I just park out of the way. if possible at the end of a row so that one side is against a wall or something.
Dont care quite as much since I have had the saxo but I would still rather the sides of it not look like corrigated card

People who use 2 spaces are cunts, that attracts attention and more likely to get your car damaged I would say. I either park further away or in a space properly.
Most car parks have cctv though 
they won't help you out when they realise you've been parking like a retarded woman.
i usually park right near the door if i can find a decent space or further away where theres loads of spaces.
whats 30 yards extra? good exercise, especially when you do the old ''10 tesco bags about to break whilst holding them, need to get to the car as fast as possible'' trick.

Im feel the exact same way.
One time early in the morning i parked away from the very few cars that were in the car park. As i was about to get out some bitch came and parked right next to me, yet out of all those free spaces why the fuck park next to me, plus i wasnt exactly close to the tesco door. I actually faced her and shouted 'fur fuck sake' and i knew from the inicent smile she gave me that she knew i was raging. I got out and slammed my door and walked off in the huff. So many idiots out there its unreal.

Never took up two spaces though but i do make full use of the bigger spaces made for people with kids
Edit. Those spaces are actually made for the fatties that bend the fuck out the bolster whilst trying to squeez out.

I used to park diagonally across 2 spaces, out of the way, after someone actually denting my car when i parked normally but that was when I was bothered, now I'm not so fussed I'm still slightly wary so if there's an empty space with 2 newish cars either side and another with a clapped out bin at the side, I'll choose the newer cars or I'll always opt for an end space, if available, but I can't be bothered parking over 2 spaces now. I've nudged parking cones out of the way recently which has left a few yellow marks here and there but it just doesn't bother me anymore

I just park where there is a space. If it's tight I won't go in it but I usually just park half on the pavement

I generally find somewhere out of the way or on the end of the row so I can get further away to the car next to me.

I park in an end space, right up against the side of the space where there isnt a space next to me, can usually open the door fully and not go over the other white line.
These spaces are usually everywhere because people are so frigging lazy they CBA walking another 20 m

In a pay and display car park would parking over 2 spaces be so frowned upon if you had paid for 2 tickets?

My car is worth about as much as a packet of crisps so I don't care where I park, if I'm in my other half's car though I do try and park somewhere out of harm's way.

My clio is made of paper and the slightest tap from another car door leaves a dink. I always park on the end of a row or out of the way as noone wants to buy a car with a load of dents and scratches down both sides.
Me and the mrs went Tesco the other day and it was pissing it down so we parked up but sat in the car until it died off. Some bloke and his mrs come running back to their car parked next to ours, not realising we were in it, swung the door right open, BANG into the side of my car that hard it made the Mrs jump. So disrespectful, i got straight out in the rain walked over and went fucking mental at him, he shit himself and couldn't apologise enough.
Thinking of getting a MK2 TTS next but makes you wonder whether its worth it with so many pricks about.

To be honest, I don;t pay much attention - given the choice, I'll park at the end of a row or next to soemthing decent but I'm not overly fussy; I'd rather be near the door of wherever I'm going than parked a mile away so I don't get dinged.
Plus, what always seems to happen to me is that even if the carparks completely empty, you always come back to find someone parked next to you even if there are 1million other spaces available

If i'm driving something decent, i'll park away from everybody, or in parent and child.
I hate fuckers who take up parent & child space without a child.
Either get a child or GTF.
