I imagine they throw the van into any space they can as they aren't paid enough. I've seen a local Amazon delivery driver running back and forth all day long. It can't be worth doing that.

What’s the logic though? “I’m underpaid so I’ll annoy other people”?

I can think of more effective protests.

"I need this job and they don't give me the logistics to park appropriately, so I do whatever I can, knowing I'm not doing the best societal thing with where I park. I hope I'm not late on rent this month."

"I'm underpaid and have a brutal schedule so I'll take all the shortcuts". Hence their 'dump and run' delivery style. Also the large quantity of piss bottles on the roads to their depots. I can't really be annoyed with the drivers when Amazon's system squeeze every drop of work out of their drivers and warehouse staff. But, ultimately, we're to blame because we want free delivery for all the rubbish 'we' order online.

Pissed off pedestrian matters until they're out of your rear view, pissed off boss could mean losing housing, food security

Probably "I don't get paid enough/have enough time to find a proper parking space, so fuck it this'll do"
