Actually, I think, in Florida, as long as you have a set of car keys, you can park anywhichwayanywhereanytime. Not legal, but if you are trying to fit in...

Here is a typical Florida parking job:

This lady pulled in going the wrong way, then parked diagonally the wrong way while also blocking part of the handicap "free zone". Incidentally, there were bunches of parking spots very near where she crash-landed.

Oh, you will also note that it is apparently rude to actually USE a turn signal in Florida! You gotta love em!
