Not really bad parking, bit he drove a few blocks with cars avoiding him before he realized he was going the wrong way on a one way street

That last one, would have parked on the L side of the Porsche close enough he would have to crawl over from the passenger side.

The world must learn to expand automotive ownership regarding the riddle, "What's the difference between a Porsche owner and a Porcupine?".

Not technically two parking spaces...

Teaches her kids to use the crosswalk, but doesn't teach them where to park.

At least she's pulled over to the side of the road. We used to live across the street from a public middle school. Parents just "park" in the middle of the street, waiting for their kids. Oblivious (or not caring--this is LA, after all) to the line of cars behind them. People would also parallel park in front of my driveway, and then refuse to move when I would come home and try to pull into my own driveway.

It's possible. I don't usually give the general public that much credit, but it's possible.

My favorite is when two folks that know each other are going opposite directions on the road and stop to chat with cars behind them in both directions.
