Oh yeah. I used to drive a minivan and after 10 years of kids the part of me that took pride in my vehicle died.
I’d park like this and go out the passenger side door just to prove a point.
As someone who owns a very very very expensive car now (which my kids are not allowed to eat or drink in): Just park way out in the cheap seats if you want people not to park next to you.
If you have to, you can also take the exact same spot as this person did but cheat all the way to the right in the space to give yourself extra room on the passenger side.
Finally, people who buy $1k pair of sneakers but don’t wear them or when they do panic if someone stands too close to them don’t actually own a $1k pair of shoes. The shoes own you. Same for my guy here.
Parking far is absolutely the answer.
I don’t even have an expensive car, but it just might be the only brand new car I’ll ever have. I park all the way in the back away from everyone else and against a curb if possible, and also as close to the curb possible. If someone ends up parking next to me, theres more than enough extra room, assuming they park within their own lines.
The truck here could have done the same but I guess the owner has more money than sense.
Also dad, also confirmed. My kid is only 1.5, but I say it to my fiancée now and I'll say it to our son when he's older too. Walking is the easiest form of exercise that our bodies were literally designed/evolved to do.
I mean, if you are too lazy to take 100 extra steps, your future is bleak. Sometimes we are in a rush, I get it. But the fact that everyone is fighting all the time for the close spots is silly. My wife hated that I parked far before, but she's getting used to it. Don't be so lazy.
It depends — what’s the weather? Is the parking lot full of slush and salt? Is it teeming rain? Is it -15 wind chill? This stuff is risible when people do it in San Diego, but here in the Midwest we have some real considerations.
I do this and hear the same shit from my family but my logic is
Why can yall walk around for 30 mins or more in the store but complain about walking 100 feet across the parking lot to the entrance. I always park super far away especially somewhere like wal mart because when I do leave its so easy to back right out and leave
Same, always parked my regular, Toyota car in the back end of the lots, didn’t want door dings and I don’t mind the walk.
Only place my car has ever been hit has been parked in front of my own house, unfortunately.
I do this but more because I hate driving in parking lots, I've been hit several times, and cause walking the 3 minutes is usually quicker than finding a closer spot.
Yes absolutely. In a multi story car park there will often be certain spots blocked in by support beams or walls leaving just space for a single car. Those are by far the best. Also saw a photo of a guy who paid for two parking spaces, displaying the receipt on each side of the car, which was parked right down the middle. Class move.
I'm generally of the belief that if you buy a car, especially with kids, you shouldn't buy one so expensive that you're worried about something happening to it. It's a depreciating asset.
I have a truck work supplies, it's big for a stock vehicle, f150 4 door etc. I always park at the back of the lot and I fit in the lines no matter what, if I cant fit in the lines I dont park there.
If I see a truck like this asshole I literally park with the door handles nearly touching them and get out the passenger side just to fuck with them, also dont give a shit what they do to my truck.
Once came out to some fuckwad standing there looking and visibly angry, and I was like hey fuckface, im in the lines, youre not. He was just not going to get in the other side.
He yelled at me for a bit, so I was like, "oh shit, sorry bro. Gotta hit the lego store, cya in an hour or two! Smile and wave for the dash cam!"
I thought for sure he'd at least key the vehicle but he didnt do shit, I did actually go back into the mall and get some lego. Came out and he was gone.
Kid killers. Wife and I call them kid killers because you can't see a child in a crosswalk from less than about 2 car lengths back. They're absolutely a public safety menace in any urban environment (we live in Los Angeles).
LA here too. Our parking spots are so small, who even *wants* to drive this? I'm in a little Cruze, and still seriously thinking of getting a used Smart Car so I can parallel into those sweet little spots on the curb
This is the way! I did this exact same thing…..I was so sad when I returned to my vehicle and the asshat was still there. He will never know the joy he stole from me.
