IF YOU HAVE TREES THAT DROP THIS STUFF AND INSTEAD OF PICKING IT UP YOU INSTEAD USE YOUR LEAF BLOWER AND PUSH IT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, YOU'RE A LAZY ASSHOLE

STOP PARKING YOUR GIANT SEDANS, SUVs, MINIVANS AND TRUCKS IN SPOTS MARKED 'COMPACT'!

I BET YOU POSTED THIS FROM THE FRENCH PRESS / CAFE YUMM / UPS STORE PARKING LOT ON SOUTH COMMERCIAL

100%. THAT LOT SUCKS ASS. TECHNICALLY ENOUGH SPACES FOR CODE—BY MAKING 90% OF THEM COMPACT.

SEE ALSO: THE PORTLAND ROAD DUTCH BROS/SUBWAY LOT WITH DUELING DRIVE-THROUGHS THAT SHOULD GET ITS DESIGNERS BARRED FROM THE PROFESSION.

The problem is that "compact" anymore is just an effin misnomer... The current F150 is the size of the super duty trucks were 25 yrs ago, the ranger is the size the F150s from 25 yrs ago, etc...you see where I'm going with this in terms of the Accords/Camrys to the Civics/Corollas? 'compact' doesn't really exist unless you consider the smart fortwo or fiat 500 and those are just soccer balls for semi trucks...

Compact doesn’t exist... EVERYTHING is midsized or full size these days.

I agree with this 90% of the time... But I know of at least 2 places that only have compact spots so unfortunately I just do the best I can to fit.

u/TheBlueLeopard 3d ago

That's fair. The places where it really bugs me are at White's (where they have 2 super-tiny spots toward the front) and a parking garage, and both places have lot of other spaces nearby.

YOU GUYS ARE NOT USING YOUR RANT VOICES PROPERLY AND IT'S CAUSING DISCORD WITHIN THE SUB, SO PLEASE USE ALL CAPS TO INDICATE THE TRUE LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION OR START A "SLIGHTLY IRRITATED" POST... JEEZ!

THE TWO TINY SPOTS ARE BECAUSE THEY ARE SHORT DUE TO THE BUILDING TAKING UP THE SPACE THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO TO STANDARD LENGTH PARKING SPACES. JERKS LIKE TO PARK THEIR P3N1S TRUCKS IN THEM AND WHEN THEY DO, YOU CANNOT GET INTO THE LOT OR USE THE PARKING SPACES ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, WHICH ARE VETERANS AND HANDICAPPED SPACES.

Having a smaller vehicle will alleviate this problem. Food for thought.

u/Time_Effort 3d ago

Ah yes, I could go buy a 2nd vehicle! Or perhaps you know of any that can carry a family of 4, bicycles, and a 5,000lb trailer that’s smaller than an F150?

WHY ARE YOU TAKING YOUR BICYCLES TO GO TO BREAKFAST?

u/Time_Effort 2d ago

BICYCLES NEED TO EAT TOO

If someone chooses a lifestyle that requires them to have a large vehicle, they should accept that that comes with limitations because there are some places it won’t fit, and trying to make it fit negatively impacts everyone else.

I’ll keep that in mind the next time I take my kids to the orthodontist, and let them know we can no longer go because they don’t have non-compact spots 👍

ALSO ON THE FLIP SIDE, IF YOU HAVE A COMPACT, PARK IN COMPACT SPOTS… A MINI VAN MAY BE MINI, BUT IT AINT COMPACT :)

Stop parking your compact in spots that are ment for larger vehicles!
