If there's a line of cars going into an area of open spaces, I do the skipping one or a few thing, so I'm not parked right next to someone opening their doors at the same time I am. It simply makes sense.

Also, at events with parking traffic directors, more often than not I find these people themselves to be the cause of the problems, because they'll often stand exactly where I'm trying to drive in order for me to get into the space they're frantically motioning to.

Finally, a lot of people don't realize that the proper way to enter a parking space, is to position your vehicle on the opposite side of the lane, before turning into the space. This means if you're cruising down a parking isle and you want to take a space on the right, you need to get ALL the way to the left before turning into the space. Then you can get it perfect in one shot.

In any circumstance, some vehicles like larger pickups and Suburbans are a pain to park in any space.