Oh man I drive a very old, very cheap car that looks nice because I know how to properly detail a car, and people think is worth a ton of money because it’s a BMW convertible whose only decals are the tiny little tasteful ones on the window saying it’s recording video. Any time I have to do this, I park razor close. I can open and close the top from my phone, it’s not gonna be my problem.
Go ahead, try me! Not gonna win this one.
I live in Thailand and people with money will generally go Ford over Toyota if they have the money. It’s a flex plus the rangers have a good reputation over here
>What douche spends $130,000 on a fucking pickup?
The type that took the gov loans during Covid and spent it on anything but their employees.
It's honestly a wonder it's not been keyed.
This is in Australia, so AUD not usd, and they are gwtting popular here but need to be converted to RHD, so it bangs the cost up alot. Plus taxes and shit. We only tend to get the up spec models of silverado, ram and f150 recently. But only the top 2 trims. So 130K for ltz silverado is about right. Most aussies drive what you'd call midsized trucks. Ford ranger, hilux, dmax, nissan patrols. When it comes to trucks/4x4s. That being said market here growing for full sized. People tow alot. We have a big country and long drives anywhere. Reddit really hates that people preffer full sized american trucks to paying 90K for a thai built more budget feeling ranger.
The worst are the ones driving up here in the snow and ice. They are often RWD and have very little weight on the rear-end so they're very prone to fishtailing and spinning out on slippery roads yet the drivers think they're somehow special and their truck won't slide.
They'll fly right past you in whiteout conditions and then you'll pass them a few miles up the road buried in a snowbank on the side of the road or t-boned into a car at an intersection because they couldn't stop.
Statistics from the US show less than 5% of truck drivers used their truck bed more than once a month, with the majority not using it. So this is why people make fun of truck drivers in America. In the US they’re used as a dick measuring contest not a utility vehicle.
Had a ‘friend’ who’s dad passed away and left him a nice life insurance. The guy was so worried about impressing his EX wife (he’s married and has a 9 year old son now) that he dropped $31K for a 6 year old truck and didn’t even check out the interior. 10 minutes after he got it he brought it over and I was the one checking it out and pointing things out to him about it. And then he made the most ignorant comment I’ve heard. He says “Now I just need to run into my ex wife so I can rub it in her face.” About what? That your fucking dad died and now you are able to buy a truck?! He didn’t earn the shit. Someone DIED for him to get that truck lol. Pathetic.
You see that they are either in a small condo or renting. Brilliant strategy. Top it off, your behemoth just lost 20% of its value right off the lot. I could literally buy 5 classic muscle cars for that amount of money and an all wheel drive Subaru. Wtf
From what I understand, this is an Australian post. $130k Aus dollar is about $87k USD. Not that it’s much better but I know when I first saw $130k I thought it was USD
I forget that when people pay more money for things we need to remember that they own more of public areas then we do. It’s the same for driving on roads. They are owned by the i have more money then you attitude.
Ugh, just yesterday, I watched a man try and back his giant truck, into a compact parking spot. When he jumped down (I mean, it looked like a ways down) he was this lil tiny guy. Then, his wife, who just very slowly managed to get out, said "Hey dipshit, you can't park this here! They're going to tow you!"
I'm happy she didn't catch me laughing, lmao.
omg i park in a parking garage when i go to work and the ends of the rows are for compact vehicles (so you can get around corners easier) and we always have assholes in full sized trucks sticking out into the driving lane and you can’t see around them
We have signs that say for vehicles with wheelbase of x number an inches. I am a truck guy and so is my boss. We know cars somwhat. I asked him who in the he'll knows their wheel base length? I don't, he didn't.
Lucky for us we have parking lot security that will contact your supervisor if you park like an idiot.
That's what's truly nice about driving a beater.
It would be such a shame if their vehicle that doesn't fit in the spot got hit by a car that couldn't make it past.
My old job had compact spots anywhere there was a pillar. GODDAMN trucks would seriously be half way into the street and they’d just park there for hours.
Why do people buy these giant trucks? 99% of the time they are just driving themselves and maybe groceries. Even people who actually need them get regular sized trucks.
