Why is it that in the UK we just don't get car parks right?
In many other countries I have travelled and driven to and in, car park spaces are at an angle, allowing easier parking than at a 90 degree angle. Plus, the spaces are big enough so that you can at least open your doors to the first stop. In the UK, the spaces are frickin TINY, you can't get in and out easily, they stick bollards, concrete posts or trees with raised kerb around them at the front of your space, it's stupid!
Plus, and this is my biggest bugbear, multistorey car parks that have unnecessary kerbs you are supposed to drive within, usually on entry and exits on a bend and on the ramps, and they are only just wide enough for small joe schmoe cars, not a RRS.
I was in one such car park in Stockport today and despite my BEST efforts it was impossible to negotiate it without scraping a wheel. GREAT!  Another ding on my alloys. The Chips Away man is going to have a right laugh at me!
