The driver is a very wide load and needs the space.
This is what stonetoss fans fap to
u aint wrong
Plot twist: he’s literally hiding in the back seat just jackin it
yall see wasted parking, I see next summer’s heatwaves
Four of the best parking spots, too, judging by the handicap spaces nearby.
That’s what gets me on these things. If you want to be a dick and make sure your car isn’t hit go park or in the boonis! Nobody goes out there, don’t have to worry about carts, take as many spots as you want! Shoot for a record of you want try to get 6! But why tf are you doing it in close parking spots?

I’d like to imagine your manager went over to the pretzel place and tossed a bottle of everclear into the deep-fryer to start a fire, instead of just pulling the alarm.
This just reminds me of something out of Better Call Saul for some reason.
I can see Jimmy doing this, and putting on some giant grimace for emphasis just as he pulls the lever down.
Or I could see mike doing this casually as fuck just as he walks by the alarm as if it’s nothing.
You can see on the next line over, there are a ton of empty spots right up front. This is probably some place that’s not open to the public or whatever, or else they just have way more parking spots than they actually need.
This should be illegal.
It is, just isn’t enforced.
Is it illegal on private property? I thought it was up to the owners to have them towed
Not sure why you got down voted, it’s a legitimate question. I don’t think the police enforce traffic laws in parking lots, outside of handicapped spots and fire lanes. Even then, they probably won’t respond unless a building tenant calls them.
I don’t think the police enforce traffic laws in parking lots
In France, the “traffic code” applies everywhere, even in parking lots where you have to drive on the right side, stop at the stop sign, and park where it’s allowed. I guess it’s equivalent in the USA or other countries.
In Germany the traffic law only applies to public roadways, plaxes
It’s the same in Australia. Road rules apply on the road and “road related areas”, including your own driveway
ProTip: you can easily deflate a car’s tires by placing a small pebble in the valve cap before screwing it back on
Direct action person right here… love it.
These people seem to forget the classic FAFO maxim, looks like they need to be reminded.
ProTip: Don’t do this. It’s unsafe, petty revenge. There are other parking spots clearly available so not that serious of an issue.
Better yet, with a valve core removal tool, you can flatten them all in seconds and make it harder to fix.
I keep a few screws in my car to prop up under the tires of people who park like this.
Good way to get shot by the owner
Jokes on him, I’m also carrying : ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ )
only in murica
You think this vehicle is being driven anywhere else?
i suppose less common in other countries but not non-existent
I used to condone this, but people are stupid and can drive on the flat tire until it explodes, potentially putting other peoples lives at risk.
Not worth it for some petty revenge.
That’s why you gotta do all four.
Can take hours to fully deflate, they could be on the Highway home by the time they go flat enough to be noticeable.
Hmmm you seem to know a little too much about this lol
Maybe I’ve had someone have this happen to them and the tire exploded and hurt an innocent bystander. It’s a large world.
The possibility is there if you think for more than a few seconds on the possible consequences of something.
Or we’re just having a little fun ribbing on the internet?
Didnt need life advice lol but thanks
You might think that this is clearly a joke. That no one would actually do this. But you don’t know how the people at the other keyboards are going to take it. Case in point.
suggest that people commit vandalism
get called out for it
I WAS ONLY JOKING YOU GUYS
Don’t fuck with other peoples’ tired my dude. Period.
I guess you could leave a sticky note on driver’s window that says something like “oopsie woopsie I noticed your tires are deflated, this car is unsafe to drive :(”. Also you could just unscrew the valve core to make sure tires deflate quickly.
No no no, gotta be worse than that. Leave a note apologizing for the damage. There is no damage. They’ll be looking for hours
I like it. A note that says, “I thought I could squeeze in but there wasn’t enough room. Sorry about the damage.” Might make them reconsider doing this again.
I’ve been told if you do all four insurance might be more apt to cover it, best to do one to three of them that way it might not be covered
That’s for knifing. There’s no physical damage here.
No, if you do all four insurance will cover it. Only do three.
If you have comprehensive coverage, this will be covered. If the damage is of less value than your deductible, you won’t receive any money.
This is a myth. You can google it if you don’t believe me
You see those white lines they parked over? Yeah, it would be funny if someone took some white masking tape and put it on the truck to look like they painted the parking lot lines over the truck…
Can’t help but wonder how someone would react seeing that shit LOL!
It is my opinion that it should be legal to paint said stripes on someone’s car if they park over the line. Should really hammer just how much of an asshole someone is if they have multitudes of stripes.
This is when you put a small pebble under each of the tire valve caps and screw them down tight enough to depress the spring, open the valve, and let the air out all of the tires
Hey Satan, how’s it going?
Well, that guy is clearly a massive prick, but let’s also talk about how fucking ugly that truck is. I don’t know when everyone decided that land yacht pickup trucks were the bees knees, but they’re not. They’re just dumb and so. goddamn. ugly.
These trucks got huge for literally no reason and can’t for what I’ve read about it, they also lost cargo capacity over the years. So if you want an actual decent truck of this kind you must buy a old one.
Also partly responsible for an increase in pedestrian fatalities.
You mean their Emotiional Support Truck.
Pavement princess
That would be the US EPA and whomever influenced them in the Carter administration to classify trucks as regulated differently than other passenger vehicles. It unironically financially encourages SUVs over vans and bigger bodied trucks over smaller ones.
It’s killed the work truck, the small truck, and literal pedestrians.
Their intentions were fine at the time and it has resulted in average miles per gallon within their class going way up but it needs to be amended. The shifting of sales eats into any fuel efficiency gains. Regulate them the same as any passenger vehicle and give me my utility back.
I wish small pickups were still a thing
Ford had new rangers on the lot when I was shopping for my truck
New rangers aren’t that small. I really like the size of old rangers, colarados, Toyota Tacomas. Those were reasonably sized trucks meant for utility. Not for dick swinging contests and skirting EPA regulations.
I found it very small. Smaller than my mid size SUV I was replacing and I couldn’t even get in the driver seat. But obviously ymmv
The Maverick is (comparatively) a small modern pickup. It’s the whole reason I chose it. I always wanted a truck, but I absolutely detested how big and inefficient they were, so I never bothered. I had a Maverick come in for a remote start last year and got to look at it and I quite liked it, ended up ordering one of my own that same year.
Just check the bed. If there’s a liner, chances are the truck is needed. If it’s clean, it’s a vanity truck.
I own a 350 and am very aware of just how big this truck is. But I do need the pulling power for work related things. I’ve also used it to help people that have broken down.
I haven’t seen a new truck without a bed liner in decades. I apparently thought they were standard equipment.
If you need one, you need one, but I’m confident that a tiny percentage of these things are used for actual work. Also: still ugly. Sorry.
Yeah, not standard. And I guess if they’re that common where you are then check the wear of the liner. Like another commenter said, they get fucked up pretty quickly. It’s easy to tell if a truck is vanity or not just by looking at the bed. I’ve called people out for driving them. It’s especially humiliating for the guys because I’m a woman.
I also appreciate that you’re confident in your assessment without actually talking to any of those people. Assuming just makes an ass out of u and me.
As someone who lives in Texas and every other vehicle in the road is an oversized pickup, fuck em.
They drive worse faster the douchy chargers/mustangs and somehow manage to use their blinker less often than a BMW driver.
I drive 3/4 or one ton trucks for work. They suck to drive. You feel every bump, they sway on corners or with wind, and parking is a nightmare. I have no idea why somebody would drive them around for vanity.
I piss off my teenage son all the time using the outlander sport I bought for him. For driving around town it’s awesome.
Yeah that sounds about right. My liner is already marked up and I’ve had it since March lol. I haul large items almost daily for work.
So you have it from work and also use it privately?
No, they own the truck for work.
Right. Not wealthy enough to have separate vehicles for personal and work
At least you get to write the cost of your vehicle off on your taxes, unlike everyone else.
There is a lot of anger, frustration, and unacknowledged insecurity going into vehicle purchases in the US.

