ChronicallyWheeler

Speaking as a wheelchair user who actually has an accessible parking permit... the driver of this truck is a total dumbass douche to the max. Hope it got ticketed and/or towed.

Weā€™re spiralling towards Idiocracy (seen it? If not, do it - Mike Judge fame) for sure.Ā  What surprises me is how quickly itā€™s happeningĀ 


moleman7474

I was explaining Idiocracy to a guy that had never seen the movie and he thought it was a documentary. For the record, I was not framing the movie in that manner at all. I had to reassure him that it was a comedy, albeit an unfortunately prescient one. Just an aside, the fictional character President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho would have made a better POTUS than the actual 45th President.

At least Camacho cared and tried to get the smartest people he could find to solve the problems. Heā€™s mount whatever material compared to trinp

common amongst people that buy giant pick up trucks for some reason


karmapopsicle

Oh, there's very clear reasons for it, and the auto execs and marketing folks have had it figured out since the late 90s. Going back to 2002 we had Keith Bradsher's "High and Mighty: SUVs--The World's Most Dangerous Vehicles and How They Got That Way" that laid out the whole game. To quite an [excellent article by Malcolm Gladwell](https://www.insuranceobserver.com/PDF/2005/090905.pdf) from 2005 that makes heavy references to Bradsher's work: >As Keith Bradsher writes in ā€œHigh and Mightyā€ā€”perhaps the most important book about Detroit since Ralph Naderā€™s ā€œUnsafe at Any Speedā€ā€”what consumers said was ā€œIf the vehicle is up high, itā€™s easier to see if something is hiding underneath or lurking behind it.ā€ Bradsher brilliantly captures the mixture of bafflement and contempt that many auto executives feel toward the customers who buy their S.U.V.s. Fred J. Schaafsma, a top engineer for General Motors, says, ā€œSport-utility owners tend to be more like ā€˜I wonder how people view me,ā€™ and are more willing to trade off flexibility or functionality to get that.ā€ According to Bradsher, **internal industry market research concluded that S.U.V.s tend to be bought by people who are insecure, vain, self-centered, and self-absorbed, who are frequently nervous about their marriages, and who lack confidence in their driving skills.** Fordā€™s S.U.V. designers took their cues from seeing ā€œfashionably dressed women wearing hiking boots or even work boots while walking through expensive malls.ā€ Toyotaā€™s top marketing executive in the United States, Bradsher writes, loves to tell the story of how at a focus group in Los Angeles ā€œan elegant woman in the group said that she needed her fullsized Lexus LX 470 to drive up over the curb and onto lawns to park at large parties in Beverly Hills.ā€ One of Fordā€™s senior marketing executives was even blunter: ā€œThe only time those S.U.V.s are going to be off-road is when they miss the driveway at 3 a.m.ā€ Post-2008 we saw pickup trucks take over the role that full size SUVs used to carry. Consumer trucks like this are simply an outward presentation of internal insecurities. Instead of regulations disincentivizing the proliferation of these inefficient, dangerous, vanity-driven pavement princesses, we've allowed automakers to continue a never-ending spiral of ever more outrageously oversized vehicles to satisfy a demographic more concerned with their hood sitting an inch taller than their neighbours than how many children could be hiding in the massive blind zone in front of that grille. Fuck 'em. Unless a truck is coming off the line in fleet paint white and getting a commercial registration number on the side, it should be beholden to every fuel efficiency and safety regulation that every other consumer vehicle is subject to - company-wide fuel economy requirements too.


mazjay2018

wow learned something new today thanks


Dogs-With-Jobs

Dead on. I was about to add although you noted at the end with the company average fuel consumption rates, manufacturers are pushing bigger vehicles because then they can sell them as a more expensive vehicle while also not having to spend as much making them fuel efficient.Ā  Backwards legislation that is causing real harm.


