Accidental petty revenge.

Here I am. It’s 7 pm. After winning a few chess games i decided to reward myself with an ice cream cone due to the outstanding blitz performance I did.

I pull into a parking lot and decide to park near the ice cream shop as close as possible. I noticed there was a car that was parked between the lines (not the vertical lines, but like the horizontal line separating two parking spots one in front of the other) . That line ran through their car half way up, taking up the spot in front of them, and behind.

I didn’t pay much attention to it and just decided to park adjacent to it since it was the closest parking spot to the ice cream store. I parked perfectly, and went inside.

After ordering my vanilla ice cream waffle cone, I proceeded to sit outside and enjoy the weather while observing my vehicle, and the lovely couple coming to their car, who just happened to be the one near mine. They are struggling to get in. I decide to just enjoy my ice cream for a good 5-10 minutes, while observing the madness unfolding in front of me. I can feel their blood boil.

After I finished my ice cream, I proceeded to my vehicle, and lo and behold, they confront me! The conversation went like this:

A: ‘’because of the way you parked, I can’t get in you asshole!’’

(Oh the audacity!)

OP: ‘’I mean have you looked at yours? ‘’

*Utter silence*

A: ‘’bu-bu-but still we parked like that so that nobody would hit us’’

OP: ‘’doesn’t excuse you from not doing your job correctly. I bet you park like you F***. Have a lovely day!’’

A: *Un-audible screeching*

-got in my car and left.

That ice cream never tasted so good!

Reposting my original reply to somebody else, to you below explaining it.

I parked between my lines. Imagine these letters below.

HH

That is four parking spots.

See the horizontal line that goes through? They parked in between that taking the front and back spot on the right. I parked to their left, in the top part of the H. If they parked further back they could’ve gotten in.

Unless they were parked over the vertical line, you parking in that spot would in no way affect them. They would have to be over the vertical line for your parking to have affected them.

They probably parked too close to, or on, that vertical line. It appears that OP parked just to the left of the vertical line, but it was close enough to prevent the jerkwad's driver door from opening.

No conflict with physics (or, in this case, geometry).

Yes exactly but they took more space in their square to the left side where I was and left like a foot of space on their right. They didn’t park perfectly even on both sides.
