I often say "It's nice to get a chance to walk for a bit," as if in complete ignorance of the fact that they are actually complaining. Often they stop and say "I guess so".

I work in the med school which is attached to the hospital. There is a very close parking garage for the doctors. Everyone else parks in the staff parking lot which is a bit of a hike. When they started construction, the staff parking lot was closed, and staff now have to park about 1/4 mile away. This didn't involve bike racks, so it doesn't affect me.

Staff complained bitterly about the distance. And I personally really hate the "doctors are gods" mentality. However, I've heard more than one person say they've lost weight since the parking changed.
