Dear Monday People,
I’m sorry the weekend is over.
Here are some parking photos that demonstrate how sorry I am.
If you are sorry too you can give us parking photos, just email them to images@the-riotact.com and we’ll do the rest. Make sure to include parking in the subject and let us know what name you would like to be credited with.
1. Shirty_Bear opens this week:
Jammo (big surprise), Saturday morning. Wrong side of the road, No Parking zone. Not so much lazy or selfish as pure, distilled incompetence.
2. Larry D doesn’t actually have personalised numberplates:
Returning to my car last Saturday, I discovered some unwanted car affection from an amorous Audi.
I was just about to enter via the passenger door when the offending driver returned to his car. I asked him if he was happy with his park. He thought his parking sensors where beeping at the wall on the other side…he then continued on his way, having a nice day at everyone else’s expense.
This is chaos. Society can’t function like this!
3. Tim found a tripple score car:
This guy goes for a parking hat-trick:
1 – parked in a No Stopping zone
2 – parked less than 3m from double unbroken dividing lines
3 – parked less than 10m after a pedestrian crossing
4. Lyshious found the prettiest car this week:
Found this one at Dickson shops.
Enjoy!
5. Nouse netted this one:
6. Jonah has questions:
Photo 1: Rudd Street at the Jolimont Bus Station.
Is it really ok to use the footpath as a carpark? What if the reason is, “I’m just waiting for a mate.” Does that make it ok?Photo 2: Bunda Street at the Canberra Centre (Ainslie Place)
It seems this motorist just couldn’t fathom using the loading zone…it was TENS of metres away…why not just park at the door to the mall?
7. Sick of jerks is over rude people:
Jerks!
8. We got this one from a mysterious phone number:
9. Maria met some charming men:
On Saturday, a couple of tradies decided that rather than inconvenience themselves by having to carry their tiling goods upstairs, they would park so that nobody in the Madison apartments at Narrabundah could access the underground carpark.
Yes, I know I am a middle-aged woman and I am really glad that I use tradespeople who are polite and charge normal amounts, so the fact that I could “never afford my services and I don’t need your work anyway biatch” was not that disturbing.
They refused to tell me who they worked for and claimed anyone “not retarded” could drive around their truck to access the carpark from the other side. Unfortunately, that would mean parking, getting out, running around to the sensor, scanning the fob, running back to the driver’s side, and driving in. Yes. all doable, but why should people who are paying to live there be forced to run around to suit a couple of jumped up tattooed boys who can’t be arsed to walk three metres?
10. Katie gave us this:
11. Sheep Groper delivers his usual collection of goodies:
12. P1 with three:
Taken in the small parking area between Ubercrap and autopro in Belco on a busy Saturday morning. That white ute is parked and vacant… No idea if there was something in front of it or not, but it was sticking more than half a vehicle length into the laneway.
Illegally parked building. Bit out of town, HMAS Albatross, site of a sombre NSW RFS airbase right now.
Belco Bunnings. The white car on the left drove in ahead of me and parked… Directly behind two cars, and forcing the guy backing out to change his line (although it is a wide line).
13. Nail is almost last:
Snapped this at Mawson on Thursday, seems size of vehicle is inverse to spacial awareness. The Audi on the left had to squeeze against the gutter to fit in the reduced park left by the mong in the Toyota.
14. Harold got in just before the buzzer:
A few randoms from the last couple of weeks.
