A “hilarious” TikTok video of a woman struggling to park her car on the street has shocked viewers with its “unbelievable” ending.
The minute-long clip, which was shared to Twitter after being posted on TikTok by @richiibeata, sees the driver attempting to place her car in the gap between two vehicles – in the tricky manoeuvre known as the parallel park.
After first attempting to drive forwards into the gap, the woman tries reversing into it, at which point a dog walker decides to pick up her pet and promptly move out of the way.
Several tries later – including an approach where she decides to count steps in the gap and around the side of her car – another individual helps to guide her into the parking spot, giving her a brief hug when the driver is finally able to park her car in the gap.
However, the friendly stranger turns out to be the owner of the car behind her, and after all the trial and error, she gets into her car and drives away.
Responding to the video online, Twitter users concluded that the stranger truly “did her dirty”:

@cheembeam If you give a woman an easy parallel parking job, she will park for a day. If you teach her how to paral… https://t.co/JmP1mbg72b— Bruce Halperin (@Bruce Halperin) 1618254632
Others, meanwhile, ridiculed the woman’s decision to figure out the gap by counting steps:
@cheembeam I’m sorry, did she start counting steps???? https://t.co/cwpl065IEY— lil bby mai (@lil bby mai) 1618254880
@cheembeam It was the "how many of my feet is it" distance measuring method for me. https://t.co/umKYRv3H9F— Clara Sia (@Clara Sia) 1618265884
@cheembeam I’m also dying at how she measured the paces. “Ok, the parking space is 20 hands long, and my car is 14… https://t.co/8pvllaMH0i— 13 gengar in a trenchcoat (@13 gengar in a trenchcoat) 1618255151
It wasn’t just the driver that was being mocked either, as others poked fun at the woman who decided to pick up her dog and promptly get out of the way:

@cheembeam The first laugh I got was the lady picking up her dog so it wouldn’t get run over by this woman’s poor parallel parking skills.— We should have 3 day weekends. (@We should have 3 day weekends.) 1618257567

Finally, for those curious about how it should be done, several users were able to offer help:
“Cut the wheel”, by the way, refers to making a quick turn of the steering wheel, but with all this explaining, we’d probably go and find a different parking spot altogether.
