Yeah, it was great when the guy parked it in like 10 seconds...
For some reason, women just don't like the crank the wheel. Sometimes you have to go to full lock to get out of a tight space...
Some women just aren't good with spatial relations...
On the 2nd video, who ever designed that parking lot should be shot !! I don't want to imagine how many scuffed bumpers happen in that lot. Maybe it's not as tight as it looks, but you shouldn't have to do a 5 point turn to get out of a spot... It would have taken me more that 3 points to get out of that spot

...and the reason he parked it was: a) he was afraid of her smashing his frontend (which was bound to happen) and b) he didn't have all day for her to figure it out. 
But in general
with regard to woman and spatial relations. My wife is a fairly competent driver and even she seems to have issues in this area...moreso on highways where she doesnt center the car within the lane (read: space cushion).Sidenote: For the women on this board, trust me: I am NOT misogynistic.

Most women have a poorer concept of spatial relations than men (there are exceptions of course)
My best friend growing up would sometimes get lost in his own neighborhood..
My mother can drive just about anywhere without a map, she just knows where to go. Same here.
. thats f***ed up.

Drifting
So I ask, since really it must be, why do women suck at parking? I don't get it, I actually cannot think of a single woman I know(including my wife) that can perform closequarters parking.
I guess women cannot judge distances. I mean for example yesterday I picked up my wife, back out of this tiny driveway(like 150ft) at like 10mph and than we see one of her female coworkers come out get in her car and immediately tries a three point turn, instead of backing out about 30ft(people park all along the driveway).
After 4 points, she was almost exactly perpendicular in the drive way. The best part though was how she reacted to that, or should I say didnt react. Her first 4 turns were pretty quick, but once she got sideways the car didn't move for almost a minute. It was freaking hilarious, me and my wife were literally crying laughing, it ended up being a 10+ point turn.

Spatial relations.. you either get it or you don't. And yeah, part of it is judging distances.
