re: People parking next to you despite intentionally parking far as possible from destination

This happened yesterday:



A nearly totally empty parking lot. I parked in the spot up front next to a handicap spot. Guy (or gal) pulls in while I’m strapping a child in on the drivers side and parks not in a parking spot, but just off my bumper in a driving lane. Woman gets out of the passenger side and goes in. I back out so we nearly touch mirrors, and he (or she) puts his (or her) truck in drive and accelerates quickly into the handicap spot next to where I was. No handicap tag or hanger that I could see, of course. As I was pulling away, the woman came back out, got in, and the truck backed out and began to leave.

I’m still mystified as to what they were doing.
