I honestly just don’t have words for this. ![46093425_2279782298699820_2533556759293853696_n](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/2/283aa987865af4d65405c6db3f232d87b2b95fcc.jpeg) ---

Looks like a parking spot - strangely added on, beyond the curbing that defines the rest of the parking spots. ---

I just carry spray cans of white and black paint to create my own. ---

I’d criticize, but I could see me doing this. Brain farts are somewhat common for me. ---

I don’t see what else the spot is for. Not a crosswalk. Looks like a parking spot to me, right size and all. ---

At least the first guy got in the center of the lines. That’ll leave room for someone to park in the other spot…er…lane… ---

Trying to decide if they pulled into the “spot” going that direction, or they backed in. ---

> [@MikeInNH](#): > > 10:1 the owner is a little old guy north of 85. Maybe yes, maybe no. At the local mall, they were doing some repair work in the parking garage recently, and that led to a change in traffic patterns. At the top of the ramp, where you have to make a 90 degree turn, the normal entry lane was closed, and instead traffic was routed through what would normally be two “end” parking spaces. Some jerk decided that one of those two spaces was a dandy place to park, with the result that people had to make that 90 degree turn through a ridiculously narrow space. As I was negotiating that turn, the a-hole driver of that car was returning to his vehicle, and I would estimate his age as being late 20s-early 30s. 😠 ---

I think the tank can drive off and leave a broken boot behind. ---

> [@wavyonwheels](#): > > Darn BIG looking boot, photoshop maybe?? Yeah probably, I’ve seen the same picture with different captions and without the boot. But that doesn’t make it less funny. ---

Missing some teeth made me think of Hockey players, do not know what group your thoughts defaulted to. In fact not sure what post you are referring to. ---
