The above habit then leads to another kind of Muckwit, the one who, to avoid that problem, parks their car using two spaces. That solves the problem of other cars parking too close but of course also creates yet another problem all of its own!

I've seen lots of this.

Two thoughts:-

1) Make the parking charge payable according to the parking spaces occupied. i.e. you can park using two spaces - if you pay a fee for both.

2) Make the Parking area owner widen the parking slots. I note that, when I go to Costco, the parking spaces are nearly double the normal size!

LOL!

I thought it was a homonym for a much different but probably more appropriate word!

Re: Muckwits!

I have a muckwit who lives opposite me
Even though he has ample space outside his own drive he insists on parking his ginormous 4x4 on the bit of road I have to reverse on to, to get out of my drive.
He has 2 cars and he parks the smallest one on his drive!
Muckwit pea-brained mentality!

I'm sure he does it for attention so I ignore him
But I'm reversing through gritted teeth!

Homonyms are two words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have different meanings.

If anyone uses the first part of the homonym word more than three times in a sentence it's a clear indication that they're emotionally involved in some way.

In our local aar park which is not free, you will receive a fine if your wheels are over onto the next space.
