Let me just stop in front of you

All of these vehicles are blocking a portion of the regular vehicle lane (in addition to the bike lane usually).
Looking back at the white car with flashers, maybe they were just really really bad at parking and also couldn't pull into the space in front of them for some reason, and didn't use their reverse lights / blinker to make it obvious they were trying to park?

Most of them were indicating for ages.

No signalling either, which was poor.

I just go around on the left. Much quicker, but less entertaining.
