Ah…I see you’re ‘one of those’

[vreihen16]

I think that the funnier things are how the Mini died trying to climb over that speed bump (sleeping policeman), and that it appears to be facing the wrong direction on a one-way road.....

I think this is related...
I drive in Manhattan. I've been driving -and parking-here for almost 50 years.
At this point, the city has gotten so bad to drive in that if you know how to get around, you'll face hours long delays at times.
Don't know your way around? Days. Or literally, you can't get there from here sort of thing.
Anyway, on Sunday you can park at places that require payment other times. Of course from 8am-7pm weedays these are places you can't park.
Anywho.
There's a nice long stretch of spaces at the corner of 48th and Sixth avenue.
Legal to park there on Sunday and even free.
BUT- there's a major new network located in the building on that corner, so they use metal barricades to block off about 10 spaces.
Today, after driving around for 20 minutes, I said screw it, and just moved some of the ducking barricades and parked. They are not NYC government barricades btw. Spots in NYC- LEGAL spots....no one should be able to hoard them
Rant over.

I can see a shopping trolly or two suddenly getting lose in that carpark. Not that I would do it but there are those that would.

[Lady Jane]

Speaking of shopping carts... Although from the image, I'm not sure what he did. Could be just a prank.

I don't think this will piss me off if. Jim Bob Jr 3rd parking his trailer park special might

I came across this bunch of morons yesterday. Why bother painting lines? It's not very obvious in the photo but the cars in front of the silver Nissan are all straddling the lines as well. There are no snowbanks or anything else preventing them from parking correctly. Ah Quebec.

[Alfisti]

Thing is, the true protagonist may not even be in the picture.

But painted lines on the asphalt is a universal language, isn't it?

Not when you drive with your tongue

Depends on the country. When I was in the PI, the lines were no more than suggestions.

[MMnut]

There could be a logical way to explain that. The cars would have been parked the night before and there were snowing / dark and the lines got buried down under snow (you can see water there in the morning) and drivers couldn't see clearly and just parked one next to the other with enough clearance.

These are normal cars and not really those hyper car morons.

Bloody copper parks up in bus stop/pavement whilst he sits in McDonald’s, parking enforcement officer just looks & walks by twice without putting a ticket on it, if it were you or I we would be ticketed….Bloody well boils my piss

Driver: Whew, that was close.

Also driver: Ah f*ck it, might as well finish the job.

Talking of arseholes…I’ll take up two spaces just so I can put my shopping on the back seat. Then she drove of & left the trolley there

[nazali]

Unless he bought 4 parking tickets, he'll get 3, if not 4
but if you have a roller, you'd not be worrying about the oinks giving you tickets

You have it wrong, in the morning when they parked, the ground was covered in snow, later on in the day you can see it melted

They get a pass