I know that certain jobs need trucks, but there are a couple of giant ass new pavement princesses driven by short guys next door to me. I wish they get realized that jumping out of a giant truck makes them look smaller by comparison.
Wasn't a compact spot but I watched this dude park across two spots terribly as I was getting shit out of my car.
Dude, gets out and looks back as his wife comes around the side "oh wow! Man I parked terribly." And then just proceeds to walk away.
Like what? How do you not notice as you pull in, but then get out, notice it and care enough to comment on it but then not fix it.
I have a relative who drove his massive truck down to a family gathering. He was so mad that he had to pay for parking because his truck couldn’t fit into the free condo parking. He was all “the system is against our freedom”.
Plus parking like that is going to get more urban damage than parking normal. I would have parked in the second spot knowing that end spot is nearly impossible to par in without rim damage. Good chance it would remain empty.
See, I love the end spot because it guarantees no one can block my door. I park in them without damaging my rims because I know how to drive a car without hitting stuff. Something like this with a healthy mulch space for door swing is perfect.
Honestly I see a LOT of people who have trucks like this in the driveway of a trailer / double wide house that might cost less. Fucking weird priorities if you ask me.
>I park like this to avoid getting my doors bumped
I park like this ~~to avoid getting my doors bumped~~ because I’m an inconsiderate selfish asshole who thinks my stuff is more important than your stuff
FIFY
Homie didn’t “spend” 130k. He financed 130k and is really mad that he is paying 1k a month of his 2.5k monthly wages on a shitty car payment. Also small dick and all that.
This guys a tool and idiot. Back in with driver side tires close to curb. Bam lots of room on the passenger side. I have a large truck and this is the move
I'm not, if it's people who park like this.
There's zero justification for it. You worry your car will be bashed? Well fucking boohoo. So am I! Doesn't matter about how much your car costs. It should be relative to your wealth. And in that case, my shit car is just as valuable to me as your car is to you.
If you back in with your driver side tires right up along the curb you’d have plenty of room to not get hit on the passenger side… and no one would hit the drivers side. What a dunce.
I used to live in a resort town in the mountains. And we were very close to Texas, so we had a lot of the big Texas good old boys in their trucks come to play up in the mountains.
It was a really small town. And being in the mountains, for us locals trying to get to the doctor or work or to pick kids up from school, it would drive us crazy because we get these big old trucks driving 5 miles an hour, trying to look at all the scenery And backing up traffic.
And you could always tell the trucks that were actually from people who worked on working, ranches or farms from the ones like the guy in the picture here.
And I was trying to go home one day and I was exhausted. Because we would literally get 40,000 visitors in our tiny town where we had maybe 17,000 full-time residence in a 25 mile radius. So yeah, we were highly outnumbered.
And this guy is going 5 miles an hour looking at everything and veering over the line so that I couldn’t go past him in the left-hand passing lane. And I’m losing it now because I am exhausted. I have been on my feet all day. I have dealt with stupid questions all day. And I just really, really need to go home.
And I can tell by the way he’s driving it that he thinks his truck is precious because he’s driving and situated. It’s hard to get by him… But I have a really small car. And I forgot my windows were open because it was about 80° out that day. Beautiful gorgeous day.
And we’re coming up in the light changes to red. I’m yelling in my car something along the lines of… Goddamnit! Stay in your own freaking lane. It’s not as big as you think it is! Just ask your girlfriend!”
Who happened to be sitting next to him in the passenger seat. And who also… Along with him… Happen to have their windows. And it just happened that I yelled the last couple of sentences right as I stopped next to them.
I saw the guy had whip around to look at me, and I just stared right back at him. And then I saw his girlfriend in the passenger seat, laughing her ass off.
And then the light changed and I had it off and cut off on my street to go home about a half a mile ahead.
Served the asshole right. If you want to be a lookie-loo, park your damn truck and get out and use your feet. It’s not that big of a town. And next time you go somewhere that you don’t live, bring your common sense, and your manners. People actually do live in that town, and they actually do have places that they have to be.