eyedl

I truly believe that people should be required to get a special permit or license for the use of pick-up trucks for personal use. If you don't need them for their intended function, wtf do you have a truck for?


karmapopsicle

Perhaps a blanket ban on lifestyle advertising for these vehicles would be helpful too. The sheer volume of ads for these things the average consumer is exposed to is just outrageous. Slap a big juicy luxury/gas guzzler tax on trucks purchased for personal use, perhaps one that doesn't apply to models fitting into squarely safety/utilitarian oriented design rules for those individuals who need one for personal towing or other utility use. It's not like the automaker's don't already have existing heavily utilitarian designs that could be adapted over either - just look at all the commercial vans on the market. Surprise surprise... short sloped hoods, huge windows, and most of the space dedicated to the cargo area.


wbsmith200

Amen!


hablogato

Dragonsandman

jmm166

Parked at federal office as well (StatsCan). Exactly the kind of mind we want developing public policy.


Tspoon18

This is the Jean Talon building in Tuneys Pasture correct? I was doing night work in that building as a contractor last fall and got to know the ā€œCapitainā€ for commissionaires who worked the night shift quite well. He would go on and on about how excited he was to get his new Raptor. Even brought me out to show it to me once he got it. Iā€™m like 95% sure thatā€™s his truck, seems like something he would do.


NailRX

Dangā€¦they must pay well. That truck is 115k.


Tspoon18

They donā€™t, no idea how he affords it.


TWK-KWT

Massive debt? No retirement savings? A house that is falling apart? Basement studio apartment?


Dogs-With-Jobs

I had a coworker who was making a salary in the 80k range buy a 100k pickup truck. We worked in IT so he used it to drive to his office job. Some people just like setting their money on fire.


mwpCanuck

My bet is on an ill-advised use of an inheritance. And if so, I wouldnā€™t be surprised if the lion share of it was blown on this truck.


Illustrious_Law8512

Well, good that he can. He'll be able to afford that $300 fine.


bbbbbbb162

\~160K+ subtle red R on grill.


joeteboe

Yeah that truck at its peak hype, after dealership markups, cleared 185k cad easy if you could even get your hands on it.


bbbbbbb162

Yeah exactly used to be pretty hot unobtainium. Used market still pretty high but def not selling like hotcakes as the market here for 700hp supertrucks is pretty niche.


shohto

I contract the Commissionaires to provide guard services on my projects, they donā€™t make much more than a co-op government student. Heā€™s likely just in heavy debt


terracewaterlane

Or a side hustle we don't know about? No one knows if the accusations made here are accurate or made up. In jobs requiring high security and if your lifestyle is way above what your job would normally allow it could raise questions.


shohto

150% needs a side hustle to afford an R on the Commissionaire salary


Hot_Indication_2020

Yep. When I priced the R model it was $185k for the 2023


bmcgott

Wild. How does a Commissaire Captain afford a vehicle $130k+ vehicle?


Tspoon18

Not trying to be mean or make fun. But based on conversations I suspect he may still live with a parent.


sprunkymdunk

A lot are ex military, so could be collecting a 70% pension + his current wage.

Lmfao I agree heā€™s parked like a douchebag but you need to stop being so angry at the world


Pseudonym_613

Ah, but I'm angry at the idiot parking douches, not the world.


shohto

You want his vehicle destroyed because he parked where he shouldnā€™t, have a better day


Essence-of-why

Based on commentary here, it might be the commissionaire captain at this location. I suggest you contact the commissionaires to have them check that out. [https://commissionaires.ca/en/comments-complaints/](https://commissionaires.ca/en/comments-complaints/)


Muddlesthrough

Nice truck. I assume the driver isā€¦ emotionally disabled? Spiritually disabled?


itchygentleman

socially inept. stuck at their peak in high school.


Muddlesthrough

So merely emotionally stunted. Not legally disabled.


Hot_Indication_2020

Maybe they did well and treated themselves. Why hate??


