After the reader submitted Parking Tard a few days ago people have been on the hunt. This fine example was spotted in Santa Monica near 5th and Colorado, 6/4/09, by jeffro:
OH: “I used to drive an Escalade but I could barely get both my doors open in these tiny parking spot pairs. So I sold it and got this sensible Mini Cooper. Now it’s so easy to get my car right down the center line and there’s plenty of room to get the doors open.”
Ok, not really overheard, but you can imagine.
Alternatively: “it was a messy divorce. She got parking space #11 and he got space #12. Still no agreement on who gets the car.”
Yes Mr. Barty, your car is waiting for you in spot 11 1/2.
You might consider printing up flyers with “Parking Tard” and the definition and each time you see an example, leave it on their windsheild with the LA metblogs web info. They can look online and see their parking job shared to the many readers of this site. Perhaps they may even leave leave comments.
Just print some of the flyers from http://youparklikeanasshole.com/, check the appropriate boxes (depending on the flyer), and place on their windshield.
Looks like the poor mini coop developed a bit of a a mini napoleon complex as it parked next to the hybrid and the truck.
I love our readers.
I love it when they make our job easier.
OH GOD
SO DOING THIS
probably going to create a flickr pool too :D
muahhah
I love these. I’d like to see a “cell phone tards” series, too! You know, pictures of people that the “no cell phone while driving” laws *don’t* apply to.
We have some more fun planned for this soon i promise!
