This is how you park in some of the parking garages in D.C. Everyone is pretty much parked in and the attendants move the cars outta the way if someone needs to get out. It fits more cars that way!
I don’t see the reason why the douchebag parker needs to leave their keys. I can key their car and write “W*nker” with my own keys thank you very much.
Actually, some of the parking garages are so limited on space that the spaces are doubled up, so you literally have to block people and the attendants move your car if the someone else needs out.
its still stupid, since when you car gets stolen the insurance wont pay anything. another solution to that problem, put the car into neutral so it can be pushed away. in france they do that on every parkinspot. instead of pushing it with hand they do it with cars, bumper to bumper
But to be fair, those are French cars. If a Peugeot or Renault gets a hole ripped in it by a bollard or five it’s not really much of a loss. If somebody did that to my Fiat Panda though, it would be a serious crime.
(Because it would take days to clean up the pile of rust.)
I paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64-GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $645 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, {T a g C e n t} . {c o m}
nah dawg, it’s real yo. I paid $1.87 for an iPhone 5GS 128GB and my dog loves her new HD collar-cam that we got for $1.74 they arrived by UPS. I also will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch black “martial aid” to my boss for $65 which only cost me $6 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, {Y o D a w g} . {c o m}
This sign is in parking garages, where a slip is needed to get out. Someone has to have a slip to get in or out. Obviously you could “upgrade” however doing so makes it obvivous when you’re car is left behind with license plate.
Also side note, if you go a parking garage, don’t leave the slip in the dashboard. It’s the most idiotic thing to do, as someone can just break in, use the slip to get out. Without the slip, it’s a little more difficult (usually requiring ID + fee + license plate being written down).
don’t blame the blackberry bro. You know perfectly well that you can edit what you write so don’t give us this “wah wah, but it was my BLACKBERRY ok” h0rsesh1t.
We’re sick of you whining about your first-world BS problems and blaming you’re stupidity on everyone and everything but yourself.
Own the problem, bro. Don’t you effing DARE blame the blackberry.
Have you used a BlackBerry? There’s a reason RIM is going down, worst user interface of all time. Bloody thing jumps all crazy trying to simply go back a line. Some idiot designed it with a trackball and a 1 1/2″ screen. Who ever thought that was a good idea? Only idiots would design that. It’s unusable by everyone except midgets and severally near-sighted people.
This is actually very typical in Okinawa. It blew me away when I saw my friend get in the car that was blocking hers, move it out of the way and get back in her own to drive off. Hard to steal a car and get away with it on such a small island I suppose.
ok so your car may not get stolen but do you really trust some stranger to drive your car out of a parking spot without causing it some damage? What if they back it right into a pole or someone else’s car and leave you with the repercussions. I would feel really uncomfortable with this practice and would probably just park somewhere else…
I’ve seen this happen in ambulance stations – the cars belonging to the paramedics might block in the ambulances, as there is limited space, so leaving it like this helps
I don’t see the fail here. There are plenty of situations in which it would be reasonable to leave the keys in the car so that someone could move it. For example, maybe this sign is in a parking garage where only the valets move the cars, so this sign is just a reminder to the valets.
If this were a wider-angle shot revealing the sign to be in an unattended open-air parking lot in the South Bronx, then I’d agree that it’s a big fail.
There is a heap of this in carparks in South East Asia also, Thailand, Vietnam etc all have signs like this, Basically if you cant get a legitimate spot, you park someone in and either leave the car in netural with the doors open, or leave the keys. Mind you they also have a culture of not stealing (unless you count charging foreginers 10x the price for stuff), so its a lot safer than doing it in our “civilised” countries
When I was working as a valet, we had signs like this posted for the other valets that were a little less than able to use common sense. If anything, the fail here is the lack of context that allows idiots to make jokes.
If the sign was in French then it would have been normal – well back in the 60′s
to park you pulled up at the back of the line & pushed bumper to bumper till you had enough room – cars were not locked and keys were frequently left if vehicle had the chance of blocking something unintentionally

Very nice post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to mention that I have truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your feed and I am hoping you write once more soon!
Above second!
Below greatness!
But yet last in life. . I kid you’re a real trooper
Sidenote: surely this post is a win?
Yeah, I was thinking it should be a “Not living with a pack of degenerate savages” Win.

then the attendants should just park the cars themselves.
Win not fail :/
I concur, sarcasm WIN!
Indeed. Obvious sarcasm, thus WIN!
I guess this eluded the poster, or whoever came up with the title.
Indeed it is a sarcasm Win. Failblog fails yet again. Have they finally let the chimps run the site?
Indeed. Either sarcasm or trust win. But win it is.

i would leave my keys…and door….

+ several internets for you.
WIN!
For those of you saying this is acceptable, why not just leave the keys with the attendant instead of leaving the car open. Wouldn’t that be safer?
There may not be an attendant.

You’re?
auto correct + typing on a blackberry is not fun. “your car” not “you’re car”
don’t blame the blackberry bro. You know perfectly well that you can edit what you write so don’t give us this “wah wah, but it was my BLACKBERRY ok” h0rsesh1t.

Really? I thought it was pure irony.
Other parts of Japan as well. Not to mention you’ll often see people leave their cars running and unlocked when they go into the convenience store.
Failer fail, sarcasm WIN.
This.
Lol this is actually very common practice and cars are not getting stolen
ok so your car may not get stolen but do you really trust some stranger to drive your car out of a parking spot without causing it some damage? What if they back it right into a pole or someone else’s car and leave you with the repercussions. I would feel really uncomfortable with this practice and would probably just park somewhere else…

thanks for ur in depth analasys but no one really cares
More like “not blocking other people in” win.
Sarcasm WIN!
Is there anyone that stupid to actually follow the directions of this sign…?
How is this a fail? Sarcasm win!

I find it funny how some people from “civilized countries” (as someone previously said) can’t concieve this being real
Seems legit.
well anyone who deliberately blocks other cars kinda deserves it
Their obviously NOT in Detroit.
how bout…………((no?))
so true ;P
