I feel like you’re an asshole if you buy a 22 foot long pickup to take to IKEA.

Next sign: ok, you're just an a-hole for buying a 22ft vehicle.

If this person works in a trade that requires heavy hauling of equipment and matrials, fine. They need this truck.

If this person is using it to make up for personal inadequacies then fuck them for buying a monstrosity that pollutes like hell and wasted gasoline.

Even my company work van is only like.. 15ft long.. and it can fit basically anything I'd ever need to use for construction related needs.

Right, because they had absolutely no choice but to buy a truck so goddamn oversized that it can't fit in a spot. Fuck that guy.

To those saying it's a truck at a furniture store: Y'all, it's IKEA. Almost everything is boxed, you don't need the truck. I manage just fine in a Mini Cooper (although admittedly that's because of the hatch back, my Ford sedan has some trouble on the longer boxes).

That said, trucks have a place. Just not sure why they're allowed to sell to normies such long trucks; we really need regulation on that. It's getting rather dangerous in parking lots for the exact reason this guy put on his notification. Trying to get out of a spot with a long vehicle next to you is a bit of a roll of the dice because of visibility especially.

So much accusations and assumptions. What if the owner is a construction worker doing custom kitchen deliveries, and needs this monster for living. You sure can't haul a kitchen kit in your man's Toyota Aygo or Fiat 500.

i mean, most parking lots have back to back spaces, so it sounds to me like they've pulled in the first one, all the way through to the next one. I see no problem here, large trucks like this have to stop somewhere.

Beats parking in the lot sideways LMAO.

That's right. You're an "___HOLE" for buying a fucking 22 foot long truck and then trying to use it as a car.

You know, it doesn't say how they’re taking up two spots. If they’re going about it long-wise, then I’d be okay with long ass vehicles taking up two spots. I’ve seen cars/trucks with trailers do it all the time.

Now if they’re parking like a BMW and taking up two spots that way, then sure, they’re kind of an ahole. Slightly Less so if at least they parked in the boonies.

What an asshole.

I mean if it's for mostly utility and work I'll give this a pass.

Also most of the time the a-holes take 2 width worth of parking spaces. Rarely I see 2 parking space long.

When I used to have a beetle I used to park behind super long trucks at major events when there was no parking spaces left... So.. win win.

Choosing to buy an impractical vehicle does not give one a pass to park incorrectly

I think this is the nicest way to go about parking a vehicle like this. I might think it's a bigger vehicle than necessary, but this is not the person who should primarily receive hate for their choice of car.

My work truck is a Silverado 2500 HD, so a pretty big pickup with a topper and a bed in the back that rolls out behind it to hold all the parts I need to repair things on-site. Because of this, I usually park halfway past a parking spot into the one in front of it (but far from the entryway) so I can extend the bed behind the truck without it going into traffic and causing a dangerous situation for me and other people.

One day while I was fixing something inside, some nosy Karen put a note on it saying I should buy a smaller vehicle if I can't fit it in a single parking spot. Like, ???? I didn't choose the model of vehicle and I parked that way to be as out-of-the-way as possible! But I'm sure they felt very smug writing that note. All I'm saying is you should never assume someone else's situation...

I have to park my work van like this a lot but I always park it at the back of the lot when I do, but would you rather have me blocking traffic to the parking lot if i tried to park in a spot normally? No, you wouldnt, and I probably get asked not to do that again by the store.
