I was wondering what sort of fun I could have by taking my post lunch walk round the car park and occasionally going to my car looking as if I'm going to leave, sitting in it for a few minutes, then getting back out and locking it up once a good old queue of idiots has formed-and repeat.

Might try it tommorrow

I just sit in my car and make a few calls before I hit the road. Really pisses them off. But would they rather me park and call or drive and call and cause a wreck?

except that someone would really get a space ..... I rarely buy enough that I need to make trips to the car to load it up and return to the mall.

If MCM was compared to Perimeter Mall in Atlanta, than Perimeter will win by a long shot. If anything, The Woodlands Mall is similar to Perimeter because it seems more upscale than MCM.

This reminds me of something that drives me crazy. You pull into a parking lot with very limited parking space (close or far from the store or business, doesn't matter - just need any old space) and the driver that goes to their car has to sit and put on make-up, do their hair in the mirror, make a call or two on the cell phone, re-arrange the glove compartment, pay a few bills, consult their horoscope, get liposuction, etc., etc. Anything to drag it out and create a jam.

Is it a territorial thing? I have the space and you don't? If I was Mistress of the Universe, I would zap them.

Yep that's me!! But hey at least I'm not the one putting on mascara with one hand, talking on the phone with the other, and knee driving 75 mph hour the freeway. If you find it territorial to get yourself situated before driving, perhaps you are the one that thinks you are the next owner of the spot...wait your a real estate agent...never mind.

Yet you've been to neither.

MCM is more upscale.
