Hahahaha.
Damn, you beat me to it, lol
hahahaha
I thought people had to learn how to drive and [b]park[/b] before getting a license (it’s written in AE, because no one in Britain would pass the test without hitting this lot at first attempt). Or they should fail at the driving test, at least.
Only in the US and A! I’m so glad I’m outta there. Haha.
omg, omg, omg
Look, you’re trying to parallel park your car. You get out and it’s 4 feet from the curb, so you decide to try again. Why I don’t know, you weren’t capable when you tried last time and have done nothing to improve that situation, but fine. Tenacity is worth some points too, I guess. Anyway, you get back in your car and alternate between Reverse and Drive for a few minutes, then check again and can’t figure out why you’re not closer to the curb? Really??
YOU FORGOT TO TURN THE WHEEL, MORON!
Just because you ran over the same arc over and over again doesn’t mean you accomplished anything. I mean come on, she does this repeatedly. If it wasn’t presented in time elapsed fast forward it would be suicidally painful to watch. It almost is anyway. Why didn’t she let her passenger give it a try, it’s not like they could do any worse.
The closing statement? “Like a glove.” They spare Avis and burn out another Failbooking Become a Fan button (why would I want to become a fan, don’t people throw excrement at fans???) and the entire train wreck is salvaged by a Moomin powering with “The education system needs a rev-iew”.
Painful, wasn’t it. Want it in High Def?
BRAVO! BRAVO! AUTHOR! AUTHOR!
*standing ovation*
*pssst*
*looks at last post*
*barfs*
Oh yes!
*puts up sign*
“The Doctor is In”
The whole time I was screaming, “CUT THE WHEEL! CUT THE WHEEL! CUT THE F***ING WHEEL!!!!”
*applauds*
*would whistle, but is disturbingly unable to do so*
*hands nightshayde one of those noisemakers-in-a-can thingies*
I can’t whistle either.
It’s also good to note that there is a time stamp on the video. This went on for 15! minutes.
Hey, it looked fine to me the first time. I’ve have left it there.
I agree. It needed to be straightened a little but other than that she had plenty of room.
Ultimately, she did leave it there. It just took a few dozen attempts to come to that conclusion.
I got motion sickness just watching the back-n-forth thing.
Calm down you idiot.
*give Gordo a coma*
*gives Gordo a coma as AA requested*
*pulls the plug*
Oooopsy!!!!
Amen! Oy, I about yelled at the screen “TURN THE WHEEL”! Isn’t a definition of insanity repeating the same actions expecting a different outcome? Ugh.
I thought the definition of insanity was the urge to yell at inanimate objects.
@Zombie… i completely agree with you. although if it was high def, we probably would’ve seen that her brain was only processing half a thought. after all it’s so obvious that she shouldn’t be on the road anyways. especially if she can’t turn the wheel the other way.
women drivers… i tell ya.
^repeat offender
Some women drivers can parallel park. It’s my theory the ability to learn how to do so is on a recessive gene X-related gene.
If a man has it, he’s golden. Women however need to get the gene from both their mom and dad.
I was lucky. My mother was not very practical in many ways but she could parallel park and so could my dad. So I learned how very easily :=)
Your logic is a bit flawed there.
Wow! Next kitty will explain the meaning of life.
*noms on popcorn while waiting*
Monty Python already did that.
You can (attempt) to sound scientific, but it doesn’t mean you are correct. What you are missing is the statement “studies show” or “90% of experts agree”.
I’m enjoying everyone’s conclusive scientific logic stating kitty’s comment otherwise. Or all all of you just too smart to provide any because you can prove things with no words. Must be telepathy.
I’ll be sure and put that in my next grant proposal.. er, I mean comment. Along with a couple of Venn diagrams. And a soundbyte from Adam Savage.
Read my lips. It’s a theory. You don’t have to prove anything with a theory.
Um, actually, theories are supported by some evidence, they’re just not concrete like laws are. The word you’re looking for is hypothesis.
Fail scientific knowledge is fail.
I think it’s more accurate to say most women (and men) can master it, particularly if their tutor bothers to show them how. It’s just a very easily spotted few who give them a bad name. Worse still when they can’t be bothered to go learn once they’ve done it badly the one time.
Most licensed female drivers I know could get that car into a far smaller space without much difficulty (and I’ve been the passenger when it’s happened on a few occasions).
It’s odd however that you very very rarely see men having this trouble
*in a parallel universe, quotes a few scientific studies about the differential wiring of typical male/female brains for spatial vs emotional awareness and the like*
this is me!!!
a universe of parallels
See some Riemann Geometry before you go all Euclid on us, stud.
Give Einstein enough string, he could have played dice with you.
I see you’ve studied sum math, God
So that’s why God is all knowing!
Which, I might add, is different from Know-it-all.
I learned that the hard way.
I knew that.
*giggles*
Women driving rings a bell.
Obvious trolling brings a smell.
The clip was funny, however I knew it would bring out the misogynists.
These always do. Without fail.
I figured if we ignored them they would go away, but apparently I’m the only one to suffer that thought.
Oh, I dunno…these misogynist trolls generate enough epic fail to compensate, I think.
Had to google that…
You don’t know what that means?
After googling it, she should. If she doesn’t now, she’s in trouble. In trouble with the English Police
*sirens in distance*
Alright… who called the English Police? Leila!
I have a stash of unused punctuation under my bed
I am no English Poice. It’s not even my first language so I can’t be the enforcer.
I didn’t say you were. I said you called them. Unless you’re undercover. You’re not… undercover, are you?
Hey, what’s your first language?
My first language is English.
Uh, what?
I was just attempting to follow that thread and got tangled up.
Oh I misread your earlier comment. You said “It’s” not your first language, not “english”.
My bad, my bad…
I wonder where they speak It’s.
No you didn’t misread it Garf. Or did you?
Who’s to say really…
Anyone who is fond of the word ‘really’?
I still don’t know what that means!!!
oh the horror!!!!
People who hate women. All women. And it’s a deep and seething hatred.
Oh I figured out what misogynists ment (had to cut and paste)
Was trying to figure out what “that” ment.
Is discombobulated. ( a pretty normal thing for me)
You’re in good company in these parts then!
Yes she is.
I was just teasing you MM.
*squeeze*
*squeeeeezes L*

