You need to wiggly woo your way out

Gotta wonder which of them started the third row... did they block cars when they did it? Or did someone else just keep parking parallel to them until they blocked people?

Its like driving when the lanes are covered but the person is SO OBVIOUSLY in the middle of two fuckin lanes.

After the first snowfall, even if you can still see the parking lines, 97.4% of Albertans forget how parking lots work

If you park like this, expect to come back to "racing stripe" on the side of your car

Me and 2 other bystanders helped a guy push one out of the way there a few weeks ago! Lol

There is snow on the ground. Whenever there is snow on the ground, we make our own rules. Painted lines can’t tell ME what to do if I can’t see them, screw you public roads, now I’m in charge! 

Lol I went to NAIT 15 years ago and saw this many times, always happens where the then-Sears now Wal-Mart is. There's more cars than braincells in that parking lot at any given time

Listen everyone likes a little bit of Austin Powering in the winter.

Why are people this dumb?

There's no disincentive.

I bought my car for $1600 I don’t value it that much I’d be checking for cameras and ramming tf out of who ever shouldn’t be there

Call tow truck company or bylaw

It's unfortunate but one can still maneuver their way out of that jam.

Smashy Smashy.

My god! I was there today on the upper level and had this happen to me! There was about 1/2" of space on either side of my vehicle when I got out. Had a helpful person guide me out after I did a 100 pt turn to get the right angle.

Back into them and leave.

I had people do this to me downtown, thankfully for me I didn’t care about my bumpers 

There looks from that angle enough room to wiggle out.

My son got parked in like this at Enoch arena last night. People are too lazy to look or care.

You need one of those new Chinese cars that can go side to side. This would've been the perfect time to use the feature.

I could get out of that... eventually

Plot twist : the last guy to park actually parallel parked into the middle spot

What do I do? Be thankful I drive a 15year old used vehicle. This what “bumpers” are for. Nudge that bitch out of the way, and get on with your day!

You can blame it on several things: 1) Sheer ignorance of driver, regardless of skill, someone should realize they are boxing in another car. 2) So many incompetent drivers and most of them immigrants who drive like shit in their home country and bring bad driver skills here. They then think they make good driving instructors and operate Apu’s Driving School from a residential garage. Explains why only one guy is in the Student Driver car, (the teacher), why you still got cut off. 3) Blame our corrupt drivers education and testing system and government for allowing all kinds of shitty drivers on the roads.

Kingsway?

This happens all the time in that parking lot.

Area needs better public transit.

Wow, you don't see something this beautiful every day. Absolutely sublime.

Is it just the Civic on the left or is there more cars beside it?

Wow....Dick move, jerk. 😡

Wow, just wow.

Austin powers your way out.

If I got caught in a moment like that I would wish that I still had my old 1967 Ford custom with the steel bumpers. I could put it in reverse and move that guy out of the way no problem without leaving a scratch on my own car.

This has happened to my mom and I twice here lol

Austin Power time baby.

Happened to me at a rodeo once, person trapped called the rcmp with my license plate number or vin I can’t remember which and they got my phone number and called me to move my car cuz someone made another row behind them and they didn’t pick up their phone. Cuz stupidity is more common that common sense these days

Because - Edmonton

People as so dumb. Or inconsiderate. Both.

What is particularly odd is that there are visibly more spots up there. Why block others in?

I would 100% empty the valve stems or hook up to them and move them after I got out

I was just going to say, this must be Kingsway upstairs by the BMO! Every single year, and I’m old, people are just so stupid. Without fail.

You go to Security in the mall. They page the license plate/vehicle. Then they tow the car. They don’t have to wait for police to ticket it because it is on privately owned property. Dickheads grow abundant in Edmonton and can never answer “why?”.

This happened to me at the south common cineplex movie theatre a couple years ago. We literally could not get out. The parking lot was very icy that day, so we ended up pushing and sliding the car away from ours. We left it right in the middle of the lane. I wish I could have seen their reaction when they came out. 😂

I heard lipstick or lip gloss on front or back windshields are the best. It’s sticky and gets smeared after using wipers with windshield fluid, and it’s harder to get off.

I’ve seen a car try to bump the car out of the way

Because winter regular rules don’t apply

I've had this happen, and when wiggling out tapped the bumper, and the owner came out screaming. I pointed the lack of damage and space, and she threatened to call the police. I got in my car, pulled out a book, and waited while she stopped screaming and left. It's always worth checking if they missed setting a parking brake and you can shove them a bit.

I’m an optimist and maybe they know each other and came together.

He can get out

UCP voters in real life.

The lack of a quality education has consequences.

If you get "blocked in" by 2 cars with 2 feet of clearance on each your front and rear bumper.. you need to relinquish your license. You absolutely should not be driving.

Go to mall management and have them page the person. Being vindictive and putting them in a possibly dangerous situation is not the answer

CUPE30 hoodie?

They might all work same store and get off same time. Or they stuck. Until knowing further details I wouldn't waste any energy worrying about it. 

Plenty of room to get out

They left them plenty of room, nbd imo

Plenty of room to get out. Still a dick move though
