Y’know... this is all too real.
Standard perpendicular parking space width is about 9 feet. Average car width is about 6 ft (give or take). This means that if you park centered, you typically get 1.5 feet on either side, plus another 1.5 ft from your neighbor’s parking space. That’s 3 feet to open doors on both sides, a fair amount of room.
...In theory.
Unfortunately, it all depends on people parking not just “between the lines”, but PERFECTLY centered. And honestly, I’m not so sure that that’s a reasonable thing for property owners or lot designers to expect...

A former coworker subscribed to the motto that “On the line means it’s fine”.

A couple years ago I was DD’ing a beater 2003 Accord (5 speed of course!) but it had faded or scratched paint on just about every panel.
I absolutely LOVED finding the dick who parked over the line on the driver’s side. I would slide my passenger side right up along side them, legally parking myself well within my space and hope they left the store before I did and had to crawl over their center console.
Passive aggressive? Sure. Vindictive? Sure. Felt good? Damn straight.

And if you park to one side to account for a poor parker it has a ripple effect all down the line.
