What does the other side look like?

I've posted about it many times, but one morning when we lived in Brighton I came out to my car to find people parked against the front and rear bumper. I had to "wiggle" the car out of the spot using the give in the suspensions of the other cars to get free. My car was a manual too, so it was extra fun.

I think I had to use the e-brake to hold while shifting too since the second foot was already busy clutching. It was a bonkers operation and despite that being probably over 16 years ago it remains a reason I hate street parking.

Sounds about right, but also totally fucking miserable.

I often carry a 3’ metal pipe in my car that I use as an extension/torque multiplier for the handle on my little floor jack. I’m not sure which part of the other car I’d use it on if I found myself in the same situation, but suffice to say I am not terribly confident I’d have the self-control to leave it in the same shape I found it in.

I had 1.5-2 feet of space between me and the car behind me so I was able to get out, it was just a lot more annoying than it had to be. Not to mention this idiot that was touching my car left 4+ feet of space between them and the car in front of them lmao.

This is like the story of the farmer whose son found a horse. It’s possible that the guy in front of the guy in front of you pushed that car into you so he could get out, and the new guy pulled in and left him space.

Well. You’re not wrong with either of these suggestions, but…neither of them will leave the user with the same satisfaction as absolutely just beating the shit out of something with a 3’ pipe, so consider my mind unchanged lol

I disagree, unless you know for a fact that the person that parked there left 4’ in front and was touching OPs car in back. Maybe they were actually being considerate taking this parking spot instead of double parking, or partially blocking a curb cut or crosswalk. It could have been a tight space and the person did a 14-point parking maneuver to wiggle in, I don’t know. Parking is a valuable resource and if it’s in short supply, I think people should absolutely squeeze in, especially if there is not any damage. OP was able to get out, so it took an extra 30-60 seconds. What’s the harm? Probably spent more time making a post about it and responding to all the comments.

you disagree with my opinion? Ok, whatever

As for this particular case, you can play devil's advocate all you want but quite honestly, I think you're reaching

I'm done - you can have the last word if you feel you need it - and guessing from the length of this reply and the amount of thought that went into you, you probably will

You seem upset by a really even-handed comment. Actually living in the city and street parking regularly (as I and my wife did for quite a few years), I'd see situations like that u/BikeIsKing describes regularly. Enough to know that if I see weird/obnoxious parking spacing, I safely bet on it being due to the vagaries of people leaving and arriving at different times leaving the awkward gaps.

Dollars to donuts this person squeezed into a spot and someone in front of them left before OP arrived. They also said they had 2 feet of space behind them, which is a luxury when street parking here, and plenty of room to get out.

This is why people buy bumper buddies.

I did this once (my front to their trunk). I got an angry anonymous letter on my windshield. "I can't even put away my baby's stroller". Frankly, I had never given that a single thought. I haven't parked that close since.
