Some input on these spaces.... They're the narrowest spaces I've encountered in a long time. If compared to the parking spaces in my local Target, they're downright bicycle sized. I can't think of anywhere else I park that both my left and right side wheels are within an inch of the lines.
Many parking lots have islands with curbs, with adjacent parking spots. if you park extra close to the curb, it will leave more room on the other side, reducing the chances of a door ding.
Snugged up, as in, while it's legal you're needlessly violating my unwritten social cue of personal space.
As mentioned, when a man enters the empty latrine and uses urinal #5, it would be socially bizarre for the next man to come over and stand at urinal #4. Legal, sure. Mental illness, probably. A sign of a person's lack of ability to learn social norms. There's 3 other perfectly good urinals not next to me, and I picked #5 because I didn't want someone "snugged up next to" me. (A great example, thanks to the @Jimmy_Russells )
It's the same here. I can see a half dozen other spots. WHY, WHY pick the one "snugged up" next to OP? It would have to be illegal to get closer to him... What's the purpose? Oblivious mental illness, perpetuating thru society.
This thread kind of reminds me of my neighbourhood parking arguments. The street parking in my neighbourhood is a gong show and people who live in the detached homes get mad when other people who live in nearby townhomes park in front of their houses (which is constant). It's a public street so nobody is doing anything wrong... But...
Another interesting point about this, I've already tried this in a different area of the lot, with my right mirror just inches from a concrete wall, and people go ahead and park over the lines close to me to make more space for THEIR passenger side. That's what prompted me to start parking centered in my space... It did me no good to deviate.
And, the inconsiderate white Lexus drivers' behavior, then results in the retaliatory defensive parking like this:
It would be interesting to measure one of them, if you get a chance next time. I've got various Building Code books and IDOT manuals here at the office.... They typically stipulate a minimum width but more commonly they are wider than that just to make the spacing work out while avoiding an odd-sized one at the end of the row.
Now that's just begging to be keyed, a parking job I would never do.And, the inconsiderate white Lexus drivers' behavior, then results in the retaliatory defensive parking like this:
That cozy space between those two vehicles makes for an excellent and somewhat secluded latrine.
I think there was a Seinfeld episode about this
That's when you leave and come back with a total beater and center it perfectly in the space you just left, leaving them no room at all on their driver's side.
"I have no control over it."
Some folks get really worked up about parking lot stuff. In the end, the other person can park there. Damaging other folks car and calling the driver what you did in your OP (how do you know she is a she?) is pretty out of line. I am a park away and walk person but if someone parks beside me...I mean, it's a parking lot hahahah. What I see is a lot of entitled jerks that think that their car is worth more than everyone else's with these types of posts. Would I have parked beside you? No. So if she (assuming?) walked out you would get in her face about this and call her what you did?
On second thought it is probably a natural exponential function like e^-x.
A few more comments:
There are many people that see a nice car parked way out in the middle of nowhere and do this 100% on purpose to rile up people like the OP b/c...they don't care about your feelings on the matter and think it's funny how upset people get about it.
There are many people that have no idea about the unwritten rules of parking nicer cars like this and have no idea why this would make you upset which is the more likely case here. And if you tried to explain this to them they would think "huh?".
More pictures than you can look at in a reasonable sitting of folks that then park across lines like jerks to avoid this issue which just incites even more folks to park close to them.
You have a nice car. It's possible that people will get near it at times out in public. Take a Xanax.
Reminds me of a row of urinals and leaving space when available.

And you've listed some of the myriad of reasons why people in society have built up hostility and impatience with others. There's literally no reason for the Lexus driver to park as they did, with visibly 6 other spots. So absent a good reason, at best it's thoughtless and oblivious. At worst it's an irrational mental ailment or on purpose to be a jackwad.
All of this, and so much more, inconsiderate selfish behavior is the unraveling of the fabric of our society. We are no longer considerate, polite thoughtful fellow people. We, as a whole, have become totally self-obsessed inconsiderate oblivious jerks who disrespect the wishes of others - at times on purpose.
The other day I was going 75-80mph on the interstate, passing a series of Semi Trucks traveling around 70mph. I was diligently passing, not squatting in the left lane. A car zips up on my ***, 1 car length away. At 75mph. Not only extremely unsafe, but extremely rude. Why do people behave this way?
It's not the end of the world, but it is just one of billions of examples of a very unhealthy mental illness in society. And in the aggregate it's why seemingly everyone is so short and rude in society.

There are two perspectives here...
1) The OP is parked in the very first spot by the stairs, elevator, or door from the garage, and the next person showed up and parked in the next spot. I wouldnt have (I would have parked in an end spot far away), but parking in the next spot is a logical option.
2) The OP parked far away from any elevator, stairs, or door, with the INTENTION of being FAR AWAY to AVOID other cars. If someone parks next to OP then, its a pretty lousy, if not idiotic move. Idiotic because if someone parks next to another car on an assumption of there being an exit nearby, and there isnt, theyre just dumb...
I suspect the situation is #1, but Ive been in situation #2, where I purposely park normally in a far away spot, and some idiot parks next to me despite the fact that there is an entire lot around...
