When he was at Yahoo, he was considered a bit of dick by the way he parked his shiny BMW M5; he would take two spots, and then argue with people who complained. Parking at Yahoo's Sunnyvale campus is a bit tight, so seeing him park like that rubbed people the wrong way; and despite being called out on it, his attitude was "so, what are you gonna do about it? I'll park as I see fit".
Go to Flickr and look up "ycantpark" tag from those days.
Makes him sympathetic to me. Arguing with "but you can't park over the line" people is always entertaining. Its some form of real life trolling. Almost like walking across red lights and smiling at the faces on the other side of the road.

Yes I love doing troll things too like playing music really loud at 4am, blocking my neighbor's driveway and blocking the stairs when my elderly neighbor comes back from grocery shopping. So entertaining.