My struggle too MM.
*comfortSqueeze*
Ewww ‘cuz you’re ugly.
When I pulled my hamstring, I went to a misogynist.
I visited mine for menstrual problems.
*snork*
Did they give them to you?
I promise the moment I get them I’ll pass them on to you
But I’m a lad. I don’t have a… men…stru…s.
But that doesn’t mean you’ll never suffer menstrual problems!
Hmmm…

A little part of me did, watching the @#$% thing.
This is utter madness!!! How hard can it be?
This isn’t madness! This is Sparta!

Cookies? By that I mean, do you have any cookies? I don’t want no IAMS, k?
*stumbles in, bleary-eyed*
Gee, I hope I didn’t say anything yesterday to embarrass myself.
*yawn*
Anyway, ZA’s clickie shows another of those infamous women drivers. This one’s behind the wheel of a funny car at a drag strip. (uh oh). The race starts and we quickly see that the woman driver apparently has a bit of a lead foot, because she totally blows away the other driver and pulls a solid, flawless win. The camera then cuts to a bunch of men in her pit crew hootin’ and hollerin’ cuz their lady driver just won them a paycheck.
Sheesh, women drivers indeed…
*squeeze*
Thank you! I wish I could see it but the narration is plenty good for now.
*squeezesback*
Glad to help. I have a special place in my heart for anything that challenges stereotypes…
Like when I went to the dealership and I said I wanted to test drive a car. Gentleman shows me an automatic. I said, I want to test drive a standard. He was like … huuuuuuh? Had the audacity to run it by my husband. My sweet husband goes, you heard what she said.
I would have left immediately and gone to a different dealership. AND told him why I was leaving.
The car we wanted was sitting there… in that showroom or else we would have walked away. The best part is when I was driving — somewhat erratically and fast cuz, you know, I was testing — he confessed that he didn’t know how to drive a stick shift and that he wished he knew how. I told him at his age it was probably too late. Okay, I said that in my head.
Wow, he really checked in with your hubby? What a dork. Though I’d be tempted to do as Avis suggested, I know how it is if you’ve already driven all the way there and found a car you think you might like. Sometimes you’ve gotta just put up with the ignorance…
It would’ve been fun to mess with him during the test drive: purposely stall it like five times in a row before you even leave the dealership… then several more times while you’re out driving. Maybe take off from a stop sign in 2nd gear and shift to 5th instead of 3rd once or twice. Finally, lurch the car back into the parking lot and kill the engine by “accidentally” letting off the clutch before you’ve shut it off… then turn to him and tell him enthusiastically “I’LL TAKE IT!”
(and of course, you’d burn out of the parking lot like a pro after the deal is done).
Hee! I once had three thousand dollars in cash, and went out around town just looking for an inexpensive work car, nothing fancy. I got to this one dealer, and he showed me a nice car, but it was white. I told him I didn’t want a white car. He said for three thousand dollars, I can’t be picky about color. I said, “Yes, I can”, and promptly left.
At my next stop, I found a very hot little Pontiac Sunbird, and bought it then and there.
It was white.
Sometimes, we make exceptions.
I love disproving the “feeble female” stereotype when men treat me that way. My two favorite such incidents occurred in a pool hall and a poker game…aaaah, memories!
(Seriously, peeps…the best revenge of all is to walk away with all the guys’ money having won it fair and square.)
Heeeeee!!! It was purrrrrrrrfect timing.
*squeeze*
Don’t know, don’t have a drivers licence

