Um, let&#8217;s start the analysis. The <del>Giant Land Yacht<\/del> car clearly meets the Parking Jerk standards, because it&#8217;s over the line and also parked at an angle. But we note that Walmart&#8217;s shopping cart return thingy (that&#8217;s the technical term for it, by the way) seems to have exploded. Sorta like the belt of your uncle at the family reunion that always eats too much. That thing could kill somebody when it blows, baby.<\/p>\n<p>An argument can be made for contributory negligence here. Since this is now a judicial matter (no, it&#8217;s really not), let&#8217;s send this one to our panel of judges.<\/p>\n<p>And we get a rare two-part ruling! First, the <del>big-ass SS Titanic<\/del> car is ruled a Parking Jerk of the Day for clear reasons. And second, we&#8217;re awarding a Special Parking Jerk of the Day award to the Walmart shopping cart return thingy for blowing up into a second parking space.<\/p>\n<p>No. We don&#8217;t know what in the hell happened here in this article, either.
