Yup - you see a lot of that. People taking up two parking spaces just
so their car won't get scratched. That's why i always carry a caltrop
on me, to stick under one of their wheels. Take some change out of my
pocket and "accidentally" drop a quarter and place the caltrop while
picking up the q. HAHAHAHA

Thats why I said it *looked* like he was at the far edge,
then asked if that was the case. I think if someone is going
to park like an idiot, but they know they are an idiot, so
they choose to park at the outer ring of parking spots,
that is not so bad. The pictured parking job would
be more offensive, the closer to the front door it is.

The second picture you posted lacks any possible
logical rationalization, however.

Considering how many people slam their car doors into my car,taking 2
spaces (only if way,way out) seems reasonable.
My car is not someone else's doorstop.

Some vehicles contact my car well above the door bumpers.I've got some
really nasty dents from them. That's property damage,and solely due to
their negligence.
