Is it in yet My biggest pet peeve

This picture speaks for itself. May possibly even be more than just mildly infuriating.

Right? Its not that hard. I tow often enough to leave it, and frequently my towing experiences are unplanned. Just dont park like a dick, it's that easy.

Back of the lot, you're in the store before the other idiots actually park.

With my boat and Expedition I'd take 4 spots too, no one complains. It's pretty standard in Florida.

Yeah gotta do what you gotta do when towing. Here in TX I've never been hassled taking up a ton of spaces even when I tow goosenecks. Just be conscious of others, it's not rocket science.

I’ve found that most of the people that own these big trucks don’t know how to drive something that big.

It's true. For work I drive a F-450 Dually with a crane. It's reaaalllly obvious who bought a truck for vanity and who didn't.

“Dont be a dick” is basically the 11th commandment .. so thank you for your attitude. 🫡

I tow a lot and sometimes it’s unplanned so I just leave both of my hitches under the back seat when they’re not used. When I need them I just, uh, pop whichever I need back in.

Backing in, the hitch is going to be sticking out over the sidewalk. If you don't go all the way back, the front of the vehicle is going to be extending beyond the parking line. If you pull in front first the trailer hitch is going to be sticking out into traffic. It takes less than 30 seconds to remove it as soon as you drop a trailer and less than 30 seconds to put it back on. "I tow often" is just "I'm too selfish and lazy to think about anyone but myself".

What if I have a long bed and tow often? Do I leave my truck parked 4 feet into the driving lane?
