I take up two spaces when I can, basically because I hate people that dont respect my stuff. I only do that if the lot is big enough and I park in the furthest row away. Last year my Jeep looked mint, now it looks like crap because of careless people. This includes a hit and run in a parking lot last month that left me with a caved in door. I hear what your saying though, it is annoying when people park that close and do that
