Parking a car is no easy feat, no matter how smoothly some people seem to glide into a parking space just as you're about to pull in.
Even non-drivers know that parallel parking is notoriously difficult, particularly when there's a stream of cars waiting to pass while you faff around trying to squeeze into a roadside parking space.
Who hasn't completely butchered it at least once in their lives?

But some drivers take parking blunders to ridiculous levels, seemingly oblivious to lines painted on the ground or other vehicles on the road.
Terrible parkers can cause serious problems for other drivers and for pedestrians, blocking access for wheelchair users and hogging the sparse parking spaces around supermarkets and hospitals.
Parking offences, such as parking in a dangerous position, can land you a fine of up to £90.
In an effort to expose some of the most flagrant cases of bad parking, Parking Like A Tw*t UK compile some of the worst examples from across the country.
Here are some of the most appalling cases of car parking from Merseyside.
"Funny kind of parking space"
Parking space or zebra crossing? Who knows? Who cares?
Well, the pedestrians trying to safely cross the road in the Walton Asda carpark might.
Small car in a big car park
It must be hard being a small car with big dreams, but that doesn't mean you can take up all the space available?
Although, to be fair the driver of the little blue car, no one in this picture is parked perfectly within the lines outside Aintree Asda.
Maybe a refresher course is in order?
"Why have one space when you can park in two?"
Sometimes seconds can be taken as a compliment.
You want a second helping of a meal your friend cooked for you? Lovely. They'll be flattered you enjoy their cooking.
But help yourself to a second car parking space after you've already pinched one? Well, that's just greedy, as this car in Bromborough, Wirral shows.
That's not a parking space
Look, maybe there's an honest explanation for this abomination outside JD Sports at Liverpool Shopping Park off Edge Lane.
Maybe they couldn't decide which designated parking spot to choose.
Maybe the shop was about to close and they desperately needed a new pair of trainers.
Or maybe the sale was five minutes from ending.
Only an emergency could justify this mess.
"Try not to scuff them alloys"
The dreaded parallel parking got the better of this motorist.
What a pavement hog
"What a joke", except it really isn't.
Cars, vans and lorries parking on narrow pavements blocks wheelchair users, people using walking sticks and people pushing prams from using footpaths.
It also forces parents with kids to venture into the road, with their vision blocked by a lorry, to get to the next part of the path
Mine, mine, mine
Upon seeing this travesty, one person remarked: "Hardly any spaces on a Sunday afternoon. BMW driver parks however he/she wants!"
It's just a 'Little Asda' though, so hopefully it's a similarly small shop and they won't be hogging these spots for hours on end.
No room for wheelchairs
This wheelchair user had to move onto the road to get around this car parked on the pavement.
Skilled evasion
It's frustrating when you're running to the shops and you spend longer looking for a parking spot than you would in the store because all the roadside spaces are taken.
But do you really have to park everywhere and anywhere?
One person said: "That's one way to not park on double yellows I guess."
Clatterbridge
This case of car chaos can only leave you staring in awe, wondering what this driver was thinking when they pulled up and parked on a wheelchair-accessible ramp outside a hospital.
Did they mistake the pedestrian path for a parking space?
Whatever they were trying to do, their botched attempt left one person gobsmacked.
They said: "Hard to believe this is a hospital where a dropped kerb like this is vital to wheelchair users"
