Is It Ever OK To Take Up TWO Parking Spots?

Off it's not okay. Don't bitch and moan if you park your car like this and come out finding your car get key, egg or hit by another car. I hate dumb ass that park their like they own whole parking building. Please be considerate of other people around. You're important but Not that important.

It is okay, don't park next to them if it's a problem for you. It's insane that you people advocate criminal damage to property because you don't like the way someone parks their car. What are you? Stupid? At the most it's a minor inconvenience. Mind your business park somewhere else. This person just spent 30k on a new car, can't they enjoy it for a minute before some jealous jerk scratches it up.
Would you have said anything or keyed someone's new Bentley or Ferrari if they took 2 spaces? Hell no you'd be jealous and trying to peak in the windows. This guys Honda is a Bentley to him, don't hate, mind your business.

Note that I did not advocate vandalism nor did I say I would do it (it would not even cross my mind).

Taking two or more parking spots is a selfish act that pisses people off, especially in crowded parking lots. Its just a fact - I would not act on it, but I am not like everybody.

Learn how to park on the right-end stall - it works pretty well and does not piss people off.

Actually YES, but only in a corner very far AWAY from other vehicles...I do that ALL the time. I've even parked on vacant levels at times, JUST to avoid the door dings. The only times i can't, is during the holiday shopping season...Then I use wifey's car ;)

Im not so sure about the USA where parking spaces are properly sized.

But here in the UK where spaces are deliberately sized for small vehicles {By Socialists} to deter Drivers of Big Vehicles {5-Series...} it is perfectly ok in my opinion.

HTF can a human park a Panamera in a space designed for an A3 whit vehicles on both sides ?

Once i returned to my properly parked vehicle to find that i could only get in from the sunroof because some twats had parked too close on both sides {Not their fault as spaces are tight}.

Since then, 2 spaces every time, but i always park further away from venue, where there are more empty spaces.

It also depends whether the two spots are assigned to the owner of the car. In some of the high-rise homes, homeowners are sometimes assigned with two to three parking spots. If the homeowners do not own two or three cars, I don't see a problem with him or her taking up his or her own spots.

Other people have no respect for others property. Because they have a car they don't care about and treat like dirt, they feel they can treat others the same way. I always park away in spots from others. Of course a few years ago, I did just that and someone parked next to me in an unauthorized spot, leaving a ding in my door. I had that car for 4 years without a scratch. I was so mad. It still bothers me every time I see it. Not a scratch since.

If you have paid for, or own, both spots, then it is O.K.
Also, if you own a newer, upscale car (BMW, Merc, Audi, et al), then it's O.K. - door dents are expensive to fix..
But a Honda Accord???? - No effing way....

Not okay, ever!

If you are that worried that your car will receive a door ding from some asshole who doesn't car about the POS they are driving, then you should leave your prized baby at home, in here protected sanctuary.

The only thing worse is when some idiot tries to stuff a large suv into a compact parking spot or is inept at driving that they with a quarter of the vehicle bisecting the corner of the spot next to it.

These people should have their licenses taken away and other bad things.
