Parking in the city can be rough, but there's no need to get into a boxing match about it—or to passive-aggressively park on top of another car. According to tipster Genevieve, the photos were taken at 7 p.m. on Friday in Queens, in the parking lot of Bean & Bean on Northern Boulevard. "I didn't see it happen, but what I found out is that the black car on top reversed from a parking spot on the street, which hopped the curb, and went backwards up those two parked cars," she wrote on Reddit. Hmm, maybe there's a special parking placard that we just don't know about yet.
