Let's say I'm driving through a packed parking lot. My eyes are peeled, looking for that holy grail of spots.
I think I see one.
Could it be?
It's open.
I start to turn my car.
And that's when I see it. A big, nasty, honkin truck taking up two parking spots. If it wasn't for my compact car, I would love nothing more than to back up and ram my car right into that truck.
But seriously, do large trucks/SUVs really need to take up two spots when it could easily fit in between the lines of one? There can only be 3 reasons this occurs:
1) It's an ego thing. This needs no explanation.
2) Truck drivers are scared of having their doors dinged. I always find it funny that drivers of nice trucks are scared of getting scratches or going off road. IT'S A TRUCK! It's not made to show off its new paint job while driving 2 mph down a parade. It's made to carry dirt, mud, wood, kangaroo bouncy castles, you name it.
3) Truck drivers are horrible parkers. Now this I can understand a little bit if the parking lot is relatively full and you are forced to squeeze in a spot. But what I'm talking about is when trucks are blatantly between two spots. Unless they are blind, this is unacceptable.
After living in rural Nebraska, and now in Tallahassee FL, I feel like I've seen my share of pick-up truck bullies. If you're one of them, I beg of you, stop!
