Fail 053 : Video from abroad special

2012-09-14T17:39:00.003-07:00

It's been too long since I've posted any pictures. I need my photo editing software back, as I've just built a new computer, so I'll try to get on that. In the mean time, here is a video that I found from Jalopnik.

The Dacia Sandero, a long time running gag on Top Gear, is seen in a dash cam vid (most likely from Eastern Europe) is seen doing the biggest parking fail ever. It's sad...the driver is sitting so close to the wheel, which should eliminate that issue with new cars, where limited visibility is available, no matter which seat you're in.

No matter, the video is here for all of you to enjoy.

How hard is it to park in a parking spot? Some people find it to be so hard, they just have to park terribly far from a parking spot right at the entrance.

The warmer weather is a chance to enjoy the backyard and build your decks and porches. This driver will build a terrible deck, can't even park their car straight. Did you expect the cutting to be straight too?

It seems that with the weather finally leveling off and being a bit more mild, people still can't master parking their cars in a properly clean parking lot, free of snow and ice. What gives?

This mall is pretty hard to drive through when it's packed. This is especially true during lunch and dinner, so seeing that this is a Good Friday weekend, parking like this is most definitely appreciated. Seriously, thanks. Thanks for parking in such a way so that others can't park easily.

Fail 043 : Video Compilation special

2012-01-26T17:50:00.000-08:00

In winter, as a rule, I understand that not being able to see the lines because of snow is understandable. That's why, photos are never taken of cars that are out of line because of natural problems. Which explains why there is a decline in photos taken during the winter. To compensate for this, Jalopnik has done a compilation to help us remember the 10 worst parking jobs ever caught on video. I think some of these will be quite to some of your liking. Head on over to here and enjoy yourself. I will reiterate by saying this is NOT my work.

As a side note though, pictures of people parking @ churches or private underground garages are also not put on this blog to preserve sanctity and security respectively. I understand the church parking lot is usually full of limp-wristed individuals who know how to lecture today's youth in the wrongness of their ways. However, they rarely ever recognize the wrongness of their way of parking (i.e. stopping their car in a place that clearly is not a parking spot). However, it's best not to invade the sanctity of someone's home parish and posting pictures of botched parking jobs from there. I apologize in advance if this offends anyone, but sanctity and security are rather important in today's world.

It's one thing to be completely off with your parking, but it's another thing when you're keeping everyone else on the side from being able to park in their parking spots.

They try so hard...they really do. I wonder how hard it must be to park in such a failing manner.

Parking a car shouldn't be hard. Unfortunately, it is hard when cars like this are in the parking lot.

The owner of this car doesn't give drivers of Toyotas, drivers of Corollas, AND pensioners a good reputation. Forcibly parking your car in a place that clearly isn't a parking spot is inexcusable even if the parking lot is filled.

It must be tough to choose which space to park in. I'm guessing that's why they wanted to park in both, but at the last minute decided they liked the left spot more....

Ok..yes, this should show up on a "reading fail blog" but let's look at it this way : Home Depot is a home improvement store with all sorts of electric items. MAYBE this driver is going in to buy some electric motors, and some batteries to add to their BMW X5 (which never came with a Hybrid option) so that it CAN be a hybrid.

Yea right......
