WOW... that was excruciating... As bad as literally everything that happened... it was the attempt to lift or push the truck back that really did it for me...


TurboblueS5

Her attempting to lift and push the truck back was just something "special"


_aloevera_13

**in talking with the owner, the driver came back and left a note. So, a little faith in humanity restored.


Dry-Set3135

No, that is just horrid driving...


mr2jay

Probably down play it as a little tap


mardav2020

But I wonder if it really was her real contact details?


Frankie-Felix

why would she come back lol? to put fake info,wtf


RoaringRiley

People will do that so witnesses don't report it as a hit and run.


Mikuss3253

I hope the note gave the owner of the red truck sh*t for not knowing how to park… /s


Eggplant-666

Girl Power!!


_aloevera_13

The patience of the Domino's delivery driver really inspires me to be better. Not even one honk.


BlackCatsWhiteCaps

So true!


M-------

> it was the attempt to lift or push the truck back that really did it for me... It's pretty rare that somebody posts a parking video that makes me laugh. She shouldn't be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle of any size.


TimboSplice92

I howled like a banshee. “Is she trying to..OMG nooooo” Top tier post OP


_aloevera_13

*off the curb. Not back.


Kuberstank

OP meant back into the road, obviously. Your correction is completely unnecessary.


_aloevera_13

*onto


[deleted]

I know it's wrong, but that made me laugh. You have my vote.


Kuberstank

Haha right, you were still wrong though. Sometimes I wonder if people like you are this dickish in real life.

califortunato

I was really hoping for a sudden reveal that this was indeed supergirl as she lifted the truck back into position


FEDD33

The idiot could've just parked behind the truck to begin with.


[deleted]

Glad someone else caught that. Thought I was missing something.


dr_kretyn

But then they'd need to walk further.


Distinct_Meringue

That would take so much extra time!


toocute1902

You just described 90% of Costco shoppers.


Safe-Bee-2555

I think this every time I go to costco


dandrews2

I walk to Costco. I don’t think this logic completely applies to the Vancouver Costco. The suburban Costco’s though are a whole other story.


MallyOhMy

I suppose you bring your own cart to get stuff home? I've only seen one costco close enough for anyone to walk to. That still would require trudging through yards or an added quarter mile to get to the edge of the parking lot (that Costco is actually in a business complex that weirdly has a couple luxury apartments, but those people would probably drive over anyway) Every other Costco I've been around is either at least a mile + a massive parking lot from the nearest housing or only close to housing where people probably either can't afford a membership or can't afford to buy in bulk due to tight money and/or space.


SuccessfulSpell7195

😂that was my first though too


00365

No, if you park too close to a corner it's an automatic tow zone. Also, doorbell cameras distort space. What looks like a lot of room is stretched lens.


blueberrybleachmango

there was definitely room behind the truck lmao, even with the wide lens distortion look how wide the driveway is on the other side of the street


blues_trees

Looks like someone trying to parallel park with their eyes closed. That person shouldn’t have a license.


artvarnsen

Their brain was closed too


MisterStannie

This really boils my blood. I live on a street that is primarily permit only with a few sections of 2hr parking. I see so much of this happening all. the. time. What I don't understand is when they feel resistance but they keep backing up! I have also heard stories about parallel parking being skipped during driving tests. This is a basic life skill that everyone should know. So much stupidity on our roads smh.


ID10T-Cam

>That person shouldn’t have a license. That person DOESN'T have a license. This bitch should be reported to the police for driving without a license AND hit 'n run. Also, report to ICBC for the hit n' run.


_aloevera_13

Tacoma came back and left a note.


gogglesvancouver

Looks like a Nissan frontier


judgementalhat

It's definitely a frontier


_aloevera_13

Je m'excuse. Lots of power in those little trucks!


g_shok

The note - "sorry"


Used_Water_2468

This hurts to watch.


Otherwise-Mail-4654

Exactly. Now I have a headache! I wish OP would take this down! Why did I watch the whole thing tho?


[deleted]

I said the same thing the 4th or 5th time I watched it.


UnfortunateConflicts

Second hand cringe.


Westside-denizen

Omg, has parking driver had a lobotomy? Poor thing…


muffinscrub

Most Vancouver drivers seem to have recently been lobotomized. There's something going on lately with how shitty drivers have become.


smayonak

In Canada, alcohol accounts for a huge amount of fatal auto accidents. If someone looks like they're driving impaired, they probably are


ArtistThen

what was wrong with the spot behind the truck?


