What you’re up against

 
Houston, Texas
In case you can’t tell what’s going on here, the light-colored van is parked directly behind another vehicle. In an empty parking garage. According to the photographer, this was taken at 2 a.m., so my guess is that the garage was not empty earlier in the night when the parking took place.
I hope the [...]

Damage is done?

 
South Elgin, IL
Tuesday found this ridiculous example of bad parking at the Red Robin where she works. She and her friend left a pretty nasty note which I won’t repeat for fear of delicate ears, but it did include the statement, “I did some damage to your car. Find it.” She claims they didn’t really [...]

Pull an all-nighter

 

Detroit, MI
Brad found this car parked this way outside of a hotel. The lot was full, but apparently this guy needed two spots anyway. Brad says the car lights aren’t on, it’s just the camera flash, so it’s pretty clear this car was settled in for the night.
I guess the driver thought the car needed [...]

Leave a note

 
Irvine, CA
With permission, I took this photo from LanBui.com. Here’s the story:

Still running

Grand Rapids, MI
At first glance this doesn’t appear to be bad parking. Until you hear the story.
“This guy left his unattended car RUNNING in the parking lot for 20+ minutes while he went in and did his shopping. I know this because I passed by it on my way in to shop myself, and he was [...]

Do it with flair

 
San Diego, CA 
Jeff calls this a “fine example of bad street parking,” and asks, “They couldn’t get just a little closer to the curb?”
Maybe we should cut the driver a little slack since they parked this RV with such flair.

Passive aggressive

Bellevue, WA
Strawberry78 even made us a visual guide to tell her story! 
“My dad is disabled, and we would have liked to park in the spot on the right of the picture as it has room for a wheelchair ramp. However, this soccer mom [editor's note: we have no proof she is in fact a soccer mom] decided [...]

On the curb

 
Chantilly, VA
Karin’s three year old son pointed out that this car was on the grass. It’s kind of hard to tell, but that tire is definitely on the curb. Good eye boy!

To the right

Jackson, TN
This is your classic case of not comprehending the lines. Must be a Jeep thing that we wouldn’t understand. Sorry, had to. Tracie says she “finally spotted a bad parking job to submit” to this site. I’m glad you’re all out there looking!
