As in they didn’t realize they’re taking 2 spots ?
Of course not. They don't take 2 spots davka, they just don't give it an ounce of thought.

There are absolutely people who take 2 spots davka, because they think parking normally will lead to dings from other peoples car doors.

Only in Brooklyn. I grew up in Flatbush. Many times I'd see signs adjacent to driveways saying things like:

'Don't even think about parking here'
'24-hour active driveway, parking is not allowed - EVEN FOR JUST ONE MINUTE!'
'It's against the LAW AND HALACHA to park here'

I had a neighbor who lived next door to a laundromat - he constantly had people blocking his driveway. While he had a good rapport with the Laundromat's owner, and there were signs in the laundromat warning against blocking the neighbors driveway, people still didn't care. One more than one occasion he'd have people towed. If he was returning home and the driveway was blocked, he'd double park and block the car in.

While I might have handled things differently, I totally understand his frustration.

Contrast that where I live now, the town I live in has a no overnight parking rule. So cars cannot be on the street between 2-6am. I almost never have a parking problem.

Nope. You’re the one who parks sideways & takes up 6 spots.

Most of the people parking like this in parking lots are from distracted driving. The way they drove to the parking lot looked the same because they were paying more attention to WhatsApp trying to hold the record button etc. than to the road

This is expensive, my neighbor used to have these: https://www.amazon.com/Dragway-Tools-Hydraulic-Positioning-Capacity/dp/B003W0F33O

You can literally pick up the car and leave it where you want  ;D.
I watched him lift some car of douche who blocked his driveway and left the vehicle in the middle of a busy large street. (on the middle turning lane)

CLE does this. It's the best. Never a parking issue and gives the streets such a clean feel.
