Parking tutorial-help for idiots!

I just saw this and thought it was pretty funny.
This guy has come up with a flyer that you can print and then put on the windshield of those 'gits who have never learned to park!
Go check out the site, you can print the flyer. The flyer will direct the recipient to the site that illustrates what those lines painted on the ground are intended for!

I need one that says jerk if you line the back of your car up with the sign we can get five cars out here, but when you pull up too far you screw your neighbors, and if my car gets broken into because I had to park in a dark ally instead of in front of my apartment I am going to destroy your car set it on fire pee and poo on its ashed put them in a paper bag set it on fire ring your door bell and run away, only to take a picture of you steping on your burnt car poo bag then use it as my holiday card and mail it to your house with a photoshoped picture of you with another woman and address the letter to your wife then hook up with her and send a picture of me with her to you.

Not that I am bitter about my neighbor messing up the parking for me or anything And for the record I am all talk and no action and my neighbor are two guys so I would have to switch teams to hook up with the non-parker's mate so that really would not happen, but I do feel better now that I typed all that out. May everybody find a perfect parking spot and may peace on earth good will toward man rain upon us in this holiday season.

awesome. I wish that they would of had REAL pictures of ppl sticking them on cars rather than photoshops. I'm not sure how much trouble you could get into though for sticking it on someone's car. I think i'll stick with the flyer.

Years ago there used to be one with a picture of MIckey Mouse that said something of the effect,"Next time leave me a can opener so I can get into my car"
It wasnt that nice but you get the idea!

That's got to be one of the best crafted single sentences I've ever read. Brilliant!

lol nice... I just worry about them little ones who may read it as well. It is a better option than the flier for the iparklikeanidiot site though, my little brother could have made something better.

I hate it when people do this, but.... We'll get with Drew and have a couple at the Inn Place.

Where we will properly park our MINIs within the yellow lines.

There's some other pretty funny stuff on that site. I enjoyed the articles "How To Cut A Freaking Avocado" and "How To Cut A Freaking Mango." Funny dude.

Okay all...I created an "Unofficial Motoring Citation" for those times when the friendly isn't quite what you had in mind.....it's a bigger download, so you'll have to get it from here (about 3.5 megs):

Enjoy!
