    This could be a failure on the part of the driver, but my god I hate those inexcusably giant pickup trucks that fit nowhere no matter how “good” a driver you are. They always stick out and cut of walkways, bicycle paths… they are simply too big. So oversized as to be generally dysfunctional.

      I have to drive a large van for work that is too long to fit in a parking spot. If i have to park it in a lot I always find 2 spots so I can pull through and not block the lanes. Yes it sucks it takes up 2 spots but we genuinely need the space this van provides. I wish others would have a little more accountability and courtesy when parking. Nothing baffles me more than the lifted crew cab f350 taking up 2 handicap spots and they even have a handicap tag.

      The funniest part to me is that i drive a big ass bus for work. It’s the best car i ever owned. Fun to drive, easy to drive, you almost sit on the front wheels, and even if you can stand in the back and load something that is 3m long, it still fits every normal small european parking spot. These fuckers can’t hold shit in their silly trucks, but still can’t fit in the same spots as me.

      And even worse, when they leave the tow hitch in so you have a shin breaker extending over the sidewalk.
