Every single person on the planet reaches boiling point from time-to-time. Often the most mediocre of discrepancies triggers a swelling of anger which may explode into a bombardment of abuse and swearing. Even the most hardcore pacifist will find themselves advising an offender to go somewhere in addition to informing them that their head may have the symbolic appearance of a phallus.
For too long, shockingly disgusting parking has occurred, often unpunished. Too many offenders have parked illegally in disabled bays, left a continental gap between the wheels and the curb, occupied multiple spaces, ignored blatant signage and apparently abandoned their vehicles in obviously dangerous places. A Fixed Penalty Notice is all well and good, although financial drainage does not quite add enough shame to offenders as is necessary. Criminal damage, despite proving therapeutically satisfying, is also not an option as it proves even more antisocial than the offence itself. Somehow, there needs to be a public name and shame available to report all parking hellions.
The ones that are careless about the way they park are somewhat forgivable. At least they aren't intentionally trying to make it difficult for other people to find a free space. It's the ones that deliberately park their cars precisely in the middle of two spaces, because their cars are just too posh to risk having us hoi polloi breathe on them, that really earn the cunt parking title. I have been tempted more than once to jab a key as hard as I could into the side of one, or kick out a light, to teach them a lesson.

My neighbour, who has access to a garage, a drive and two adjacent street parking spots parks her single shitty ol Renault Clio as close as she can to the boundary line with our property where we have a one car drive and one small on street spot to park both our cars. Not only does she do this but she also manages to leave it on average 18 inches from the kerbside.
I'm not so much surprised that my workplace cosses to block content from the site but I am surprised that it only blocks the pictures and not the text.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I park my truck that way...because I have little choice. It does not FIT in a single space: with the rear bumper on the dividing line, the front sticks out about three feet (two feet of truck and a snowplow hoist). Both side mirrors (wide West Coast towing mirrors) usually overhang the lines.
