Melbourne driver called out for parking fail
“People that think those are parking spots need to hand their licence in.”
A Melbourne driver is under fire after their poor parking effort was exposed in a now-viral TikTok video.
The clip, shot in Richmond’s Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, shows a car parked about as incorrectly as you can get - and people are fuming.

“You can’t park there, bro!”
TikTok user @bjj_run_up has taken to the app this week to share a video from his trip to Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre - interrupted by someone’s poor parking.
“Somebody thought that was a parking spot,” he says in the clip.
“How is that a parking spot? That’s not a parking spot.”
In the video, you can see that the car isn’t parked in a car spot at all, and has instead been parked in the middle of a lane - indicated by the arrow behind it.
“You can’t park there, bro!” he says.

“Ain’t nooo wayyyy”
Commenters on the post thought the act was ridiculous, calling out the driver for their incompetence.
“People that think those are parking spots need to hand their licence in,” said one person firmly.
“My guess probably an old person,” another said.
“They thought the painted arrow was pointing to the parking spot,” a third joked.
“Ain’t nooo wayyyy,” said another person.
Others thought they may have even done it on purpose, sick of circling.
“They didn’t ‘think’ it was a parking spot. They drove around for ages and gave up and said, ‘F it! I’m just going to park right here. What can they do?’. It’s only October! It’s going to be even madder closer to Christmas!!” said one person.
“I’ve seen it so many times”
But one thing’s for sure - it’s not the first time it’s happened, and it won’t be the last.
“It happens a lot and you hear centre management calling it out over the PA system in malls,” one commenter shared.
“It happens a LOT in shopping centres. I've seen it so many times,” said another.
Last week, another Melbourne driver was called out for parking over the lines at the airport.
“Airport parking is chocker block, and this rude person has parked like this!!” @gretaafraser said in her video.
Greta ended up parking the driver in - and commenters said the act was just the right amount of petty.
