Finding the right place to park can be an annoying and time-consuming task. But parking appropriately is an essential part of being a civil and educated person. While most people do their best to respect the rules, some wiseguys out there seem to have not received the memo. Instead of playing their part in society, they were too lazy to pay attention to the signs.
The world is not always a fair place. But when it comes to parking, karma always finds a way to interfere. The parking revenge pictures we have for you will probably restore your faith in humanity. After all, it's about time we stop letting these lazy drivers get in the way of a happy day in the city!
We Have An Emergency!
This driver pretended not to see the fire hydrant standing right next to his car. Instead of doing the right thing and continuing looking for a proper spot, he chose to snub the rules and get in the way of a possible emergency. But karma was right on time and showed him a valuable and costly lesson.
When a firefighter has to decide between damaging private property or doing his duty, you know what he's going to do! Focusing on doing their job, the men and women of the fire department crashed the car's windows to make way for their precious water hose. For this irresponsible driver, the result was not pretty. But you have no right to complain when you just parked next to a fire hydrant!
This Driver is Stepping Out of Line!
First of all, let's give some credit to the anonymous hero who took the time to photograph, digitalize, and print this message! We could not agree more; the driver was probably trying to make sure his sweet ride wouldn't get scratched. This selfish driver didn't even try to hide the fact that he was taking two full parking spots all for himself!
Some people just have an inner feeling of entitlement that doesn't go well with parking responsibly. But don't worry, karma will eventually save them from their own mistakes. We hope he spotted this poster and felt the shame!
Uncontrollable Rage
We're not sure about what this driver did wrong, but we're pretty confident he was not a first-time offender! Our guess? He'd been illegally parking right in front of his local hardware store for months. Now, he's getting a real taste of the uncontrollable rage triggered by his actions.
That morning, he thought he would go away without any consequence once again. But he did not predict that karma had about five extra axes to spare. Now he's in for a big surprise when he comes back, not to mention a costly trip to the panel beater.
The Mother of All Parking Notes
If there were a prize for homemade parking tickets, this would be our number one pick. From the layout to the classy font, there's not a thing we'd change about this modern-day masterpiece. And the best part is the content. The words are valid but not overly offensive. They reflect exactly what's on everybody's mind without being vulgar!
Is that you, William Shakespeare? Because we're falling in love with this masterful display of the English language. The ending, with the fleas in the armpits, is pure literary gold!
Who Doesn't Like a Party?
Surprises. Some surprises are lovely, others not really. This lazy driver parked where he shouldn't and was awarded a surprise of the second type. It all looks like a fun party. But the real "party" will be the hours spent cleaning the car.
To avoid surprises, please keep your car away from emergency exits, and far from driveways and garage entries. All failures to do so will be rightfully compensated by the karma party commission. And don't worry, they will find a way to get all of those balloons inside!
Did Someone Order a New Paintjob?
Artists are generally peaceful and easygoing people. But when an artist sees something he doesn't like, he will act! A Jackson Pollock fan was cruising around when he saw this poorly parked SUV. Deciding to use his art to change the world for better, he got an idea!
Inspiration strikes in the most unexpected hours. Unfortunately for this irresponsible driver, his SUV is now the canvas of a new urban masterpiece. Parking revenge will not get any more artistic than this!
BBC Wildlife
In the African Savannah, the irresponsible gazelle drifting from the pack almost always become the prey of starving lions. In the city streets, there are no gazelles and no lions. But there is a set of rules that are meant to separate us from the wild animals we watch on the BBC and Discovery Channel.
And when one selfish driver decides not to comply with such a set of rules, there's a chance he will be surrounded by a group of outraged people! This parking revenge story is about to get ugly, so we recommend for sensitive viewers to change the channel immediately.
Dude, Where's the Bike?
Remember that awesome feeling when you finally learn how to ride a bike? It almost makes you feel like you're a true driver, riding along with the adults and their cars. But it doesn't give you the right to take a full parking spot all for yourself!
Someone somewhere learned a lesson the hard way. An angry driver decided to take measures into his own hands. Now our overly-confident bike owner will be spending a couple of hours looking for his bike.
Smart Choices
Smart Cars were designed to be used in the city. Small and practical, they can fit almost anywhere and can be parked very easily. But they're not exempt from following the rules. This young man decided to park his Smart "wherever" and was forced to deal with the consequences.
