We gotta get our s*** together when it comes parking.

Where do I even start? The lack of parking skills shown in our fine city is enough to encourage someone to raze the city to the ground so a new civilization may rise from the ashes and become civilized in bringing your car to a stop IN BETWEEN THE LINES!

My coworker's and I went out to lunch today. The parking lot wasn't that full, in fact, it was actually kind of empty. Which is why this abomination of a parking job stood out:

Yes, we get that you have a truck and the world (or life) is your highway and you don't have to take anything from anyone because you can haul grain or farm animals. But holy hell, that is atrocious. You might be thinking "Gavin, you are being too harsh, I'm sure it wasn't THAT bad!" To that I respond with this second photo:

Yeah, the person in this truck looked at this parking job and thought "NAILED IT" before entering a business as if they didn't just take a huge s*** on the art form of parking. If you are having a strong reaction of rage to this pic, that's good: It means your aren't a hollow shell and have people in your life who love and care about you. This person may not know what Christmas is because that's the only explanation for this horrifying display of not giving a f***.

I just don't know how you mess up such an easy parking job. If I did this, I would have re-parked or reconsidered ever driving again because I don't deserve the right. If this is how they treat parking lines, I'd hate to see them spend even 20 seconds with a coloring book. It'd probably be enough to get me institutionalized.

In conclusion, if you park your car like this, you willingly submit yourself to the much-deserved ridicule you are going to receive. Cars and trucks go inside the lines. The End. Come back next week when we discuss when it is appropriate to use a turn-signal. SPOILER: IT'S ALWAYS APPROPRIATE!
