Bad bad Buick

Houston, TX
Lauren says, “This is what I get to come home to every day.  There is a really wide space to the left of the Buick, but it’s that way because a sidewalk begins from it (and there are still lines painted…).  Also, I believe the car to the right of the Saturn in the [...]

Christine says, “My husband and I ate at Federal Jack’s Brewpub. When we left, there was this jerk parked like this next to our car (the tan car with the spoiler parked to the right of the jerk is ours).

I can only imagine the Honda parked first and the Mazda parked second.. but why? Their bumpers were literally touching, but [...]

Spousal parking

Union, MO
Michelle says, “These photos were snapped by me on my phone of my husband’s parking job, just before we were leaving school.  This is how he parks every single day that we work out at school.  This bank of parking spaces is right on the school’s driveway.  The lines used to be angled, but [...]

Dinnertime

Ames, IA
Shinde says, “Here’s a bad parking job I spotted. I’m undecided as to whether this guy really needed his $5 footlong or was just dying for the dinner special at the buffet to care about how he parked.”
