Parking on the street is not meant to be done like that.  You're supposed to park within the box marks. You're not supposed to obstruct the fire hydrants or any...forget it...they won't listen anyway...

I understand getting to the entrance of Wonderland in the morning is a rush.  However, the rushed parking job isn't acceptable.

Today, we revisit this amazing case of a 62-year-old woman who mistook the gas for the brake pedal and crushed a car in the process, and deciding to run away after that little mishap. She is now fined $500 for damages, and banned from driving from 7pm till 7 am.

While hanging out at Sally Horstfall Eaton Centre, two of the blog's followers found an apartment building where people decide that parking wrong collectively, is ok.

Caught outside the Sally Horstfall Eaton building. The examiner must have skipped the parallel parking portion of the driving test. Otherwise, this person would have failed.

The problem with modern cars is that they keep getting taller and taller, thus the need for parking sensors, and back up cameras. Perhaps that's the excuse of this driver when people ask how he managed to park like that.

How badly can you park a Mini Cooper? Apparently, some people are just that bad at it. With that, this is the first in a new segment called "How badly can you park a Mini Cooper?"

The following is taken at East Beaver Creek, in front of Dragon Boat Fusion Cuisine, a popular place for Dim-Sum.

The first here is our Mini Cooper picture.

Welcome!

The simple act of parking a car says a lot about the driver. Sometimes, it's understandable that people can't see the parking lines or that the parking space is occupied by a snow mountain left behind by an inconsiderate snow removal company.

However, what I will start blogging about from now on, is the ridiculous driver. The one who decides to park as if there were no lines; the one who parks as if no other cars needed to park on either side of them.

I start off by saying this : I'm not an expert driver. I admit to doing some horrible parking jobs before, after all, no one is perfect. Therefore, I do not want to see any comments telling me that I couldn't have done any better, or that I'm being cruel for putting up this blog. Any of those comments, will be deleted.

Aside from all that, welcome to my blog. Laugh at this site and be merry. If you are the unlucky owner of the car I posted up here, learn your mistake, cause if you don't, your car will be posted up here again. I also would like to extend an invitation to anyone who comes across any failed parking jobs that you find hilarious or interesting, to take a photo or video and send them in for sharing. Remember, upon sending of photos, to censor out any visible license plates and faces!
