Yes, what an *******. He parked no more than 4 feet from that car. It's an outrage.
Jesus. Everything people think about us is turning out to be true.
Jesus Schnell, you have been hammering this guy relentlessly over what seems like simple frustration over the endless number of rude or jealous jerks, many who unfortunately seem to drive pick-up trucks, who go out of their way to tail gate, cut off, drag race, or park ridiculously close to sports cars seemingly just to screw with the owners. There are endless threads on this board documenting the behavior. I am not saying physical violence is the correct response, but I also understand how people can be frustrated at the inconsiderate behavior of others.
Like most of the others, I'd let it go if there was no damage done to your car. He most likely parked that way just to **** you off, and he was successful, right? Guy probably thought he was going to show the rich guy driving a Porsche a thing or two.
But what is it about Lowes? I parked my then new Acura MDX as far away away from the doors as possible and took up 1 1/2 spots, but there were at least 50 empty parking spots between me and the door. I figured it was not an issue because of all the empty spots that were far closer. Someone disagreed and left me a note on my windshield telling me at length that I was a jerk. Maybe I'm wrong, but IMO they were the ones being a jerk. If I'd seen them leave the note I probably would have told them too.

Taking up more than one spot sends people over the edge, even if you are out in the south 40. I would recommend never doing that.

If you were surrounded by empty spots, then why take up 1 1/2 spots, anyway?
I agree, what they did was dumb, but if there's no one else parked next to, or even remotely close to you, why take up 1 1/2?
>>Take one spot, and never justify or attempt to rationalize more than one spot.
>>Park far and on the end, tucked over in your spot... and only your spot. It's instant respect. You just look like a guy that cares about his car and all it costs anyone is better parking for them, 'cause you didn't take a close spot. Big win in Lazy USA.
Warning!! ACHTUNG! Hog 1.5 spots, even far away, and you've annoyed some people. PERIOD. You can blather on and on and on and on and justify and rationalize BLAH BLAH FkkING BLAH.... but it does not matter. REALITY says that it annoys people; experience tells us it PROMPTS people.
That's it. That's reality. There is no "well, they should feel like this" or "they shouldn't feel like that".
IN REALITY, where we all live (hopefully), different things tick off different people and prompt them to act sometimes.
Park far and in park in an end spot if you care to. Even if the lot fills up, you did your best if you get a ding on the door, but it's very likely someone noticed your car parked all nice and courteous over on the end, and it will be fine.
Came out of town food co-op to find this. I figured I would wait till the guy came back to get in my car. Im a big guy and just couldnt get the door open enough to get in without risking damage.
Saw the truck again in town last week. Still has the Trump sticker I put over the existing Bernie sticker.
