Default When parking too far crosses the line

OK so its been bugging me that every time me and my girlfriend go out and take my car. That she gets really really mad that we park so far.
I tell her it's cause i'd rather not get hit and mess up my paint job..
NOw the question
Any of you guys have the same prob?
Am i going too far.. ie crossing the line?

Tell her to get over it.. Honestly, I doubt you park far enough that it takes like 30 minutes or something to walk to her destination.

nahh she doesn't actually lol she insists on parking far cause she doesn't wanna hear my mouth if I see a dent or anything wrong on my car

there was one time I went to walmart 4 weeks after getting my car back from the body shop, and I parked really far away near noone and when I came back a shopping cart was laying on my driver door. it dented it..I was ____ed.

I laugh at people that park a mile away just to avoid door dings.. hell I park right next to them sometimes when they are parked way out away from everyone else Not trying to offend or anything.. but I think it is pretty ridiculous when someone goes that far out of their way.

I dont park next to people where the spot is cramped and I think a door ding is more probable.. but other than that I park with the rest of the world. While I like to keep my car nice, it is a car. May as well just leave it at home.. then it will never get damaged :D

Tell her that a modded FJ should be covered in mud and already scratched up from the trails... not parked out so it doesnt get touched!

Just drop her off before you park. Then you can have that much more peace.

i still park pretty far since i got my tC in June 2005. My GF doesnt mind, she's gotten used to it. now she does it in her new Camry. I dont park obviously at the end of the lot but at least 3-4 cars away from the last one. i have yet to get any door dings.

it used to ____ off my wife until she got her truck door dinged now she does the same thing, also helps against getting broken into cause the car is out there alone where everyone can see it

Its an effing parking lot.. hence people park next to you. I dont park too close, I dont mess with others cars (in other words, Im not an immature douche ;) ). And stop trying to sound clever and tough on the web by making up dumb crap you have done to peoples cars because they parked in the spot next to your precious $20,000 econobox

As long as it's a space within the parking lot, it's fair game. If it was too far, they wouldn't have painted a spot there to begin with!

Dude.. your full of it about what you do to others cars. Just trying to be an uptight little ethug. Pull the stick out and stop pretending to be a tough guy Plus... not being man enough to confront someone and instead physically taking it out on their car... well... that just makes you chicken ______ (even if you really did do what you claim).
