Check this out, count the bays :
Disgraceful !! I am not as bad as that
In supermarkets I always park over two bays to protect my car from careless shoppers that do not give a damn about other peoples property.
I park at the farthest distance from the entrance where there are always plenty spare bays.
I do however have to be careful that the car park management has not been outsourced.
I have a car that is serviced regularly, looks brand new and I want to keep it that way. Buying a new for the sake of having a new car is not for me, I take a pride in having a 9 year old car worth very little that looks like it has just come out the showroom.
I am very careful where I park in my home town and have a number of safe spots where I know no other car can damage mine, if anywhere else I will spend a little longer looking for a safe spot, if none are available I will park alongside a car that is similarly looked after.
So long as I am not depriving others in the way I park see no harm in it at all.
It is called damage limitation.
There is a woman who lives across the road to me. If there is a space outside her house she has to park her car so the drivers door is directly at the end of her footpath. This will be in total disregard for any other cars already parked nearby, meaning gaps not quite big enough for others to park. Just last week she practically parked against my son's front bumper just so she was at the end of her footpath, yet there was half a car length behind her to my car.
