Changed my mind about parking tickets after a 45 minute ordeal at the grocery store

I used to think people who complained about bad parking were just being dramatic lol. But then last Saturday I spent 45 minutes circling a packed lot trying to find a spot at Kroger. Some lady in a giant SUV had parked diagonally across two spaces near the front. I literally watched three other cars give up and leave because of her. Now I totally get why people post these photos online. Has anyone else had a parking situation ruin their whole shopping trip like that?

Respectfully, I see it different. That 45 minute circle probably saved you from a parking ticket. Sure the SUV lady sucks. But those tickets can be brutal. Hundred bucks plus fees, sometimes more if you fight it. I'll take circling over that any day.

Drove past a smashed mailbox last week that some SUV took out, which @diana_black might say saved someone a repair bill too.
