The Official CarSPIN Bad Parking Hall of Shame.

[CALL_911]

Let it be noted that I generally do not park in handicapped spots. I only do it when the parking lot is absolutely packed and there are a solid number of handicapped spots just sitting pretty.

There's an "expectant mothers" spot at my supermarket.

There's an "expectant mothers" spot at my supermarket.

They have that shit at IKEA. I think the failure at hand here is the fact that there are so few of these people (as a percent of all customers) that it's absurd to designate parking spaces to them. That's like having parking spots for those who had too big a lunch.

I have no problem with the spots at IKEA or at your supermarket, because they aren't mandated by the government. The owner was not forced to have those spots, and if he wants to have those spots and feels they are beneficial, then he should have every right to have them.

I've seen a couple of "Mother and Child" parking spaces around here.  I've always wanted to bring my mother with me just so I can park in one of those.  Never mind that I'm 44 and my mother is 71.  I'll still assert our right to use it, dammit!

This guy is an embarrassment to all BMW 1-Series drivers! Probably thinks his car is FWD!

Well ain't you a bag of dicks.

1. The consequence if you can't find a nearby parking spot is that you have to walk a little farther. The consequence if a disabled person can't find a nearby spot, or two spots/a handicapped spot if they have a wheelchair to get in and out, may be that they can't go to the store or wherever you are.

2. Many disabilities are legitimate and invisible, so "gee they look fine" is invalid.

3. Even obese people might have a disability that's not related to their weight, and they may even be fat because of some disability, so "gee they're just a fatty and need the exercise" is invalid. And that's not even discussing that morbid obesity can be basically a mental disorder.

Your "invalid" points are invalid. The handicap spot thing is gamed a lot like any other government handout.

Few expectant mothers? It's a furniture store. They sell nursery furniture too. Unless you're living in a fairly small town, there are pregnant people everywhere.

When my wife was pregnant ( late stages ), she never used the spots. However, she couldn't count how many times she'd see some jackhole parking in either a handicap spot or an emergency lane for no good reason other to save themselves from walking an additional 30 feet.

How lazy has everyone become?

False. So what?

[Galaxy]

You guys can end the thread now.

Girl Crashes into House. Twice!

The spin at the end was a nice touch.

[Cookie Monster]

LOL! The spin was hilarious!

[hotrodalex]

wtf?

Jesus friggin Christ! What the fuck was that!? 

[Rupert]

Drunk? Wow?

[CALL_911]

Unintended acceleration.

[cawimmer430]

Unintended acceleration.

What car was that anyway? All I could see was a FWD wheel spin on this SUV...

[GoCougs]

It was a Toyota Highlander, and yes, I'm sure the dingbat will try to assert the now proven-to-have-ever-happened-even-once non-phenomenon.

[Madman]

Stupid bitch will probably blame it on the car! 

[Madman]

Another one from the interwebz....



I'm going to have to start carrying a big piece of chalk with me!

Rich self-centered asshole with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement parks his Ferrari in a handicapped space.

Attacked By Ferrari Owner - Pee Prank

The owner's comment "I can buy your whole family" really sums up the attitude of the 1% towards the rest of us.

[Madman]

A woman (naturally!) in Belfast takes 30 minutes to parallel park on a street!  Heckling students got the last 15 minutes on video!

World's Worst Attempt At Parallel Parking, Enjoy!

Warning: lots of drunken Irish lads swearing.  Turn down your volume if you're at work! 

[Madman]

Redneck asswipe in a Ford Stupid Duty rendering a second parking space unusable at my son's school. 





Pontiac G6 driver to the left not much better!

[CJ]

I'll bet the truck is taking up both spots because it has to.

[Rupert]

Nope. It can stick out a bit.

[Madman]

Went to pick up some office supplies.  This is the place with the "compact" parking spaces around the perimeter of the car park.

One again, I see more idiots who either can't read or just don't care. 


Pretty typical Toyota owner parking.





A huge Merc GL in a "compact" space?  Do you even know what a compact is? 





Hey, you there!  Your Charger isn't a compact!!!

[cawimmer430]

Oh come on, the Mercedes GL is clearly a compact SUV in America! 

[r0tor]

Practically every day at work I park on or a little over the handicapped line at work... of course in 10 years nobody has ever legitimately used one of the two handicapped spots.

[r0tor]

I also regularly park the mazda in the "fuel efficient car parking only" spaces at best buy
