Somehow it usually is an expensive car parked like that.
I might get the urge to key it but I am sure I would NOT.
Probably deserved. I don't care how much a car costs parking like that is obnoxious and rude.

Hence the nice sticker to plop on their car..... I'd put it on their windshield under the wipers.

Sad thing, in most states the lines in a parking lot have no legal basis - no law requiring you to park between the lines. Did not know that until I read about a case in MD.....

At the San Diego Zoo you can (I did) get a ticket for not parking precisely between the lines

Oh you can get a ticket, but there might not be an actual law requiring between the lines parking. You need to check if there is one.....breathing in CA might be illegal.

Well, the ticket certainly looked official. As far as breathing in CA: it is encouraged, but heavily taxed. Unless you're in one of the myriad protected classes.

I saw one parked long ways through three spaces once. Other cars parked around it so it could not get out.

What you fail to consider is that some fool with a 20 year old piece of crap will park beside your new car and see how hard they can hammer your door with theirs when they get out of their junker. The one bad behavior causes the other.

And if you ever consider keying a car, think about the possibility that the owner is a 6'8" goon about to return just as you get to keying.

Oh it will be an official ticket - happened in MD and when confronted in court by the fact that no actual law existed, the judge tossed it out.

I am waiting for CA to declare that complaining about CA to be illegal; it seems that's all I ever hear from anybody that lives there.....

...that some fool with a 20 year old piece of crap will park beside your new car and see how hard they can hammer your door with theirs when they get out of their junker. The one bad behavior causes the other. ...

Very true. And my experience has been, repeatedly, that even if I park in the farthest space, way out in nowhere, to avoid just such ill treatment, a hoopdee will seek my car out and park right next to it, close. What's up with that? Do they feel good-car is going to spread to a appearance-challenged vehicle? Not another car for acres. The far-out parking, also, gives me occasion to walk more. I also might have a better chance of spotting the mall-lot-lurkers coming at me (a lot of good that would do me. ... no baseball bat and wasp spray in hand.)

We used to do the same, park out a-ways and walk.
We now have had handicapped parking for some time and those places often are larger than regular ones.
I'm not bragging, I'm complaining.

Won't be made illegal. Likely will be taxed.
Otherwise: didn't usta be that way. Complaining a feature of the last couple of decades when the nutso Left aggregated power. More recently accompanied by serious outflow of those able to escape.
Still can't beat the weather, though

What the heck is this?
It does seem to be something most would not want to do.

Brush fires and mudslides and droughts.......can't beat it and don't need it.

Inevitably, someone somewhere will do the most amazingly stupid of things and then a sign will be posted in response....