Actually, I never took a good look at NC’s avatar before.
*snork!*
And when did “Non” become “No”, or am I seeing things?
… some kinda non-non-starter …
As far as I can tell it was always without the N.
I was afraid of that…should have site searched beforehand. Thanks, Aja, and sorry, NoC!
It’s okay A.A.
My plan is working. . .
I didn’t just say that aloud, did I?
Blast!
*attempts to hoof own butt*
(just don’t get hoof in mouth after that

*shrug*
I hadn’t really thought that hard about it. I just knew I wasn’t lazy enough to go to LMGTFY.com.
Ty Z.A., guess I should get a clearer picture. . . blue ship on blue sky can be confusing
Ha! I just checked out LMGTFY.com. That’s pretty freakin’ awesome.
I think it’s pretty clear. I just need a little Karmic embarrassment once in a while to remind me such comments don’t become me.
Well that’s good, since comments becoming people is exactly what we DON’T need right now
Oh God! NC disintegrates!
Nope, Just trying to get all those darned holes out of my identity
I don’t have a drivers license either, you really don’t need one in Chicago.
your in Chicago too?
Man… I don’t have an “in Chicago.”
awww Bugga!
Yep, I am, I watch the accidents on LSD every time it rains.
I live by what used to be kiddie land.
I have no idea what kiddie land might or might not have been. I’m right on the lake.
city girl. lol
How about, I live by Melrose Park?
Oh you two, get a room
That statement has a whole different meaning here in California.

I’m sorry, I thought this was John Malkovich.
*promptly departs*
Heck, if you can afford to pay for parking in Chicago, you can probably afford to hire a driver.
This is VERY true, ‘specially if you live downtown.
I hate parking downtown. The new meters are ridiculously expensive, and the garages aren’t any better. Bottom line, if you park in Chicago, it’s going to cost you $20.
I’m glad I don’t work downtown anymore. The closest I get to downtown is Halsted and Addison.
I live and work out in the burbs. The only time I venture into the city is for special events like concerts, sporting events, and museums.
Why can’t I live in a cool place like Chicago? Or a place where the only culture is in yogurt?
*not in yogurt.
Again, what?
Ah, I figured there might be a missing word or two there.
These … *puts fingers on monitor* … don’t work very well on the keyboard most of the time.
I walk up that way almost every weekend. But not when it’s raining.
Now that there are more than two or three Chicagoans, we should try for a meet up. Elsa Mama is also here in town.
That would be cool. Something to think about.
Yes, yes I am…. I live in the burbs (Downers Grove) but work in the city — I take the train!
Aha! You’ve been lurking!
Nicetoseeya, Elsa_Mama!
*squeeze*
Hey there pretty Blue Lady!! I commented some too …
You’re missing one the most fun sections, at least go all the way to Halsed and Clark.
Minimum. That’s why I don’t understand the price hikes and service cuts in the CTA. I mean, you can get just about anywhere in Chicago by only taking the “L” and one bus.
I took the L to work everyday. Talk about some creepy people.
The passengers or the employees?
MM, I bet the answer she’s looking for is “yes”.
YES! hahahaaa
ZA, you know me too well!!
In and out, and in and out, and in and out. It’s almost like she’s trying to…um…ne’mind.
Parallel park?
She is known to parallel park all night long.
OOH YA!!
*wiggles eyebrows*
But it does not look like she got any satisfaction from all her effort …
Well, sometimes it’s just for the other person.
Giving is good!
Unless it’s a killer disease.
Hrmmm… well maybe her passenger enjoys watching and so was having fun ….
lucky 13 minutes.
Give it a second and it’ll be double lucky.
I think I would’ve given up after five minutes. Or decided the heck with it, it’s good enough.
Yeah, that’s my theory on parallel parking.
Accept my limitations.
Accept no substitutes!