Crafty karma police had enough wood to spare for a little Smart box. Now, these two not-so-smart friends are either going to have to walk home or do a little bit of heavy lifting.
And the Winner Is...
Parking right on top of the line is outrageous. For this irresponsible driver, however, it was enough to get him a $500 award. Of course, the prize is symbolic. The real winners here are the people who are fed up with living in a city filled with selfish drivers who only care about themselves.
We're laughing hard at this picture, but we do have some questions. Who were these brave parking-spot vigilantes? And, most importantly, why do they have access to a giant pen and check?
Baby Steps
Only adults are allowed to drive. So, why do so many drivers act like babies? Learning how to stay within the lines is something coloring books can help us with. And judging by all the irresponsible parkers, there's a great deal of teaching to be done.
This hilarious parking note is karma's way of letting irresponsible drivers know there's always a way of getting better. The only problem is that most bad parkers are not unskilled drivers, but rather, lazy and inconsiderate ones.
Late For the Bus?
Bus drivers are forced to listen to the complaints of travelers, drive the same routes over and over, and respect the speed limits. They're however, not usually forced to deal with reckless parkers! When someone decided to take a bus-designated parking spot for his small car, the bus drivers decided to unite and get their revenge!
Now this irresponsible driver is stuck between seven massive buses. How on earth will he get home? Ironically, he is probably going to have to take the bus...
Bad Parking Turns Into Impossible Parking
In this parking revenge picture, we are not able to see the driver's crime. Taking a look at the punishment, however, we're guessing he was doing some major rule-breaking business, such as taking two accessible parking spots at once.
Well, karma played its part, and his lousy parking turned into an out-of-this-world kind of parking. Nothing like good crate work to restore our faith in humanity. Good luck trying to get your car back on the ground without destroying it!
Even Natural Disasters Show Some Common Sense
Do you still think karma is not a real thing? If so, how can you explain that, out of all the cars parked in this street, only the poorly parked one ended up being struck by a falling tree? This is karma in action at its best!
When even natural disasters show more common sense than you do, you know it's time for a change of habits. Next time, this irresponsible driver will try to park his car within the lines. Assuming he still has a car to drive around town after this karma-induced disaster.
Argumentation Skills
We're not sure whether the person responsible for this hilarious ticket was in the debate team or not, but the argument is on point. In a few words, this note sums up exactly why rage on the road can be dangerous both to bad drivers and poorly parked vehicles.
Luckily, this person was in a good mood and didn't feel like using violence. But this seemingly innocent note is a reminder of how crucial it is to park responsibly. Otherwise, you may have to deal with karma and, even worse, the uncontained rage of other drivers.
And So He Did
Parking revenge stories would not be possible without the men and women working to expose irresponsible drivers. Taking a picture of a poorly parked car and uploading it online can be considered as an act of civility.
It not only makes for great online entertainment but also helps to raise awareness of the problem. This driver parked right in front of someone's driveway and got a little note of which to be ashamed. At least it's not a parking ticket!
The World as Seen By Lazy Drivers
Parking irresponsibly is undoubtedly not a disease. But it can be interpreted as a cognitive disorder. Lazy drivers seem to adopt an alternative view of the world; they see the world as a different place, a place where cities have no rules, and where two separate parking spots are one. Just like some people are color blind, some drivers seem to be parking blind.
To make sure these poor drivers feel more included in society, karma has decided to put some chalk to good use and make the real world look a little bit more like their fantasy land. Good job, karma!
Two Wrongs Make It Right?
When two highly reckless drivers end up fighting for the same parking spot, is there a winner? The award for the worst parking goes to the white car. But we think that, in the end, the massive jeep driver will be more pleased with the outcome.
But the real winner, of course, is the third vehicle, parked on the right side of the picture. Minding his own business and respecting the rules, he decided to stay within the lines. And guess what? Karma has rewarded him with a safe trip home and a sense of integrity.
Irreparably Stuck
Either this driver is the best parallel parker in the entire world, or he's paying the price for his reckless actions. We're going with the second one. The next time he feels like parking in an unauthorized spot, he will probably remember that one occasion in which his car ended up stuck between two gigantic concrete blocks.
Irreparably stuck, this driver will be forced to ask for the help of the same people who decided to leave him stranded. What if they say no? We hope he has some money for a new paint job!
Basic Parking Skills Missing
Parallel parking is arguably one of the hardest things a driver has to do. But that's why people take driving classes before being allowed to drive around town. Parking poorly due to a lack of ability is not as bad as parking poorly because of laziness.
