Nothing would surprise me given the way some people taxi aircraft.

In Singapore one night, I was starting up, with my nose gear on the lead in line to the bay on my right. Asiana wanted to go there, so instead of waiting, they taxied between us and the aircraft parked on the next bay. I'd never before seen a 767 wingtip up so close.

How he missed us, the aircraft on the next bay, the aerobridges, and all the other stuff around the bay, I'll never know. He ended up with his cockpit at about the right stop position, but the aircraft about 30º off the guidance line. Some words were said on Singapore ground that probably hadn't been heard there before.
