I don't necessarily follow the lines in parking lots, except when parking. I tend to blow through parking lot stop signs too, when the lines of visibility are clear.

You'd be surprised at how many here find the fire lane to be the ideal spot. I guess the extra 20' to the regular parking is too much exertion?

^That's nothing compared to these same people that meet while in their vehicles, in the parking lot or out on the street. They sit there right in the middle of traffic having that oh so important convention (probably as important as the cell phone calls I overhear when out and about).
