Double parking should be an automatic tow even if half the lot is empty.
I’d be happy with small print that says you have to buy two parking tickets. Nice and small at the bottom so they don’t realise and just get slapped with a £90 fine whenever they park like it.
Being in Aus, a car park like this would most likely be free.
If I couldn’t find parking I would 100% do what the white car did (and have done before)
How about free the with small print that if you take up two spaces it’s 90 dollar bucks an hour, payable by calling a premium rate number?
130k
Is that after the interest on their 8 year, 0 down loan?
IDK how it is in Queensland, but here in the states, predatory lending and car-poor idiots are a pretty common pairing.
I drive an ‘92 geo metro just so I can park my car there and then abandon it if need be. Fuck you, fuck your truck, and fuck your money.
Just get some handles on your bumper. You can lift a Geo Metro with maybe one other person help.
That’s not a little white car. That’s just a white car. Fuck cars, but fuck these monstrosities that wouldn’t be street legal in any reasonable country especially.
Yup, that used to be a mid size car back in the day. This is actually a pretty good illustration of how out of control the size of our cars are getting
Fuck cars but I think it’s a Camry, which is actually a mid-size car.
Mid. Median. It’s a car. It’s not a small car, it’s not a big car.
This model was advertised as a “Wide-Body Camry” because they were so much more spacious.
Nobody likes these fucks in the giant trucks. I run a condo and those trucks stick out about 2 feet into the driveway and fit tightly on the wide side. We started banning them and it pissed off a few rednecks, but if you buy a car that literally doesn’t fit in your parking spot, that’s your problem.
I’ve got an old F150 farm truck and I still make a point to park in east Jesus nowhere in a parking lot so I’m not in the way. It’s common fuckin’ decency.
Thank you for your courteous parking habits.
same but then it never fails when you come back and it’s mysteriously surrounded by beater cars.
The old F150s actually got in parking spots. They’re quite a bit smaller than the current models.
Also, thank you for being courteous.
Dude, seriously… they’re not even the same truck anymore.
And don’t get me started in how hard it is to find an older (an actually small) Ranger in good condition…
Yeah, I require a large truck for work. I haul a large trailer and work rural. If I didn’t need it, I wouldn’t blow money on it. I park out of the way on principle, and pretty much don’t bother with downtown areas anymore, sadly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I wouldn’t sweat it. Folks don’t mind a truck that actually works driven by a courteous driver.
ok so i want to pick your brain here. What would be the most effective way to prevent these idiots from buying these large trucks, but still allowing these larger trucks on the market for the few rare instances where people actually need them.
I’ve had a few thoughts, notably just making smaller trucks alongside these larger trucks, they’re going to be a lot cheaper and more efficient so market forces should do quite a bit of work there. Aside from there, i’ve considered just selling super duties and deleting the normal line, probably just leaving the duallies in all honesty. I’ve also considered just yeeting the bed and throwing a fifth wheel there as a standard feature, making it impractical for anything other than hauling heavy trailers.
Outside of this, i’m not sure, but i’m also not convinced most people that use these trucks even need them in the first place, even if they’re doing work.
may I propose periodically inspecting and auditing if the subject needs the truck and if not they are shot on the spot?
Or, for a serious answer: ban them but not the trucks like those used in Europe (have same or better bed length but look uglier). Make trucks back into work vehicles instead of status symbols. And firebomb GM.
either one of these would work, i’m more curious as to what market forces would need to be manipulated to make it a thing.
Maybe we just have to wait for new EV manufacturers to pop up making a small truck. It would actually benefit them as well.
market forces trend towards using people’s fragile masculinity to sell them big truck to make money.
The only way we can get these shitstains out of our society is to completely and violently maim said free market with an axe.
i doubt it. Market forces trend towards selling cheap products with high margins, which smaller vehicles would easily fit the bill for.
Then car companies wouldn’t be making bigger and bigger cars
Truck driver has some “I’m The Main Character” energy
queenslanders dont say “pal” like that
deffo looks like a queensland carpark though 🤔
edit: did a reverse image search, according to reddit its an old satirical post by “Barry Barrington”… still weird to end it in “pal” and not “mate”
Im sure a Seppophile who drives a ‘Murucan truck would use “Pal”.
It’s a QLD rego plate on the corolla so the pic was taken in a Qld carpark. Probably said pal cause wankers in massive utes ain’t our mates…
If you take the end spot and then park far away from the curb to be a dick, you probably deserve to get your car banged up. I love end spots. I snuggle right up against that curb.
This is why I pick the end spot. I have a wide car and I don’t want it getting banged…so I hug that edge like a mother fucker.
Make it easy for people to not ding your car, and you won’t get your car dinged.
Even when I’m driving my little mazda3, in love being by the curb or parking a few spots further away to have nobody on either side of me. Having the room and getting the extra 10 seconds of exercise are both good in my eyes.
Back when I used to drive a POS like that Nissan I would intentionally park next to people parked like that (usually giant trucks) but against their driver door, in such a way that I could get out but they couldn’t get in.
I also punch the mirrors of cars parked in bike lanes.
In Australia this is the driver’s side of the truck.
My favorite thing about not giving a shit about what my car looks like is parking it like this next to assholes who think they’re getting that second space without consequences.
I basically treat truck drivers the way I treat cops at this point. Keep a safe distance and treat them like really stupid but dangerous and highly aggressive animals. Not surprising at all that most cops drive trucks.
I’m impressed the guy in the white car was able to get out of that
Also the dude in the big truck has a small penis, this just convinced me.
WYM? If it is qld (Australia) then the cars are right hand drive.
“You think this is bad, this–this chicanery? He’s done worse. That car park! Are you telling me that a man just happens to park a car in that small spot? No, he orchestrated it! He exited through the sunroof!”
I would also 100% climb out of my trunk to give that “fuck you” to the truck. Only a shame they couldn’t block the drivers side.
We drive on the Left in Australia. That is the Drivers side.
It’s a shame they’re not flipped so white car could park 1 cm from the truck driver door. See how you like climbing into your pavement princess from the bed pal
I live in Qld.
Qld stands for Queensland.
Queensland is in Australia.
In Australia we drive on the left hand side of the road.
So the steering wheel is on the opposite side (right).
The truck can’t get in the drivers side.
😘👌
But, but, but… They can just climb in from the passenger side and comfortably scoot over, right? I mean that thing is huge, you might even be able to just walk over.
I didn’t know these ridiculously oversized vehicles also came with a free ridiculously oversized entitlement complex.
If you buy a car that’s a problem, I will make sure it becomes your problem and not mine.
Imagine thinking the car is the asshole in this situation
