Uh how do you know that cars parked before you arrived were parked by a woman

If I've parked crooked it is because the car(s) next to me did. This town is full of crap parkers. It is infuriating.

I stink at parking.

For future reference, how much angular error is acceptable?

One of the reasons I do it is when the connecting space on the row behind me is not lined up with my space. I can’t see the lines I’m parking between, but I can see those. So when they’re not even, I can mess up. Also, if the lane is narrow, there often isn’t really a good turn radius to go in straight.

I do, however, go back and straighten out the car if I get out and see that I am on or over the lines.

I park terribly if there are no cars on either side. I use the other cars as a guide.

I will generally fix if I realize it before I get out of the car. If I get out and realize it's crooked, it might depend on how long I plan on being there. If I'm just going in somewhere for a minute, I might just leave it because I'll be in and out in the time it takes to fix.

Also, some parking garages are very hard to park in and I've left my car slightly crooked if the spot is weird with like an unfortunately placed pillar or a really challenging angle based on the width of the lane and spot.

Also also, sometimes I park crooked because it's the only way to get my car beside someone else who has parked crooked. Maybe then the other car leaves and you see my car. But it's just ripple effect. I have a small car and it's fairly easy to park, but sometimes I"m parking next to some giant vehicle that is askew in their spot and the only way to fit my car in is to angle my car a bit.

Usually only due to other roadway factors - parking spot is over a speed bump and I don’t want to scrape my car up, parking on a curved street, or spot is really small and there is a lot of traffic I don’t want to get in the way of to correct it.

Then drive a smaller car! It doesn't fit in the city and it's terrible for the environment

How do you know this person lives in the city?
