The first horseless carriage appeared on Hartford’s streets in the 1890s. Over a century later, though cars spend most of their lives stationary, the act of parking continues to befuddle drivers.

On the bright side, these motorists are consistent in their absence of courtesy. They won’t share space with other drivers, nor with pedestrians or cyclists. The tiny green spaces between sidewalk and street have even been taken over by Team Pave the Planet.
