One time someone attempted to parallel park in front of my family's store, ended up actually backing up over the curb, close enough to the storefront that I thought they were going to come through the glass.
Still have no idea what the hell they thought they were doing.
I admit I'm not good at parallel parking, but this is far worse than anything I've ever done. This sounds like someone who had read a description of parallel parking in a badly-written book, and never seen it done.
