See the animals

Pittsburgh, PA
William took this at the Pittsburgh Zoo where the parking lot was only about half full. I guess when that’s the case, why not take up two spots to yourself!

On the grass

David says people always have a hard time parking on this street, but that this is a particularly excellent example of bad parking. I think we can all agree.

Parking meters are confusing

Brooklyn, NY 
Says Sheryl: “I saw this example of bad parking last night when I got off the subway. You can see the parking meter is at the middle of the passenger door. This was the spot closest to the corner. I noted the car behind it was parked appropriately (so no reason it should be [...]

Just can’t get it right

Modesto, CA
All Laura has to say is, “Honestly, it is everywhere around these parts so perhaps I should keep my camera with me.” Please do!

We’ve got mail

New Year’s Eve

Kensingtion (San Diego),  CA
On a walk around the neighborhood with his dog, Tim  came across yet more poor parking examples. In the first, Tim explains that the truck’s back end is two feet from the curb and hanging into the driveway. “I’m thinking this guy started to celebrate early and came home.”
As for the second, [...]

Cart parking

West Deptford, NJ
Technically this isn’t bad parking, but because it is a personal pet peeve of mine and it takes place in a parking lot, I’m including it. Anthony sarcastically says, “Not enough time to walk those shopping carts to the bin, so just leave them in a parking space, inconveniencing shoppers on a busy, rainy Sunday afternoon. [...]
