Bad Parking Appreciation Thread

[Pyrate81]

Good thread. I'll have to take some pics of my park jobs, I can't pull into parking spot without being slanted in some way.



I believe parking like this actually is legal(state and county regulations permitting I'm sure). That area of road looks like a cul de sac type or "recessed" housing/road whatever you wanna call it. In Bucks County, Pa I see this regularly without people getting infractions.

Heres the pics I promised.

LMAO!!!!



As a consolation though people on either side of me can at least get in and out of their cars comfortably with my park jobs.

Saw this gem while at the grocery store picking up water for the humidifier this morning:

Knowing that A. you live in my area and B. I drive a very similar make/model/color...I got very worried when I saw this picture. Thankfully, it is not my car xD

Not the best pic but I hate when people park like this! They always do in front of the petco by me he's parked in the road on the side of the grass area I took the pic is the parking lot. For some reason people are so special they can park in the road instead of walking an extra five feet maybe ten

Ahhhh, this one ticks me off too!!! I used to live in San Francisco, where it was the norm to walk BLOCKS to your destination (due to lack of close parking). Then I moved to the suburban south bay, where people think walking two extra feet is like "ohmygod sooooo far; I'll just park at the curb instead." So friggin' lazy - or entitled - or both??

Here's one shot I snapped of this phenomenon... and note all the empty spots around them, plus there were a few more behind/beside me. Unless you're disabled and the handicap spaces are full, there is no excuse for this.

Haha those type of people annoy me. I always hope their cars will get hit bu someone, just to show them why that area isn't a parking spot.

And here's a pic from when I lived in SF, of something that was very common (parking in a clearly-marked NO PARKING zone). As I said, parking is very limited there! Not sure if this is bad parking, so much as risky parking. Those meter maids/men don't mess around, either - as I know from the multiple parking tickets & two towings I received during my time there. :o

I am a mechanic for a local trucking company. No one parks worse then truck drivers. I wish I had pictures but the last serious parking issue I was called to was a water truck in a pond. All that was left above water was the lights on top of the cab and the stacks. He "forgot" it was in reverse.

I know, right? It's particularly annoying in this lot, since the turn out of that row is really tight. Oh, and notice the GIANT truck and (slightly smaller) SUV parked in those compact spots next to them? Also annoying, but less so than the curb parkers.
