This! Also a lot of times at various places the end spot has a little extra room. I almost always park this way in this spot (or away from where anyone else parks) when I go into work:



Basically the positions are angled and there is extra room on the end spot. The top line is a wall (part of the parking structure) and the right line is a partition which isn't very tall (just a few inches).

Parking like that doesn't take up an extra spot and it keeps my car far away from the other cars that park next to me (I can open my door all the way without hitting them so that is generally the case with them as well.

I was actually pissed because I got a nasty gram from the building about 'parking outside of the lines' or some crap. Its really ridiculous as that is obviously meant for people who end up taking up two spots or are going into another persons spot but I am just using the extra space that no one can park. I was very annoyed by that.

People who take up two spots annoy me. There is really no valid reason to do that. If you take up two spots far enough back where no-one parks then why even take up two spots in the first place? I have left a note on someones car before because they parked so close to me (when all the other spots were empty) that I could *barely* get into the car but never even bothered with people who are just being ******** and aren't affecting me directly.
