Whats the big deal? Clearly the spots at the front of the store were not hard to find and the ones in the back are totally empty, as can be seen in the side view mirror. Was the store even open?
It's one thing if the parking lot is almost full, but this is as empty as it gets.

It shouldn't, though.
People park like that for a reason...often a good one. They are trying to take good care of their cars (which too many people DON'T do), so if I saw that, I would respect their efforts.......the LAST thing I would want to do is take out a key, scratch their car, and not only ruin their efforts but break the law as well by committing vandalism.

Take Action!!
Most of you feel he same way I do when it comes to clowns parking and taking up more than one spot, or just plan parking like Helen Keller.
I think everyone should take a look at the web site and take action.

So you're finally seing some RL's on the road (or at least in the parking lot)?
Anyhow, the guy probably didn't care much about keys...........the clearcoat paint on the RL is so good that it takes an awful lot to scratch it by getting something trough the clearcoat layer and damage it. Hulk Hogan would have to do it.
(yes, I'm kidding, but it is a first-rate paint job).

Not where making money is concerned (and that covers a LOT of places, of course).
Most buisness owners want as a many cars.....and customers.....as possible to be able to come and go.....even if it means shoehorning into undersized or narrow parking spaces. The more spaces they can paint off on any given lot, the more potential customers.....and money...they make.
Believe it or not, some of the best answers to narrow parking spaces....and wide vehicles.......are the sliding doors you see on most minivans.

It's been said before, but both these pics show cars with nobody around. What's the big deal taking up 2 spaces when there's nobody else there?
I don't double park because I don't want some idiot keying my car, but I usually park far away in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes I come out and find that somebody's STILL parked right beside me.

I sometimes park that way myself to avoid door dings....but NEVER in a crowded lot......as you say, that is a sure way to p**s people off. If I HAVE to park in a crowded lot for any reason, I'll look for the best-available protected space, park normally, and just take my chances.

Not 8 houses down after I back up out the driveway, some kids are throwing football in the street. I go slow, wave, they wave back. As I pull up to the stop sign to turn left, wouldn't you know a new black 2008 Accord sedan doesn't stop, just turns right on the corner. He revs the engine and proceeds to speed, I look as he slams on the brakes as he sees the kids in the street.
On the way back from cruising, a 2001 or so Accord sedan, well this guy decides to turn left into a one way lane. In other words, he turned left into a lane that is one way. Half his car is street and he has now blocked the flow of traffic to turn left, as there is no light.
Then I go to eat, and the pic of the RL.
Coincidence? I think not.
Of course not. I was just kidding with you. But there are jerks out there who think nothing of a good key swipe.

I mean, there is nothing in my brain that says "hey, lets park in 2 spots". When I park, I park like a normal human being. If I don't want to be bothered, I will park by the island or 3 miles away and just walk to wherever I am going.
