How terrible are you at...parking?

I just had to put this up. It certainly made me laugh.

Arch, here is some more skipology that I just discovered this week. The house across the street is having a basement excavated so, about once a day, there is a full skip that needs to be dragged away, and an empty one put in its place. Here is how they do it without having to put two skips side by side. It's so obvious in retrospect.

1)The lorry with the empty skip on board backs up behind the full one on the ground.
2) The lorry reaches backwards and picks up the full skip, and places the full skip on the empty one that is still on the lorry.
3) The driver of the lorry removes the chains from the top skip and puts them on the bottom (empty) skip.
4) He then lifts both skips off the back of the lorry and places them on the ground, with the empty one on the bottom.
5) He swaps the chains from the bottom skip to the top skip, and lifts the full skip onto the back of the lorry.

I saw this for the first time two days ago. Pure genius.

Neat! Like one of those games were you have to get a tower of pieces from one peg to another without putting a bigger one on top of a smaller one....

I saw this on Wednesday and had to take a snap...

Yes, that is parked, not parking...

Ruddy heck!!
I often see 'parked' cars and think 'I could have crashed neater than that!!'

You know those people who park down the white line, taking up two bays, so their precious car doesn't get scratched. I hate that! So much so that when I have to park the police car and have the opportunity, I get my passenger to get out, and squeeze the panda into the bay by their drivers door. Of course, unfortunately to fit in what's left of the bay this often means that it's likely to be virtually impossible for them to open their drivers door...

I once had a happy moment of coming back to find someone standing behind his Range Rover waiting to get back in.

I think you have to drive a police car to pull that one off.

Class!

My sadly passed elderly neighbour used to casually abandon her car somewhere near the kerb rather than actually park it.

Reversing into a parking spot today and didn't see the concrete step stick out from side wall.......

Yup,cracked the bumper

I'll tell the boss one of the apprentices did it when he was sent to clean the car
