The side of a the building has the diagonal parking for about 10 spots. This idiot in his 4 door generic econobox uses two spaces. I had to go to the back of the building and walk a lot further to accommodate this d'bag.

What else did you want him to do??
If it were me....instead of butting the nose of my truck up to Fred's tail end....with my azz hanging out....I would have parked in the exact fashion as Fred - but two (to two hundred) spaces over.

In fact I have found a lot of pleasure in parking as far away from the general public as mechanically possible.

Local pizza joint, very busy at lunch. I think he took at least five spaces, which are the closest to the restaurant entrance. Not the first time we have seen trucks pulling trailers do this in that parking lot. The worst part is that about 40 yards away there is a huge Walmart parking lot where he could have parked his rig, but no. But at least he put a cone out for where his trailer is sticking out in the area for vehicles to traverse.

And figuring his lack of concern, he is apt to drive out through the planter breaking sprinklers and plants. We should be so proud of his mother and father.

Looks like just rocks in front of him, but he definitely drove over the curb to leave

I actually watched him leave. He did back up and got enough room to pull forward without running over the rocks.

I park diagonal every time in the parking lot when I go to dialysis which is Mon-Wed-Fri because two times I've come out and some f**khead scraped down the side of my Cayenne Turbo so now every time I take up two spaces and sometimes I come out and someone still tried to park beside me. I also drive my beat up 97 F150 farm truck now because I wouldn't care if someone hit it.
Of course they haven't becasue they're waiting for me to start driving the Cayenne again