This not-so-skilled driver gave up too soon and left his car almost in the middle of the road. Luckily, a man with a polaroid and a great sense of humor made sure his epic parallel parking fail will go down in history.
Ignoring the Signs, Paying the Price
Unless this driver doesn't know how to read, he's rightfully rewarded for his selfishness. Taking up the spots reserved for two motorcycles, this SUV will have some trouble leaving, thanks to the witty actions of an offended motorcyclist.
Just when you start thinking the world is not fair, karma leaves a little room for justice to be applied. In this case, it was just enough to fit an entire motorcycle and teach someone a much-needed lesson.
Horizontal is Not the Way!
Remember geometry classes? The subject was sometimes hard, but pretty much everyone was able to distinguish between a horizontal and a vertical line. It's one of those things that we all understand instinctively, like knowing the difference between right and left.
But when the notions of horizontal and vertical get all mixed-up inside your head, things like this can happen. This driver was not only a lousy geometry student. He seemed to have never learned the lesson of how to act politely in society. Thanks to karma, he's now getting a taste of what space confinement is all about!
Society in One Picture
Looking for a metaphor for society? What about this picture? When the rich guys take more than what they need, the less fortunate ones end up paying the price. This SUV driver was forced to park on top of the sidewalk just because of some sports-car-driving selfish person that felt the need to take two places all for himself.
Just like life in general, parking gets a lot easier when everyone is respectful and using just enough to fill their needs. This picture helps to explain why so many reckless drivers end up paying the price for their actions.
It Was On Everybody's Mind
Sometimes, a literal message is required to make irresponsible drivers learn about the harsh truth. When they park their car illegally or in a way that's damaging to others, this is the opinion most people will have of them. There's no easier way of immediately becoming an "idiot" than ignoring traffic rules.
For this karma-struck driver, getting rid of the paint will not be impossible. But it will also not be easy. Driving back home looking like a certified idiot is a fair price to pay, though.
The Black Sheep
While most parking disasters seem to be motivated by laziness, some simply have to be a call for attention. This driver (you know who we're talking about) decided to park the hard way, and we bet he got noticed.
Taking two parking spots at once, he applied a tight maneuver to go against the parking standard. Perhaps he was the fist parker in the lot, or maybe some people just shouldn't be allowed to drive.
Recurrent Offender
Sometimes, desperate measures need to be taken to correct a driver's behavior. In this case, the note says it all. This selfish driver is not only the owner of a small, easy-to-park car, but he's also a recurrent offender with no consideration for anyone else.
Most prizes are happily granted and happily received. Others not so much. We hope this one was enough to convince this driver that parking like a madman is something that affects the well-being of others. Next time, we're pretty sure his "prize" will be even better!
Love? Or Hate?
When we fall in love, we cannot stop thinking about our significant other. We want to hold hands, go for a walk in the park, get as close as possible. But is all proximity motivated by love? Or is cuddling sometimes a gesture of hate?
Proving that the line between love and hate is not as simply defined as we thought, these two cars were parked as close as possible to one another. Still, we don't believe these drivers were looking to spend some quality time together.
Justice for All
Parking enforcement drivers should be showing the people how to park correctly. Instead, they prove to be just as reckless as your ordinary driver. Struck by the gods of karma and irony, this parking enforcement driver is getting a bitter taste of his own medicine.
We guess doctors do get sick, firefighters do burn themselves, and police officers end up in jail sometimes. The most important thing is that justice is served the same for all!
A Trashy Situation
Instead of paying attention to the signs, this SUV driver decided to do what was best for himself, and himself only. Luckily, karma made sure he was trapped between two solid waste bins. He will probably not make the same mistake ever again!
Getting out will be a painful and shameful experience for this driver. But it's nonetheless fair. When you decide to park trashy, it's only just that your car ends up being treated like a dumpster. Now all he can do is make a call to the towing company!
The Other Side of Parking Revenge
Karma isn't the only factor going against terrible parkers. The parking enforcement officers also play their part, providing inconsiderate drivers with parking tickets. Working for the traffic warden department is undoubtedly safer than fighting gangs on the streets, but it also comes with its risks.
After writing tens of parking tickets to the same annoying vehicle, one parking officer is about to get unpleasantly surprised. We know this note is all about joking around, but it's always scary to get a glimpse of Billy, the Jigsaw Killer, even when you're not a Saw fan.
