The Diagonal Daredevil

Four spots. One car. Zero remorse. A true pioneer of selfishness.

Two cars parked side by side incorrectly

Side by Side, Wrong

Together in spirit. Also in the wrong lane. A bonding experience for the ages.

Sports car taking multiple parking spaces

The Sports Car Special

An expensive car deserves expensive real estate. Apparently two spots minimum.

Car in completely the wrong parking spot

Wrong Spot, Right Attitude

Parked with enormous confidence. In completely the wrong place. A metaphor for life.

Line? What Line?

The white lines are merely a suggestion. A polite one that this person declined.

Going Green

Not an environmentally-friendly choice. Not a good choice of any kind. Impressive commitment.

Just Smoosh It

Where there's a will — and a complete disregard for your neighbors — there is definitely a way.

One badly parked car causing chaos for everyone

The Chaos Theory

One car. Entire lot ruined. The butterfly effect of modern parking psychology.

The Unofficial Rulebook
for Morons

These are the rules these people follow when parking. We believe they must have an actual manual. We found it.

Block the Road

When waiting for a parking spot, stop in the middle of the road, don't signal, and orient your car diagonally to prevent others from passing. Time is yours alone. Others can wait.

Own the Lines

Always park on the lines, taking up as many spots as possible. Diagonal parking is preferred. The lines were painted purely for aesthetic purposes — not for guidance.

The Half-Pull

In a crowded lot, if you find a pull-through spot, drive halfway and stop on the line, claiming both. Efficiency through territory. This is the way.

Get Real Close

Always park close enough to the car next to you so the other driver must apply Vaseline to squeeze back into theirs. You're building intimacy. It's a community service.

Be Courteous.
You Don't Own
the World.

This site is dedicated to all the people out there who still respect their fellow humans and take the time to do what's right. To the others — we have photographs. Many, many photographs.

Why We Do This

01 / 03

The Big Picture

It's about getting a better picture of the problem — pun absolutely intended. Documenting bad parking is the first step to solving it. Or at least feeling better about it.

02 / 03

Lesson Learned

It isn't about revenge — though we readily admit to a certain satisfaction at the thought that offenders might be taught a lesson. Just putting that out there.

03 / 03

Awareness

It's about increasing awareness of an ongoing, daily, deeply personal problem. People need to stop living in their own me-first world. The parking lot is for everyone.

Education for the Chronically Lost

Learn to Park

Believe it or not, parking correctly is not that hard. We've broken it down into three simple steps. Even for you.

Find a Spot

Look for two white lines close together. That is your spot. The entire spot. Not two spots. Not the middle of both. Just the one.

Stay Inside the Lines

Pull your vehicle between the white lines until you are centered. The lines are not decoration. They are guidance. Follow them.

Leave Enough Room

Check both sides. If the car next to you cannot open their door without your help, you are too close. Move. Try again.
