L.A. Can’t Drive

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

My, oh my, look at what we have here!  It’s been awhile since we’ve had a post about bad L.A. parking, and this is a first on this site for a trifecta of poor judgment.  This was taken today in the parking lot of the mall at the corner of Ventura and Laurel Canyon in Studio City.  My wife and I were meeting her parents at the Daily Grill for dinner when we came upon 3 cars taking up 4 parking spaces.  This is how we think these drivers managed to squeeze a square peg into a round hole:

1) Selfish moron in the charcoal gray Toyota Highlander dived for the first parking space he or she saw and didn’t have the presence of mind to take the time to adjust his or her vehicle properly in one parking spot.

2) Dimwitted moron in the green sedan felt like he or she had no choice but to park right next to this SUV at exactly the same angle rather than parking properly one spot over to his or her right, which would have made the SUV stand out alone as the clueless dung bomb.

3) We were actually behind the maroon minivan as it finished parking.  Instead of parking evenly in the 4th parking space (counting from left to right), the driver decided to keep the back of the minivan in his parking spot while angling the front of the minivan into the 3rd parking space.

I’m sorry, but is there some unwritten law among retards in L.A. where you must park at the exact angle as everyone else around you, regardless of lane markings, common courtesy, or basic common sense?  The fact that you have an SUV and a minivan squeezing into compact parking spots is another issue altogether….
