Tried parking my truck in a compact spot at the Lowe's lot yesterday

I figured it would save 2 minutes walking from the back row but I spent 8 minutes trying to squeeze out of the door without hitting the SUV next to me. Learned that compact spaces are a trap for full-size trucks no matter how good you think you are at parking. Has anyone else had a dumb parking gamble backfire on them?

Man, is 8 minutes really that big of a deal?

Start thinking about what you could do in those 8 minutes and you'll see it's a big chunk of time. That's 8 full minutes you're not getting back, and it adds up fast if you're doing that every single day. Look at it this way - over a work week that's almost 40 minutes, which is like an entire extra episode of something you could be watching. Plus in a lot of fields those 8 minutes matter for deadlines, like if you're trying to catch a flight or finish a project. I dunno, just seems like people who say it's no big deal probably never worked a job where every minute counted. It's not about being impatient, it's about being efficient with your day.
