Car bloat is causing parking problems in the US too.

In parking lots near me with smaller slots, I frequently see people just using alternating spaces now.

Earlier this week, I had someone in a large SUV come back to their SUV when I was parked on their passenger side and be unable to have the passengers enter the SUV. I was in my car and offered to pull out so that the passengers could get in, and the driver said no, that he could still get in the other side. He got in, pulled out into the lane down the parking lot, and his passengers boarded there. I have to wonder how frequently this story is playing out elsewhere.
