Doug reports: “The day that Mayor Bowser closed Beach Drive on the weekdays, an enterprising DC driver decided this was a great parking space while they walked/jogged/etc. Pretty par for the course. Taken Monday around 530 pm.”

Thanks to Amanda for capturing this dumpster fire of a parking job:
“This gem in SW made it about 36 hours.”
Not quite as entitled as the previous examples we’ve seen this week but, well, I can’t really think of a scenario for parking like this unless you are blind drunk or waaaaay to old to be driving. Remind me to tell you a story about the later that I witnessed a couple weeks ago.
Sherman and Harvard St, NW
Thanks to Amanda for sending this morning:
“I thought this was an appropriate follow-up to yesterday’s Jaguar in front of Call Your Mother. The pic makes it look like the 4Runner is moving, but no. It’s parked (if you can call it that) fully in the crosswalk. No driver. DC plates.”
