Best of all, as I'm snapping the pic, a woman comes out and says proudly "Oh you're taking a picture. You like my car?" I reply "Actually, I was admiring your parking job".
Awesome. She probably didn't get it.

I personally don't see the harm in creative parking if the parking lot is empty. Sorta like driving opposite the painted directional arrows in a parking lot, again empty.

That's bizarre.
Why not just tow it?

European streets tend to be a lot smaller/tighter, especially in the older parts of town. Not nearly as much room to maneuver a rollback in. Easier to pick and place.

So I've been told anyway, no firsthand knowledge.

From this morning at Walmart.

I give this guy a pass because he's parked way away from everyone else, he really does have a cool truck, and he wasn't there very long (because I wasn't and he was gone when I came out).

I needed to load some concrete at Home Depot today, and there was a trio of douchenozzle dickheads who felt the need to park right in front, because parking in the lot proper is for suckers. They weren't loading anything, they were just inconsiderate and lazy.

^^^ I am very thankful to have neighbors on both sides of me that would allow the same thing.
Especially if the young couple were 'in a bad way'
What could it have possibly cost for the juice? Not much.
