you know what i do when i see people do this, i park as close to the driver side door as possible and wait for them to come out to see if they hit the car im driving. Of course i never do this in MY car, but when driving a rental, or someone elses car that is a beater, i will attempt this!
we do the same thing with parking next to the drivers do as close as possible hahah but generally its a nicer car like a porchse that way they dont want to do something that might damange thier car. haha this one time at walmart we put my friend chevy celeb so close and he came out started yelling got pissed jumping up an down hah priceless then he reliezed that he could just easily get in on the passenger side and leave ha.
i just found this to be stupid.. really stupid lol
i walked inside my GF's work place for half an hour, and the car was sitting there the whole time.. and as you can see there was lots of parking space,