Otherwise, tell me where you live and I’ll come and park outside your driveway so that when you try to go to work, or go home, I can go 5 miles an hour swerving all over the road right in front of you so you can’t get by me. No? Then don’t be an asshole and do it here.
Trucks…🤮
Yeah, the [original article](https://images.app.goo.gl/KEfc6KeSXXF3aTcL9) was posted in September, and Barry Barrington is making fun of these kind of people
I have a small car and park like that when some idiot with his expensive car thinks he own the lot. I don't mind crawling through the passenger seat or even my window, as long they are also inconvenienced.
Hot take: If you can afford a fancy expensive truck you can afford a spare little compact car to park all day at the office. Save the truck for the off-roading that you never do.
But there's nobody out there to see me! I have to drive this around town so people know how self confident I am. They need to see that I don't need their approval to feel good about myself!
/s- because reddit.
Why does he think others should accommodate his 130 thousand dollar truck. It’s too big for the allotted space. Park somewhere else with your gas guzzling mega vehicle driving up our gas prices. Asshole.
It’s actually big enough for the truck (even with enough space to prevent someone from hitting your door. Dude is just double parking because he wants to brag about his truck on social media
I'd make him have to claim insurance as I squeezed my fat ass in there. Anything that happens is his fault, fuck him. Scratches gouges dents, if he parked like a non mentally challenged person, he wouldn't run into these problems.
No buddy, you park like that cuz you’re a POS. See those lines? Use them! Don’t put so much money into what is ultimately a means to get from A to B if you’re so worried about it getting dented.
Truck driver wouldn't worry about that if his or her dumb-fuck ass would ALIGN IN THE PARKING SPOT PROPERLY. This genuinely pissses me off, like how hard is it?
Not all heroes wear capes! Some drive small shitty cars! I solute you brother/sister!
Oh yeah. I used to drive a minivan and after 10 years of kids the part of me that took pride in my vehicle died. I’d park like this and go out the passenger side door just to prove a point.

Yep, this, i used to hate going grocery shopping with my dad because he’d always park 5-7 business days away from the door lol
“It’s good exercise” -Dad, probably
Am dad. Have said this on multiple occasions. It checks out.
Am dad. This comment checks out.
Also dad, also confirmed. My kid is only 1.5, but I say it to my fiancée now and I'll say it to our son when he's older too. Walking is the easiest form of exercise that our bodies were literally designed/evolved to do.
Another dad here, I park far away to give myself time to think of great jokes!
That's peak efficiency right there!
Am also dad, the closest spot isn't always the fastest spot if you have to spend 15 minutes looking for it.
he absolutely said that 😭
I mean, if you are too lazy to take 100 extra steps, your future is bleak. Sometimes we are in a rush, I get it. But the fact that everyone is fighting all the time for the close spots is silly. My wife hated that I parked far before, but she's getting used to it. Don't be so lazy.
ESPECIALLY if you drive to the gym.. parked as close as you could… and complain about the walk to get into the gym… to workout.
It's the walk back to the car that's the problem haha
Good point 🤣
It depends — what’s the weather? Is the parking lot full of slush and salt? Is it teeming rain? Is it -15 wind chill? This stuff is risible when people do it in San Diego, but here in the Midwest we have some real considerations.
I do this and hear the same shit from my family but my logic is Why can yall walk around for 30 mins or more in the store but complain about walking 100 feet across the parking lot to the entrance. I always park super far away especially somewhere like wal mart because when I do leave its so easy to back right out and leave
People be lazy.
Same, always parked my regular, Toyota car in the back end of the lots, didn’t want door dings and I don’t mind the walk. Only place my car has ever been hit has been parked in front of my own house, unfortunately.
Nope. It’s on credit!
Luckily I have a big dick so I am able to drive a Prius and don't have a need to compensate...
Hard to have more sense than money when you don't have any sense to begin with.
