a spot to park to get the lift down. It is a hassle. We usually end up way down at the end of the parking lot and walk.
