This is a good example of the domino effect of parking.  One person parks badly and then everyone else has not choice but to park badly too, as witnessed in this picture where the Benz being off-line makes the Honda next to it be off-line and so on and so on.

At my new job I end up parking in a structure rather than a lot.  Right now there is a lot of construction going on down the block for a new "Glove" shopping center right next to the Glendale Galleria..  Because of that there are a ton of trucks in the structure.  Somehow all of those giant trucks are able to stay within the lines.  But this dummy, who has a tiny truck, somehow can't fit his tiny tiny car into one spot.  Parking is at a premium in this structure right now, so every little spot counts.

This isn't really a "Can't Park" situation, but rather someone that parked themselves in the crosswalk.  The light had not just turned red, it had been red for a while when this car pulled up into the crosswalk.  It didn't pause before the crosswalk, so the driver doesn’t have the excuse that they stopped first.  What I'm basically trying to say is that this driver is an asshole, like nearly all drives in Los Angeles.  What you can't see in the picture are the half dozen people that had to walk around the car in order to cross the street.  Dumb!

While pulling out of the driveway of a local fast food joint I spotted this car.  The entrance to this fast food place is barely big enough for two cars to deal with under normal circumstances.  But this guy not only isn't normal, he's just plain idiotic.  The arrow pointing the exit side of the driveway is clearly seen on the right side.  The left side is for those wanting to enter.  I was on the correct side when I took this picture, and you can see just how offset this stupid fellow is from where I'm taking the picture.  Another example of the "me first" attitude rampant in this town.

I've had it with people who park like idiots because they can't drive the car they own.  Case in point, this idiot, who actually parked next to my car.  I parked with plenty of room to both sides of me, as you can see in the picture.  Also, I have a tiny car.  This guy parked so close to me that I had to walk around to the front of my car in order to enter it.  Then I had to back out on a crazy angle in order not to hit his car.  Dumb.
