Ha I don't know what his case was, but for me, being a car guy, I'll park every vehicle I own like that. I absolutely abhor door dings, so even if I'm driving my truck which sees gravel roads and hauls loads of lumber, I'll still park in the middle of nowhere. If I see a nice BMW out there that just had a cut and polish I'll gladly park beside it, because I know, being a fellow car guy, he'll be respectful when opening his doors. Not only that, since I'll show the same respect when opening my doors, his car is now protected from someone else who may park beside him who won't show that mutual respect.
Alternatively, when I'm out with my car and I'm parked in the furthest spot away from the entrance, and come out and there's some 17 year old that parked his 1992 Honda Civic beside me that's seen better days, I think "You know what, there's a kid that may not have the best car on the road but he's a car guy and cares for it - kudos".
