If you approached me out of the blue, I’d probably tell you to piss off too.
You wouldn't take it as useful knowledge to avoid a ticket in the future? This is why I have little sympathy for people who get tickets--frankly, they get so many second chances.
It isn't signed, nor marked, but if one looked around at it, it should be pretty apparent what it's purpose is. But they don't, they simply park there, because hey, of course it must be parking. Certainly it doesn't help when there are already cars parked there, but when people are telling them, and they're reacting this way....
Honestly, when people told me that the bus stop I was waiting at was closed, I wasn't angry or swearing at them, I said, "thank you", and moved on.
Problem is, I wouldn't have taken it that way. Your example of the bus stop is very different: "did you know" vs. "thou shalt not". People see those kinds of things very differently, especially coming from a random stranger that they don't know.
As for the signage, it needs to be put in place ASAP. It is not readily apparent what that space is to be used for (and this is coming from an avid cyclist remember!), so i'm willing to bet the general public would be equally as clueless. The zillion cars parking in the space definitely doesn't help the matter.