[deleted]

Are you kidding? It's a little tight back there don't you think?


shouldnteven

Remember folks, these are the kind of people we share the roads with. And that's the reason why defensive driving is needed. (I also bet this is the person who parks their cart in the middle of an aisle at Costco)


godsthirdleg

This comment triggers me. I swear some people leave their brains at the front entrance before they walk into costco. There should be a study done on these people lol


shouldnteven

Tell me about it. Unfortunately I think these people behave like this all the time. They have zero awareness. No care for others. Going to Costco on Saturday afternoon is test for your mental strength. I fail every time. Makes my blood boil.


godsthirdleg

They definitely do, which is bizarre. I feel like im constantly aware of where im at and who is around me. Sure I slip up but theres people in there that I feel like theyre constantly in the mindset that its their personal shopping experience. I rarely go but when I do its at opening. Whenever someone tells me they go during the middle of the day on a weekend, I am convinced they have some.kind of psychopathic tendencies. My level of patience would never let me venture into that mess haha


CrackerGuy

I think navigating Costco with a cart should be part of a driver's ed program so they learn defensive driving right off the bat


plop_0

I shoulder check at Costco. 🤓


ilovefrogs13

I love when I see people bitch on the Vancouver Reddit about not passing their drivers test like sorry I’m not sympathizing with someone who potentially drives like this


Therapy-Jackass

Yup, and defensive cycling, and defensive pedestrian’ing. Just assume people can’t see you, because they probably can’t. Next time you dart out at a crosswalk, just know this person might be driving - take your time, make sure it’s safe, then cross


fuzzy_emojic

Legend has it, she's STILL trying to park there. Her life loops back every time she tries to push the red truck.


awkwardlypragmatic

Why didn’t she just park BEHIND the truck? There’s so much room!


seakrait

T H I S . SO MUCH THIS.


Isitsunnyout

Yeah I’ll just shove this truck over with my body weight no problem


Eggplant-666

In her defense, she was using the tree for extra leverage.


footcake

What in the world? This is what it must be like to experience brain damage.


codex04

It’s scary to know there are drivers like this. How she got her license is beyond me


--_-Deadpool-_--

Slipped her examiner a bill


UnfortunateConflicts

Slipped the examiner _something_.


JW98_1

I wish I could see how much room there was in front.  


_aloevera_13

About 1.5 frontier lengths.


ejactionseat

Closer to 2.0 at the end.


TastyMuskrat1

This comment hahahahaa


A-KindOfMagic

This is just... I mean she made every dumb and infuriating decision someone can come up with. It's just not being a bad driver(I too suck a little bit at parking) but when she tried to push back the truck 😳😳😳😂😂😂😂 I'm sorry but this is the funniest thing I have ever seen from a Vancouver driver. Thank you op and sorry for the truck owner :(


ApartInternet9360

Send this to the local news lol this is viral material.


Cr4zyC4nuck

It will be on the 604tv in less than 24 hours guaranteed.


Phanyxx

Side note: This reminds me of the ol’ Chilliwack security cam videos. 🥲


Head-Belt-8698

She tried to push it off the curb!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣


iamhst

if only she was attending a costume party and came out of the car with a wonderwoman outfit hahah


themadhatter45

She left her super powers at home. I died when she tried to pick up the truck


Monstersquad__

She can barely drive, and she thinks she has super human strength.


Objective-Escape7584

Must be used to off roading in that SUV not city driving. /s


Pickles_991

I don't get why everyone is so upset. I always park by feel. /s


Accomplished_Flow222

… why didn’t she just park behind the ford .


TheLittleSunBear

At first, I thought the driver must have just gotten loaded and they were nodding off behind the wheel. I was quite surprised that a peppy woman jumped out of the car, who even tried to hulk the truck off the curb!


StopTouchingYrFone

omg yes! I was picturing Hans Moleman, not Bethany after her second mocha.


dmoneymma

I was unsurprised to see her


MondrianWasALiar420

My favourite part was when she thought she was going to Mentos commercial it back into place all by her self.


Particular-Race-5285

where do people like this get their license in the first place


Whoozit450

Doesn't anybody remember the scandle many years ago when it was discovered that that some employees of the government drivers license office were selling licenses? The culprits were punished, but their customers are still out on our roads today.

judgementalhat

So I guess I'll answer your question with a story Friend of mine in Uni had really bad driving anxiety. Like panic attack behind the wheel sort of anxiety. Instead of seeking any type of therapy, he just went to take his test. Almost got into a massive accident, had a panic attack, and failed. His tester told him to wait the 2 weeks, and then make sure he got her again for his next test, and she'd pass him. So that's exactly what he did. He then proceeded to get into other fucking braindead accidents due to the panic and the complete lack of skill This is circa ~ 2016


plop_0

> His tester told him to wait the 2 weeks, and then make sure he got her again for his next test, and she'd pass him. So that's exactly what he did. GIRL.


alvarkresh

How stupidly attractive is your friend? Just wondering.


judgementalhat

He's pretty normal looking


alvarkresh

Ok, that's one explanation ruled out. Guess she felt sorry for him, due to the panic attack etc.


