I just like to make other people think there’s something maybe a little exciting going on, like an enthusiast meetup or maybe a glitch in the matrix. It gives me a little chuckle.

You have my respect. I do the same, for the same reason. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Although, when I started, I drove a really popular car in a really popular color. There was often 3 of the exact model and color in any random parking lot.
So I realized - rather than having to remember which of the three was mine, and at worst walk to all three if I can’t remember…
If I always park next to one of the other two, then I only have to remember that mine is one of the pair parked together.
Edit: Oh, and one time, the statistically usual other two matching cars were improbably parked with exactly one empty space between them. Naturally I parked there - to create three in a row! It was glorious!
Now I drive a much less common car (thankfully here’s typically only one match per parking lot, and the trim difference is usually enough to tell which is mine), but I’ve maintained the habit, because I imagine I make people wonder if there’s an enthusiast convention for my boring still kind of common car model. Probably doesn’t work, but it makes me giggle.