WOOOTY-WOOT-TOOT, MOOMIN!
WooHooMoo…min!
Yay! WOOHOOOO MOOMIN!!!
I think she’s just being too picky. I suck at parallel parking, too, though.
It’s really not that hard. You just gotta practice it a few times. And not be afraid to drive right at the curb. The key is to cut in deep on that first approach. If you do it right you won’t have to go back and forth at all.
First make sure your car can fit in the space.
Awesome soundtrack – if the video wasn’t fast forwarded, I would have loved to listen to the extended version.
Btw – what is the song called?
Yeah, I would also like to know the song title/artist name
You Drive Me Crazy

That wasn’t on the Stay Hungry album, was it?
It was on “No Parking”, their third, I think.
Yay, Moomin!!!!!!!

Can I have some of those marshmallows if I move your post for you?
I don’t know, Ms B. It’s getting messy up there.

This is every driver in my area. Sad.
Having resided in several different regions, I’ve come to the conclusion that everybody thinks the drivers in their area are the worst. For instance, here we commonly refer to bad drivers as ‘California drivers’. This is despite the fact that Utah drivers are clearly worse. California drivers may be impatient and aggressive, but at least they are usually competent.
Please see below. You are sooooooo mistaken. At least until you drive in TX first.
Well you’ll note that I never said Utah drivers were the worst, just worse than California drivers. Never having been to Texas I cannot compare the two.
Wait a tic…you live in Utah?
No. My parents moved there a few years ago. My father works in the x-ray department and often regales me with tales of the auto wrecks that come through his department. For instance, there was one corner in town where they installed a traffic light. Before this, people had a strange obsession with making a left turn there right in front of oncoming traffic.
I don’t know about Utah, but I would have to say North American drivers are bad. We don’t receive proper driver training. Passing a driving test in North America is simple.
That’s not to say other countries don’t have bad drivers, but we could stand some improvement.
Part of the reason I’ve been getting such a kick out of the show “America’s Worst Driver”.
It’s every driver in Texas.
*flees from DITHT*
Ah, but California has had more fatalities due to driving accidents than Texas.
*flees from Leila*
Total or per capita? Because I !mag!ne there are more cars on the road in California than there are in Texas.
Probably more people trying to drive on LSD here too.
*Sprinkles DE everywhere* There, that should care care of all these flees, I’ve never seen such a terrible infestation!
Very good point there Dragon but let me assure you that when I say there are bad drivers in TX, they are reeeeeeeeeeeealy bad. I can see how CA would be known for that but we can argue that their traffic is horrific there almsot all the time.
We have traffic jams here in the mornings but I am referring to time when I am just driving. There could be no other car on the other lane and they will merge right IN your lane and you end up slamming your brakes. They cut you off for no reason whatsoever. It’s insane!!!! Heaven forbid you should signal to change lanes or merge onto the freeway…they are just plain RUDE!!!!
We have a name for that down here. We call it being L.A.’d.
‘Nuff said.

