You can't park there, mate

For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

I didn’t think three cars is enough to create a gridlock, but what do I know. Yesterday three very ‘creative’ drivers managed just that right in front of me.

I wish I had a picture to share as it was that special. I don’t, so here is a schematic for your enjoyment, horror, disgust, or perhaps lols as the younglings like to say these days.

Seems like 2 was the asshole here. 1 was waiting for 3, and 2 likely wasn't paying attention.

Having seen it unfold, I’d struggle to assign the blame to a single party, because they were all dumber than the others. Here is how it happened:

  • 1 stopped far too early in the junction to wait for 3, which was an entirely unnecessary wait anyway (1 being dumb)
  • 2 moved to the lane even though 1 was blocking them (2 being dumb) — I presume 2 did that because 3 was far away and surely 1 would make their turn well before 3 arrived at the scene
  • 3 drove close to 2 and blocked 1 instead of allowing 1 to turn, thus completing the gridlock (and trifecta of dumb)

And this is how we have reached the state in which we currently find ourselves; an infinite loop of dumbness!

Edit: too many ins. I’m dumb.

It can’t be helped, but there’s a lot of it about
