I don’t blame them. If I drove a car like that I would also park it there to prevent dings and dents. People just don’t respect each other’s property. That’s an expensive car, do you have any idea how much a panel respray is on one of those…..

It's almost brand new, as well. Surprised to see that class of vehicle in a car park at all TBH.

Do you think they’d let me sit in it if I asked nicely?

A dent is basically a write off

Hahah.
Literally the comments on social media every time someone posts a picture of some absolute jeb who's parked across 3 bays.

Or the classic 'modern cars just don't fit in parking spaces any more'.

Don’t leave in it neutral people.

Looking at the slope down and the front wheels sitting in the drainage channel I think you might actually be on to something there.. At least I hope you are as otherwise I got nothing..

Selfish or thick? We'll never know the answer, all we know is that they shouldn't be driving.

I think all brands of cars are equally likely to be parked badly, people just notice more expensive brands more.

u/newtonbase 2d ago

Some people park, others just stop.

Plot twist: the Ka is being driven slowly around the car park, but we can't see this because it's a still photograph.

u/Croftin 2d ago

4 spaces with a Ford Ka, must be some kind of record!?!

That's probably where the handbrake has failed and it slowly rolled to that area.

u/MineExplorer Nissan Juke, Peugeot Boxer (camper), VW T25 Syncro 2d ago

If they'd parked at 90 degrees across the middle of the lines they could have blocked 6 spaces. Amateur.

its yours, isn't it? you did it for the upvotes, didn't you?

u/CranberryCheese1997 2d ago edited 2d ago

I'd find it harder to intentionally park this badly.

Don't want their precious shitbox getting dented!

u/Ka_Driver 2d ago

Please do not disrespect Ford KA like this

u/Computers-And-Such SLK350, Classic Rally Navigator 2d ago

I meant no disrespect! My beloved Merc is a complete shitbox! :)

u/sunheadeddeity 2d ago

Not gonna lie, I respect the fuck out of that.

u/Extreme_Option8150 2d ago

Absolute idiot. They could have taken up 6 spaces if they had actually thought about it

1

u/CaesarAllMighty 2d ago

Could’ve parked that in one spot, sideways.

u/Far-Lettuce-6200 2d ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Cold_Table8497 2d ago

Is it parked or did it break down?

u/Physical-Clerk-8373 2d ago

Too much unnecessary noise

u/Ok-Thing4762 2d ago

Small car, big attitude

u/BoundToReality 2d ago

Probs a pensioner or a very new driver

u/Salty_Information187 2d ago

Def not new driver, freshly out of school would remember how they should to park, new drivers overthink stuff and not yet have that “I know everything because I’ve driven for 50 years” attitude.

u/chukkysh 2d ago

Ka park there mate.

Hedging roulette style. Impressive.

u/Salty_Information187 2d ago

I always think, why??? and my answer: maybe they really needed to go number two (like really, really) and they were really sorry in a moment for that but the fight was “life or death” )) I mean, who would do that intentionally?

u/uwagapiwo 2d ago

I'd be closer to a bush than this is I was that desperate.

u/Salty_Information187 2d ago edited 2d ago

Actually when it comes to toilet emergencies there is similar alert scale to US military DEFCON5-1 in place, here it is:

DEFCON 5: Normal peacetime readiness, plenty of time to locate a restroom.

DEFCON 4: A gentle nudge. Increased intelligence gathering for toilet locations near by.

DEFCON 3: Definite urgency. Fast walking with purpose, no more detours, anxiety raising.

DEFCON 2: Conversation becomes impossible, tunnel vision, every red light is a personal insult.

DEFCON 1: Bargaining with universe / praying.** **The dam is cracking, Explosion is imminent,

So if it was 1-2 level it is forgivable.

u/uwagapiwo 1d ago

I love that :)

u/EbbVisible 2d ago

Couple of hefty types could probably pick that up & park it appropriately.

u/ExpensiveTraffic6978 2d ago

This looks more like a handbrake fail to me. 😅

u/Status-Mousse5700 1d ago

Special that is

u/randylorian84 2d ago

To be fair, I panic in an empty car park.

Too much choice.

u/StatisticianUsual471 2d ago

I've done that before when the carpark is empty
