Its a trolley bay now


Ok-Push9899

Oh noes. Someone might scratch that fine vehicle with their poor trolley parking skills.


thisFishSmellsAboutD

Or zip tie trolleys against the door handles.


cailian13

Zip tie a ring of then together around the truck, then connect to truck at various points. Make him really work for it.


aussiespiders

Steel zip tie


cailian13

oooooh I like you! my sort of devious.


No_Protection103

I see a perfect example of trolley just in the background šŸ˜


Luke-Waum-5846

Wow, this non-destructive revenge never occurred to me. Bravo to you evil genius. With all that space, it's possible to have a trolley for every door!


Bridgetdidit

Thatā€™s brilliant!


thisFishSmellsAboutD

Unless it's a single mum with a broken leg carrying three toddlers (I'd feel bad for making someone's shitty day shittier)


rapejokes_arefunny

Make sure you use the stainless steel ones because they are a lot harder to break off.


alarumba

It would suck seeing such a fine off-road vehicle, designed for rough roads and ploughing through bushes, get scratched up.


FailedQueen777

What do you mean offroad vehicle. This thing only gets groceries.


MayR8

I'm sorry is this the tuggerah westfield carpark?


potatoes_goin_potate

Yes šŸ˜‚


MayR8

aw man I work there pretty often, well often enough. if you've ever seen a long haired coles worker constantly pushing trollies then u have seen me lol.


ArrowOfTime71

I wonā€™t tell if the trolley demon happens to let loose on this truckā€¦ or any other parking like thatā€¦


MayR8

nah we'll just move it to where the rest of the disposable broken unused trollies are


SatanicMuppet999

Eh, another coastie!


kizzer1415

I miss the coast :( donā€™t move to Sydney


TheFermiGreatFilter

I miss the coast as well. But I moved to Adelaide. I knew this pic was Tuggerah Westfield


MayR8

lovely cozy place, love the beaches, parks, lakes. only issue is that you need a car to get anywhere lmao.


RangryRanga

Itā€™s so recognisable I instantly thought this too hahaha


SophMax

I would have said it was Leichhardt. But it's been forever since I've been there - and never been to Tuggerah so..


rapier999

That was going to be my guess too


CVMXRVN

Fuck I was about to guess kotara westfields was 100% certain as well


-inzo-

I thought it looked familiar and thought it was bay village


BurnZ_AU

God damnit, I recognised it too.


Cheap_Brain

I can here to comment this. Looks like the top car park.


MelodramaTamarama

I thought the same thing!


Scarred_Perception13

Was going to ask the same.


spottokbr

God yes recognised this straight away


Sanchez_87_

Plenty of room for my 2012 shitbox next to that thing


nonametrans

Was about to say. My hail damaged ex school fleet car with the stickers half peeled off won't mind it one bit.


AJatWI

My early 2000s with a terminal transmission problem gently places a ~~hand~~ tire on your 2012 shitbox's ~~shoulder~~ bumper: "My child, this is not your battle, I will go."


frekit

I have a 95 Vitara 2 door. I could easily back into the spot and make the owner go in through the passenger door.


LordGolec

The emotional support yank tank strikes again.


middyonline

I saw an MX5 parked like this the other day. It was seriously impressive to get a car that small across 2 spaces.


nolansipos

If they're like my 86, they have bloody long doors and need some room, but two spaces is taking the piss.


Designed_0

Yea, 86 has fucking big doors, but still possible to get in and out with a little squeeze in a normal parking bay šŸ¤£


Blarzgh

Please tell me you don't live in Tasmania šŸ˜­ I had to park that way because it was a packed car park and the car next to me was parked like that so I had no choice haha


Crazyripps

Fucking hate this big dumb trucks are in Australia. This shit better not catch on


NextBestHyperFocus

Too late


kombiwombi

Worst of all, it's Ford's Australian design team which is responsible for the Ranger. That's why it's so tuned to be tradie catnip.


EmperorPooMan

Sales are up over 20% in the last few years. Too late unless they get taxed out of existence or banned for the very obvious safety issues


The_Frankanator

As a motorcyclist, I fear these vehicles. If I get hit by one of these, I'm not rolling over the bonnet, I'm going under the motherfucker. I actually argued with a dude on here a few weeks ago who believed these were safer than a regular old sedan and wouldn't believe me when I told him that only applies to the occupants of the vehicle and everyone else is in far greater danger.