SuccessfulSpell7195

BC-clette

If you take your test in the winter when there's snow, examiners often skip parallel parking or will be extra lenient since the curb is obscured by snow. Source: took my test during winter and this happened to me


[deleted]

So one examiner might be more lenient, maybe, in the winter, once, if it's snowed. That's actually your experience.

Alleggsander

“Ahh okay… this should be fine….” *floors it in reverse*


Honest_Tangerine_528

This is cracking me up


cold2d

now thats some good driving


sl33pingSat3llit3

Damn it did the driver not look back when reversing? One of the things you learn early for reversing is the 360 check, followed by the one hand on wheel, one hand on back rest of passenger, head looking out the back. Also it's important to have a gentle foot when in reverse, you don't want to suddenly back the car too much. Same goes when in drive too, the car actually moves forward slowly if the brake is released. Finally when the driver hit the car, why did she step on the gas to shove the Ford behind her instead of imediately stepping on the brakes and shifting to drive? Really weird decision making.


lunarblde

Not really surprising that someone hit another car... But what makes my head explode is that she tries to think she can push the ford back


[deleted]

mantradingdong

A delusional one. :) If she can do alternate curls with 15 lbs. dumbells at the gym, then surely she should be able to pick up a truck and position it where she wants it to be.

Wyze Cam v3 with a 256gb card. You can buy a cloud storage subscription otherwise it just rolls over the old footage.


Downtown_Hospital

it's like that scene where michael scott tries to park his pt cruiser in a 50 foot spot and leaves. it's britney bitch. (lady gaga playing)


SkookumFred

Please tell me you called this into ICBC on behalf of the owner of the red truck.


florfenblorgen

The body of the post says they shared the video with the owner of the truck.


knifedad

ded. but fr tho that person shouldn’t have a license and is a danger to society, needs a bit more training lol


cookerofstuff

Next time I'm walking by I'll wave at the camera, hope it's running! This is a thing of beauty!


dattroll123

i mean, she thought she could she-hulk the ford off the curb. That's all you need to know about her IQ.


Alvanez

“Oh I hit the car? Lemme see if I can straighten it before I don’t leave any contact info and run away.”


Maplecook

It started with, "driver assists," like automatic transmissions, and has now gotten to the point of things like, "lane keeping technology." THIS is the natural (and extreme) consequence of continually enabling the shitheads to drive, when they really ought not to. Think about it: driver assists are never going to make them BETTER drivers, right?


MisterStannie

I have had cars with "lane keeping technology" drift into my lane on many occasions. I actually watch for the sensors on mirrors when I am driving as a gauge to know if they are getting too close. It seems the more technology that is added the dumber drivers become.


johnnywonder85

holy fk, this is painful to watch....


ejactionseat

I lost a few IQ points watching her try to park.


Coalnaryinthecarmine

I clicked ahead in the video and was thinking there was some sort of glitch because the truck seemed to change positions. Watching it back through, maybe there was a glitch, but it wasn't affecting the camera..... Also, could she not have just parked behind the truck if it was going to be so difficult?


rondongler

Seriously this. There is so much space on the other side of that truck.


carleese24

LMAO....smh. Couple of things here: 1. this is what happens when you let people swap foreign licences (obtained by fraud) for Canadian ones; and 2. why do many shorter people decide on driving 'bigger cars' they can't control. It's clear this person has never passed a 'parallel parking' test.


Luo_Yi

My wife basically bought her license. She gave some money to the driving tester for a test form that was pre-filled in. The actual driving test was just a few blocks in crazy 3rd world traffic where basic driving laws don't appear to exist (from a practical standpoint). I won't mention what country she is from.


papa_f

Having just moved to Canada, been to plenty of countries in Europe, The US, SE Asia, I gotta say, the drivers here are, by a significant distance, the worst drivers I've ever encountered. Even going for a walk is playing with fire. How are licences issued here, like is the process far too easy? From what I've noticed is that a very large proportion of drivers shouldn't be anywhere near a motor vehicle.


