Looking at the slope down and the front wheels sitting in the drainage channel I think you might actually be on to something there.. At least I hope you are as otherwise I got nothing..

Selfish or thick? We'll never know the answer, all we know is that they shouldn't be driving.

I think all brands of cars are equally likely to be parked badly, people just notice more expensive brands more.

Plot twist: the Ka is being driven slowly around the car park, but we can't see this because it's a still photograph.

That's probably where the handbrake has failed and it slowly rolled to that area.

If they'd parked at 90 degrees across the middle of the lines they could have blocked 6 spaces. Amateur.

Absolute idiot. They could have taken up 6 spaces if they had actually thought about it

Def not new driver, freshly out of school would remember how they should to park, new drivers overthink stuff and not yet have that “I know everything because I’ve driven for 50 years” attitude.

I always think, why??? and my answer: maybe they really needed to go number two (like really, really) and they were really sorry in a moment for that but the fight was “life or death” )) I mean, who would do that intentionally?

Actually when it comes to toilet emergencies there is similar alert scale to US military DEFCON5-1 in place, here it is:
DEFCON 5: Normal peacetime readiness, plenty of time to locate a restroom.
DEFCON 4: A gentle nudge. Increased intelligence gathering for toilet locations near by.
DEFCON 3: Definite urgency. Fast walking with purpose, no more detours, anxiety raising.
DEFCON 2: Conversation becomes impossible, tunnel vision, every red light is a personal insult.
DEFCON 1: Bargaining with universe / praying.** **The dam is cracking, Explosion is imminent,
So if it was 1-2 level it is forgivable.

I don’t blame them. If I drove a car like that I would also park it there to prevent dings and dents. People just don’t respect each other’s property. That’s an expensive car, do you have any idea how much a panel respray is on one of those…..
