Default Am I evil? Parking lot squish.

On Friday my wife and I went to the mall in separate cars. Upon arriving at the mall my wife was about to pull into a space that was nice and close to the entrance, but there was a car (Mitsubishi Mirage) with it's driver's side on the line, so of course with my wife's Odessey she didn't want to take chances parking next to the Mirage. So she had to find another space.

I was driving my 1989 Civic Si and it needs some TLC in the paint and body department so I pulled into the space. I didn't really care if the person dinged my car to get in their car - it annoys me to no end when people cannot even park straight so other people can also get into the space next to them. I parked between the lines (of course), which left the Mirage with about 1' of space to get in - AM I EVIL?

My wife, daughter and I went shopping. We came out about 1 hour later and saw a lady (in her 50s) trying to get in that Mirage. As we were walking out she tried the passenger side, driver's side, passenger's side again but sliding over (but couldn't). I walked pass my car so we could put my daughter in the van. As I'm walking back to my car I just casually get in my car (after she is 1/2 way slid over the center console) and pull out.

Not evil at all. People need to learn how to park one way or another.
