Parking Idiots is Singapore's hottest blog, that showcases all those idiots who can't park properly and need to be publically shamed to learn a lesson.

We should start up a sub-section for parking idiots at Suntec. There seems to be so many of them there. Are the carpark fumes in Suntec detrimental to one's parking skills? Look at this idiot in a brand new Chevy station wagon. Parks well into the lot in front - and then just leaves it there without any consideration at all to the next driver. If another were to park in the front lot - he'd either hit the station wagon as he was backing in, or park out of the lot onto the driveway and be an obstruction himself. Someone ought to clamp this idiot station wagon.

Here's a truck driver who's a super selfish idiot. I know truckers got to make deliveries - but to park so inconsiderately and to block the bike lots as well as other cars, not to mention being a road hazard is too much. How'd he feel if he came back to his truck and found two others in front and behind him, blocking his way?

Here's an idiot who has the whole carpark to park in nicely, but chooses to be an idiot by parking out of the lot. This must be a genetic disorder - but I cannot fathom why anyone in the right mind is not able to park properly in this carpark.

Here is a despicable idiot. Lest those of you who think this was an emergency stop or for a delivery, this truck was parked like this for quite a while. The contributor had had his dinner, and returned to the carpark, and the truck was still there. So...to pity or to summon? Just a selfish idiot - no doubt.

This driver is a selfish idiot. He deliberately parked in a reserved lot meant for another car, and not even on one lot - he occupied 2 lots, by parking in the centre. He did so whilst the contributor was standing there looking at him parking, blatantly doing the wrong thing and not giving a damn. The carpark security should also not give a damn about him and go ahead and clamp the idiot. Let him learn the lesson the hard way.

Here is a Merc driver, even with so much parking available, is so idiotic that he can't even get it into a lot properly. I strongly advise for this idiot to give up driving altogether, and let the qualified people drive. Wannabe drivers should just stick to game consoles and simulators.

Here's another RAV4 who has failed parking. The idiot driver, even if he had aligned his parking with the yellow car in front, he would have still parked properly. But, nooooo... our guy here prefered beingt an idiot and parked out of his lot, giving problems to others.

Here is a Toyota Wish driver who is really not confident of his own driving skills. Even though this car has a reverse sensor, way before the sensor kicks in, the idiot driver has stopped reversing, and calls it a day. His car is still nearly halfway out of lot, yet this blithering idiot is happy to leave it there, an obstruction and road hazard to others.

Some Musings
To those who have commented on temporary parking for delivery purposes. Every HDB block of flats has such lots specially catered for such purposes. Also, most HDB flats have a garbage chute area with a wide space for the garbage truck.
Actually, I am not against parking at such areas. I would not want to post pics of cars/trucks parked properly in such areas - because they may be people making deliveries or parking for an urgent need. However, I would still expect them to park properly in these areas and not block others, be a road hazard, etc. As I have previously mentioned - I do not post pictures of vehicles that are just breaking the law; they need to be also of inconsiderate parking, causing obstruction, etc.
To park in a disability parking space is a no-no, unless you have a valid label. Having driven for many years, I have come to realise that everybody will have a thousand and one 'valid' excuses to park at a disability parking space. If we were to accept all that - then we may as well convert all the lots in a carpark to disability parking spaces, so that all the regular drivers who like to park in these lots will have sufficient space. Most of the pictures you see here of people parking at the disability parking spaces without a parking label are those who have been inconsiderate and leaving their cars there for hours or overnight - not those who are only urgently parking for a few minutes and then leaving.
Therefore, you need not feel pity for these drivers who get their cars displayed on this blog - if you park like an idiot - be prepared to be shown up here.
I hope those readers who have been having a 'flame war' in the comments section stick to commenting on the posts themselves, instead of hurling barbs at one another. If you do have to argue - please refrain from using obscenities. Thanks all!!

This kind of idiotic parking, even if we wanted to close one eye, it's difficult. This is so blatantly idiotic - how can anyone park like this and just leave without a guilty conscience? And there is absolutely no reason to park like this in this situation.

This idiot Honda City driver is really careless and inconsiderate; just drove into the carpark lot head first, and left without any concern that his car was out of the lot, slanted into the next lot, causing an obstruction to other drivers, and making it inconvenient to the driver of the van on the right to enter his vehicle.

Here's an idiot who's unable to park properly; probably can't drive either... This photo was taken at the Registrar of Marriages; maybe the guy was tying the knot then. The girl should reconsider marrying a nut like this... if he can't even park, what "else" may he be lousy at?? Ha! ha!

This is an Idiot of Sotong Class - look at how much space he has to parallel park, you can park a bus nicely within the lot, yet this moron still parks out! Unfortunately, by parking like the moron he is, he has blocked the car in front from exiting (as there was a wall in front of that car). It was with great difficulty that the driver in front finally managed to get out.

