A Viewer Writes: See anything wrong with this picture?
This was in one of our local parking lots in Salisbury. Delaware tag no less. Dude was just parked there.

Doesn't look like anyone needed the spaces or that he was blocking traffic; probably shouldn't have parked like that but he/she didn't cause an unbearable situation for other motorist.
Don't get your drawers in a twist over trying to drive in an empty parking lot. Did you consider turning your steering wheel a bit to the left or right to go around him, or just sit there until the driver moved the truck. This is just a teeny tiny bump in life road. Lord help you if a real problem enters your life.
No biggie, but the driver should have at least drove up more in the parking space so the intersection isn't blocked. Because the parking lot is empty, it's really no big deal, but I would have a problem with it, if the parking lot was crowded. At least he parked far away.
9:52 & 10:05, Yes,this would be a good opportunity for us to practice patience and understanding.But on the other hand,and the point of Joe's posting,a lack of awareness and courtesy to others. 30 seconds and 30ft. and the driver could have parked in the designated parking area. What if a tractor trailer making a delivery needed to turn around? What if emergency services were responding to an emergency?
My concern is that if the driver has no awareness and courtesy in a parking lot, does he drive his truck and trailer the same way on our roads and highways?
They could have taken up 2 parking spaces and not blocked the drive. It is called "ignorant". They might be out in the lot but they are still showing they do not know how to pull a trailer. They are probably all over the road and not in their lane. This why I called MVA on making these idiots that pull trailers to have a higher class license / CDL. I have a CDL-A with endorsements and they wanted to make me get a CDL-B learners permit and go through the entire process to get a School Bus certification when I drive a transit bus. They might be out in the lot but they are still showing they do not know how to pull a trailer.
What gets my panties in a bunch is when I see dirtballs park in the handicapped spot in front of a convenience store to go in and get a pack of smokes.
Look again. That is not the end of the parking lot.

Look again, its an empty parking lot. It doesn't matter, end, middle, or entrance, its an empty parking lot. There is no harm. There is no foul. Just a busy body with a camera.

No dumb ass they shouldn't have parked in this parking lot at all. Park on the side of the road where you are not blocking traffic or taking up more than one parking space.
Wednesday evening I was at the Walmart North and counted 8 cars in the fire lane and no Salisbury Police Officer anywhere enforcing the law.
Where was da 'bury's new Far Marshill? Why can't he write fire lane tickets, he gets paid more than most police officers and he sits in an office doing nothing and has a take home car and doesn't even live in Salisbury. WTF is wrong with that picture?
So what? It looks like you and him are the only ones in the lot from that picture. You just wanted to be able to say you had something published by Joe didn't you? Lol.
The only problem I see is the fact that the person who took the photo had to go out of their way to take this picture an post it and make a derogatory remark. I mean really, is it that big of a deal, there is no other car in the parking lot but you. Find another spot to park and another more productive way to occupy your time, you will surely feel better. Have a great day.
Your comment is the "dumb-ass" post of the day. Parked in an EMPTY parking lot! And you think someone pulling a trailer should park in one parking spot? Damn, you are one stupid person.
Can't wait until some busy-body photos my truck and 22 foot boat on the trailer in a Walmart parking lot, while I go in to get bait and tackle, on my way to my fishing spot. That guy looks like a parking saint, compared to what I do. I'll take as many spots as I need to park, and to make sure nobody parks me in. That usually takes four to six spots for my vehicle and trailer. There's never 4-6 spots open close to the store, so I'm always using spots that none of the lazy shoppers will use at the edges of the lot. But hey, you know, some people will complain about how people park, even in an empty parking lot. LOL.

Its called self sponsored entitlement! Happening more and more these days. Lack of respect for others in their ME ME world!
There are ways to handle this without confrontation too!!! Just think "outside" of the box!
man you them people from delaware man, they just dumb as a sack of hammers
So, what's the big deal? More things to worry about than how someone parks.

Gotta park somewhere.

Hey, he had the courtesy to park in a far corner of the lot where he is not bothering anyone.
Look again. That is not the end of the parking lot.
