Sorry, but I'll have to add my vote against double parking also. Just my .02
I too also want to know if your disabled how you can drive a 4x4 Crew Cab Ford Duelie w/ 10" of lift?
Parking stories.
My wife parked next to a "Handi" spot once. She was on her way home from work and merged into another car accidentally. She thought she scratched up the side of my MINI and the rear wheel moulding. Actually figured out through research of accident and eye witness' account a lady pulled into the "Handi" spot w/ a new Yukon Denali XL earlier in the day. When she left she cut it too hard and scraped my car but never stopped to leave a note or anything. Guess she figured she already had too much wrong in her life cause I would have left her crying like a child when I was done w/ her. The accidental merging incident didn't leave a single mark on the MINI.
I used to work at a Navy base her in SE Florida. I'm pretty much office bound now. We were working on one ship who's lot has motorcycle parking spots. Regular spots were so hard to find that some people would show up at least an hour early for work. One officer would constantly park his HD 883 Sportster in a regular spot. We guessed he thought he was too good for regular motorcycle parking. "Someone" got upset one day and brought a 5lb bag of bird seed to work. They spread it all over the ground around the bike but not "on" the bike. Anyone in a coastal area knows how much fun seagulls are! The bike was completely covered in bird poo come 5pm! It was the last day he parked there.

Not a bad price on the web site, 100 for $30 bucks.

Which is where I park,
and yes sometimes I'll take up two spaces.
I'll walk two blocks just so I don't have to park next to someone else.

YES! and do the deed while dressed in a Wile E. Coyote disguise (birdseed reference, guaranteed to attract roadrunners). Beep-Beep!Who'd have thought "birdseed" would make my day - still grinnnning, that's destined to be a classic.

Well, I wouldn't do anything worse than leaving a note on the windshield expressing my displeasure over your being such a jerk. On the other hand, if I saw someone keying you or dropping dog turds on your driver's seat I'd keep my mouth shut. Pete

Oh, to have my USB cable with me.
I park in BFE at Target, no one around me. I come back out a half hour later, and there's a ford Taurus parked over my line, and a ford truck beside them, with half their bed in the spot beside me. Cross over the curb, and you will find a camaro/firebird straddling two spots. With a cart right next to his car
I didn't do anything about it, but took lots of pictures. All the people walking to their cars looked at me with mouths dropped. Either ti was the nerve for me to take the pictures, or that they parked that that.
After that experience, i'm SO buying some iparklikeanidiot stickers.

On my lunch time errand (to the bird-seed supplier errr, i mean the electronics store), I parked with usual care between a 3-series with aftermarket wheels, and a sweet black Z4 convertible... (I must have missed the young blonde woman whose Z4 it was, but oh well)... Both my parking mates had done a reasonable job of achieving center of space nirvana...
When I returned to my car, both Bimmers were still there on either side (still no sign of the Z4 driver darn it) and all was well. Actually, I don't even know why I posted this boring "happy ending" story
