I don't think I will ever get used to people doing rude things just because they think they can.
For example I stopped by Dunkin Donuts to get a coffee this morning, and there were not any available parking spots. Two people decided to double park for no reason. So I sat there and waited for someone to come out so I could park and one of the first people to come out was a double parker. I rolled down my window and asked him why take two spaces. He just shrugged his shoulders and took off.
I'm lucky to live in a part of the country where basic courtesy and a kind of communitarian value system is still in place. So I don't encounter that very much at all. Not trying to be all Moonlight-and-Magnolias here for the South has its manifest flaws, but it is nice to live in a place where people hold the door open for one another and basic consideration seems to be baked into the culture.
So I'm a little shocked when I encounter it elsewhere. I was in New York a couple of months ago about to order at a McDonalds. Mind you, I already knew what I wanted, but I simply said, "Hello" to the cashier and the guy in back of me tried to break in line. As in his excuse was, "I don't have time for you to chit chat." Fortunately, the girl at the register said, "This guy is next. Wait in line." And everybody else shouted at him. But it was such an alien thing for me that people can even think of doing something like that.
Maybe he had a nice car and somebody who is even more entitled feeling scratched it by parking too close and opening the door. So he decided that in the future he prevents *******s from dinging his car and double parks.

Just a guess.
It's a car. Wonder if there would have only been one space available? Would they have gone ahead and parked or declined because of a potential ding? If your car is so special it deserves 2 spaces, it belongs in a showroom, a garage or waay out in the hinterlands of large parking lots on uncrowded days only.

Besides, it seems like double parking in a tight parking lot only increases the likelihood that someone's going to back into you, etc.
I once saw a car that was taking up FOUR spaces in a shopping centre lot by parking across the lines. It was a 5 series Mercedes Benz.
He came back to find his car surrounded by four other cars, all less than six inches from his car. They turned out to be mall employees, who had seen this jerk do this for a week while he was working in the management office of the mall. They left their cars parked there, and went for supper after work, and came back about 9 pm.
Idiot boy had gone home in a taxi. He got it.
