Minneapolis, MN
Glanzer says, “I was parking in front of my apartment last night when I noticed the car two spots up from me was parked a good seven or eight feet from the curb, clearly almost a car’s length further out into the street than the car behind it. I think it looked worse in person than the picture indicates, but clearly any car coming down Colfax Ave. last night would have needed to drive well into the middle of the road to get around it.”
Here’s a tip for dealing with bad parkers from xkcd.com:

Columbia, MO
Steph took this of her roommate’s car, and says, “Our parking lot is usually full (when it’s not the Thursday before Spring Break), so this kind of parking job would be considered a big no-no. Her car is tiny so why does she need two parking spaces?!”
Somewhere in WI
Sharon says, “I am sooooooooo embarrassed to tell you that this was my HUSBAND’S parking job! He dropped me off outside a store, then went to park. When we walked to the truck after shopping I was mortified. The truck was barely half-way into the space!! He swears there must have been a car that overparked in front of him. I think he must have gone temporarily blind. But I had to snap a couple of pictures before we drove away.”
Houston, TX
Lauren says, “This was found in a Walgreens parking lot. A legitimate vehicle, but illegitimate parking!”
Bethel Park, PA
Jennifer says, “Here’s a set of 2 cars that park poorly every work day. See how they are on the stripes? They park there at the end of the row in a triangle of ‘no parking’ stripes. As you see in the background, there is plenty of space for them to be normal. This is at a church.”
Copperas Cove, TX
Jean says, “As short as this SUV is, it will fit. He/she is just a rude bonehead. Wal-Mart parking lot, of course. I am going to start paying more attention to the fact that I as long as I have my phone, I have a camera. Our Wal-Mart parking lot is always good for these.”
Tip from Jean: try your local Wal-Mart for bad parking photos!
Miami, FL
Natalie took this by a house on my way home. She says, “I love how the green car blocks the car in the garage. As I was taking the picture, he moved the car – I could not control my laughter. I think he thought I was going to call the towing company. (Apparently, he does this ALL the time!)”
Miami, FL
Natalie says, “As I left work, I spotted this black car. I LOVED IT! I started laughing hysterically. I guess this jerk couldn’t tell that it was not a parking spot.”
Or he just didn’t care…
Newarthill, near Glasgow, Scotland
Kev says, “This is a car that was ‘parked’ outside my local shop in Newarthill. A woman returned to collect it a short time later. She had to get a taxi from the kerb to her car.”
