This is the best advice. Your father is right.

Point being: a-hole drivers everywhere.
I'd be parking Further away where i would have more room, if i was driving that truck, but he IS inbetween the lines. Parking spot layouts are getting smaller everywhere...

The closer you park towards the door, the more problems you'll have.

Very true! Thats why you wont find me near the doors. Always look for a spot with lots of room and no shopping carts near by, that lazy *** people just leave standing around instead of pushing them to a collection point

There was a time when I woulda busted both his mirrors off for doing something like that. I guess I'm getting mellow in my old age.

He didn't park. He just stopped and f*cked off. I'm just surprised it wasn't a Mercedes...

That is why I usually park far away from everybody.

That was probably a "visual driver"..an individual that is unable to judge distance when another vehicle is not in usual & customary visible range (they do not look at lines).
Basically they would park worse if a bike was also on the other side of their car (again because they do not look at lines)
I once parked in the center of a well marked parking space at a shopping center and returned to find my bike literally squeezed on both sides (car doors inches from engine guard/unable to stand-up bike) .
People came and just forgot all about the "lines" and "created" their own spaces.
Side note: consider looking at all 6 sides as sometimes the really bad drivers are behind you.
