I saw this today and couldn't resist taking a photo as I had the camera in the back seat. At first I thought somebody had stolen it and left it there. Don't really know but I wouldn't park like that myself.

I'd be tempted to leave about 100 trolleys around it. Then they can be the ones to stack the trolleys because they were inconsiderate enough to block the trolley dropoff point.

Thats Hoppers Crossing near the train station right?
If it is they are insane, there are thousands of cars that go in and out of there every day.. it would almost certainly get clipped parked there!

I was leaving a KFC carpark and this elderly lady pulled up and parked right in the exit, got out and walked off even though I tooted her. She must have trapped about 20 cars in there - I should have stayed to see what happened.

Its all reverse angle parking here, but Territorians used to nose in angle parking still follow the lines, and park completely the wrong way, nose in. Funny stuff.

Wandered out of my place one morning to see this top parking effort....
  Went back inside and no, the driver wasn't drunk, no she didn't want the car moved and yes she is a good driver. Btw the oil stains are from an XD gearbox just to give some idea how from the curb the car was.

 : I've seen that pic before and I always wonder why she has taken out the keys from the ignition, was she worried someone may drive off with her car?

My dollar scratchie is on it being a company car and the bosses yacht. "No payrise? well I quit...and I've parked the company car close to your new yacht"
On a side note, the first photo is deffinately not in QLD, as we don't have safeway. (Safeway? The safer way to shop? Since when has safety been a concern in shopping??)

Here's one I took:
 There's a lady sitting in a blue car facing the camera that you can see between the truck and the Commodore. After I took the snap and got into my car, she came over and stood in front of my car and made it very obvious she was writing down my rego. I told her I was photographing the badly parked truck and she refused to believe me, thought I was photographing her. Then as I was reversing out a guy came and asked me what I was doing. I acted dumb and drove off. I don't think I'll be trying that again!

One time I saw an old woman stop her car in the middle of the service lane at Maffra (in Gippsland). She didn't bother trying to find a park. She just pulled up beside a car, still on the road. Then she got out, walked into the shops with the drivers door left open the whole time!
