    Who cares if the comparison is real life and a game? How do you think pilots are trained? Flight Simulators. How do you think drivers of tanks are trained? Same deal.

    Bad parking is one of those things I really hate. What I hate even more is that people don't correct it. When one car is parked bad, the next one that arrives parks it right next to it, also parking bad. No, you correct it and park properly. Break the combo, don't zombie copy.

    I always check if I am parked properly. If I'm not, I get back in the car and I reposition my car. How hard is that?
    Statix will suffice.

    When I drive with one of my friends I stick my head out the window to check for him, its mildly hilarious.

    Ah but there´s the difference. Simulators and a normal game. A simulator, as the word says, simulates (something close to) a real situation.

    Because again, for the third time now, I didn't use it as a simulator, I used it as a means of entertainment, but it taught me to view what I am doing from a birds eye view. Now, if someone gets in a tricky spot, who do they call ... ?

    What does GTA do? Does that not simulate how a car is driven? Flight Simulator is a game and it's being used to train pilots. Heck, the military uses shooters such as America's Army to train their soldiers, because they are so realistic.

    I suck at parking. I always accidently back on the sidewalk, or I almost scrap the car in front of me, or I always get too far out... it's a bitch.

    My nerves can get the best of me if attempting to park in a tight spot on the sidewalk, while a congestion of cars build up behind me. In those situations I go "screw this, I'll park further away and just walk".

    Not gonna lie, I am pretty terrible at pulling into spots. Almost always have to back in. Probably because I worked at a car dealership for a year and a half and you back in all the cars there since they need to be facing out, almost never have to pull in, so I never really had to be good at it.

    As for the blog, all you have to do is blur out the license plates, and *maybe* people's faces, but probably not.

    How can you live with yourself? Sure, the jackasses who parked like jackasses are

    SPIT PEOPLE, that's the new keying. Build a huge loogie in your mouth and spit that
    bugger right on their driver's side window or the driver side of the windshield.

    It's a wonderful feeling to know that when the jackass bad parker comes out to his/her
    car they have a massive, nasty ass loogie on their window and it comes with so much
    less negative karma for the spitter!!

    off-topic: I really can't stand assholes that don't let you parallel park, they get right up on
    your bumper despite the fact the car is obviously in reverse. Seriously, how stupid are people.
    And eight, eight, I forget what eight was for

    Don't forget the long time student classic after a night out. That disgusting kebab you got from that dubious looking place? The first badly parked car you see get's that manky kebab unwrapped and hurled at its windscreen. Or, put it under the wipers and ping them down onto it and the sauce so it goes everywhere.

    the car parks round here fine you for parking badly, if you dont park in a marked bay you're going to get fined. still see plenty of people who must just drive in a hurry and then jump out the car without even looking where they have parked, its really not a hard thing to do.

    I think it really just comes down to kinesthetics. Driving a car is basically kinesthetic projection and some people have a hard time internalizing the act.

    Still though even though I can rationalize why people suck at parking I'm still going to take pictures and post them.

    Depends on the type of parking. Forward perpendicular parking is easy, and who fails at it is either lazy or is so bad he/she shouldn't be driving on the streets at all.
    Reverse parking, specially the parallel kind, takes some skills to do it correctly at the first attempt.

    I hate people who can't park. Worse are the douchebags who drive their little rice rockets that park across 2 or 3 spots because they think someone is going to whack their car with their door. OK, people who drive cars that are actually worth something like a Mercedes, BMW, Audi or a Porsche for instance, I can accept that, they are nice cars and cost a shit load to fix. A little 4 banger Civic? Fuck no, and stop being a pretentious twat while you are at it! The people who can't actually park their vehicles around here are people who are trying to compensate for lacking in certain areas and soccer mom's who drive SUV's. People who drive big ass pickup trucks can't park worth a fuck either.

    I park like a d-bag. I can never pull far enough forward when I roll into a spot with the car. But im in the lines its just me ass end tends to be back about 6-8 inches over the line.

    I have given up trying to correct this- so hasnt everyone I know telling me how much I suck- so we park far out and walk because I know my shitty parking.



    But I can parallel park anything on a dime.

    I am kinda good with most driving and i hate when someone parks lika a shithead.

    Once in our home village at our small pizza place i had a encounter with tourist that did not know how to park...
    Well the parking place only has 3 spots [][][] and that dude had parked across everyone of em!
    so when i went indoor the pizza dudes greeted me

    pizza guy - ''hello whats up man, how your doing?''
    me - ''well its fine exept someone out there don't know how to park!''
    tourist guy - (stands up in the middle of the store and says) ''do you have a problem with something?'' in a angry loud tone.
    me - ''yeah there is someone who have cross parked over all 3 spots, but who knows maybe he got his drivers license in a cornflakes package and cannot park better?''
    tourist guy - (looks around him in the shop and everyone is looking at him and laughing, so he sits down with a red face and quickly finish up his soda and gets out of there fast as lightning).

    pizza guy - ''the usual?''
    me - ''yeah''
    pizza guy - ''its on the house''

    Yeah i am a returning customer and most of times i order the same.
    I'm a stranger, I'm a changer.
    And I'm danger... maybe...

    I see a lot of it here too, but I guess it's everywhere. The most common thing I see around here is people who obviously are not handicapped but park in the handicap spots. Always pisses me off when I see that. I also see a lot of people who have trucks with huge-ass trailers on the back that park sideways and take up like 5 spots, though I'm not sure how you're supposed to "properly" park something like that.

    I don't, but if you park in an asinine enough way, someone will.

    I'll admit I've been VERY tempted though haha.
