Carpinteria, CA
Kjaere says, “I first noticed this guy was blocking the driveway that I was trying to get out of, then I realized he had just created his own space. That’s not a curb he’s parked next to, the car in front of him had taken the last available curb spot, but this guy has [...]

Adam says, “I think the other tenants in our office complex really appreciate our giant green school bus that is always parked across four spaces. Apparently we’re better at vehicle shipping than vehicle parking. The bus goes with us to UT football games and trade shows and is no doubt poorly parked there as well. [...]
San Diego, CA
From Jeff: “What we have here are seven vehicles parked where there are no marked spaces. Which is inexcusable because there were a huge number of empty marked spaces on the same level of the garage structure that is immediately to the right in this photo.”
Jeff says this is at a mall. I’m [...]

I have nothing against cops whatsoever, just thought [...]
Mission Viejo, CA
Here’s the story from Philip: “I pulled into a parking lot for Ralph’s grocery store only to see this van practically taking up four parking spaces. It was fairly busy and right in front of the store. The driver’s side door is open with the driver lounging with her feet up. I am parked [...]
Escondido, CA
Tim blames this one on the weather: “A little rain in California is often like a class 5 hurricane in Florida—it doesn’t take much. This is a fairly nice lot with lots of room for swinging wide to get into your space well. The guy on the right made it (that’s me!), but the [...]

Tim says, “Sometimes you have to wonder if it is the parking that is bad, or the painting of the parking lot itself! It wasn’t until about the third time I looked at this shot that I noticed this person actually did a pretty good job of parking…if you only look at the right [...]