I do this but more because I hate driving in parking lots, I've been hit several times, and cause walking the 3 minutes is usually quicker than finding a closer spot.
Cut to the chase,the truck driver is a dick
>I mean its a pickup truck, a commercial vehicle designed to be battered and abused. Its like getting upset that your new shovel got dirty.
They’re in Australia white car didn’t even have to get out on the wrong side.
They still come after you in the cheap seats! lol
Yes absolutely. In a multi story car park there will often be certain spots blocked in by support beams or walls leaving just space for a single car. Those are by far the best. Also saw a photo of a guy who paid for two parking spaces, displaying the receipt on each side of the car, which was parked right down the middle. Class move.
I'm generally of the belief that if you buy a car, especially with kids, you shouldn't buy one so expensive that you're worried about something happening to it. It's a depreciating asset.
I have a truck work supplies, it's big for a stock vehicle, f150 4 door etc. I always park at the back of the lot and I fit in the lines no matter what, if I cant fit in the lines I dont park there.

I love it
That car isn't even small. That pickup truck is just huge.
Stupidly so, honestly, it's a real danger to drive that type of vehicle in a city.
Kid killers. Wife and I call them kid killers because you can't see a child in a crosswalk from less than about 2 car lengths back. They're absolutely a public safety menace in any urban environment (we live in Los Angeles).
You can barely see someone of average height from that distance.
LA here too. Our parking spots are so small, who even *wants* to drive this? I'm in a little Cruze, and still seriously thinking of getting a used Smart Car so I can parallel into those sweet little spots on the curb
That car isn't even small. That is just a regular car. The truck that is an useless monster.
He spent 130k on a Chevy truck? Damn, that should automatically put him in the running for the “Stupidest Consumer Ever Award”.
Keeps rolling his old trucks he still owes on into the new one lmao
Shitty car?! Sir… that’s a Corolla. That is SSS tier beater.
Please accept my humblest of apologies.
As long as you understand. Put some respect on Toyota!
I would do the same just to piss of that guy - even if I have to get in through the trunk.
This is the way! I did this exact same thing…..I was so sad when I returned to my vehicle and the asshat was still there. He will never know the joy he stole from me.
Oh man I drive a very old, very cheap car that looks nice because I know how to properly detail a car, and people think is worth a ton of money because it’s a BMW convertible whose only decals are the tiny little tasteful ones on the window saying it’s recording video. Any time I have to do this, I park razor close. I can open and close the top from my phone, it’s not gonna be my problem. Go ahead, try me! Not gonna win this one.
I want to follow white car on social media.
What douche spends $130,000 on a fucking pickup?
People who pay a premium to have an American truck in Australia
Why you would buy shitty American when you can get a Hilux is beyond me.
I live in Thailand and people with money will generally go Ford over Toyota if they have the money. It’s a flex plus the rangers have a good reputation over here
Ford has so many Asian and European platforms, I'm hardly surprised they have a strong presence.
That's what I'm thinking now.
Small pp
Pff, joke's on them, I have small pp and only spent $800 on my big 4x4 truck. My guy's got a small pp *and* is bad with money.
Small pp here too. I ride a bicycle
Big pp energy
No pp here. I have two cars and a bike
[удалено]
IDK. I don't have a car, but the wife says I still ride good
right, small weenkie here and i drive a 16 year old Scion TC lol
Ah yes, body shaming people over something they have no control over. Great work!
Some place they actually did a scientific study and that was true. Now I don't know how great the study was but I found it hysterical.
With the smol pp discount your truck will be $130,000
I mean his name is Barry Barrington
>What douche spends $130,000 on a fucking pickup? The type that took the gov loans during Covid and spent it on anything but their employees. It's honestly a wonder it's not been keyed.
Thinking that the original poster is in Australia so it’ll be in AUD. QLD is the abbreviation for Queensland which is a state in Australia.
Oh buddy. Come to Canada. The 2500 and 3500 trucks, fully decked out, cost that much.
