App calls out bad parking for all to see
Are you sick
of those smug guys with flashy BMWs, who park their cars diagonally across two
spots? Or the fellow with the Land Rover who parks on the curb, because he can?
We’ve all seen awful parking jobs and stared helplessly at their disgraceful automotive habits. But some folks have decided to call out the bad parkers.
An online news group in Russia has created an app to call out the most hideous parkers around.
I don’t exactly speak Russian, but Mashable has translated the gist of what happens.
Users enter in the make and model of the offending vehicles, along with photographic proof of the hideous parking job.
The pictures and accompanying info then appears as an ad on the Village website – or displayed to mobile users close to the offending vehicle (based on phone location).
But that’s not enough – they really want to call out the parking douches with this app. Mobile users won’t be able to finish reading an article until they re-post an image of the offending vehicle on their Facebook page.
Have you ever wanted to call out an offending parking job? What did you do?

Would you use this app?

Yes,I would use this app. Parking across two spots is not neccessarily a bad thing if it is done in a sparsely used area of the parking lot. But NOT at Christmas time and close to the enterance. DOUCHE !!
The other one is people driving Crew Cab trucks with an 8 foot box. Parking at such an angle that makes it difficult to get in or out the parking stall. IF YOU CAN'T PARK IT, DONT FUCKING DRIVE IT !!!!!!!

as hilarious as this would be to do to someone, I'm sure they (the perpetrator) would sue you for invasion of privacy.

Who needs an app to shame these losers? The last guy I saw park across two spots in a crowded mall, I keyed his truck and slashed his tire. That's the only way people this arrogant will understand.
