It's hard to tell from that picture what is really going on. It looks
like a large truck that wouldn't fit in the regular spaces. I usually
give them a pass, if they park in the distant parts of the lot. After
all, what else is he supposed to do, park in the traffic lane???

The ones that get my goat are the guys who have expensive or new large
vehicles, and park crosswise to the markings so that they take up two
or more spaces, just so that no one else can possibly park properly and
be close to their cars. Hey guys--if the car is that valuable, park in
the distant spaces. Better yet, leave it home and walk. If you park
close, you get ONE space per vehicle. THOSE guys are real fun to block.

In my impetuous youth I used to park so close to those assholes I had
to climb out the passenger side of my own vehicle just to ensure they
would have to climb in theirs.

In later years I just keyed them. realizing if they left before me, I
was left looking like the asshole (which I arguably was).

Now, I have more important things on my mind than how someone else
parks. I guess some people haven't yet reached that stage of life.

I'm mature enough not to key the car.
I'm older, but still alert enough to recognize and understand the world
around me.
Good and bad.
