An Assembly of Morons, November 16

It's been a long time since I last posted. Perhaps you're thinking that there's been a sudden decrease in moronic parking in Kosovo? Far from it, friends: far from it.

In fact, the problem has been the opposite. Sometimes you're so surrounded by moronocrity (it's a word - look it up) that you become blind to it. And sometimes you need more than a single act of moronedness (again - I stand by this word) to shake you from your slumber. With that in mind, I give you today's entry: a veritable assembly of morons.

At first glance, one might ask "Who, precisely, is the moron here? Sure, I see cars parked higgledy- piggledy, facing in all sorts of directions, with no apparent order: but is this the result of moronic behavior, or is there some grander design at work here?"

Let me assure you: there is no grand design. Only the competing several hundred designs of each car's owner. Perhaps some clarification is in order...



Several of the autos here have attempted to park in at least some imitation of the order implied by the painted parking spaces (although a number have extended those marked rows to their own liking.) But the MPVs of the moron contest here are those circled in the detailed photo. The cars circled in red have managed to block in two rows of about 20 cars and left no phone numbers on their dash board, as is the custom here. But the gold medal goes to the car circled in green, who has blocked in every car pictured, as well as the rest of the cars in the whole lot, numbering approximately 200. This truly is the work of some majestic Grade A moron, and I salute you sir. Nice job. You win.

Perhaps you'd be surprised to know that this situation was actually WORSE when I first noticed it, and improved over the course of the five minutes that it took me to get to my camera. Don't be surprised, gentle reader. There's plenty more where that came from. We've got more morons coming soon, including our first guest submission...
