Really good take. Although i do feel that whilst perhaps the act was unintentional in the first instancw and can be forgiven, leaving it that way or not correcting it afterwards is a bit different.
I once watched someone park where i work, and they were across the line a bit, taking 2 spaces out of action, and i thought, whoops! They will notice and sort that. I then watched that person get out of the car, check how they had parked and then fight some internal battle for a full 3 minutes as they moved to walk away, then stopped suddenly and went back to look on a loop. Eventually, they decided to walk away. You would turn up later and give them the benefit of the doubt, but i know they are just an asshole. 😆
I also once saw someone do this at work Image

Same here. I don’t want to get dinged or be “that person” and I’ll pull out and realign myself if I think my parking was bad. I couldn’t imagine parking like this and thinking it was ok. My guess is they they were in a big rush, figured there was plenty of empty space in the lot and the space next to them was empty and thought “I’ll only be here for a minute”.
As I learned from Buddhism “Don’t assume everything is aimed at you or deliberate.” Then there is “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

Both of those are concepts I try to keep in mind. On the whole, people are just trying to live their lives and mean nothing personal by their actions whether they are inconsiderate or not.
