A-holes, the bunch of them.
A few years ago at Christmas, I drove around a mall parking lot for about 20 minutes looking for a parking spot when I gave up and parked on the street about a 10 minute walk away. I was walking through the mall parking lot and saw 2 spots next to each other had opened up. While I was walking, a pickup drove up and parked at 45 degrees taking both the spots. I yelled across the parking lot at him, but he just went into the mall. Some people are just rude.

I'm one of these people, in parking lots where the lanes are too close together or stalls to narrow for the turning radius of my truck. Believe me all it takes is trying to squeeze into a stall once and scraping the side of another vehicle and you'll be on the bandwagon too.
Chinook is horrible for their tiny stalls/lanes and their parkade is too short for my truck to get into so if i go their i either end up taking 2 stalls or parking across the street at the home depot.
If me not being willing to risk another 1500$ to fix a scratch on someones car because some mall feels they need to try to squeeze in more spots then actually would fit into a area makes me rude and chaffs your ass then so be it. If everyone made decent sized parking stalls say like costco then no one would have this issue.
Of course i usually park at the back of the lot where there isn't anyone else so the point is rather moot. Too me your parking stall entitlement is rather entertaining.
