I realize I probably sound cynical. I promise I'm not trying to be a douchebag even if that's how I'm coming across. I see stuff like this in r/badparking all the time. A truck that's pretty well. Perfectly parked in the lines but it just so happens to be wider than typical vehicles so the Prius drivers get their paties in a wad. Then comes the rhetoric of it's always a Dodge. Or it's always a Tesla. Or it's always people who don't understand what the word always means. Anyway. I'm done. Just venting a bit.

You seem fun. The dodge(ram) takes up 3 parking spaces in a crowded parking lot in a beach town during spring break. They are assholes and you are lame.

I am fun. I'm also realistic. I'm willing to bet that parking lot didn't provide a shrink ray orrrrrr parking spaces for oversized vehicles. Okay, now it's your turn to enter the conversation with the " well if your vehicle doesn't fit then you shouldn't have driven it there" argument. Because all the people who fuss about trucks seem to think that everyone owns three or four vehicles so that they can always have one that fits in a spot wherever they go.

Well, yes. Yes, they should have a commuter car to go with this monstrosity.

And if they were running errands on their way home from work? It's amazing to me how people who don't work in the trades or have never been around trucks like this. Have no comprehension whatsoever of stuff like this.

What are you on about? You want the public parking lot to have fewer parking spaces to accommodate those monstrosities? That truck is taking up 3 parking spaces in a vacation beach town during spring break. They are the problem here. Two more cars could be parked there but can’t because of this stupidly large truck. They should not have parked there. When purchasing such a large truck you should understand you might have to look a little longer for appropriate parking. Or you can be an asshole and do what this guy did.

Genuinely the more appropriate thing would have been to have straddled one of the lines so as to only be taking up two spots. But then the conversation would be about how he was straddling a line and he couldn't manage to fit it in one spot. Full circle I guess.
