RZR.



And for some reason, I kinda doubt she owns one.  She's like 20 and works at the gas station.  RZRs are like $12k, used.

I thought she "RZR" was referring to this!  :lol:





Maybe it's this?

This MC Hammer spilled over into what was, at the time, the last available parking space. Fortunately my wife's Atos is narrow.

on FB I've seen that people are now zip-tying a shopping cart to the driver door handle for horrible parking jobs..

Everyone seems to have trouble with the angled parking spaces outside my office building. These guys stood out especially well:

I unfortunately don't have any photos, but something about people who drive Chevy trucks and parking like total clowns seems to go hand in hand where I work.  There's one person with a late-model Silverado that intentionally dead-centers their truck on the line and then pulls far enough ahead that their vehicle is partially occupying 4 spaces.  Another with a new Colorado parks diagonally to take up two spaces.  Both of these park in the very back of the lot, too, so I suspect they are doing it to prevent door dings in their new-(ish) vehicles and I can kind of forgive it.  There's another person with an older C/K 1500 who blatantly takes up two spots and they park in the front third of the lot in the aisle closest to the the door.  And while the truck looks OK for a 20-ish year old vehicle, it's not like it's a show-quality vehicle that you'd care about protecting from door dings and scratches.  The paint has lost much of its luster and there's some rust on it.  It looks like it lived its life being used as a truck.

If they are kind enough to park way out and walk, I'm mostly cool with it.

If it's a lot that's 100% full, unforgiveable. And if they are towards the door and expect to take up everyone else's spaces?  Let all the air out or something.

Local PD.  Saw this posted on Facebook...the comments sure are kind. lol

EDIT:  Also just noticed the car parked next to the cop is clearly over the yellow line. :lol:

Picked up my sister from the airport and drove to my parents place in Mühldorf. This Vespa owner had to use up a good parking spot. You know you can park those next to a wall on a sidewalk, right? Cops in this town don't care if you do that, but noooooo, they had to do this.  :heated:

I assume they were desperate to get to class on time. Idk if that's worth getting a parking ticket for.

Well, it's kind of the fault of the asshole who left a huge space like that, probably could have fit in there properly if everyone else had parked properly.

There's a local FB group of a similar ilk here, pretty funny to see what some people do.  I managed to spot this one this evening at the registration for a mountain bike race.



I understand that they wanted some protection since they have bikes hangin' off the back and stuff, but uhhhh they didn't need to be this drastic. :lol:

I'm about to see so many people in spandex tomorrow. People buy mountain bikes and immediately think they need spandex. Why.  Learn how to friggin' ride first. :devil:
