45+ Times Bad Parkers Got A Taste Of Their Own Medicine

Park Job Worthy Of An Award

This driver has carelessly taken up more than their dedicated space, which is one of the most irritating habits a driver can have. Apparently, this driver thinks that their car is important enough to take up double the amount of space they actually need.

This bad parker has won themselves an unofficial award! The person who made it (and rightly so!) said that the driver feels like they are entitled to two parking spaces. One highlight, though, would be the fact that this driver has managed to park in a perfectly straight line. Bravo!

Signed, Sealed, And Wrapped In Plastic

When an important package is sent via mail, it often comes wrapped in a heavy layer of protective plastic wrap. From the looks of this photo, it seems like there was some extra plastic floating around, and it was put to good use to teach this driver a lesson.

While the driver may have thought that parking in two spots was a good idea, that must have changed as soon as they discovered their vehicle covered in plastic wrap. Imagine how tough it must have been to unwrap. We guess his Christmas gift came early!

Princess Parking

Although it’s called a parking lot, drivers can’t just park their vehicles wherever they want to. This driver, however, has opted to take full advantage of the striped curb that is clearly not a parking space, claiming it as their very own special spot.

A bystander clearly disapproves, taking a creative measure to dethrone the person who thought to magically turn the spot into VIP parking. This parking spot princess will likely think twice before creating a new spot in the future. Does she want a crown to go with that?

Hatchet Holder

Generally, the term “bury the hatchet” is a figure of speech that essentially means to forgive and forget. And then, of course, some people decide to turn idioms into something far more tangible — not to mention unforgettable. Folks, maybe don’t try this at home?

It seems that this driver has done something to anger someone who either had access to a dozen hatchets or a large group of hatchet-wielding friends. Either way, this vehicle has seen better days and is sure to have sustained some cosmetic damage. The driver is undoubtedly in for a shock!

A Boot (Or Two?)

Isaac Newton once said, “For each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Though this famous quote was said hundreds of years ago and definitely not in relation to parking, the theory certainly stands true in parking lots today.

The owner of this vehicle has very quickly learned that their actions have consequences. They set themselves up for this reaction by pulling into four parking spaces. The public decided to strike back with those nasty boots on the tires. They won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

Only One Warning

When it comes to blocking people in, there are a few things you could do with your car that could inconvenience another person more. It’s a wildly selfish thing to do. This person has clearly had someone block them in one too many times.

This is the frustrated driver’s warning to whoever blocked them in. By the looks of this letter, this particular driver has a continued talent for blocking this person in, and they’ve had enough. This time, it’s a friendly, passive-aggressive note. Next time? It’s going to be the monster truck.

In Case Of Fire, Do Not Park

Part of getting your license is coming to terms with the understanding that fire hydrants are to be left free and clear — even if they provide a convenient place to park. Not only is parking in front of a fire hydrant illegal, but it’s also a safety concern.

This driver has very quickly been made to learn precisely why this rule is in place. Their windshield has been busted through to provide firefighters with access to the fire hydrant connection. Hopefully, they’ve taken a valuable lesson from this experience.

A Messy Lesson

Taking up two spots is bad enough, but this driver has somehow been talented enough to manage to take up four if not five spots! This is an excellent example of someone who needs some practice parking. What did they think all those white lines in the parking lot are for exactly?

But don’t worry — this driver is unlikely to become a repeat offender after the way that their park job was dealt with. Someone (who was obviously very unimpressed) has made a huge mess on this vehicle in an attempt to teach its driver a quick lesson about parking lot etiquette.

Chained Up

Small cars can indeed have their own set of advantages. The owner of this tiny car was probably hoping to sneak into this parking spot without trouble. After all, the car is small enough that it shouldn’t be a problem, right? Wrong.

As it turns out, taking up this spot was a terrible idea. The driver now has to figure out how to undo the chains that have been carefully threaded through the car’s wheels. Without the right tools, the task is going to be nearly impossible, and the driver will be stuck in place for longer than intended.

Famously Bad Parking

Before the days of social media, this driver probably would have gotten away with this terrible parking job with nothing more than a few disapproving glances of passersby. In today’s world, however, this parking job is worthy of digital fame.

Someone who walked by just happened to take things into their own hands and spent the time to type, print, and post this shaming note on the car for the world to see. Congrats to the driver: they’ve achieved online infamy as a crummy parker.

Over The Line

The genius who parked in this spot missed the yellow dividing line by a mile. Like any respectful road user, they could have got out and checked where the line was before repositioning their vehicle. But instead, they decided to just let it be, and so, this happened.

Another road user witnessed this park job and deemed it a teachable moment. So, to help the driver find the line next time, the other driver taped the line right onto the vehicle. This way, the driver will never be able to use this excuse again.

Trash Talking

To all the car owners out there, may we take this opportunity to gently remind you that signs that are posted along the street are there for a reason. In this instance, a driver has chosen to blatantly ignore the signs telling them not to park there. 

After the dumpsters were moved to block in this driver’s car, though, we’re pretty sure that the message will be clear from now on. This unlucky driver’s vehicle is going to be smelly for the foreseeable future and to make matters even worse, they’ll have to move those grody dumpsters before they can go anywhere. Yuck!

A Friendly Reminder

While practicing poor parking skills isn’t going to destroy the planet or kill off humankind, it is highly annoying, and it’s a particularly common pet peeve, not to mention a very understandable one. Whether you’re a fan of Spiderman or not, you’re bound to be impressed by this person’s friendly parking reminder.

From the note (is it written on toilet paper?), it’s clear what injustice has been done, and that said, injustice has had a negative impact on someone else’s day. Although receiving this note probably isn’t the day’s highlight, we’d be glad that it’s so friendly.

Not Even A Little Room

It’s not uncommon for small cars to squeeze into itty-bitty parking spots. In parking lots, this isn’t usually a serious offense. But when it comes to clearly marked spots with fairly straightforward reasons for a no-parking rule? It’s best to comply.

This driver didn’t feel that it was necessary to follow directions and has squeezed his tiny car into a space that, well, isn’t even a space. Upon returning to his car, he’ll find that his car has been built into a wooden box. Good luck getting that out!

Work Of Art

When someone parks like they’ve never driven before, they won’t usually have to face any consequences. If they do, those consequences will likely come in the form of a parking ticket or a strongly worded note on their windshield, but nothing that will keep them up at night.

This, however, is something that just might make them lose sleep. This unfortunate driver has had their vehicle turned into a work of red and yellow art because of how they parked. What a nightmare this will be to clean up!
