At the Al Manshar Mall, where there are only about forty spaces for a huge mall:

  1. I hate that!! I used to have fake parking tickets printed out from the old “Car Talk” website. It would say something like “You need a dope slap for the following:” and then list offenses like this one. I would have parked behind him and stayed at the mall forever.

  2. I just checked Car Talk’s site and the tickets are back: The Car Talk Traffic Police.

    Here’s the one for Lousy Parking Offense.

  3. This is a great idea! Someone needs to start a website in each city devoted to the parking wall of shame.

  4. Stinni, thanks, I love it. And I love Car Talk – did you know we could stream NPR here – if you have cable or wireless?

  6. Wow. You go there too? I go during my lunch breaks sometimes, I work in Ahmadi. I just use my handicapped card to park in the handicapped space. Sometimes when I see no parking & a non-handicapped car in the handicapped space. I double-park & make sure I waste HOURS just to piss off the owner.

    Did that in Sharq Mall, a guy rudely parked in Handicapped & I politely showed him my card & asked him to shove off, he refused. So I double-parked & went to the late night show at the movies. 😀
    Found a note from him politely asking to call him (at 3am?! is he nuts?!). I really hoped that he WALKED home, the bastard.

    Let’s do a Parking Wall of Shame Club! I want to put my old camera to good use! 😀

  7. Stinni, people are . . . if not downloading the Car Talk Tickets, they are looking at them. Good on ya! They are a total hoot!
    Evil – there is plenty of opportunity to add to the Wall!
    Mini R – Oh! That is the WORST! People who are able bodied, parking in the handicapped spot! Oh you know that one has got to catch up with them in the last of days! both my parents have handicapped licenses, and they really NEED those spots. I take that very personally.