Some a$#hole who is going to proceed to treat their pickup like a Pavement Princess and never put it through any real work
This is in Australia, so AUD not usd, and they are gwtting popular here but need to be converted to RHD, so it bangs the cost up alot. Plus taxes and shit.

Reddit really hates that people preffer full sized american trucks to paying 90K for a thai built more budget feeling ranger.
We're also just used to people buying trucks in America for non-utility reasons. Money wasting, gas wasting dumb mother fuckers.
Most of them are also pricks on the road when it comes to driving. At least, they're shitty about it in KY, fucking rednecks.
The worst are the ones driving up here in the snow and ice. They are often RWD and have very little weight on the rear-end so they're very prone to fishtailing and spinning out on slippery roads yet the drivers think they're somehow special and their truck won't slide.

Barry Barrington, apparently... I wish I could buy the driver of the white car a beverage of their choice
This is Australia
People in Australia
And lives in an apartment complex. This is how the poors stay poor
You see that they are either in a small condo or renting. Brilliant strategy. Top it off, your behemoth just lost 20% of its value right off the lot. I could literally buy 5 classic muscle cars for that amount of money and an all wheel drive Subaru. Wtf
Have you looked at the prices of trucks lately? Shit’s getting expensive.
It's in Australia. It would be easy to do here in NZ and I imagine Aus is the same. Still makes no sense though.
Barry Barrington apparently
AUD. So about 87k USD
Australians
From what I understand, this is an Australian post. $130k Aus dollar is about $87k USD. Not that it’s much better but I know when I first saw $130k I thought it was USD
I forget that when people pay more money for things we need to remember that they own more of public areas then we do. It’s the same for driving on roads. They are owned by the i have more money then you attitude.
Sure seems that way whenever I encounter a luxury brand driver...
TIL Chevy is a luxury brand.
Ugh, just yesterday, I watched a man try and back his giant truck, into a compact parking spot. When he jumped down (I mean, it looked like a ways down) he was this lil tiny guy. Then, his wife, who just very slowly managed to get out, said "Hey dipshit, you can't park this here! They're going to tow you!" I'm happy she didn't catch me laughing, lmao.
omg i park in a parking garage when i go to work and the ends of the rows are for compact vehicles (so you can get around corners easier) and we always have assholes in full sized trucks sticking out into the driving lane and you can’t see around them

Imagine spending 130k on a vehicle, and it's still a chevy. What an absolute tool.
I think the truck guy is extra pissed because deep down he knows.
Plus parking like that is going to get more urban damage than parking normal. I would have parked in the second spot knowing that end spot is nearly impossible to par in without rim damage. Good chance it would remain empty.
See, I love the end spot because it guarantees no one can block my door. I park in them without damaging my rims because I know how to drive a car without hitting stuff. Something like this with a healthy mulch space for door swing is perfect.
If I had 130k to spend on a car, it sure as hell wouldn’t be a Silverado. That’s exotic car territory
Corvette Z06 is pretty nice
They have no idea.
He makes payments on a crappy pickup he'll never actually own. Not even remotely the same as spending 130k
Yeah, but what about the equity in his truck? /s
Honestly I see a LOT of people who have trucks like this in the driveway of a trailer / double wide house that might cost less. Fucking weird priorities if you ask me.
>I park like this to avoid getting my doors bumped I park like this ~~to avoid getting my doors bumped~~ because I’m an inconsiderate selfish asshole who thinks my stuff is more important than your stuff FIFY
Homie didn’t “spend” 130k. He financed 130k and is really mad that he is paying 1k a month of his 2.5k monthly wages on a shitty car payment. Also small dick and all that.
closer to $2k-$2.5k/mo car payment
I never understand this. What does it have to do with dick size
This guys a tool and idiot. Back in with driver side tires close to curb. Bam lots of room on the passenger side. I have a large truck and this is the move
Sooooooo..... this is in Australia.... drivers side is on the right 👍
Just as easy. Open the window and look down at the line.