FTFY
No argument here. The wasteful and dangerous vehicles are just a minor symptom of our cultural issues.
I agree. The amount of unrequited hate is disturbing.
For real dude, there’s no decent sized mid sized pickups anymore. I drove my '99 dodge Dakota forever and loved the size! It even had a V8 compared to most of the newer land yachts with 4 bangers and v6s.
I don’t need a block on wheels, I just need a smaller pickup because I camp and haul shit enough to justify needing one vs a car or suv.
Buy an Aussie import ute. They’re exactly what you want and not common in the US so you have a fashion statement.
Last I’d checked, it was virtually impossible to import non-DOT-approved cars to the US. You basically had to take them apart and then assemble them here as “kit cars” to get around stupid grey market rules.
You can either bring in a 25 year old one, or rebody a local Chevy SS or Pontiac G8 with a ute shell.
I know; it’s so easy it’s a wonder we don’t see more of them!
I had a '93 F150 for a few years. It was a v8 5.8L with an extended bed. Until… I let my friend borrow it and he… redlined it for several miles in first gear, (accidentally put it in 1st gear instead of into drive, and didn’t noticed the extremely loud engine and the fact that he couldn’t go over 20mph… yes, he is that stupid lmao) until it began smoking and he pulled it into a random driveway. And then as if that weren’t bad enough, the genius homeowner popped the hood and hosed down the engine which, if you know anything about cars or metal, was the dumbest thing he could’ve done. Cracked up the whole thing. 😭
But that thing was a fucking beast man. These new trucks can’t even fit a fucking 2x4 or a sheet of OSB in the bed. They are useless.
Safety regulations has a lot to do with it too. They have to squeeze in airbags and all the safety tech which would leave no room to sit in that older Dakota.
So, I don’t know if it’s still an issue but I know the whole land yacht thing started because of emissions standards. The US used to (they might still) set emissions standards based on wheel base rather than vehicle type. The larger the wheel base the looser the emissions standards. The thought was that vehicles that needed a larger wheelbase like large work trucks would always have higher emissions so they wanted to take that into account. But what actually happened is manufacturers just started making larger and larger vehicles to take advantage of the more lax emissions standards.
I think the wheelbase based emissions standards thing has been fixed now, but I don’t know where I heard that so it might even still be a thing.
This screams hashtag - you park like an asshole!
Four spots
One asshole
I would totally park as close as possible to this guy and make him have to go through the passenger side.
There’s definitely room for a compact car on the truck’s driver side. And if the compact is a hatchback then easy entry.
doesn’t look crowded tho so 🤷♀️

Remember: if he’s not going to follow the rules, then neither do you. It’s fair game to park right next to him.
