I double park alot, at an angle taking up 2 spots...seriously, I do it alot.
But I make sure to do it in the back of the lot, far away from anyone else, just in case the lot fills up. Especially at walmart, that place is rediculous.
If the lot is small and I know its going to be full, I park normal, and pray. Having said that, I understand the driver's mentality, but 3 spots is not nessecary, and dont do anything of the sort in a lot you KNOW is going to be full 15 mins after you park there (i.e. restaurant). Its obnoxious and rude.

Now I have smaller vehicles and if no handicap place is available, I park far out, straight in a space, and take my chances. I try to find an island to park to the left of so I can leave open space on the passenger side. If the passenger door gets blocked in, I pull into the aisle and park to transfer my wife.

I've found that if I double park my car, someone will take the time out of their own day to hit my car because they know I care about it. I'll find a decent spot in a corner relatively close to the building, park as close to the curb as possible, and forget about it.

Big Mack, I have personally met Josh (ArmyofOne), spent some time with him, and I can assure you that he is anything BUT obnoxious and rude. What's more, he has served multiple tours of duty in Iraq, putting his life at stake, and may soon be off to Afghanistan. As far as I'm concened, he can park where he wants......I'd give up my own space for him.

But anywho, I would have blocked him in too if I knew the "homie" driving it wouldn't hit my car... Still I laughed at this picture. The other day someone parked so close to my car (drivers side) I could barely squeeze my *** in. I was more then happy to leave a note and a decent sized door ding when I left. They were 7" in my lane!!! I also took a picture of their LP number just in case

True (I won't disagree there), but, IMO, it is more of an inconsideration to deliberately block someone in on both ends than to park crossways in multiple-spaces. So, I'd say that, in addition to one a**hole in the middle, you also have two a**holes on either side of him. Even more so, in this case, considering that there are no actual marked spaces with white lines, and people are just parking where they want.
Agreed, and the folks who blocked him in are running a real risk that he has not had a few beers and then decides to push his way out.

We saw him, he was probably in his early 30's. He freaked out and was on his phone for a good 10 minutes pacing around the area. He actually called the restaurant to let them know he was parked in. Both vehicles are legally parked, and the parking lot was pretty much full when he pulled in.

That's what insurance is for. Those cars are legally parked. If he wants to push his way out than he better be ready to foot my insurance bill, or I'll see him in court.
