We all are familiar with the frustrations that might accompany us on our daily commute. Even when you\u2019ve arrived at your destination and are ready to park, the \u201cfun\u201d doesn\u2019t necessarily stop. It\u2019s time to take a deep dive into the world of people who have done some horrible parking jobs. From people who felt the need to hog several spaces, to people who were just in a hurry, to those parking jobs that really leave us scratching our heads. There are all sorts of wacky and selfish parkers out there. However, there are some bold citizens out there who are taking these folks under their wing, one by one, making sure that they\u2019ve learned a lesson. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the worst parking jobs of all time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Park Job Worthy Of An Award<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This driver has carelessly taken up more than their dedicated space, which is one of the most irritating habits a driver can have. Apparently, this driver thinks that their car is important enough to take up double the amount of space they actually need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bad parker has won themselves an unofficial award! The person who made it (and rightly so!) said that the driver feels like they are entitled to two parking spaces. One highlight, though, would be the fact that this driver has managed to park in a perfectly straight line. Bravo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Signed, Sealed, And Wrapped In Plastic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When an important package is sent via mail, it often comes wrapped in a heavy layer of protective plastic wrap. From the looks of this photo, it seems like there was some extra plastic floating around, and it was put to good use to teach this driver a lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the driver may have thought that parking in two spots was a good idea, that must have changed as soon as they discovered their vehicle covered in plastic wrap. Imagine how tough it must have been to unwrap.\u00a0We guess his Christmas gift came early!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Princess Parking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although it\u2019s called a parking lot, drivers can\u2019t just park their vehicles wherever they want to. This driver, however, has opted to take full advantage of the striped curb that is clearly not a parking space, claiming it as their very own special spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

A bystander clearly disapproves, taking a creative measure to dethrone the person who thought to magically turn the spot into VIP parking. This parking spot princess will likely think twice before creating a new spot in the future. Does she want a crown to go with that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hatchet Holder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generally, the term \u201cbury the hatchet\u201d is a figure of speech that essentially means to forgive and forget. And then, of course, some people decide to turn idioms into something far more tangible \u2014 not to mention unforgettable.\u00a0Folks, maybe don\u2019t try this at home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

It seems that this driver has done something to anger someone who either had access to a dozen hatchets or a large group of hatchet-wielding friends. Either way, this vehicle has seen better days and is sure to have sustained some cosmetic damage. The driver is undoubtedly in for a shock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Boot (Or Two?)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton once said, \u201cFor each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.\u201d Though this famous quote was said hundreds of years ago and definitely not in relation to parking, the theory certainly stands true in parking lots today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

The owner of this vehicle has very quickly learned that their actions have consequences. They set themselves up for this reaction by pulling into four parking spaces. The public decided to strike back with those nasty boots on the tires. They won\u2019t be going anywhere anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Only One Warning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to blocking people in, there are a few things you could do with your car that could inconvenience another person more. It\u2019s a wildly selfish thing to do. This person has clearly had someone block them in one too many times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

This is the frustrated driver\u2019s warning to whoever blocked them in. By the looks of this letter, this particular driver has a continued talent for blocking this person in, and they\u2019ve had enough. This time, it\u2019s a friendly, passive-aggressive note. Next time? It\u2019s going to be the monster truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In Case Of Fire, Do Not Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Part of getting your license is coming to terms with the understanding that fire hydrants are to be left free and clear \u2014 even if they provide a convenient place to park. Not only is parking in front of a fire hydrant illegal, but it\u2019s also a safety concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

This driver has very quickly been made to learn precisely why this rule is in place. Their windshield has been busted through to provide firefighters with access to the fire hydrant connection. Hopefully, they\u2019ve taken a valuable lesson from this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Messy Lesson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taking up two spots is bad enough, but this driver has somehow been talented enough to manage to take up four if not five spots! This is an excellent example of someone who needs some practice parking. What did they think all those white lines in the parking lot are for exactly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

But don\u2019t worry \u2014 this driver is unlikely to become a repeat offender after the way that their park job was dealt with. Someone (who was obviously very unimpressed) has made a huge mess on this vehicle in an attempt to teach its driver a quick lesson about parking lot etiquette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Chained Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Small cars can indeed have their own set of advantages. The owner of this tiny car was probably hoping to sneak into this parking spot without trouble. After all, the car is small enough that it shouldn\u2019t be a problem, right? Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

As it turns out, taking up this spot was a terrible idea. The driver now has to figure out how to undo the chains that have been carefully threaded through the car\u2019s wheels. Without the right tools, the task is going to be nearly impossible, and the driver will be stuck in place for longer than intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Famously Bad Parking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before the days of social media, this driver probably would have gotten away with this terrible parking job with nothing more than a few disapproving glances of passersby. In today\u2019s world, however, this parking job is worthy of digital fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Someone who walked by just happened to take things into their own hands and spent the time to type, print, and post this shaming note on the car for the world to see. Congrats to the driver: they\u2019ve achieved online infamy as a crummy parker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Over The Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The genius who parked in this spot missed the yellow dividing line by a mile. Like any respectful road user, they could have got out and checked where the line was before repositioning their vehicle. But instead, they decided to just let it be, and so, this happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Another road user witnessed this park job and deemed it a teachable moment. So, to help the driver find the line next time, the other driver taped the line right onto the vehicle. This way, the driver will never be able to use this excuse again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Trash Talking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To all the car owners out there, may we take this opportunity to gently remind you that signs that are posted along the street are there for a reason. In this instance, a driver has chosen to blatantly ignore the signs telling them not to park there.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

After the dumpsters were moved to block in this driver\u2019s car, though, we\u2019re pretty sure that the message will be clear from now on. This unlucky driver\u2019s vehicle is going to be smelly for the foreseeable future and to make matters even worse, they\u2019ll have to move those grody dumpsters before they can go anywhere. Yuck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Friendly Reminder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While practicing poor parking skills isn\u2019t going to destroy the planet or kill off humankind, it is highly annoying, and it\u2019s a particularly common pet peeve, not to mention a very understandable one. Whether you\u2019re a fan of Spiderman or not, you\u2019re bound to be impressed by this person\u2019s friendly parking reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

From the note (is it written on toilet paper?), it\u2019s clear what injustice has been done, and that said, injustice has had a negative impact on someone else\u2019s day. Although receiving this note probably isn\u2019t the day\u2019s highlight, we\u2019d be glad that it\u2019s so friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Even A Little Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for small cars to squeeze into itty-bitty parking spots. In parking lots, this isn\u2019t usually a serious offense. But when it comes to clearly marked spots with fairly straightforward reasons for a no-parking rule? It\u2019s best to comply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

This driver didn\u2019t feel that it was necessary to follow directions and has squeezed his tiny car into a space that, well, isn\u2019t even a space. Upon returning to his car, he\u2019ll find that his car has been built into a wooden box. Good luck getting that out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Work Of Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When someone parks like they\u2019ve never driven before, they won\u2019t usually have to face any consequences. If they do, those consequences will likely come in the form of a parking ticket or a strongly worded note on their windshield, but nothing that will keep them up at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

This, however, is something that just might make them lose sleep. This unfortunate driver has had their vehicle turned into a work of red and yellow art because of how they parked. What a nightmare this will be to clean up!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Detailed Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever been faced with an improperly parked vehicle as you\u2019re searching for your own parking spot and not finding one, you know how enraging it can be. It can be so upsetting, in fact, that you wish you could tell the driver how to park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Well, as it turns out, you can! You could be like this driver, instructing the mind behind this poorly planned-out park job how to park and what markers to use to land the spot. After all, there\u2019s nothing like a bit of friendly guidance, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
