Maybe expect that behaviour from one of them, but not both.

I reckon the Audi was there first and the Aston driver realised that even if he did park correctly next to the other car, there wouldn’t be enough room for anything else to get in the space left by the Audi.
Don’t forget, Astons are gentlemen’s cars...
If the Audi had arrived second it could quite easily have parked correctly.
Aston being sensible with the available space.

The original news report says it was at a supermarket on Christmas eve. Usually that would mean a rammed car park with almost every space taken. If so that makes both of these drivers a total knob.
I can sort-of understand people doing this when parking at the far end of a half-full car park, as it doesn't really inconvenience anyone. I wouldn't do it myself but at least there is a case for it. In a full car park you need to be a prick to do it, plain and simple.

I don't often go to the super market in my Aston, but when I do as the car park is massive and never full (even at Xmas) I park where there's loads of room but between the white lines. Then mostly when you get back some knob as parked right next to you in is big truck even though there's loads of room.
Either way you can't win so tend to go in my bashed up Clio.

Agree. Also the hatchback appears to be very close to the line. Would need to see all the context before passing judgement.Don’t forget, Astons are gentlemen’s cars...

Really each space should have its own individual lines (detached rather than terraced to use a housing analogy) as it is impossible for both cars to go up to the same line. I could write a whole thesis about how most car parks are laid out badly.

Post the link. Does it show the rest of the car park? I can sort-of understand people doing this when parking at the far end of a half-full car park, as it doesn't really inconvenience anyone.

I see touchy people taking pictures of badly or even partially badly parked cars all the time. As a matter of fact we have a local Facebook group that may as well be dedicated to it. The other pathetic first world topics posted on that group go to show what a bunch sad and bitter favour owed hate fuelled time wasters they really are. Doubtful a Fiesta or Clio parked the same would merit a picture.

Really ?
Never read anything so daft for ages.
Not worthy of taking a photo in the first place , never mind starting a thread on here about it.
Someone has too much time on their hands.....

Hi Buster,
I occasionally start topics to provoke a discussion or reaction. Clearly it sometimes works!
Please don't take it too seriously.
The photograph has nothing to do with me.
A regional newspaper published it, then the story moved on to the Google News website.
Perhaps the photographer might have the last laugh, if paid by the publishers.
No one has yet dared to say anything about Audi drivers.

I always park as far from the shop door as I can. The problem is however that spaces are just not big enough for cars these days. In the Range Rover I often need to straddle the line to give myself and an already parked car space to open a door.
^^^^ 
Spaces are far too small nowadays, I would rather take up two spaces and buy two tickets than come back and find some idiot has opened their door into my car.
