Houstonians view people from Dallas, Texas as rich, class-obsessed morons. This photo of a Dallas citizen who decided to ignore the bright orange warning cones and park in freshly-poured concrete only confirms this theory.

According to Alison Bristol, who captured the incident in this photograph, the Mercedes driver somehow missed the ongoing construction:

"Apparently, the driver didn't realize the construction crew just finished pouring cement on the road," Bristol said, adding that the car drove into a work area clearly marked by signs and cones. The driver had to be helped out of the car because the vehicle was completely surrounded by wet pavement.

Impressively, the Benz-owner never once got off their cell phone for the entire ordeal. Thanks for the tip maureyrd!