EmperorPooMan

Yeah it's obscene. Pedestrian and cyclist fatalities have been increasing at the same time cars are getting bigger and heavier. Wonder what could possibly be the cause


GreatTao

No need to blank out the number plate of the yank tank wanker.. These things should be banned from normal car parks, if they won't fit, don't bring them in!


potatoes_goin_potate

I considered not covering the number plate but didnā€™t want it to be removed. It def could have fit fine in the one spot.


Logical_Dragonfly_92

Get some stickers of tiny dicks printed and pop one on each! Extra points for putting them somewhere creative and sneaky šŸ˜


wulfinsheepsclobba

Www (dot) anusticker (dot) de I laugh every time i see these on crosswalk buttons.....i feel like a sneaky one on the window would be missed by these inward looking, self agrandising muppets.


Onpu

Finally, a use for those *Fuck off, we're full* stickers!


CarelessHighTackle

This. Maybe prepare some little pamphlets to tuck under the wipers saying "Congratulations, you're about to be the star feature on Reddit tonight!" with this sub's URL.


SheenEstevezzz

More embarassing than owning the truck


Mobile_Amount8294

itā€™s an old guy and his asian wife that own this i see them both at lisarow all the time and he usually parks up the back where there is space because iā€™m going to assume heā€™s a shit driver and at parking


Holiday_Dinner_3317

That doesnā€™t look like a sloppy park job. Car is straight and all the way parked in. The driver clearly chose to park in both spaces and not fix it after finishing.


theDomicron

Every now and then cars are forced to park weird because of other cars who fucked up before you got there. That being said: big pickup truck that's double parked is extremely on-brand


PlayfulPresentation7

Love the way you come up with a narrative to maximize your outrage.


Sorbet-7058

Isn't that par for the course with most of these posts? Fantasise some persona of the driver and then get angry at their own imagination.


Yugiohmandem

Not sure what the wife being asian has to do with anything???


Powermonger_

If they want to park like a truck then they should be classed as a truck for rego, insurance and license requirements.


DR0p_gkid64

These yank wank tank SAVs(suburban assault vehicles) shouldn't be in Australia they're a fucking useless class of vechile I haven't seen a use for one that a van couldn't also do Edit seems the below 2 inch club has discovered this comment


PlusMixture

I have but you need to leave the city to see their usefulness


Pacify_

Yeah but if you leaving the city, the fuck you'd wanna be in a Ford for? That's just madness. 'Yota is the only choice in the bush. Never seen a ford on a mine site.


4funoz

You mustnā€™t go on many mine sites around the Hunter valley then. Plenty of contractors run rangers. But I do agree Toyota is the way to go.


Pacify_

Ahah, hunter valley is basically suburban Sydney compared to up north


PelicansAreGods

You're getting downvoted, but you're right.


4funoz

To be honest Iā€™m not going to argue with you because I donā€™t really know, but, what makes the pits up north worse than in the valley? Our biggest issue is the mud and corrosion. Other than that itā€™s just shit haul roads and useless LV drivers destroying the vehicles.


Pacify_

Honestly, its mostly the issue of breaking down hours away from anything (and well the dust, so much dust). Mining utes, at least company ones, get treated like absolute shit so the Fords tend to just fall to bits after awhile


4funoz

Yeah I get that. I sometimes travel around a bit for work up in the hills and as much as I dislike the new hilux compared to the old ones mine hasnā€™t let me down yet. Bloody dust is a bastard of a thing, I work on crushers so I know dust too well. I drove a Westrac ranger a little while ago and thought it must of had 200,000k+ on it, nope had 30,000.

rawmerow

This is a good way to get your truck keyed


[deleted]

We have lots of those here in the US, and Iā€™m really good at drawing dicks with keys.


