Just sitting and letting it idle for any long length of time is bad for the oil and engine.
Damn, I didn't know that. When are you going to make a williaty FAQ with all of this stuff that I didn't know/even know to ask? Of course, I guess it wouldn't be a FAQ, more like a Should Be Frequently Asked Questions But Nobody Knows to Ask, or SBFAQBNKA.
