genuinely do not think this person is capable of parking parallel to the curb, you could take the other parked cars away and the result would be the same

Famously, you can even park a smart car at 90° to the curb! I cannot understand how they are messing this up so badly
That was my first thought!
Exactly! How did this get so messed up?
I'd love to see who or what was driving it...
Yeah they never got close to the other cars.
That's gotta be one of the easiest cars to parallel park in existence
You’ve heard of parallel parking. Now watch this non-Euclidean parking
polygonal parking
That’s a perfectly good pull in spot, especially with such a tiny car! I don’t get why they even decided to reverse into it.
they just had to drive forward into it! parallel parking never had to enter this decision tree!
Luckily Smart Cars have a pretty low top speed.
absolutely. you could already park a damned 747 in that space and buddy can’t get it done
How did we do this?? bsky.app/profile/frie...
I immediately clocked this as a bit? Like, there's no actual damage to any vehicles. Somebody knew the camera was there and potentially had the means to stage that opening and then did that with the tiniest car they could get access to. Heh.
they did achieve a perfect *perpendicular* park towards the end, so in theory they're a simple transformation away
I was just thinking they could just park that thing sideways and call it a day
pretty sure that is legal for Smart cars in Europe.
It is!
They could have just driven in and adjusted ever so slightly. That car is tiny.
How they avoided the pool is the question 🤔
Imagine them driving a Cybertruck 😳😱😬
They didn't even need to parallel park, it's a smart car - just pull in!!
Well, if it’s a first time with that car I could make allowances for the wheel base and positioning. But with that cracker ass car the driver really could have gone in front first with that huge space. Hell, a Buick could front in to that space. Fail score for stupidity.
Car that small he could park up at right angles to the kerb & not stick out past the other cars
call a buddy or two and just turn the car off and move it into the parking spot like a couch
Honestly in a smart car you shouldn’t have to Just pull in like you would with a regular perpendicular parking spot
I bet if they tried to go perpendicular, they'd manage to finally parallel park. ahahahaha
No they would manage to face the opposite direction
The first couple of times I drove one of these I found it a little hard to park only insofar as it's so much smaller than a normal car that I didn't have a good mental conception of where the back of the car ended, so I couldn't tell if I'd backed up far enough or not.
What really gets me is that there's like 15m of space there to just drive into.
What gets me is they couod have just pulled into it forward. Parallel parking should only be used when there's no room to pull in forward. Having a space that is at least ten times smaller than a comically tiny car is enough room
Puts a bow on the whole thing.
I could parallel park my minivan nose-in in a spot that size. *That* car is about the size of a La-Z-Boy recliner. There is no excuse.
He’s like one adjustment away from having it like 11 times and just nope
right? it's insane.
AND ITS WITH A SMART FORTWO. ONE OF THE SMALLEST CARS ON THE MARKET WITH A TINY WHEELBASE
I was like why do this, why??? Why not just pull in. ...then to be fair halfway through the video I was like 'yes, you need all the practice at this you can get.'
That's actually a good point, this could be a trainee driver practising it in a spot with lots of room
Their last move could almost have been achieved with their first attempt. Is this in the US? Does anyone know? Smart cars aren’t that common here….
showed this to my wife and she starts off going “this is fake, right?” and by the end she was visibly annoyed, the execution here is so good (terrible) that you can’t help getting mad
I don't even drive and I was getting annoyed
I’m honestly impressed at the perseverance. My adhd self would have given up after 20 seconds.
Smart car + room for a school bus is inspired
My reaction to the whole video.
Bonus on Careless Whisper with new Brazilian Portuguese lyrics
driving off into the grass feels staged honestly, but if it's fake there had to be inspiration
LMAO ok I’m glad that I am in good company
I am so very very mad right now.
I hate you for showing me this
This was my wife’s exact reaction too.
There's a 'Jesus take the wheel' joke in here but I'm too annoyed from watching that.
it’s the second type of really good ragebait
It has to be staged. No way this is real
This has got to be ragebait or drugs. There is no way anyone with a clear mind would try so radically different solutions without at least a faint idea of what they want to do, and fail so ludicrously at each one.
When they go up onto the curb and into the grass i started thinking "oh ok, this person is for sure off their ass drunk. That would explain it."
I just- I can't understand how it must be THIS hard to park a vehicle the size of a roller-skate without it being On Purpose.
Feel like the smallest vehicle that would actually need to parallel park in that space would be a campaign bus
And here I thought *I* was bad at parallel parking.
That was exactly my reaction!
I thought it was a child who stole a car, but a child would do better with that much space.
Just pull in between them?