Don’t they still test parallel parking to get your license? It was the most important part when took my driving test.
A very good question.
It’s not part of the test in the states.
Geez…it was when I took it. I practiced parallel parking for hours and hours to pass the test, so it’s never been a problem for me.
It was for me too, and the person administering the test let me try it twice.
Driving tests vary by state. It was most certainly required in Pennsylvania when I took it.
Here the “challenging part” is the 3 point turn. Otherwise if you can keep your car between the lines, obey traffic laws and not run over people on the sidewalk, they’ll give you a license to drive.
I’m guessing you took the test at the same DMV as I did. The one behind what used to be CompUSA.
Nope, downtown. I’m not sure the Goleta branch was even there at the time.
It was for me. I’m actually good at it, too.
Definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. TURN THE WHEEL YOU MORON!
Ah, we have the very definition.
It’s like s/he read the blog, then summarized. How kind.
Typical women drivers.
SNAP!
Crackle!
*twists Blade’s head until it goes …*
POP!
Time for lunch?
Turkey’s done!
QUAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!
Obvious troll is obviously dull.
Narf!
What is the name of that track??? Please! I must know!! Awesome tune!!!
FAKE. Women’t aren’t allowed to drive!
And illiterates aren’t allowed to post.
*boots troll off site*
*giggles*
*throws crackers at lawless*
*squawks*
Your mom isn’t allowed to drive!
He he he, I’ve still got it.
*Kif Kroker style sigh*
Come on ZA! Mother jokes are totally justifiable against trolls. Have you no heart!?
…sorry… I didn’t mean…
*waves goodbye*
My friends are abducting me and taking me to centre of the city to celebrate Queens-night
Let’s see if I can score some food-poisoning and maybe find a new bike. Talk to you guys in a couple of hours.
Toodles!! Have fun storming the castle!!
Koninginnedag!!! Enjoy!
What a perfect celebration for our MerQueen! Have fun!
I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to wish you luck on the food poisoning or not.
Koninginnedag!!! Enjoy!
Spotted the first drunken idiots parading in cars already.

