“...and then dealing with getting your car dinged...”
Ahhh, so you’re an anti-Dingest. Not accepting your fair share of dings is racist. But, on the other side, your longer walk across the parking lot offers income opportunities for the poor yutes that prey on those exposing themselves to the vicious parking lot environment. (Note...I also park “way out”!)
As long as you’re doing that kind of parking at the local self-denunciation center, I think it’s okay and won’t lower your social credit score.
