Found in LA: We Know You Went to USC, But Where Did You Learn How to Park?

If you're going to park like this, you deserve to be publicly humiliated.
Admittedly, this kind of douchebaggery is nothing new in our me-me-me four-wheeled town. LAist Featured Photos Pool frequent contributor mil8 shares with us this snap of a recent parking lot head-scratcher between a very badly parked Honda and his own vehicle. The pic comes with the following title: "hello honda, nice parking job. I was here first (hi) over here... next to you... parked nicely next to the wall in a COMPACT spot. Were you *really* in that much of a hurry to park like this? KTHXBYE."
We'll grant that at least the Honda in question is more of a compact than the usual Escalades and Hummers that bulldoze their bulky frames into the slender spots supposedly set aside for the smaller cars out there, but agree with our photog that a can opener might be the only means of getting back into his poor wedged vehicle. It's doubtful we'll ever stop seeing this happen, nor the inevitable questioning: WHY, PEOPLE, WHY IS THIS NECESSARY?

Yeah. No question who's the douchebag in this photo. Which reminds me to properly tag such flickr photos: "niceparkingasshole."

Hmm, I'm usually not that anal over shittily parked cars if there's a lack of available parking or when there was another car parked like that next to them (causing a cascade effect of sorts, sometimes).
but man, that car...
On the flip side, I've occasionally wanted to park like an asshole next to assholes..hmm..
