Was here when I walked in, got two milkshakes and walked out, still there.
Must have been in the bathroom, must have had to park in a hurry.

Its funny, because this was the situation I was presented with just the other day, but here's the kicker. It was the parking lot at my office and there is a super wide spot between two vehicles (which could only be created if one of them was parking way over a line, thus creating a spot that was 1.5 spaces at least). I know one of them is parking like an asshole, but admittedly, the parking lines are pretty faded in some spots and could really use a touch up. I initially square up against the white car, but it doesn't feel right to me, and I think I can see a very faint line in the camera which I'm way over if so. So instead, I reposition and square up with the truck on my left which was fine, I'm checking, I'm in the lines, all is good. Wasn't going to be that person, and sure enough, white car had made precisely zero attempts to park within the lines. White car had pretty much centered the car over one of the lines creating a very generous sized spot.

Walked away and came back out an hour or two later and lo and behold, white car repositioned itself within the lines a few feet to the right - I'm 90% positive it was the same white car. Had I left my truck squared up against the white car, I would have been the one left looking like an asshole.

Alternatively (assuming I'm right about it being the same white car), I suppose its possible, someone else did the same thing to the white car forcing him to park that way but had left by the time I got there, and white car felt bad and went out and moved it when he saw he had space to move to. Could have been a chain reaction caused by an original asshole long since departed to share his gift with others.
