If you finished your meal at the Sherwood Diner a few minutes ago and wanted to head out the normal way: tough luck.
Some brainiac decided that the exit lane from the main lot was a perfect spot to park.

The car in the middle in the photo above blocked the entire exit. Everyone had to use the narrow driveway behind the diner — unless they wanted to wait for the driver to finish his or her meal.
Nothing whatsoever indicates this is a parking spot.
And please don’t say “maybe there’s a good reason for this.”
In nearly 11 years of posting photos of spectacularly selfish, jaw-droppingly self-centered, stupefyingly entitled drivers, I thought I’d seen everything.
Silly me.
On Monday, this person — I would not call him or her a “driver,” because that implies some sentience — landed his or her Jeep here:
This takes your breath away.
The person crossed the yellow line. The person stopped, going the wrong way against traffic — in a “No Parking” zone.
The person took the keys, opened the door, and left.
Without even the decency to park close to the curb!
Don’t believe me? Here’s another view.

I would like to say that no one can top this. The bar has been set astronomically high.
Alert readers who have sent in Entitled Parking photos (and your numbers are legion) know that I often reply, “Sorry. The bar is set very high. The driver must take up at least 3 spaces, or be so jaw-droppingly selfish he attempted something no one ever thought of before.”
Today’s winner managed to take park in not 3, but 4 different Town Hall spots.
There is someone behind him, but he’s probably sticking out into the lane.
And please: Do not say the driver may have had a medical emergency.
Actually, it’s our medical problem. He made our heads explode.
