Default The way some people park!!!!

I should have taken a photo, never mind. But I was incredulous when I saw this newish Honda mid-sized 4x4 parked in a parallel parking place but it was left so that it was at an angle of about 20° to the white delineating lines. So that opposite front and back chunky bumpers were actually encroaching into the spaces on the left and right of this vehicle. I had to use the space to the left of this Honda and my driver's door ends up so that its near the bumper of the Honda, therefore not much opening space. What is it with some people? I have seen this quite frequently lately and it often seems to be with 4x4 type cars or 'people-movers'. Are people getting out of their depth with the type of vehicles they're getting around in? When I sat for my license eons ago, the parking tests were quite stringent. I'm not happy unless I leave a car park having aligned and centred it properly, back, front and both sides. Call me obsessive compulsive......