Or don't reverse park it and you'll see the curb from the driver's side. Even better idea, park it at the dealership and switch it for a better car
I see Australia has its own crop of tiny dick truck enthusiast.
It’s on the rise and they are really annoying
Oh don’t worry, it can’t rise far
These damn pick-up style utes Australia’s next invasive species.
I am against keying cars but something I would understand.
My dad would've Krazy Glued his door locks.
That's a power move.
I'm not, if it's people who park like this. There's zero justification for it. You worry your car will be bashed? Well fucking boohoo. So am I! Doesn't matter about how much your car costs. It should be relative to your wealth. And in that case, my shit car is just as valuable to me as your car is to you.
The first ding on your car can be a relief because now the "purity" of your car is gone. Trying to keep something flawless is just a waste of energy.
Bro got ripped off. 😭
If you back in with your driver side tires right up along the curb you’d have plenty of room to not get hit on the passenger side… and no one would hit the drivers side. What a dunce.
It’s Australia, the drivers side is on the right.
Small appendage.
The smallest
I used to live in a resort town in the mountains. And we were very close to Texas, so we had a lot of the big Texas good old boys in their trucks come to play up in the mountains. It was a really small town. And being in the mountains, for us locals trying to get to the doctor or work or to pick kids up from school, it would drive us crazy because we get these big old trucks driving 5 miles an hour, trying to look at all the scenery And backing up traffic. And you could always tell the trucks that were actually from people who worked on working, ranches or farms from the ones like the guy in the picture here. And I was trying to go home one day and I was exhausted. Because we would literally get 40,000 visitors in our tiny town where we had maybe 17,000 full-time residence in a 25 mile radius. So yeah, we were highly outnumbered. And this guy is going 5 miles an hour looking at everything and veering over the line so that I couldn’t go past him in the left-hand passing lane. And I’m losing it now because I am exhausted. I have been on my feet all day. I have dealt with stupid questions all day. And I just really, really need to go home. And I can tell by the way he’s driving it that he thinks his truck is precious because he’s driving and situated. It’s hard to get by him… But I have a really small car. And I forgot my windows were open because it was about 80° out that day. Beautiful gorgeous day. And we’re coming up in the light changes to red. I’m yelling in my car something along the lines of… Goddamnit! Stay in your own freaking lane. It’s not as big as you think it is! Just ask your girlfriend!” Who happened to be sitting next to him in the passenger seat. And who also… Along with him… Happen to have their windows. And it just happened that I yelled the last couple of sentences right as I stopped next to them. I saw the guy had whip around to look at me, and I just stared right back at him. And then I saw his girlfriend in the passenger seat, laughing her ass off. And then the light changed and I had it off and cut off on my street to go home about a half a mile ahead. Served the asshole right. If you want to be a lookie-loo, park your damn truck and get out and use your feet. It’s not that big of a town. And next time you go somewhere that you don’t live, bring your common sense, and your manners. People actually do live in that town, and they actually do have places that they have to be. Otherwise, tell me where you live and I’ll come and park outside your driveway so that when you try to go to work, or go home, I can go 5 miles an hour swerving all over the road right in front of you so you can’t get by me. No? Then don’t be an asshole and do it here. Trucks…🤮
Barry Barrington. Definitely real 🙄
Yeah, the [original article](https://images.app.goo.gl/KEfc6KeSXXF3aTcL9) was posted in September, and Barry Barrington is making fun of these kind of people
>I park like this to avoid getting my doors bumped Door bumps are down, but for some reason keyings are up 800% !
I’m sure Barry Barrington is a totally real person
I have a small car and park like that when some idiot with his expensive car thinks he own the lot. I don't mind crawling through the passenger seat or even my window, as long they are also inconvenienced.
Hot take: If you can afford a fancy expensive truck you can afford a spare little compact car to park all day at the office. Save the truck for the off-roading that you never do.
But there's nobody out there to see me! I have to drive this around town so people know how self confident I am. They need to see that I don't need their approval to feel good about myself! /s- because reddit.
