Oh no! It’s Monday!
Well back to work everyone… and by work I mean back to looking at photos of people parking poorly.
It’s a hard knock life.
If you’ve got some shots of people parking badly send them in to images@the-riotact.com.
Be sure to use the word “PARKING” in the subject line and let us know what name you would like to be credited with.
1. Zeital opens for us:
Here is one from the back of Woden. Double whammy.
2. Sheep Groper has two bad parks, and one bad parking space for us this week:
I walked past the chemist, and looked for a parking space at Tugg Bunnings on Saturday
morning – first time I’ve been there and had to look for a free space.
The little Civic computer shop that became a car parking spot one Saturday night (and featured in the Moanday parking thread a few days later) has moved upstairs. Presumably in the hope that cars, unlike Daleks, can’t negotiate stairs.
3. Golden-Alpine intruded on a private moment:
These two were caught all kissy kissy in the carpark of Gungahlin Village. They really are touching!
4. Butters has a spread for us:
Cooleman Court, Weston Creek on a rainy Sunday afternoon/night.
5. Holden Caulfield sees no reason:
This car is on parked on this corner all the time. The owner may have a permission to do so for all I know, but that doesn’t mean this photo shouldn’t be shared.
6. Chas imagines how things went:
“Oh, look honey, I found all these empty spots in the front row. How about I take two?”
7. GerryBuilt explains:
Because… F-you…
8. James found him:
Found this person parked at the rear of calwell shops.
9. Red points out the best bit:
Taken on Allar st.
What Taxi rank full no worries I just park on the side walk.
The best part the drive was standing in the middle on the street smoking.
In Belconnen mall.
So what is it with parking over the line? It seems little car thinks it’s a big car.
And then in twice in one day the only spot available next to someone over the line.
As you can see the ford…. Not like the space isn’t big enough to start with, he was half way out of the spot too.
10. Richard shares with us his Belconnen Mall series:
The Belconnon Mall series were taken on two separate days. it seems to be a popular spot.
The people parked in Purdue St were celebrating the Australian lifestyle. It was a 30 degree day, so why park legally in the sun (where there were plenty of spaces) when you really want a space in the shade.
Finally in the Walder st photo, she had decided to park there so she could pick up some furniture from the Salvos.
11. Aeek lets the image talk:
12. Madam Cholet gives people what they deserve:
Noted this parking effort in Tuggers Homeworld car park. It’s a car park that already causes much consternation with the regular flouting of the one way rule, but this lady wanted to also a) park and wait across spaces reserved for people taking their driving tests and b) do this in a car park that was half empty. I think she knew when she saw me take the pic where it might end up. Some obviously deserve their 15 minutes of fame.
13. Johnboy suggested I leave the number plate visible on this one, and I listened. Besides if this is who I think it is, he’ll be able to take care of it:
14. Coolrunning0 seen it:
Seen at Canberra Hospital the other week.
Seen at Griffith shops last week.
And a two for one shot at Mawson shops recently.
15. Grump put his own RiotACT labels on this one:
Taken yesterday 6/11. In the first one the red car seems to have been pushed across by car to its left forcing me to edge of my ‘slot’ on the right. Little effort by female driver of the red car to square up though. At the far right of this line is the 2nd picture who drove in as I walked by after taking the first pic! A large 4×4 tried to squeeze in the space there moments later but gave up (3 pics in 1 minute was too much to ask!)
16. Sarah is unimpressed:
Outside the Gungahlin Veterinary Hospital- a BMW taking up two car parks.
17. Paul! exclamation mark:
Bunnings Tuggeranong on a very busy Sunday.
Another Sunday boofhead at Bunnings Tuggeranong on a very busy day.
18. Bubz ain’t no sheep:
And here we are in Dickson with a double hit.
Because parking legally, less than 50m away is so mainstream…
19. Astrojax is a fan of the filter:
saw this excellent example of I can park here cause I wanna outside the Zeffirelli pizza place behind doctors in belco today – was there at least an hour and I only snapped it having seen someone with it twice before it was alone after my gp appt and shopping excursion. thanks dude.
outside the ottoman in Barton (and right opposite the afp hq!) I spotted this odd looking motor cycle…
