And then this happened...
8:30AM Manhatten Bagel, Richboro PA (Phila suburbs)
Empty lot but I still pulled to the back end, and came out to this... so close I had to go in from the passenger side! Feel free to post any thoughts including all adjectives that come to mind... I’ll start: jerkoff, *******, ignorant, thoughtless, stupid ****, mother f*cker, dick....
inconsiderate, douchbag, and lastly, suicide by Ellis, all come to mind!

Was the inconsiderate parker also in the Bagel shop? I would have waited to see who came out so that I could thank them personally for their considerate act.

I would have also grabbed the end stall a few slots down with what looks like grass on one side. OP may have been hugging the driver's side line, but not by much. Still no need for any type of "lesson" from the other driver/parker.

Wouldn't it be funny if we found out that after all these years, that the Corvette drivers were the ones actually parked next to the other cars in the lot only to snap the picture and create these parking posts?!

The OP pulled into a completely empty parking lot and pulled to one of the furthest rear spaces does it really matter if he wasn’t centered in the space ?

If I am forced to go to the passenger side to get in, the other guy is much too close, so he gets a special reward. I let down his tires.

So we must assume that this person decided to crawl out their passenger side as well since he pulled in forward. Seems pretty damn crazy to me and if true, I would have absolutely waited in that lot for them to come back. Sorry I'm not climbing through the passenger side of my car to get into it!

I think you covered all the thoughts that went through my head as well. No reason at all in an empty lot for this jerk off to park next to you. Fortunately he did not damage your door when he exited.

What an ***! Too bad you didn't have a can of pepper mace. You could've sprayed the driver's door handle.

That happened to me once when an ambulance crew was getting lunch. It took up six spaces, two of which my car was already occupying.

I tracked them down and made them move it. The driver had the audacity to say I should have just crawled from the passenger seat. I'm in my 60s, for crying out loud.

Then you're being just as much of a chicken **** as they are.

A few years ago I was backing into a spot right next to the entrance of a store. Parking lot was mostly empty, but some jackass in a Honda Civic came zipping into the parking lot and drive behind me and parked in the very spot I was backing into. Literally one of the biggest dick moves I've seen in my life.

I went and parked elsewhere then went over and stood by his car until he came out of the store and called him out on it. He didn't really seem to care but at the same time he looked a little shocked and unsure when he came out and saw me standing there.

This same exact thing happened to a good friend and not only did he remove 1 valve core, he removed 2 because most everyone carries a spare.

I don't think he's over the line. Look at the pic again, those are wide spaces (which they all should be). I've had this happen too. Makes no sense why someone with a run of the mill car would park so far away. Unless its for exercise, but still no reason to park right next to you. People are nuts!!
