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

Hey as somebody with a small dick I really appreciate your adding that bit in about cunnilingus skills.

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.
kartonrealista@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.

thorbot@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s still the dipshit driver’s fault. Nobody forced them to buy that monstrosity or park like that.
spudwart@spudwart.com 6 months ago
People are easily manipulated at scale ( No one is immune to Propaganda ). Fear marketing is more powerful to those who are anti-social, and car centric infrastructure perpetuates an anti-social society by sprawling people out and segregating them in transit through a car, and segregating them in their homes based on class.
Most people go for whats cheapest, and many trucks have been dropping in price, compared to their more regulated counterparts. Everyone in the US needs a car, whether they want one or not.
He definitely could’ve parked better, but the greater issue at hand is if driving was a requirement in the US but instead a luxury, The privilege of driving would be restricted to those who can pass a more rigorous driving test. But since in the US, public transportation has been designated as being for the poor and the desperate, their upkeep and social understanding of them has reflected this.
No one wants to ride the bus or take a train in the US because “Ah it’s dangerous, everyone gets stabbed, shot and bludgeoned there!!”. The reason for this is deceptively simple, if you designate something as only being for a class of people that is known to fall into violence as a result of their material conditions, then everything that they use will reflect that negative connotation.
But similarly, should cars and trucks not have a similar reputation? As cars and trucks are in frequent accidents and so many complain about bad drivers. Road rage, and police chases. Why don’t cars have the same negative connotation as public transportation? Because you, me and most people who are not in the “poor and the desperate” category use them. If any negative issues come to light at all, the solution isn’t to avoid driving, the issue is to improve the driving experience, hence all these absurd massive tank trucks.
The “reason” I alluded to that was deceptively simple earlier, is not that if something becomes associated with bad events and behavior it will become undesirable. the deceptively simple reason is In-Group/Out-Group bias.
Because those with middle-class wealth all the way to the richest all use Cars, naturally this form of transportation sees the most improvement. But since public transportation is only used by the poor and the desperate, it sees neglect instead of improvement.

Aceticon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
ghostdoggtv@lemmy.world 6 months ago
He doesn’t care enough to maximize his inefficiency. The worst type of asshole.
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Eyy, bedliner gang. Both of my 4 wheeled vehicles are bedlinered. Being shiny is for chumps.

This parking lot looks pretty empty to me
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’d also like to know how far from the front of the lot it is.
joemo@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
While I generally agree with giving people shit for taking up multiple spots, this one isn’t that bad. He’s just over the line. You see some people.who park in the middle of those four spots.
Norgur@kbin.social 6 months ago
Just because there are bigger cunts out there doesn't mean the comparatively smaller cunts can't be called out for being cunts, right?
I like to use the word cunt at the moment for some reason. So let's get this out of my system:
Cunty cunting cunt!joemo@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
I mean I’m giving the guy the benefit of the doubt here. He’s practically on the line to the right and slightly over on the back. Oh no! Burn the witch! I’ve seen people in small cars park worse.
Sounds like you just hate trucks, and that’s ok.
bustrpoindextr@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I mean honestly you don’t actually know that he’s a cunt. It’s possible that when he initially parked the car to the left was over the line and he had to be over the line to compensate.
Tikiporch@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That parking lot looks packed, so this is worth your mental distress.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
It’s mildly infuriating, not pants shittingly aggravating. If anything this fits more than the usually much more upsetting content.
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 6 months ago
Typical selfish behavior. Oh it’s empty now, don’t think about it getting busier and other people needing spots later. No no I’m the main character I deserve these spots.

bluGill@kbin.social 6 months ago
There are no other cars around. I often park at the far end of the lot so nobody parks close to me, and then I don't have to worry about those lines.
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
teamevil@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Lots of new cars come with none spare tire.
Dicska@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Would that make it take up extra space for even longer than it does already?
Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
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.
Tenthrow@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That’s the way it should be but they don’t care they park anywhere they want.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 6 months ago
This is already the way it is. At least where I work, the people who park across multiple spots do so at the far end of the parking lot where nobody else is parking.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Looks like this truck is already far enough out to be behind the convenient spaces. Either that or the lot serves a store with no demand.
Either way there are no cars surrounding the truck in this photo, indicating that nobody is actually being harmed or even inconvenienced.
uis@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This car is FAT! I mean this car is body-positive.
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
Fubar91@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Idiot drivers*
Happens with all vehicle’s. Not everyone that owns a truck has a room temp IQ like the person depicted here.
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 6 months ago
A largely disproportionate pool of Idiot drivers* are just truck drivers lol.

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

MrFlamey@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Needs a 2x2 sticker added to the back to show how many parking spaces he occupies.
RushingSquirrel@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Want*. He only needs 1
Nobsi@feddit.de 6 months ago
I mean… Its too long to be a 1x1 so a 1x2 is definitely needed. I would argue hes not even a 2x2 as you can still get in the other 2 spots yeah?

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.

yyyesss@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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

Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I do this, but in the far end if the lot. Notice how the image is framed so you can’t see where in the lot the truck is.
