What new app shames people who park their cars horribly?


November 21, 2012 By

Answer: the "Parking Douche" app

A newspaper in Moscow called The Village created an Android app that lets users photograph and shame irresponsible drivers -- and it could soon be available internationally, according to the New York Daily News.

Once downloaded, users can take a photo of shoddy parking and upload it to the app. The photo is then shared on online Village readers near where the shot was taken, which the company can do by geo-locating IP addresses.

I'd rather the cars just be towed. If you can't park it, you shouldn't be driving it.
