I hate when people do that, I usually see/saw many Honda/Acura people doing that but not recently.

For shame!

No dents, but it practically guarantees you a key job.

I wouldnt park at an angle like that but if it is an end space I would slide as far to the side closest to the end as I possibly can.

Unless that is an end spot I say no go. I can see the left rear tire is already on the parking lines so part of the car surely has to be in the other stall taking up two stalls. I don't endorse property damage at all, but if this car got keyed I'd have no sympathy since the owner really is just playing with fire here. This may prevent some parking it dings, but it just pisses people off more.

And did you 'explain' to him why his cars' position was inappropriate? I know I would have if I actually had to wait around for the driver to come back.

The angle is a bit extreme.

Def not a good idea to park like that. as others have said, just makes people angrier at you. Looking at the pic, and knowing a lil about parking garages, looks to be an end spot. Check the line under the car. Is not squared off, nor doubled, like the ones on the right side of the car. Normally garages like that one will square off the spots until the come to the end, where they just run a straight line to mark the end, legal, spot.