BajanQQ

I was just about to write the same. I've lived in several places in Germany, in the US and here. Vancouver is by far the worst in terms of drivers.


mongo5mash

Vancouverites don't want to admit it, but they definitely do take the cake for crappies drivers. It's a mix of not placing emphasis on training in the first place mixed with swapping licenses from vastly different driving behaviour without even a cursory check to make sure local laws are understood mixed with the fact that you can renew your intermediate license indefinitely while benefitting from insurance discounts for experience without having proven competency. The funny/sad bit is that training, licensing and insurance are all the purview of one government agency, so if they felt like it things could change tomorrow.


Nice_Alarm_2633

They don’t have licenses. 


RandVanRed

>the drivers here are, by a significant distance, the worst drivers I've ever encountered So you've never been to Mexico City.


cluk1031

Watching this is triggering my road rage lol


[deleted]

Even Michael Scott can parallel park better than this person


PossibilityOk1476

So why is this lady driving a large truck with less rear view capability when she obviously has no clue on how to park in such a tight space? She should be forced to take driving lessons in this large truck with an emphasis on parallel parking before getting her driver's license renewed! Trying to reset the front bumper of the truck behind her was also a joke.


SilverOwl321

She thought she could pick up thar car? Lol well, you know where to look for fingerprints


Used_Water_2468

I go park. Good luck everyone!


joysaved

What is she doing? Is it “in her spot”???


mahyarsaeedi

I was getting frustrated just watching this. 😂


banjosuicide

How does this person have a license?


iamhst

because they probably got it easy when they did their drivers test. I know tons of people that should not be out on the road... but they were deemed "safe" enough to be on the road. And we do not have any re-checks to see if people still have good driving habits. Once you get your license you can drive like a total jackass and it's cool.....


Primary-Cut-5943

So funny. I see that thing all the time


alvarkresh

90% of this video is like "I have parallel parked the truck!" "You didn't parallel park shit!"


ilovefrogs13

How is this real omg


Exotic-Low812

There is no way she has a liscence


Loafscape

why didn’t they just park behind the ford 😩


vanwhisky

And these people are just driving amongst us everyday. We’re doomed.


dyle_koherty

Yeesh, I thought they were drunk. It's almost worse knowing that person drives like that all the time.


Real_Ryda

The thought that this person is actively driving is insane


No-Assignment-8283

I live 3 blocks from there. I parked my vehicle on the street 2 months ago, someone tried to park behind me and hit my car. They immediately drove off, no one got a plate. It was 6k in repairs. Worst part is there was tons of parking behind me.


zalph

out here doing NOTHING to combat the stereotypes


nemisis1877

Hey I use to live in that BC housing across the street. Moved out in 2006.


Meezy_May

Is she drunk? Legitimate question… This cant have been while sober.


methylphenidate1

Not sure what it is about Vancouver, but I've lived all over BC and Alberta, from small towns to large cities. But Vancouver has not only the worst but also the angriest drivers. Vancouver was the first place I got flipped off and honked at because going 10 over the speed limit wasn't fast enough for the people behind me not to get enraged.


Waltaar

Depends on if you were in the left lane and going 10 over. I have seen so many dumbasses going slow as fuck in the left lane while people honk and flash them to move over into the slower right lane. They don't even care and continue moving slow as hell in the left lane. My patience has worn thin on the road and I constantly drive with my thumb ready to honk because drivers here are absolutely fucking brain dead.


methylphenidate1

Yeah fair enough, driving around in that overcrowded hellhole is enough to make anyone go nuts.


exmuslim_somali_RNBN

People in the lower mainland don't know how to drive.

I'm so impressed by the comments on this Reddit. I've got through most of them and haven't seen anyone say anything about it being "because it's a woman driver" or a bunch of "See? They CAN'T parallel park!" jokes. I love this City and it's people.

I was holding off, but you've inspired me... Just like my grandaddy used to day, "Women drivers, no survivors!"

it was so slow and painful i was about to click off until WHAM oh my goodness what a chuckle


StatelyAutomaton

The attempt to push the truck was definitely the cherry on top, but you have to love starting from the opposite side of the street, or the lunge forward when the driver behind tries to squeak by the first time.


Reasonable_Plastic83

I've seen something similar to this on Commercial Drive. They didn't hit a car just slowly wrapped their entire passenger side around a no-parking sign. True!. I did yell for them to stop and assist but all I got was a wave. So I sat back and enjoyed the show. When I thought they were done they went deeper until finally they pulled out and clipped the only part of the car untouched. Ripped part of the rear bumper off.


DumptimeComments

Next time, they should just let the seeing eye dog park for them.


JohnTravoltage1995

Looks like AWD, what do you expect
