Really they should just have some concrete parking blocks in that lot. Not sure if I can really blame the drivers here… it’s just a bad setup.

Shouldn't the driver be able to know where their car ends without a concrete barrier?
In the front, yes - but knowing how much your rear might be sticking out is another story. That's tough to judge with rear-view and side-view mirrors only.
Maybe it's different elsewhere but at least in the Midwest US we have a range of different length parking spots, from very short to long, so it's habit to pull as far forward as possible to ensure you aren't sticking out into the aisle.
The courteous folks hop back in and reposition if they're parked funky, but those types can be far and between.
How do you not hit stuff when reversing? I agree that it's tough to judge with mirrors only but it's definitely possible if you've been driving for more than two weeks.
Drivers simply don't give a shit, everything else is just excuses.
Practical answer: because they haven’t installed concrete wheel stops on the ground in that parking lot. If that’s a used walkway, they should.
I know, people are assholes, etc. I’m just mentioning a solution that is actually available, where unassholing everyone isn’t.
I don't know, man, I'm still routing for having a bulldozer drive over random walkways throughout the day.
Bad at parking or got a car that just won't fit into parking lots? → Enjoy a newly shortened car.
Time to put some not too visible bricks right onto the curb.
My whole neighborhood looks like this and I fucking hate it. Sometimes I fantasize about having a giant Flex and cut every car where the sidewalk begins
Anyone else questioning whether there are the same location? Might be, and I know people park like that, it’s just… weird angle and easy to throw together as rage bait.
They want their cars scratched, that's why!
As a small kid i once rode my kickscooter in a similar parked car, cause to be honest I wasn't looking and also wasn't expecting a car to pretrude like one meter into the sidewalk. While I was definitly careless (and also like 5) you should expect accidents happening when you leave stuff in places they don't belong.
