You see it at shopping malls. A woman will drive around for 30 minutes trying to find a parking spot 50 feet closer, and then go inside and walk 10 miles while shopping.
some church goers in my neighborhood were all upset about getting parking tickets for parking in front of a hydrant and a no standing zone right across the street from the church. 2 blocks away have plenty of free street parking

I suppose you could quote "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's ..." to them. Of course, if they don't have a sense of humor ... Well, you know.
I remember tennis players using the handicapped spots at a local court while playing tennis. These tennis players did not appear to have any disabilities, visible or invisible. You never know, though, I guess.
My health club is the same way. I think it's funny that people going to work out and do 5 miles on a treadmill will try and squeeze into a parking spot next to the door rather than walk an extra 2 minutes.
As long as I don't have to carry stuff, I will park out of eyeshot and work my way back. I walk 5-10 miles a day at my work, because I work inventory control in a factory and have a lot of ground to cover plus a lot of people to connect with on a daily basis. Another 100 feet is inconsequential.
..... is a mostly empty train station parking lot that is free on weekends.....
While I agree with what you are saying, I don't blame people for not wanting to park in a train station. They are notorious for car break-ins. Thieves go there because they know most people will be gone for a while, and can usually see the trains coming in (signaling "get out").
It's like those people who have their blinker on for 10 minutes waiting for a spot near the store entrance to open up. They don't realize (or care) that there's a whole empty row not 5 spaces behind them.

This train lot is actually pretty safe. There are usually police in palin vew, albeit across the tracks, which itself is across a short walkway. Not much crime occurs under the eye of a cop.
