It's rather amusing that everyone assumes the driver of the Focus must be a female. With the suggestions of leaving notes with gift cards or flowers, I'd love to see the reaction if the Focus driver ended up being a dude.

I'm surprised this hasn't come up
post a picture of how close the other car is..

my office building has a parking lot across, and the spots are so tight that we basically stick the passenger doors to each other.
so if she parks nose first, back up into the spot, if she backs up, park nose first
you'll have plenty of space to get in/out of your car and your gf can wait until you leave the spot to get in..
problem solved

I had this same problem... I went straight to management. And eventually just got my spot moved to a much better one. Now I park next to a nice new Mercedes in a much bigger spot

This is brilliant! :-D

Take a series of pictures over several days to illustrate the problem, then use image analysis software to measure the distance between your cars on each day and superimpose it onto the image. Then photoshop onto each image your passenger side door open with your gf getting out with a measurement of the space required to do it comfortably. Compile it into a dossier, put it into an unmarked brown envelope with a handwritten note saying 'Get it?' and Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt.

Simples.

Or just, you know, reverse the car out first then let your gf in...
