You see it all the time. You're driving through suburbia and come up to a car parked on the street. This means you'll have to swing halfway into the oncoming lane to get around it. But there's a car coming in the opposite direction, so you have to come to a stop in the middle of your 50-60kph lane to give way to it, before you can pull out around the parked car. (it gets interesting when you are approaching the crest of a hill and can't even see if there is any oncoming traffic). As you drive around the car parked on the street, you look over and see that the garage and driveway are empty.
I REALLY like when there are cars parked on both side of the street, creating an even narrower one-way chokepoint.

The big problem where I live is abandoned cars clogging up the streets. Every house has a granny flat, borders and or 3 generations of migrants living in it. Garages used to store anything but vehicles, or to live in. And truck drivers leaving their trucks illegally parked on the street overnight.
