From the balcony of my home, I just watched the driver of this "Smart" Car park in such a way that, if they'd have moved slightly forwards or backwards, would have allowed a second, full-size car to also park in the space.
But they didn't.
I am sorely tempted, but the fact is that I have my own dedicated parking spot, and never need to park in that area. As such, they are spared my wrath.
For now.

It occurs to me that I already own the more sophisticated version of that tool, which will now be moving from the toolchest into the glovebox.
I also just remembered that the ***-end of my car is already beat to hell, and another collision or two (say, a reverse T-bone into the door) is in no way going to detract from its value.
Chicago *******-parkers: fear me. I have nothing to lose.
As of this day, I am the parking Batman.

If I have the chance I park in end spots far away from everyone and maybe 80% of the time come out to find some genius parked like a douche next to me (this is no matter what car I am driving). Guess they showed me! Unfortunately they never consider how they are ******* over the next person to park in the spot after me.

(obviously we'd be wearing our undies on the outside while doing this so that passer's by would immediately recognise us as "parking superheroes" rather than arseholes)

So they just re-coated and lined our office's parking lot.
They sent out email, and put up signs, and blocked off areas.
A few cars still parked in the lot that day, one parked there overnight:
picture doesn't do it justice, but if I was facilities, I'd be hella pissed.

Interesting. I can Brain's pic on my phone, but not on my desktop. I've tried both Chrome and IE.
That sign is really annoyingly vague. I prefer parking signs which are clear and unambiguous, such as this one:
