I've found that it's also an asshole magnet when it comes to parking anywhere, and when cruising-along a highway at-speed.
We would be giving too much credence to people's intelligence capability by thinking most of them intentionally drive out there to piss off anyone. I tend to believe that most North American drivers suffer from an affliction called "don't have a clue." This scenario means they see a flashy shiny object parked somewhere in the back of the parking lot and just gravitate over to it (versus a trash can or a light pole).
These are the same idiots that do "echo driving" [my term] on the freeway next to you. Scenario: - you're driving along in the right lane at 65 mph in a 60 zone.
- you catch up to a car in the right lane driving 60.
- you signal a lane change, get over to the left, and begin to overtake.
- the car speeds up to 65 mph when you're beside it.
- you speed up to 70 mph.
- the car speeds up to 70 mph.
- you speed up to 73 mph....and then see a police car going the other way.
- slow to 65, don't get a ticket, and throw a
 evil look at that car.... which is now beside you again.

"echo driving"... love it!
I also feel like my car has honey on it. No matter how much I try to isolate it, and therefore reduce my chances for door dings, I always find some jackass parked next to me. Usually a lowered 97' integra with fluorescent paint on the wheels or similar...