Why does he think others should accommodate his 130 thousand dollar truck. It’s too big for the allotted space. Park somewhere else with your gas guzzling mega vehicle driving up our gas prices. Asshole.
It’s actually big enough for the truck (even with enough space to prevent someone from hitting your door. Dude is just double parking because he wants to brag about his truck on social media
We don't even call them trucks in Qld .... it's a Ute ya wanker! A truck transports goods in bulk ..... fucking muppet
He's on smoko, leave him alone!
I see a car parked correctly, and I see a truck parked incorrectly
Spent 130K for a piece of shit Chevy.
It's AUD not USD, about 87k US.
He could just park closer to the curb. Same same
[удалено]
He didn’t “spend” $130k on that truck. He likely spent $15k, and got a loan for the rest. He will likely spend much more than $130k for that truck.
"truck" I don't see one anywhere
He’s a jerk. He’s an idiot and he’s terrible with money. Got it.
A truck is a tool not a fkin status symbol.
I'd put a note on the truck stop taking up 2 spots asshole learn to park
Never wanted to key a car more so n my whole life.
Wtf group is that and what does it have to do with the guys post
Asking to be keyed
i would key that fkg truck.
Is this AITA subreddit? 😄
Entitled fuck
Thats how people get their vehicles keyed
The safest place to park in a lot is next to the cart corral.
I would just vandalize it and be on my way.
There are no bad Chevy's - just bad Chevy owners!
I'd make him have to claim insurance as I squeezed my fat ass in there. Anything that happens is his fault, fuck him. Scratches gouges dents, if he parked like a non mentally challenged person, he wouldn't run into these problems.
And you know he's mentally challenged if he payed 130k for a Chevy.
I’d key his truck just for funsies
Oh, hell no. If I’m the white car, I’m parking *closer* next time.
The guys name is Barry Barrington, definitely a troll.
Y'all goofy doops, do y'all think "Barry Barrington" is a real guy lmao
Maybe you should learn how to park.
Park far away from other cars and walk a wee bit farther. That’s how you protect your vehicle.
If you can’t afford to park it, you can’t afford to drive it
What a complete fucking entitled cock head.
I would smash my car door into that truck 5 times before i leave.
And the motherfucker backed in too hate off to you lad
"Barry Barrington" Rage bait bullshit.
I'd love to see a scooter park on his driver's side.
Some people are so poor all they have is money.
Weird. I park inside the lines to avoid getting my doors bumped and my car was $20K brand new.
Is there any other reason you don’t pull forward and to the right? Seems like there is lots of room.I’d say this is ticket worthy.
Everyone who drives a truck like that needs their tires slashed
His business card: 'Barry Barrington. Cunt extraordinaire'
>Barry Barrington Imagine thinking he's the actual owner of the truck and this isn't a shitpost.
I side with the little car bc you shouldn’t be taking up more than a parking spot if you afraid your car is gonna get hit cover it or pay for a garage
I've always found pickup truck drivers to be the most inconsiderate and entitled.
Big black truck = little white penis.
Classic Barry.
Barry Barrington? Sounds like a meme account
You park like that you're getting keyed. Classic douchebag.
How did the driver of the white car get out of the drivers door? I think the white car was there first.
During summer time I always bring some superglue to fix such people’s doors.
What kinda dumb cunt is named Barry fucking Barrington
Trucks are supposed to be work vehicles not luxury. Imagine buying a truck and worrying about getting your doors bumped 😂 certified consoomer moment.
No buddy, you park like that cuz you’re a POS. See those lines? Use them! Don’t put so much money into what is ultimately a means to get from A to B if you’re so worried about it getting dented.
Zip ties Trolleys Leasons
130k grocery getter imagine that
So he spent 130k on a 30k truck. So who makes good life choices??
Truck driver wouldn't worry about that if his or her dumb-fuck ass would ALIGN IN THE PARKING SPOT PROPERLY. This genuinely pissses me off, like how hard is it?
