The BAD PARKING thread

[pacman06]

DUMB IDIOT women attempting to park a smart car in space the size of a football field..

Not a picture and could be a repost so sorry! but is funny as hell.. it's a wonder how she remembers to breath whilst asleep..

Not exactly bad parking, just parking without a permit on private land:



This was at Hull Marina on Sunday. Rather than pay the removal fee, the driver decided to try and remove the wishbones etc, to remove the clamp while still locked. The clamper's van is blocking his exit. The Cayenne behind the Bentley was also clamped.

I don't know if he managed to remove it, but he was there for at least an hour and showed no signs of giving up

The braver recovery man would just stick a trolley jack on the front - lift and run

Reality - a crane is really required just to lift the car back into the part of the world non-retarded people drive in.

N.Wales whilst having a random walk round. He left about 2.5 feet of road between his car and the kerb.

What worries me seeing people park like that, is I wonder where in the road they actually drive.......

At the Tescos near to where I work.It was 8 AM,and the car park was fairly empty,but come on...

To be fair, the space to the left is dead space, and its a long van so likely about as par in as possible without taking up 2 spaces.

I did once park diagonally across 2 spaces in my van but it was so that my van was not hanging out of the space into the main roadway by 4ft because the parking spaces were so damn short!

Was that allowed?

Looked out my bedroom window to see this yesterday. It was there for a good two hours.

I know that parking is shocking.

I mean ffs a Fiat Stilo isn't that big. Why did they need to hang it off the end of the concrete border of their drive?

Is that a nice wide pavement or are there no pavements?

I witnessed a case of retardation like this a few weeks back except that the road was narrower (it was in town), the car was positioned even further away from the side of the road and the drivers door was left half open. I spotted the mentally challenged dolt crossing back from the other side of the street as I was going around his abandoned vehicle.

It looked like he'd been driving along, decided to call on someone who lived on the other side of the road and simply stopped his car exactly where it was when the thought popped into his tiny, 2-braincell 'mind' and got out to knock on their door.

Can you not find somewhere better than a footpath down the road from your dealership to take pictures of a car you have for sale?

I saw someone from the local BMW dealership doing similar. No drop pavement so just ramped it up the kerb!

Double yellow and a corner, with lots of empty spaces (there were lots spaces when I arrived and when I left 10 mins later)

I suspect the owner of that is called Pippa, but could she (or whoever bought it) really not see the rude(ish) word?

Maybe it should have been P15POR, in reference to the driving skill.

Ok so it's a setup, but I like this idea
