...people spend 10 minutes driving round a car park to park as close to the shop as possible when they could park in any number of free parking places further away from the shops and saved 10 minutes of their lives?

10 minutes is probably an exaggeration, mostly it's a few minutes.

Yeh I'd go along with that tbh.. If I can cut down my walking by 80% on any given parking attempt simply by driving round a car park for an extra 5 mins then I'll do it lol.
Also park in child and parent spaces, and sometimes disabled spaces too. Shoot me.

I don't park in parent and child even though I have one - but Dave is usually in there before me lol , I like to park out the way whereas I got space all around me and just have a casual stroll to the shop.Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 CDTi SRi - New Car

I usually try and park far away from where everyone else is parking.
Easier to get in / out of the space as no one else is nearby trying to get out at the same time and less likely someone will hit their doors off mines.
