The wind blows the Yaris door

Let's say you want to bring something with you (when you leave the car) that is in the back seat. Because of the size of the item, you can't pull it to the front while sitting in the driver's seat. If you aren't in a parking space that allows enough clearance for the door to swing all the way open, it is an issue. I suppose it could be argued that in that scenario, the person should just remove the item via the hatch. However, some of us keep the area behind the back seat and under the package shelf neatly packed with stuff (that one might put in a trunk...given a car that has one). Even if someone doesn't have anything else back there, what if the car is dirty and the person has on light colored clothes? Much easier to avoid any issue in that case by not using the hatch.
