Bad parking jobs. We’ve all seen them, we’ve all done them (apparently double parking isn’t really accepted anywhere but NYC, who knew?), and we all get extremely annoyed when bad parking inconveniences us. Ridiculing bad parking jobs has become something of a cultural\u00a0movement; there are even several blogs and websites that collect pictures of terrible parking. We at MyParkingSign have found some of our favorite bad parking jobs and assembled them here for your amusement . . . and indignation.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0The block-the-street<\/h4>\n
\"Keene<\/a>

Way to set an example, Officer. Image via Free Keene<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

Now, the reason we parallel park so carefully is so our car mirrors don\u2019t get hit\u2014cars can drive by, and no one gets hurt. Clearly, this officer doesn’t mind, as indicated by his parking job. I\u2019d like to test that out.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Failure to notice the bright\u2014no, glaring\u2014white lines<\/h4>\n
\"Jeep<\/a>

An example of unwanted car courtship. Image via Bad Parking<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

Whether the poor, squished car is enjoying the jeep’s attention is unknown, but I\u2019m sure the owner<\/em> of the white car is not happy. Jeep driver, are you not ashamed? When I fail to park perfectly on the first try, I drive in and out over and over until I\u2019m properly between the lines. But this isn’t half as bad as it would be if the white car had been facing the other way.<\/p>\n

3. The desperate squeeze<\/h4>\n
\"Smart<\/a>

The tiny car that couldn’t fit in. Image via Wanky Parker<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ve all frantically tried to fit into a tight parking spot and, usually, given up, envying those with the smaller cars. Apparently though, they have the same issue. (How did those little wheels get on the curb in the first place)? I commend this individual for pushing the tiny car limits, and, against all odds, parking.<\/p>\n

4. The slap in the face<\/h4>\n
\"Smart<\/a>

How to best utilize a smart car. Image via HappyPlace<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

This driver is definitely laughing maniacally inside that car. This, dear readers, is what we call trolling.<\/p>\n

5. The despicable parker<\/h4>\n
\"bad<\/a>

Oh, are those accessible parking spots too? Image via TheLincolnite<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

This driver had better have a parking permit, because if not, I bite my thumb at you sir.<\/p>\n

Have you seen parking jobs that have made you want to rage against the parking gods? Email a picture to ruth[at]smartsign[dot]com and we’ll feature it on the blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
