Give the guy a break.
He was the only one in the parking lot who had parked his car correctly in the first place.

I didn't watch all the video, I just ran the curser along the timeline and watched it all in about 15 seconds. Idiots like this should have their licence removed, and I'm all for retesting all people after various lengths of driving or certain ages.
Thank you Herr-Berbunch, You explained it well.

I think the other question that needs to be raised is: if that person in the video has trouble exiting a small car park, how does that person function and complete basic tasks in life? ( not that exiting a small car park with a car is anything other than a basic function for us normal mortals). Scary thought *head scratching*

If only there were a tax on stupidity we'd have so much money there would be no need to borrow at all.

Oh...that's right...there is such a tax. It's called the lottery.

They say people (in general) are now more comfortable with technology than they are in the presence of other humans.

Of course it is a two way street though people on this very forum live thousands of miles away yet talk to each other nearly everyday for free modern technology allows that.It works both ways.

Honestly this site is the only social networkish site that I regularly use.It is all about balance I recon.Funny thing is that most people (the one most "guilty") will watch that video and think for about 5 minutes and then go right to back to face in the smart phone.

Kind of like how on the road when ever there is an accident everyone sees the reality of how easily lives can be changed forever because of one persons mistake or impatience or one mechanical failure then 20 miles down the road peddle to the metal tailgate the guy in front and cut off every big rig they pass likely while also staring at their smart phone.

We will truly be slaves after the singularity.

Sorry, I really hate threads that only say "Need help", "I have a question", or "Must watch". If you want people to watch it you should say what it's about.

Time to worry...when you have more virtual friends than real ones.

Admittedly the internet has opened the world to others. Without the internet I would not know Jim Buna!
