ULPT Request: How to deal with a guy who parks super close to my car?

So I live in an apartment building with assigned parking spots separated by painted lines. My neighbor has a wall on one side of his spot, and apparently he’s terrified that people walking by might scratch his car.

His solution? He parks halfway over the line into my spot every single day.

Not a little bit over either — enough that I have to squeeze sideways to get into my own car like I’m escaping a hostage situation. Some days I literally can’t open my driver door properly.

I tried talking to him like a normal human being. He basically shrugged and said he’d rather inconvenience me than risk someone brushing against his car near the wall.

Management doesn’t care because “both cars technically fit.”

So now I’m looking for creative solutions that might encourage him to rediscover the concept of parking between the lines.