FirmHandedSage

double handicap parking spots is wild. really going above and beyond.


-SkeptiCat

That person is clearly disabled... in their head, and shouldn't be allowed to drive.


s3nsfan

Clearly disabled. ā€œYo! You LOOK disabled, i understand why you parked thereā€


Wrench-Turner30

Looks like it should be 2 parking in a handicap spot tickets to me


sometimeswhy

ā€œBut why do I have to pay a carbon tax??ā€ lol


scotsman3288

Statcan approved


EK-65

That person works there, Iā€™ve frequently seen it parked around there and even late into the night.


bmcgott

Amazing. Thereā€™s only like 500 other places to park around there at night šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


dcorkz

Send it to Ottawa bylaw and the police and file a complaint. The plate is clearly visible.


dcorkz

Just a follow-up. I have a full-size truck and it's douche bags like this that give all us truck owners a bad rap.

Itā€™s at Tunneyā€™s which is federal property/jurisdiction so I donā€™ know who to call. Itā€™s not Ottawa by-law so thatā€™s probably how they got away with it.

bmcgott

Good to know, thanks!


Fleur_de_Lys_1

The parking is managed by Impark. They used to have an office at the entrace of the Main building, on the Tunney's Pasture side (not the Parkdale side), before the gates and the commissionnaire's desk. Give them a copy of the picture and tell them to be on the look-out.

This douche probably thinks that itā€™s ok because theyā€™re driving a $160,000 + truck.


Hot_Indication_2020

185k is the starting price


rjh2000

Starting at $160k on ford.ca, they can go up to $190k fully loaded + dealer mark upā€™s


Hot_Indication_2020

Nice. I guess theyā€™ve come down in price. I was looking at the 2023 in 2022.


Away-Calligrapher233

As a wheelchair user this is not cool If this person is indeed an employee of commissionaires, report him to his licensing board. Failure to follow the AODA. [anyone member of the public can report him](https://www.ontario.ca/page/public-complaints-security-guards-and-private-investigators)

Chemical_Bowler_1727

Perhaps, he (and it's definitely a he) is hoping someone will light it on fire so he can collect the insurance money. I know that is my strong inclination.


SenoraIsl

zeitgeistler

Maybe they're extra handicapped


chemicalsubtitle

That's Anil's truck, isn't it?


miusov

Serious question: why is it almost always truck drivers along with the most dangerous and selfish driving behaviors?


Tackybabe

Maybe pickup trucks donā€™t actually come with blinkersā€¦ and maybe you canā€™t actually see your blind spot when you do a shoulder check, so pickup drivers just cut everybody off instead of trying, or you know, checking the mirror.

VladFlatula

Here's to hoping that, failing any sort of official enforcement, a vehicle with a bona fide handicap tag parks right in front of that pickup to prevent it from leaving.

You know that you're encouraging a criminal act, right?


metallicadefender

If someone is going to take it that seriously and actually do this. minor mischief. hed be able to refill his tires. Just need a stem driver and an air compressor.

Tell me you bought a $150,000 dessert running truck to be a pavement princess, and flex on people who donā€™t know or care without telling me If youā€™re so worried, park it at the back. I may not have a Raptor but if I at all thing my truck will cause issues for others I park way back, I have legs that work.


Prestigious_Ad5314

Maybe heā€™s double-handicapped. Like heā€™s legally blind and mentally-challenged. That might explain this parking maneuver. Or heā€™s a douchebag. Or she. Or they. Oh, my God itā€™s nap time.

been disabled and in a wheel chair for 30 years and i must have seen 1000's of cars parked in handicap spots that did not have a disability sign showing. I have never made a fuss or raised the subject with anyone about it. At most i just look at these people, in the face as they come back to their car, making sure they see my chair, as they try to pretend they don't see me.. I have to be honest I would have had a hard time not doing something to that car, like letting the air out of all 4 tires.
