71 Times People Saw Such Outrageous Parking, They Had To Share The Pics Online

There’s something about a terribly parked car that is irksome enough to ruin your good vibes. It can be most especially infuriating when the said vehicle takes up two spaces on the one final spot on the lot.

We’ve all been there. Some would mumble curses under their breath. Others may actually leave a not-so-nice note for the driver. But in the age of social media, taking a photo and posting it online would be a common knee-jerk reaction. Here are a few of them.

These snapshots only prove that many people may need to go back to driving school to brush up on their parking skills. Don’t forget to upvote those that annoyed you the most.

Many people find driving stressful. Buffalo State University psychology professor Dr. Dwight Hennessy attributes this stress to why some are aggressive behind the wheel and come off as inconsiderate. That aggression also creates a less harmonious environment on the road, including in parking lots.

In the colder months this guy parks his 5th wheel camper closer in to his house, but as soon as the weather turns nice, he pulls it out until the nose is actually in the street expecting everyone to walk out into the street because he’s blocking sidewalk for his own convenience.
Update: When I reported the issue, I used a web app so my update when I received it the next day looked like this:
PHOTO RECIEVED. SENDING OUT INITIAL WARNING LETTER FOR VIOLATION OF XYZ123 REFERENCE ABC456. FOLLOW UP REQUIRED.
So we have to wait a couple of days for USPS I guess. Boo for delayed gratification:(

“The traffic environment really is full of these everyday stressors that on their own might seem mundane, but they tend to accumulate,” Dr. Hennessy said in an interview with the American Psychological Association. “So the more we do this, the more it piles up, and we just end up with these expectations about what other people are supposed to be doing.”

Those who regularly drive have also dealt with someone who is about to leave the parking spot they are occupying, but is taking their precious time in doing so.

According to Penn State University researcher and professor Barry Ruback, it’s because people tend to get territorial about their space. As he explained, it has something to do with our hunter-gatherer instincts.

"Like our ancestors, we humans still defend territories, but we do so even when they are temporary public areas," Ruback said. “Our research shows that people do become territorial in the face of another driver and become even more territorial when the driver acts very intrusively, such as honking the car,"

When you park like a tool, you make people mad. When you make people mad, they write notes. When they write notes, they're wasting time. When they waste their time, they get more mad.

We got new neighbors that moved in about a month ago, apparently they run some sort of moving business. This trucks been floating around my side of the street for a few weeks and today it was parked blocking my entire driveway. No one was home at the neighbors house to move it either. Luckily I was working from home today and my wife has Mondays off, so we didn't need to go anywhere. It's currently 1030 p.m., and I need to leave the house at 430 a.m. for a site visit. I have no idea what to do if its still there when I'm leaving