Now I’m seeing parallels everywhere.
Parallax — don’t do it
When you want to to go to it
I thought it was just me. Now I’m worried.
*looks at Dock*
*sees Parallels icon there*
*
safety**can’t figure out how anyone else sees it*
*curses Winblows again*
Remember: don’t drink and post!
Pah!
*opens bottle*
This could get interesting.
*slips something into Arthur’s bottle*
*hopes for drugs*
*sips*
It’s Dragon Grog!!!
Uh-oh. This could be very interesting indeed!
I knew SOMEone had been in my stash!
*sends Ms B to the naughty corner*
*gets out the video camera and trains it on Arthur*
*orders copies of videotape*
how does a DVR capture any kind of video? does it have a built in camera or something?
Uh…
The answer is YES Garf. Say it!!!!
it!!!!
Heeeee!!!!
7.8
*sneaks into NS’s post*
*swipes the ‘i’, replaces it with an ‘I’*
Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-arn
Dang.
Yes.
I’m pretty sure that was all drawn in crayon.
Before going any further, it should be explained to you that DVR is an acronym for Digital Video Recorder.
I’ll wait for that so soak in.
A DVR is usually set to record TV shows, but it can definitely be hooked up to a camera. If you are asking about the inner workings of how the video gets captured, it’s all black magic as far as I understand (yeah, that means I don’t know).
thats either the worst male driver in the world or else the best female driver in the world, lols
I am a woman and I confirm that women have less motor skills than men. -End of message-
Actually, this has nothing to do with motor skills, but more with spatial orientation. Women do not have any more difficulty turning a giant wheel than men (motor skills), it a woman’s ability to orient herself to space, picture shapes in her mind, etc., that some people claim is inferior to a man’s. I don’t believe it’s true.
Actually, it has been proven in studies that men have superior spatial ability, and as a matter of fact one of the tests in these studies was parallel parking. On the other hand, women are much better in multitasking than men.
As a science teacher I have to wade in here and say that what has been proven is that the AVERAGE man has superior spatial ability – but most individuals are not average. There is huge overlap; about 1/3 of women have superior spatial ability to about 1/2 of men. So, knowing an individual’s gender does not predict their spatial abilities very much. Generally, life experiences (like, say, having had a driving instructor who taught you how to parallel park) have a greater effect than gender.
Don’t know about the “multitasking” but there is one area of spatial skills were women (ON AVERAGE) score better than men: perceiving and remembering locations of objects. Also, women score better (ON AVERAGE) at all measures of hearing and olfaction, and perception of fine visual detail. Also, all measures of language skills. Also, fine motor skills. And arithmetic. The men (ON AVERAGE) win at perception of a faint light, judging the trajectory of a flying object, most spatial tests that don’t involve memory of an object’s location, and geometry.
Here’s the weirdest part: of all the gender differences, spatial ability is the one that has the strongest correlation to testosterone level. Freakily enough it actually varies with T moment-to-moment. Men score worse on spatial tests in the afternoon, when their T levels are lower, than in the morning. Here’s the freakiest thing, give a group of women a little shot of T (not even very much) and within 2 hours they are scoring as well as the men on spatial tests! is that not bizarre!
I am a girl btw and I am a FANTASTIC parallel parker. If there were a Nobel Prize in parallel parking I would have won long ago. I’m hoping it’s due to my growing-up-driving-in-Boston life experiences, and not my T level.
It looked like they were parking fine. I don’t know why they kept moving it.
Yeah, she seemed to be about the same distance from the curb as the person in front of her, but maybe the camera angle was misleading.
am I the only one who imagined benny hill music playing in the background?
I actually got pissed while watching this
Hey, it’s 5:00 somewhere.
I’m suprized they didn’t wear a groove in the pavement!
who cares how people dive, get over it. you have to drive in this world and some people suck at it, so who cares!
Somebody’s awfully defensive!
Reminds me of that chick that drove circles around the fuel-taps because the tank trim was always on the wrong side!
Is there a link to this? I’d like to see it.
Looks like this woman… *puts on sunglasses* …needs a park collar.
I might as well have been watching a video of myself. This is me when I try ti parallel park. Though I generally give up before a couple of minutes.
I’ve heard driving school sucks in the US.
Back when I was learning to drive my instructor never taught me to parallel park. I just had to figure it out after I got my license. That’s probably why I suck at it.
There are many places in the US where having to parallel park is very rare. When you live in NYC, you have to parallel park almost everywhere you go, with very little room, so it is part of the driving test, and most instructors teach it.
When I first got my permit, I had to parallel park in a tight space in downtown Seattle, and I did a good job. Some people should not be permitted to drive!
oO”
haha
yeah, well women
A bit of knowledge in Geomatry would go a long way i this situation….:))
I have NEVER seen anything more frustrating
INSANITY = Doing the same thing OVER AND OVER and excepting a DIFFERENT result!
expecting *spelling fail! =D
seriously, how does she expect to make any progress when she keeps her wheels in the same direction and just goes back and forth?
I sometimes take a long time to parallel park, but never this long… and I do it in Brooklyn where I literally have about 6 inches of wiggle room to get myself situated correctly. This woman had like 10 feet to work with, what the hell? I could have done that in 10 second flat. >.>
wow – world record!
I wonder how long it took her to get out again xD
LOL sometimes i dont understand girls.
What is the name of the song???!!!!
Damn women drivers.
Wow…this isn’t funny at all. The poor woman’s probably got OCD and has to go through this same ordeal whenever she’s parallel parking. I’ll bet you wouldn’t find it funny if you had to waste over ten minutes every time you decided to park your car. Normally I’m a big fan of failblog, but this is just in poor tastes.
Does her steering wheel not turn left or is she just a complete dolt?
This is what happens when women leave the kitchen.
say, do you americans buy your drivers license at Kwik-e-marts or what??
“It might help to turn the wheel…” she might have thought after continuously driving back and forth for 5-8 minutes straight.
Well, ‘thinking’.. That might be a little too generous.
thats why women shouldnt drive…. they should make me dinner (i keed i keed)
These people make me so god damn angry
Why are you all surprised, it’s a women driver.
Man i would’ve Lol’d so hard if she ended up ramming the car infront of her after all that time, HAHA
how long dose it take to park a car????
Take away this person’s license. PLEASE!
2 fattie dumbasses trying to use their brain…
how did the driver got her licence?
These people make me so god damn angry
Wow this post has some serious content, I’ve just started blogging and this will be really helpful with my new site.
ur mom
This was utterly painful to watch.
