Tom Park's Mastery: Instant Karma or Shadow Reign?
"Tomsk's Crazy Parking Chronicles" - our website project dedicated to sharing tales of parking marvels and violations in Tomsk. If you've witnessed some outrageous parking antics, don't hesitate to share it with our VK group.
Another week has flown by, and we're surfacing once more to share the bizarre parking mischief encountered roaming the streets of Tomsk. This week's exploits include late-night proezd kings, obstructed sidewalks, and a generous dose of instant karma. So, let's dive in!
To begin, let's talk about the annoyingly ignorant drivers on ul. Gerzen, who still park their cars on the sidewalk - even when there's a nearby parking lot! I mean... come on, mate! You're not the only one waiting at the tire shop. Show some consideration.
Now, let's talk about the nut job who decided to claim a prime spot in the middle of the night - on a city proezd, no less! The audacity, right? Leaving a car to block off a proezd can be downright scary and inconvenient, not to mention a nuisance for emergency services.
We can't forget the drivers who treat parking as a sport, performing reckless maneuvers just to annoy everyone else. Take, for example, the shining example we caught that blocked both traffic and pedestrians. At least he didn't park under that arch. That would've been a real spectacle.
However, the undisputed champion of this week's Tomsk Parking Hall of Fame goes to the driver who, mayhaps, received a cosmic lesson on etiquette. Parking so close to an entrance is a no-no. Trees dropping branches are a nuisance. But when they coincide, it's like a celestial cry for parking patience. Well played, silly parking maestro. You've earned a spot in our hall of shame!
