In London, England, where the roads are narrow, the parking spaces are limited and we have plenty of availability of vans that can actually fit things in, we still get these a*holes with their unnecessary large pick up trucks made for a road system completely different to ours...

These spaces are wider than usual and long enough to fit them but they still have to park like w*nkers blocking the only footpath around!

I mean, I have a 5 door hatchback and know that my car overhangs the back wheels, as does any primary school kid drawing a car...

Hmm, my impression was that it's mainly Australia, where they say it like it's a friendly morning greeting. UK folks certainly still say it, but it is deemed rude, and I could see some folks deciding to censor when writing it down, especially when it's used as a proper insult like here.