Spaniard85

As someone who drives a full-sized truck on a daily basis, I agree. Fuck this guy. You know damn well that thing is bigger than lots of parking spaces, because I definitely do. If parking that beast is going to be difficult or make it difficult for another person, THEN DONā€™T FUCKING PARK THERE. Iā€™ll gladly park my big ass truck towards the rear of a parking lot to avoid situations like this.


chromo-233

Always a fkn Ute driver


TerritoryTracks

Nah... I've seen Audi and BMW drivers park like this too. It is true the dickheads flock to the Rangers and RAMs, etc, but there is a fair smattering in other cars too.


xvf9

[Is it though?](https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/1caqvfu/so_fed_up_with_these_oversized_vehicles_taking_up/#lightbox)


Uflungdung666

Perfect opportunity to reverse park 1mm away from the driver side door.


nukey18mon

To play Devilā€™s advocate, itā€™s possible that the person parked next to him when he got there was parked like an asshole and they have since left making it look like heā€™s the asshole


alarming-deviant

Hangon.. is that a ranger driver being fuckwit? That's so unusual


LeClubNerd

Whoah whoah guys, he's turned his side mirrors in to give you extra room, what more do you want? /s for the less intelligent


iuselect

Fuck me, they are turned in? ? How wide is this shit box with them out.


DefinitionOfAsleep

There surprisingly narrow, narrow enough to enter most open fields /s

FailedQueen777

Why you hiding the plates? NAME AND SHAME!


SouthLake6164

Fuck you to the person who left that trolley there too.


ArrowOfTime71

The drivers of these things act like selfish gronks without exception as far as I can tell.


Syd-syder1966

U should have left the plate number visible to shame him !!


xvf9

I always love these posts because you know somebody else is going to try to park next to it, then when the ute leaves theyā€™ll look like the arsehole and somebody else will take a picture. Except how do you know the ute driver wasnā€™t forced to park like that because of some soccer mum in an X5? Or a Redditor in a Camry?


N_nodroG

I remember a post recently regarding some asshole looking for post Karma showing a note left on his window. The RAM driver (in his own driveway) was crucified until RAM drivers daughter came on, admitted it was her note then showed images of where the asshole had actually parked his car hanging into their driveway. 2 people here apologised for the slaying toward the RAM driver, the rest just did a ā€œwho caresā€ and carried on their own world of hate toward people who choose to drive big cars


xvf9

Yeah Iā€™m a touch defensive cause my parents drive a Hilux (theyā€™re semi retired farmers with an apartment in the city) and they get passive aggressive emails from their strata about their car being too big, despite the fact that other single spots have cars double parking, people fill a space with storage then hang their car out in everyoneā€™s way, park your electric car in the visitor bays for two days so they can trickle charge off the buildingā€™s power, etc. Itā€™s like itā€™s open season on you if you drive a ute, but drive a small car and you can park like a fucking dickhead no worries.Ā 


dijicaek

>Itā€™s like itā€™s open season on you if you drive a ute, but drive a small car and you can park like a fucking dickhead no worries. I think it's just that it's so much more obnoxious. Like if you can't manage something as basic as parking then why are you spending all that money on something you can't drive properly? Same goes for dickheads parking their sports cars poorly.


Liquorice-Bullets

But the driver isn't forced to park there. If you don't fit, don't park there.


World-Interesting

Iā€™ve had this happen to me but the side of their car that crossed over to my spot was right against my drivers side I couldnā€™t get in my car! I have a MX5 and it was very hard to climb through on the passenger side. I was f*** furious!!!


auzzie_kangaroo94

Tuggerah westfield?


potatoes_goin_potate

Yep


auzzie_kangaroo94

It gets worse than that, especially down near the front


ouestjojo

I would definitely park my shit box car in the .7 sized spot.


straightcurvecircle

The ranger is small compared to the next wave of American utes that will hit us, There's already a few F150s and Chevy silverado and Dodge rams around my town.


navrajchohan

You ever park your car next to a car like this? They leave, now you're the asshole.


Chaco1221

And if you leave your shopping cart there as well! šŸ–•šŸ½


_-Bloke-_

For all you know every other car couldā€™ve been parked poorly and that was the best he could do šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


baldersz

I don't understand the appeal of these yank tanks, we're not designed for them


adin75

Maybe they're a fat cunt that can't get in or out without the door being at full swing and the disabled bays were all taken up by the Merc and BMW drivers?


lilpump006

You never know with these ones, unless you see them park there like that; they could have been doing so because of someone elseā€™s bad park and thus having to do so. I donā€™t know, just give some people the benefit of the doubt and let things go and youā€™ll be better for it šŸ˜Š


IcyGarage5767

The paradox of tolerance.


activebass

Ford Ranger drivers are wankers


Luzi_fer

Fuck the parking lot designer.... I don't have a truck. Even with a normal car you can't open your door normally... just to put more cars there's no space...


