    Some people just like to watch the world burn. Had a friend that would park next to people out in BFE. I asked them “why” and he said “no real reason, I just like pissing them off”… not really friends with him anymore.

    Similar to movie theater seats. No one else in the theater, the next person walks in and sits right behind me except no GPS.

    Turn off location sharing on Google maps. You have your location shared with everyone and Google marks your location as good parking.

    I may be one of these people. At least for the more obscure places, the highway pullouts and national forests and things, if I see another person parked there, I’ll typically park next to them. Safety in numbers, the more people parked in a turnout, the more legitimate it looks to park there

        Post doesn’t complain about them parking super close so as to make opening the door difficult.

        I agree with the other commenter. Parking next to someone makes it look more legitimate. Or perhaps that person knows better where it is legal to park.
