You have your shoes on a chair, and I bet there is some alt.shoe.fetish guy
posting a picture of you taking a picture of the lexus, saying, look at that
selfish dude getting the seat dirty.

Maybe, but people accept the fact that other people like to be
comfortable and put their feet up. Hell entire companies have been
founded and are successful selling foot rests. Yet nobody, except you
from the tone of your message, accepts people parking their vehicles
in the middle of traffic to have a conversation, especially when there
is a rather large parking lot 3 feet away.

There are companies founded on making valet parking available to people who
dont want to park themselves too.

Mmmm... which companies would those be?

And... while footrests do exist, their entire purpose is to rest the
feet. A person choosing to sit on a footrest would be responsible for
any foreign substances they contact. A person choosing a chair may not
be expected to suspect there may be some stray asphalt there. Would
you like your wife/girlfriend in a nice dress to sit there afterward?

Back in the olden days, using a chair to rest the feet in public would
be considered extremely rude, not only for the potential for transfer
of dirt but for merely displaying the bottom of one's shoes and
whatever may be collected there.

Well... I accept it. Looks to me like there's plenty of room for two
cars to pass (at appropiate parking lot velocities)... and the lot
looks pretty full... and they were only there a "few minutes".

Just perhaps... they were thoughtfully leaving a couple parking spaces
available since they were only going to be a "few minutes" and would
not be entering the building/s. Knowing Scott's proclivity for
exagerration I'm suspecting a "few minutes" could mean 45-60 seconds.

Perhaps they were MFFY's, perhaps not. Judging another's -motivation-
can often prove inaccurate since there's always another perspective.
