Can somebody tell me why?

I went into Salisbury last night for a meal,and to watch Rush at the flicks,parking my car in the large central car park. There were hundreds of spaces and left the car all by itself , I came back later to still see the car park nearly empty but cars parked around mine! (No it was not dogging)

It always seems to happen, I like to park in space so some prat does not bang their door against mine and damage it.

I assume it is something to do with human psychology

Carp drivers who can't park use your car to help them line up

Carp drivers who can't park use your car to help them line up

that is an interesting theory and could be the case.

When they are parked, the cars are left spaced around the car park, but once the humans are all safely inside they move together and huddle for mutual security like penguins in Antarctica.
