Disclaimer: This post is gonna sound slightly hypocritical considering I recently crashed into a building while “parking” but let’s put that aside, shall we? Oh, you forgot about that? Damn, why do I keep bringing it up? Moving on…
Why aren’t we taught how to properly park? Better yet, why aren’t we taught how to fucking drive? I don’t know about other states, but in New Jersey, the road test (to get your license) consists of parallel parking, executing a k-turn, and driving in reverse. Parallel parking has got to be everyone’s worst nightmare. I’m still surprised I passed, trembling hands and all. Know how often I’ve parallel parked since then? Let me do a little math in my head, um, hmm, oh wait…NEVER! Executing a k-turn? Much easier than the parallel thing but equally as unimportant. Driving in reverse? Wtf? I’m sorry, I prefer driving going FORWARD. (I know we need to reverse out of parking spaces, but you don’t often have to DRIVE in reverse…in a STRAIGHT line.) So, you do those three things and you’re granted a license. WOO HOO! Thank you MVC of NJ, you may now kindly take responsibility for all car accidents. Sheesh, I wonder why there are so many of them…
I could probably ramble on forever about bad drivers. We all deal with them on a daily basis. (Actually, now that I’m home every day, I don’t deal with them, but whatever.) People who tailgate, people who cut you off, people who drive 100mph, people who drive 10mph, people who won’t let you merge even though it would only take 2 seconds out of their life, people who are texting or doing their makeup, people who can’t stay in their lane, people who are brake-happy, people over the age of 65, etc. Oh, look at that, I didn’t mean to ramble but I did it anyway.
Anyway, the point of this post (is there ever one?) is bad parking. It never fails, whenever one person parks like an ass, the next person parks like an ass too. So then you’ve got a parking lot full of asses. (Doesn’t smell pretty.) If one person would just put in a LITTLE effort, skip a space, and park as perfectly as possible, then they’d be setting a great example. And possibly (though not likely) the next person would be like, “Aw, look how well that person parked! So straight, and centered in their little space. I’m gonna park like that too!” I know, do I live on a cloud or something?
I HATE when cars (especially the tiny ones, wtf?) park practically on top of you. So close that you would need to climb in through the passenger door. (Or the sunroof if you’re surrounded by two assholes.) I can understand being a little crooked, but to park on top of people? What is wrong with you? How rude and inconsiderate. If you force me to climb in through the passenger door, you can bet your ass I’m gonna leave a nasty (but pretty) pink post-it on your car. The SUPER STICKY kind…take that! And then there are the people who double park. Is it just me, or is it always the people with small cars who do this? Do you think you own the place? I also hate, hate, hate when people just throw their doors open with no consideration to the car next to them. “Hey asswipe, are you gonna pay for my paint job? Oh no? Then unless you’re trying to make room for an elephant, learn how to open a fucking door!”
There, I think I’ve said what I needed to say. Want to find out if you’re an asswipe bad at parking? If you regularly do any of the following, then yes…you’re an asswipe. No offense. 😀

Love the title to this post. Aha 😀
Thanks, I saw the quote and thought it was quite catchy!
You just killed me with this post Lily…I laughed my head off and those pictures priceless…though I might be a tiny bit of an asswipe myself lol..still this post had me laughing lol.
I’m so glad! You can’t be much of an asswipe if you found this funny, so no worries! 😀
Love it kiddo boy did I need a laugh keep them coming it’s all true though lol…
Hehe, thanks, glad you enjoyed. 😉
I get that every time I go to a parking lot. Drives me nuts. How hard can it really be to drive straight into a parking place – where they’ve been kind enough to paint lines for you to follow? Love the note in first pic (think I need to make a couple of those to dish out in the future)
I know, drives me insane! I’ll admit I don’t always get it right the first time, but at least I always FIX myself. Geeze people! And I know, I want to use that note in the future too. 😉
Oh hell to the yeah these parkers grate my last nerve and I’m stealing Mickeys’ line and making some cards to leave..
This was hilariousand sadly, too true!!
I know, they’re so annoying!. Steal away, it’s funny. I want to start handing them out too. 😉 Glad you liked!
I loved this-great job-beebeesworld
Thanks!
Oh. My. Goodness. That was hilarious. I’ve heard about New Jersey drivers, but seeing how I live ALL the way over on the West Coast, I can’t really say anything about it.
And that last picture with the cars… WHAT THE HELL. HOW?! I guffawed, I’m telling you. Weird looks, I received them.
Glad you liked! Yup, it’s all true. Although honestly, bad drivers are everywhere.
Ooo, you guffawed? Yeah, you shouldn’t read these posts in public. 😀
Hysterical, and oh so true!
All true, thanks for reading!
I HATE the way people drive, but my BIGGEST pet peeve about driving is when a car has a brake light out. I often refer to that driver as Moron Alert,,,,
Oh yeah, I forgot about that! But I guess if your car is older, it won’t tell you a light is out, so it takes people a while to notice. Oh well, still annoying!
HAHA I love this and especially that last picture! I feel your pain, especially having gone to school in LA for four years. My pet peeve has got to be the brake-happy person in rush hour traffic who, regardless of the fact we’re all moving at about 2 mph, still feels a need to slam on the brakes every other second because they apparently don’t know how to follow at a safe distance without doing so. Geez I feel pissed off just talking about it…….
🙂 I know, I thought the pics were great. Oooh, LA, another bad place to drive. I know, how do people not know how to just “coast” in rush hour traffic? Losers. Lol. 😀
“A parking lot full of asses” is the line of the year!
Lol, it does sound interesting, doesn’t it… 😉
When people take up 4 parking spaces so no one gets too close to their precious souped-up Honda Civic I can obsess about how much I hate them for a good couple of hours.
Oh yeah, I second that. That could be its own category, anyone who thinks they’re the shit in their (piece of shit) Civic.
Amen!!

My friend once parked straddling a disabled parking space, a zebra crossing and a trolley bay. He was running to the shop to buy Fifa 11 though, so it was an emergency.
Alright, so I guess we can make a FEW exceptions. 😉
