Bad parking jobs

Came across this beauty in a narrow street this morning:




The bus couldn't get through and there was a queue of traffic behind.

Anyone else got examples of terrible parking they've seen?

This isn't an actual picture of what I saw but it illustrates the technique.

The space was on a hill between 2 cars and there was no way the car could fit into it. The woman tried and tried but eventually just left it at 45 degrees.

Then the woman would come back to her car and wonder why on each the rear end has been scraped proceeding to ask all the people if they saw anything, not even caring about her shocking parking!

Both in supermarket car parks. I'm on a personal vendetta to make life for ****ty parkers as awkward as possible. Note that I'm perfectly central in my space on both occasions :biggrin:

I was going to say what if the person was parked stupidly because they forced over the line by someone parking stupidly before them - but that people carrier has no excuse!!

I love it.
You should come and park in a few parking spaces round where i live. Ive seen plenty of drivers that need to be taught a lesson like that.
Check out a 24/7 supermarket late at night. It's like a zombie apocalypse with vehicles abandoned everywhere at all kinds of angles. I even saw someone car park across 3 bays the other week. Just drove up to the bays and thought f it and drove onto the bays and left it.
Oh and another - back when I had the Land Rover I let my friend have a go around a Tesco car park. I asked her to park up and before we got out I asked her how well she thought she did on the parking. She thought she was straight and in the middle of the space. This was the result.

I haven't learned how to drive yet but my Gon-Gon can be bad at parking. One time a couple of years ago, we went to a shopping centre and he parked diagonally in the car park so that his car took up two spaces at once. When we got out, I laughed hard at his parking and regretted not bringing my phone to take a picture of it because it was so bad but funny at the same time. What made it even funnier was that he didn't know why I was laughing and he walked off grumbling in Cantonese. :lol:

My Fa once had someone park badly next to his car. It was so close to his car that he actually had to have a parking attendant (who was laughing a lot) actually signal to him as he tried to get his car out in case he scratched his car up against the other car. My Fa took these pictures because he was so unamused by it, and he's a good driver. (His car is on the right.)

pretty common syndrome in multistorey & underground car parks - people seem to be really scared of going anywhere near the walls and would much rather scrape up against another vehicle.
