Adventures in Parking

We all know how difficult it is to park in downtown Lincoln. You know what makes it tougher? People who slept through the part of Driver's Ed that covered parking. Without further adieu, I give you Lincoln driving at its finest:
As you can see, these parking spaces are not parallel. Try telling that to the blue car who parked across three of them and the green car that followed suit minutes later. You can see that the two trucks there parked correctly, and at least one of them was there when the blue car pulled up, we're pretty sure.

And the Lincoln meter maid, who would give a ticket to the Pope, could only watch as the Blue Car Genius got in her car (while waving at the roughly 15-20 people on both sides of the street laughing at her):

My question: How do you not see the diagonal lines that you and your car were stretching across? Or the trucks parked correctly? Or the 10-12 cars across the street (not in view on these pictures) all parked correctly?

I guess it's hard for anyone to think straight before they get their morning Starbucks fix. And yes, that's where this woman was going.

Cheers.

Wow. If she's that bad at parking I can't even imagine what she's like driving around town. Speaking of Lincoln parking, does anyone else get frustrated when you wait for someone to pull out of a parking spot downtown only to realize that they were illegally parked in the first place?

I'm amazed there was a moment in downtown Lincoln where such an idiotic stunt was actually possible. I'm glad L-Town gets the priviledge of being the home for not only the nation's worst drivers, but worst parkers. I can't wait until we seize the "Worst Bikers" title.

You've got to be kidding me. There are dumb people everywhere.
