Renée took this last summer in a grocery store parking lot. I’m telling ya, it’s the five for $1.00 cans of beef-a-roni. Does it every time.

Over it

All you had to do was line it up with the curb. What happened?

Don’t back in

It helps to look at the back of the car. Notice where the painted line is? How many times do I have to say it… this is what happens when you BACK IN! It’s not worth it people.

140 degrees

It helps if you drive the correct direction down the the parking lot lanes. That way you don’t have to make a 140 degree turn. They’re designed that way for a reason.

At the movies

This one is pretty dark, but the key is to look at the back driver-side tire. It’s on the curb. This guy didn’t even kind of fit in that spot!

This is at a movie theatre, so I’m thinking he was late for the Ironman premier.

You could fit a bus in there

Location Unknown

Michael says, “I was at our local grocery store when I came across this lovely parked car. As you can see, he had plenty of room around him….plenty!”

Which spot was he aiming for?

This is just pathetic and lame. There’s not much else to say.

Not parallel parked

Oregon

Fingel took this just outside Southern Oregon University. He says, “If you can’t parallel park, or even keep off the curb for that matter, what are you doing in college?”

I love this one. It’s so obviously a poor attempt at parallel parking. Actually it’s not even an attempt, but more like, “Well I can’t fit there, that’s for sure. Oh well! Here I go anyway.”

Not to be bothered

California

Tim can’t remember where exactly he was when he took this, but says, “This guy is just too important to be bothered with backing up and pulling into the space correctly. Or maybe he just doesn’t care. I’m betting on the latter.”

I agree.

Can’t wedge in

Hagerstown, MD

David says, “We witnessed no less than four cars (including ourselves) attempt to park behind this behemoth before realizing there was no sense in compounding the bad parking situation.”

He adds, “My original title was going to be ‘Four-Square anyone?’, but the compact to the right found a way to wedge himself in, so I decided against it.”
