Narrative:

Running parking checklist. Door 2R showed open and slide armed. Call to flight attendants and confirmed that 2R slide had deployed in error. No emergency had been declared and no evacuate/evacuation ordered. Thankfully; no one on aircraft or ground was injured. This looks like another slide deployment caused by a poor human factors design by airbus.
