Pull through parking. You know, where there are two spaces so you drive through one into the next so you can pull out of the one you park in without having to back up? I got told that was for β€œgirls and gays”.

If pulling forward into an empty parking space in front of your car is gay, then I guess you'd better start calling me Elton John. What the actual fuck?

Not sure if related, but my wife once told me it was hot watching me put my arm behind her passenger seat, look back and reverse out of a car space.

Now I need to know... are reverse cameras also for girls and gays?

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Along those same lines, aren't backup cameras becoming standard in vehicles?

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They've been mandatory on all new vehicles since 2018

They're puttin' cameras in the cars to turn the friggin' trucks gay! (/s for those who don't know the reference)

That really clashes with the reality of how truck bros actually park. Or does it…?

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Truck bros park in the dead center of 4 spots.

Yeah, sorry, that was me today. Weird day. I'd back up 4 times and still not be able to see the lines.

[–] terminally_offline@infosec.pub 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Get a smaller truck, jfc. What if the lines were children?

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lying on the ground in a parking lot? That would be weird, but maybe they could have called out directions to help me get into a parking space.

It's the same car regardless of location. If you can't see the parking lines then extrapolate, idiot.

Real men know that there is a greater tactical advantage to backing out of a parking spot instead of pulling out.
