Sorry, gotta throw the crybaby flag on this one. Yes, irritating - I get it. Also unnecessary, I agree. But he is parked in a legal spot totally within the parking lines. Entirely within the bounds of the social contract. You have no right to 'extra room'. You have no case.
What case? He doesn't have a right to say the guy's being a jerk? Legally there might not be a case But I don't think anybody claimed there was.
If the parking lot was full then I would agree but it was empty. I would say the odds are 90%. The guy was trying to be a D-Bag

Yea, probably. But I wish that was the biggest thing I had to worry and complain to the world about......

Maybe he does have bigger things to complain about, maybe not but this is a car forum about Mavericks so .....also apparently there's a perception of big truck bros having an issue with Mavericks

Ram drivers really are the worst, If I could pick one single model of vehicle to eliminate from the world it would be Ram trucks.
Don't forget Prius, Nissan Altima and Volkswagen Jetta drivers 🙄

I don't need to have a case and neither this has anything to do with legality. There is half of the parking lot with plenty of parking spaces to use. It's social ettiquette not to dick on someone's personal space like that. Think if YOU or YOUR wife was disabled and had to get into the back seat. I bet you would feel differently.

This happens to me all the time, I park so far away people don't want to ride with me, they say lets take a uber, then when I come out there's always some Ahole parked next to me.
Last week it was a ratty old rusted out Honda and a shopping cart on other side. People suck I rather spend my time with Dogs.

Watching how people drive when they tailgate but won't pass when you move over makes me believe some feel the need to be in proximity to other cars. Drive in packs.

Makes sense that they might do the same in parking lots. I had one pull up right next to me parked out like that when I was waiting in my truck when it was still really cold.

I pulled forward and away from him. When I came out ofthe store he had the door thrown wide open and was outside the truck in shorts and bare feet. Truck full of garbage. Loon driver acting like a loon. Go figure.

Oh my goodness I can't stand it. Like someone standing too close in a que behind you. Why? Just why.

I live in a small town. There is plenty of road 99% of the time. It happens far too often. Just at the beginning of town there are two major neighborhoods and people are constantly jumping on the main road from. It's like they at the quarter mile track how fast they get up to 50 mph and then ride your ass. Even more annoying is when/if they finally do decide to pass, it's at 10 mph over the limit... like you were the problem or something for going the speed limit. And then they get right back over, no indicator.

Couldn't help myself the other day and it's not something I usually do, but I made a light show out of my indicators after seeing multiple drivers not using their indicators. Mainly because I was the last vehicle and nobody was behind me, otherwise they might have thought I was having a stroke. What made it worth while was seeing the person in front extending their neck and visually checking their rear view mirror. Yep... that was for you! Use your damn indicators and learn to leave some space. They got the same red light I got stopped at btw... and I passed them on the left lol.

So what is the weapon of choice in this situation? Ice pick, box cutter, side cutters to cut the valve stem?

I think you may need to adjust your monitor. "Totally within the Lines"?

Not even close, actually ON the line closest to the Maverick.

Even if I chose to pull a * move like that, I would at least park correctly in the spot.

I think you are taking this a bit too serious lol. Them posting about it is basically r/midlyinfuriating. It's not like they came in here with all caps and a video of them screaming at the person who parked that way.

We all have problems. Everyone has them, every day. It doesn't excuse shitty behavior or the awkward weirdness that comes from people that do stuff like this. Situational awareness goes a long way. I'd say they did a pretty good job at being non confrontational, unlike your claims. They just wanted to share it. That's all. It's not that serious.

But I think making excuses for the person who parked that way is an odd hill to die on.

They suck at parking. People suck. It got shared. The end.
There really isn't a need for a life lesson here towards OP.

I purposely parked in no man’s land so I wouldn’t be next to anyone. Plus I got a baby to put in the back seat on the passenger side. Came out and saw this d**k face pulled up as I’m walking to my truck. Had to squeeze in to put the baby in the back seat while he was on the phone texting. I’m so done living with humans. Time to move to Mars.

One option is next to the cart return or a tree island. Then nobody can block you. I've been trying for the "muddled middle", kind of hiding in plain sight rather than boondocks off to the side lately. The "way out" areas sometimes has "special characters", as you discovered. And Yes, I've been "coal rolled" before. Gotta turn the other cheek.

"Muddled middle island hug":
