Bit of a grey area
I know some people will fling open their doors into other cars in carparks but its still a major pain in the arse in a busy car park when you see people parking like this.
I tend to just park at the quiet end away from the other cars.

Every other morning the end of my street is half blocked by a co-op truck unloading, very unnerving as you're turning onto a busy road and you can see absolutely nothing!

Last time I was back in the UK I was lucky enough to borrow a Bentley for a few days and did exactly that when I had to park in a multi-storey.
I'm sure there were a lot of busy bodies thinking 'look at that knob taking up 2 spaces'. However I'd paid for them.

temobile doesn't mean it isn't someones P&J. That exact mindset is held by the people who ding YOUR doors. Like the yummy mummy in her vw toe-rag who throws her door open into your car, because anything that isn't a 4x4 is ste and doesn't matter Doesn't mean he should park like that, just pointing out the error of your ways.

That's terrific.
Bah none of the above are really trying, I give you the Huge Yank Truck. Yep it was parked (you can see the drivers door open).
Now the council have painted yellow lines from behind the Mondeo to the blue thing to give those people heading towards the camera somewhere to pull into when cars apppear from round the corner (normally at speed). Naturally the lazy morons round me still park where they want to save themselves the extra 100 yard walk or even the additional wear and tear of actually turning into the carpark (hidden behind the truck)

You seem to be suggesting that he should park his van on the kerb. I'm sure any pedestrians walking past would very much enjoy having to wander into the busy road to get past his van. t nearly ever dayNot the best picture but this is what happens...
People on my road have been asking for years to get cars to park on the road rather than on the pavement, who cares if you (shock horror) have to stop to wait for a gap to get past.
I've got to admit to parking like a t*t tonight by using two spaces. I backed nicely into a space, but didn't think about my mate in the passenger seat who's on crutches. There was no chance of him getting out without banging the car next to us, so as the car park was quiet, I drove forward, and reversed again, this time over two spaces. I had a stupid woman giving me evils as if she was wanting to park in once of the spaces I took. Didn't she see my mate struggling to get out of the car? 
To be honest, had I seen my car abandoned over two spaces, I would have probably thought "typical irresponsible 4x4 driver", but just occasionally there is a good reason!

Living on a turning head on a council estate we have more than our fair share of bad parking.
The view from the driveway shows the row of cars who park IN FRONT of their garages (because their garages are too full of st that they have bought with all their benefit money) and then this visitor has decided to park behind that lot too. Always people visiting the same house, and we have asked them many times not to do it, with a mixture of bad and worse results. Can't wait to move away when house prices pick up.
This is it on another day. Note that there is a complete row of three cars blocking our driveway here:
I hate hate HATE council residents. My house currently stinks at vomit inducing levels of garlic AGAIN, thanks to our lovely eastern european workshy tt next door.