Here's an idiot who parked out of lot and left the car to block others. He is, however, only partially to blame as the motorcycle in front of the MPV is also another idiot for parking in a no parking area and making it tougher for the MPV to park properly (though the MPV could have chosen another lot instead of parking like this). Both these idiots need to attend retraining at the nearest driving school.

At first glance it looks like the same car in both photos. Actually, they are two different idiots, both driving flashy yellow coupes, parking at the same No Parking spot at different times. Normally, should not draw a second glance - but, in this instance, the No Parking spot is actually the emergency exit for an MRT Station. These idiots have no consideration for others by blocking the emergency exit.

Here's a dangerous idiot. Leaving his Honda onto the street and creating an obstruction and a road hazard for other cars. This idiot, very obviously, does not know how to parallel park, even though there's an empty lot in front making it even easier to park. Best advice: if you can't park, don't drive!

This idiot van driver is hopeless at parking - no care at all that his van is not parked properly. And usually these open parking lots fill up pretty much - thus, there's going to be someone else who'll be deprived of a lot due to this idiot's inconsiderate behaviour.

Another handicap lot idiot parker. This guy does it everyday - even though there are many other regular empty lots nearby. He does it because it so convenient for himself, but refuses to realise the inconvenience if a real disabled person needed to park there.

Another idiot on handicap lot - this time a Subaru WRX wannabe (when is a Rex not a Rex?). This lazy idiot should taken the trouble to park in a proper lot, rather than risk the ridicule of others by parking in a disable lot.

Here's an example of how an idiot parking out of lot affects another car - you can see the blue car has a difficulty in opening his door, due the the way the black Honda Jazz is parked. This is why we despise these parking idiots - who, even though when they have more than enough space to park properly, chooses to be foolish by parking out of lot.

Here is a interesting scene. The idiot driver of this pickup had parked properly in a lot, but had failed to engage the handbrake!! Thus, the pickup had rolled forward - nearly running over the guy in the blue t-shirt! Luckily for him, someone had shouted a warning and saved him from some injury. The passers by waited nearly 15 mins for the driver to show up - who turned out to be a PCK type contractor boss who had been doing a site visit.

Here is an idiot in a sports car who is oblivious to safety. Wonder how he wrangled his way to getting a driving licence. He deserves his car to be towed away for his idiotic action - parking at a bend, on a zigzag line, causing an obstruction to other road users, as well as being a road hazard.

This is an Idiot in a black Sunny, who not only parked in a disabled lot, he also was a road bully - in that he tailgated another driver all the way up to the 8th floor of a shopping mall MSCP, even when the other driver tried to give way and let this jerk pass. This kind of hooligan should be wheel clamped... permanently.

Yet another photo to warm your heart. This idiot in a Fiat van thought that he owned the carpark. Instead, he was pwned by the contributor, who did his civic duty and informed security - which promptly clamped the offender. Ha! Let's see how this idiot got out of this one!
Hope this is a good example to the rest of us to let the authorities know if we see such illegal and idiotic parking. We are merely teaching these idiots to turn over a new leaf and be considerate; otherwise they would just continue being idiotic.

Granted, this truck is big - but if you look at the picture, there is still enough space to park it properly into the lot. But the moron driving this truck obviously was inconsiderate to other drivers' needs and proceeded to park well into another lot, and effectively took up 2 parking lots. Jerk! Drives a "Tips" truck - definately need Tips in parking!

Here is another SUV. This time an idiot in Toyota RAV 4, who is clearly drunk, blind, or stupid.... or maybe all three. How the heck did he get out of the car in the first place, after parking like that? Didn't he think of correcting the parking after realising it was difficult to get out? What a moron!

Our contributor has done well to go to some effort to capture this Super Idiot's foolish action of just leaving his car in the middle of the road to be an inconvenience, obstruction and road hazard to everyone else. This Sotong Class Idiot could have just parked in the MSCP (and it was free parking on Labour Day) - but he chose to be called a moron by risking a fine and the wrath of all by committing this stupidity.

Here is another metally challenged idiot driving a Toyota Altis. Seems he is a regular idiot by continually parking on this spot often. Needs a lesson in manners to park in a regular lot, by getting a $400 finr, methinks.

This is another inconsiderate idiot. Just so he can park close to his house, he goes and blocks up a pedestrian pavement, at a junction, inconveniencing everybody else but himself. I am not sure how many traffic rules he is breaking already: illegal parking, parking on pedestrian walkway, obstructing the view of traffic at a junction, parking too near a junction, etc.
This idiot had already been advised by the residents not to park there, but instead of heeding their advice, he goes and challenges them to call the TP, behaving like a hooligan.
I advise the contributor to call the traffic police, a few parking tickets would soon discourage this idiot from continuing his selfish behaviour.

Words cannot describe the stupidity of this MPV driver. Parking halfway out of his lot onto the driveway. This Honda looks like a one-car roadblock; perhaps this idiot has delusions of being a traffic cop. Looks like the traffic cops should definately put a road block on him!
