Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.
That's not an SUV... But yeah it looks like they backed up ONTO the curb, that's pretty rude...

Ah my bad, in Europe we don't see many of these cars. How would you call it? A truck?
of course the one person in europe who owns a pickup would park it on the sidewalk
Speaking as a Dutch person, our infrastructure just isn't made for cars this size. People basically need to enlarge their driveways to park something like this. So if you need to park a car like this it's almost impossible. That would stop most people from getting one, except the type of person that does buy one...
I mean, US infrastructure isn’t made for these beasts either.
I hate to say it, but that looks like a pretty small truck.
Source: I'm Texan but don't hold it against me.
Seems to be what those in most of the US would call a standard size pickup truck. Not “compact” like a Hilux/Tacoma, nor comically oversized like the oft-lifted 3/4 or full-ton trucks.
Hang on a sec a Hilux is considered a compact truck in America? That's a big old car where I'm from...
Yup, it would be considered a compact like the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, ect
Saw another post on here about how ridiculously oversized the Ranger parked next to them was. Had to laugh as an American, can't even imagine how some of the 3500 brodozers you see here would look on a European street
You’re not ready for the F-350 with extended bed then
I'd call it worthless. I could fit more in my prius than the bed of that truck.
As the owner of a Subaru Baja, I call it an Ute. The short bed is useful to a point (hauling tanks of flammable fuel, etc) but not perfect.
If it's not a body on frame vehicle, I wouldn't call it a truck.
Ute is also body on frame (in aus at least) but I would still call the oversized emotional support vehicles trucks instead of utes. That being said, most single cab utes have a bigger bed than a truck like an f150.
I mean the truck bed is like 3 feet long, you can't do anything with it, it's never been off-road, and it has two full size rows of seats. It's an SUV in denial.
I call them SUTs if the bed is shorter than the cab.
Emotional support vehicle
That’s not an SUV that’s a trucklet
See, my crippled ass is going to squeeze through anyway. Even if that means the metal clasps on my shoulder bag grind against the vehicle, or even if the attachment point for the strap on my cane happens to dig in if I happen to stumble because of the tight space.
Will that result in dents and scrapes? Absolutely. Do I care? Absolutely not.
It sounds like you care a lot.

That's not an SUV, it's a pickup truck.
The parking is almost as infuriating as OPs title.
Bed is shorter than the cab, it's an SUT.
How about a Sporty Lifestyle Utility Truck?
No, it's a ute
My understanding is that utes are generally unibodies, but that truck definitely has a frame. Based off the wheels and bed cover, it's a useless truck driven by a dickhead, but a truck just the same.
Key across the back has the same effect
While trucks are complete nonsense to have for 9/10 owners, sometimes it's choosing between two evils. Either park it like this, or have it stick out this far at the front, blocking traffic flow.
Instead of being infuriated by the way it's parked, we should be just because it's a truck that Is useless to have, especially in the Netherlands.
Block the flow of traffic. Vehicle traffic has predefined rules to deal with this and it happens all the time. Now you're forcing pedestrians to go onto the road creating a safety hazard. Strollers, like with OP, or disabled people or really you name it are severely disadvantaged by this, just because this person needed a gigantic car thought vehicle traffic was more important than pedestrians.
Usually I scratch the paint off. Sure it's not acceptable, but fuck cars. I've also smashed the ad signs in Sydney.
As shitty as people can be, it’s never appropriate to respond to non-damaging inconvenience with vandalism. That’s you stooping even lower than their level.
fuck you lol
Hmm, I wonder:
- why is inconveniencing one person (admittedly on a worse level) worse than inconveniencing everyone that uses the sidewalk (so smaller level, but wider scale)?
- why do you believe this? Is it just because the law states one is punished worse than the other?
You’re not just inconveniencing them, you’re literally causing hundreds of dollars in damage.
Damaging their car isn’t helping anyone, except for making yourself feel better, it’s such an immature way to respond.
It’s like punching someone for using racial slurs and derogatory terms. You’re not in the right to punch them.
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

Damaging the car may cost the owner a significant sum to repair. The car blocking the sidewalk is definitely shitty, but mostly amounts to a minor inconvenience.
Maybe just deflate the tires or leave a strongly worded letter on the windshield instead.
Minor inconvenience? Tell that to old people or people with disabilities.
Where is the SUV though?
The bed is too small to be an effective truck I'd say, def an SUV lolol.
trucklet
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard that you can call to get vehicles towed if they are blocking the sidewalk. I don’t know if that’s in every municipality, but I suspect the tow companies and the city would not mind the revenue.
Would bet €20 this is the Netherlands
Yup
Christ, do you really not know what a fucking truck is? 🤦♂️
We are truly fucking doomed.
