If you don't know how to drive a truck, please don't. Just dont.

Elect me dictator of the world and I will implement my pickup truck and SUV tiered licensing scheme: Before you are allowed to have an F-150 or Escalade, first you must complete a 4 year probationary period of driving, say, a Suzuki Samurai.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Fuck, I would LOVE to drive a Samurai!

This isn't lack of ability, it's on purpose. I have had this type explain how clever they are for parking like this to keep other drivers from dinging their truck

The eventual key gouge down the side is gonna look great though.

US cars are just too tall.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Too tall, wide, and long. While parking spaces have the same 1985 car standard size.

Most drivers where I live doesn’t even bother to park between lines anymore since you cannot get in/out of your vehicle if everybody park properly.

Looks like an unusually considerate truck owner to me.

"No care in the world" diagonal parking could've used 6 parking spots instead of a "mere"4.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

He doesn't care enough to maximize his inefficiency. The worst type of asshole.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love parking as close as I can to these people. My car is already scratched and dinged up from random shit over the years.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have an ancient and quirky 4x4, it's painted with bedliner, and I do the same. It's narrow enough to fit in a parking space that another vehicle is partially in.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eyy, bedliner gang. Both of my 4 wheeled vehicles are bedlinered. Being shiny is for chumps.

You can blame the driver for parking poorly, or you can blame the manufacturer for making a massive truck that can barely fit into a standard parking space, or you can blame car-centric infrastructure for making it so that everyone has to drive, even those that are insecure about their length.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I blame all three + the driver again for buying this stupid fucking truck they probably don't even need and won't benefit them 99% time. But hey, it excels at killing children in driveways, so that's something.

It's still the dipshit driver's fault. Nobody forced them to buy that monstrosity or park like that.

Unrelated, but did you know that most cars and trucks only carry one spare tire?

So if, god forbid, something happened to more than one tire, it becomes significantly more difficult to deal with.

This parking lot looks pretty empty to me

This just shows the laziness and incompetence of truck drivers. I could see this being an easy mistake to make since he's pretty close on all the lines, but it really doesn't take that long to correct it when you get out of your truck lol.

Without more context, at least he parked away from others in an empty part of the lot.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is why bad parking is the worst. Any individual incident of shitty driving could be some momentary distraction or lapse of judgement. Things happen that people can’t take back.

But with parking, it’s always fixable. That way you KNOW they are a cunt, whether they did it on purpose, or noticed and didn’t fix it, or most likely never gave enough of a shit to even try in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

whether they did it on purpose, or noticed and didn’t fix it, or most likely never gave enough of a shit to even try in the first place.

That's about as succinct as it gets when describing these types. I'll need to remember it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Idiot drivers*

Happens with all vehicle's. Not everyone that owns a truck has a room temp IQ like the person depicted here.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A largely disproportionate pool of the Idiot drivers* are just truck drivers lol.

I am the guy that parks right beside him. In my designated spot. Takes a photo of his car and plate. Walks away. That drama is his drama.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (6 children)

What would a photo do? Prove to your insurance you put your vehicle in a situation that it could be damaged? Your insurance has clauses to prevent paying out in those situations.

You’re asking for trouble and a fight and potentially a bill that you created for yourself actually.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I'm in my space, and that person can't manoeuvre out of their space. That's their fault. Not mine.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

So you’re intentially putting your car in a situation where it can be damaged, and you’ll admit that to your insurance so they can not pay out to you?

They would ask why you parked there and not somewhere else. Taking the picture proofs your intent even….

Insurance isn’t stupid they know these games and people do this stuff intentionally all the time, you’re not going to have an easy slam dunk victory. There’s plenty of precedent from people thinking it’s a smart idea before. Give your insurance clauses a read, there’s clauses about you not putting your vehicle in situations, doing everting you can to avoid a collision…

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sometimes you don't have a choice. Either park there or nowhere. Examples include, but are not limited to: designated parking spaces, or full parking lots.

Insurance isn't gonna pay out either way. In this situation they'd say they don't have enough information to determine who is at fault and close the claim.

This car is FAT! I mean this car is body-positive.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That guy is taking up like 50 bike parking spots.

Perhaps stores should set up a handful of "big car" parking spots at the very far end of the lot and let these losers walk.

Hence the 4x4 sticker: 4 parking spaces for 4 wheels.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Needs a 2x2 sticker added to the back to show how many parking spaces he occupies.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Ah, that's where I left it!

Odd how the tiniest dicks take the most space.

That parking lot looks packed, so this is worth your mental distress.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

It’s mildly infuriating, not pants shittingly aggravating. If anything this fits more than the usually much more upsetting content.
