Parking Attempt Goes from Amusingly Bad to Downright Disastrous

You simply have to wonder how did some people get their driving license if they can't even park a car? What else can't they do? An uphill start? You'd better pray you'll never be behind this guy on an incline, or it's bye-bye front bumper, or even worse.
What's even funnier in the video below is that the protagonist presents himself as the savior. The guy driving the SUV before he gets behind the steering wheel was another kind of bad driver. The self-aware kind. He wasn't made for this, but he knows his limits and he doesn't force them. If he feels he can't do something, he'll just back off. Can't park here? Not a problem, he'll go round one more time and look for a different, more accessible spot.

But this time he's got an audience. The car is full of people and he probably doesn't want to make a fool of himself. Two of the passengers get off and go towards the building, as the other passenger decides it's time for him to save the day. He climbs into the driver's seat and seems determined to get this over with fast.

By the looks of it, though, it's possible he's never driven an automatic gearbox before. Either that or he has monstrous problems figuring out which is left and which is right, as he makes a mess out of the two pedals. He does successfully park the vehicle in the end, but not before knocking down three motorcycles and smashing into at least just as many cars. All in the confined space of the parking lot.

I guess the best reaction to all this chaos belongs to that scared cat that's running away. It's just too much, there's nothing left to say. The best thing you can do is put as much distance as you can between you and that guy. And never ever give him the keys to a car again.
