At least it looks like he was out at the far edge of a parking lot.

Is that the case?

I can kind of justify that... that looks like a crew cab truck, the
driver may have thought that it would stick out too far if he parked
straight in.

I've taken up as many as 6 or 7 spaces before, but that's in a similar
truck with a car trailer on the back

Looks that way to me - assuming the lot isn't regularly over-crowded
he doesn't deserve any abuse.

I was pointing out that he had taken the row *farthest* from
whatever the destination was. So he was at least mitigating his
use of more than one spot by choosing spots in the least
desirable area of the lot.

No, I do not condone double parking.