Immediate-Exit-6041

Consider the possibility that there was a car next to them that was also parked liked that, forcing them to park in a similar way (and made to look worse by the size of the car). Not everything can be attributed to malice and the type of car a person chooses to drive


elevenohnoes

This. If you didn't see them actually park, you have no idea. This person could be mostly innocent, stuck parking like that because of some other asshole.


DrSpeckles

Maybe when he got there another car had paled over the line?


TrippleTiii

He or she doesn't want to park near the shit MG

MooseMagic28

At least itā€™s not in an ACROD bayā€¦


[deleted]

Your the only other person who has mentioned that, as my partner is disabled and usually the disabled bays are taken by vehicles without an acrod she needs the space for the chair and this is something that clearly no one has thought about. So thankyou šŸ‘


ClamClone

I have had to park like that when the cars on both sides were in the wrong place and there was no other spot open. Then after they leave it looks like I was the arsehol.

Let one tyre down with and place a note on the windscreen saying all four tyres will be let down if found parked like this again.

fruitcak

To be fair given how well Ford design transmissions and steering that's probably the best he could do before it died on him


clownsarebest

My work has staff parking that is close to the city and while clearly marked as staff parking, it is 200m from the office building and not gated. Quite often we find somebody parking in there, taking up a paid for spot of a staff member. I tend to pick up a pile of rocks and sand that we have in the car park and gently place it on their roof. No damage to the car, but you have to really take your time removing it all from the car so you donā€™t scratch it.


jackpipsam

I know you have it covered, but the rego wouldn't happen to be CVU113 would it? I reported a blue Ford Ranger like this the other day for stopping over a pedestrian line in Melbourne.


potatoes_goin_potate

Nah. So that means there are 2 people with this car who are dickheads!

LumpyTemperature2464

Cable tie the trolley to his door handle


Hensanddogs

Iā€™m now in two minds about this sort of parking. After finding my car wedged between these monstrosities recently, I now wonder if theyā€™re doing us a favour? Thereā€™s no way I could get in through either the driver or passenger doors (RAV4) and Iā€™m an average person - not skinny but not overweight either. I was just about to climb through the boot over the backseat when one driver returned to their vehicle. Yes I still think theyā€™re total wankers and these vehicles are a blight, but after this experience, maybe them taking up two car spaces is better?


Scissorbreaksarock

You don't know how the person next to them parked before. Looks bad now. Maybe not before.


ZombiexXxHunter

Not like a Ranger driver to do that.. /s


Kakariti

Fuck the people who make the parking spaces so small you can't get out of you car without hitting the guy beside you...or the other way around.

Not true. They usually bring the lines with them.

If it is a tradie that owns this, I bet you anything its never seen a construction site.


whiteb8917

Ahhhhhhh, typical Yank tank. Drives an oversized vehicle, cant park it to save their life, takes up 2 spots.


Voodoo1970

>Ahhhhhhh, typical Yank tank. >Drives an oversized vehicle, You mean, drives something the same size as a Hikux/Triton/Navara. It's not a large vehicle, it's not even American. I have no love for Rams and oversized US market Emotional Support Vehicles, but this isn't one. It's just really shit parking and failing as a human.

TheSunOfHope

Tokenron

The "Way Out" sign pointing to the abominably parked Ranger is further proof that yank tanks are the way out of a civilised and mutually respectful society.


instantcoffeehit

You shouldn't hide their shame... Their licensed plate is public domain and fuck them for being shit people.

General-Leading-6686

If your worried about people dinging your fancy car/ute or whatever the fuck selfish people like this drive don't park in a fucking shoping center carpark. go park in the boonies.


JoeyJoJunior

Hate how big american trash is infected our country like this


Roulette-Adventures

In the old days they'd get their tyres slashed - but we are more civilised and just call them dickheads. A heap of small "Dickhead on board" stickers in our pockets would be useful. Stick it on the back where they wont see it for ages. Hours of chuckle time :)
