Introducing: Bad Parking
I’ve been sitting on this for awhile because I kept thinking I was going to change this or fix that before I officially launched it. But I just want to get it out there because it’s supposed to be fun, not a pain in the ass. So here it is, my latest project…
A place to showcase all those drivers who can’t keep it between the lines. Or off the curb. Or whatever. So far all the photos have been taken by me, but soon I want to take submissions. So the next time you see a terrible parking job, get out your camera and share it with the world at Bad Parking.
I hope you’ll check it out (and let me know if anything is awry). Enjoy!

Brava! I get annoyed by bad parking displays too. Those are great.

I’ve seen these pics on Flickr and always wondered what the point was? Now I get it.
And yes, I agree it’s annoying. More than anything I can’t stand back-in parkers. Why? Why must you back-in park? For a fast getaway? What are you a bank robber? Grr…

Argh! I’m offended. (not really) I’m a backer-inner and I’m proud of it. I like backing in. It’s makes it much less likely that I’m going to hit someone or something or someone is going to hit me when I’m backing out. People drive like maniacs these days, never paying attention. I’m constantly twisting and turning, checking and double checking to make sure no one is around or no one else is backing out before and as I’m backing out. It’s a pain. I like to back in. Back in, easy out.
Ok, I’m done pleading my case.
I love the new site Shan! It’s awesome. Glad you were finally able to get it going.

At last. I have been talking to guys at work about your bad parking pictures and we think this is a great idea. I can’t wait to turn in some that I have taken myself.

maybe you should have taken a picture of the asshat who hit my car and ran today.

I am going to end up on your site. I suck at parking!

This is brilliant! My husband wanted to start a site where people could complain about bad drivers and post their plates.
