what one experiences when looking for a parking space in a crowded lot, seeing an empty spot in the distance, only to find it filled by a tiny car, ie: Mini cooper, VW Beetle, Yugo, or the like.
A couple driving around for five minutes in a parking lot...

Girlfriend (points finger): Oh! there's one!

Boyfriend: Score!

Girlfriend: Aww damnit, it looked like an open spot.

Boyfriend: I know, that was a bad case of Tiny Car Syndrome.
