The Wal-Mart Parking Lot

Am I the only one who does this?

I can't tell you how many times I got out of Wal-Mart, my NOT-so-favorite place by the way since it is always ridiculously crowded, and can't seem to find my car.  Yes, I know there's supposed to be markers telling you which aisle you're in, and I know I should be looking for exact rows when I get out of my car and associate them with something familiar but, alas, I just seem to forget this since I always seem so eager to get my errands done.

Anyway, I often find myself blindly walking around with my shopping cart, pressing the horn button on my keychain remote as to try and locate it by ear.  And, of course, my keychain only throws out a signal so far so until I'm relatively close to it there's no conceivable way I'm going to get the horn of my car to honk.  What's really sucky is when I hear the horn honk and find that I parked in the next aisle, and the ONLY way to get to it is to move the shopping cart filled with groceries over these concrete median/dividers.  I'm sure I look like a spectacular idiot doing that, but hey, as if I didn't look ridiculous enough walking around obviously lost pressing a keychain and looking left to right to signal everyone that I'm a goofball who can't even remember where he parked his car.

Sigh.

Has anyone else done this?
