If you're going to scrape your car own the side of any other vehicle, a jeep would likely be the last thing you wanted to scrape against. They're big, they're angular, and they're covered in edges that are bound to dent your bodywork and peel away paint. To avoid that problem, don't park two feet away from the car on your right-hand side, and therefore intrude on the very place that a jeep wants to park in.
The jeep driver decided that they had just enough remaining space to park their car properly - so long as they got so close to the offending vehicle that they totally blocked off access to the driver's side. The owner of the badly parked car is now going to have to get in the passenger door, shuffle across awkwardly, and they pray they can reverse out without doing themselves any damage.
