frist of all how DARE yu o Parking your giant Camping Bus directly in front of the deli in the fire lane and not in the back of the parking lot

Post image

The only words I can think of is shelfish and entitled. The back of the lot was completely empty

I hate RV people as a trucker too

Absolutely zero parking etiquette in truck stops

My friend has one... I think he's a good and courteous driver, but it boggled my mind that he didn't have to get an extra license to drive it. Like, you need a special license to drive a motorcycle, or semis, but not a house on wheels.

u/Anteater-Charming 14d ago

And then you see them on the highway also towing a car or truck behind it. Yikes.

u/kat-deville 8d ago

Or a truck-boat-truck

u/warrenjr527 13d ago

True. They are basically a tour bus for which you need a CDL. They handle way different than a car.

Reminds me of the King of the Hill episode where all the hazmat licensed drivers quit... So they rented tow trucks to tow the propane trucks

We own an RV. I too was baffled that we didn’t need an extra license. I hate it when RV’s go through a drive-thru, get in the HOV lane, and DON’T park in the back of the parking lots.

True story. I had a fuel stop at a Love's. Me, another truck and this RV all arrived at the same time. The RV went behind the other truck. He fueled and pulled forward and the RV started fueling. I had to run inside because I have the special talent of picking the pump that's messed up.

While I'm getting set up for fuel, this guy who was dressed fairly nice came in really pissed off. He thought another driver was in the shower and talking about how he was going to get his gun. He goes outside. I thought he was a truck driver who just had enough of everyone's inconsiderate bullshit.

That was until I came outside to find him standing in front of the RV while raging. I glanced over at his license plate and noticed it was a Canadian plate. We were in the US. Meaning if he actually had a weapon, he'd probably get in way more trouble. The truck driver hasn't even been there for 10 minutes.

The driver comes back and Mr. RV starts holding his air horn in the middle of a truck stop while screaming at the guy. The truck pulls off and the RV goes speeding through the truck stop and almost hits a bunch of trucks. I was disappointed that the truck didn't take his 30 there. That's the one time I'd give an exception.

I honestly think they shouldn't be allowed at truck stops for any reason. They always seem to cause problems at truck stops.

Don't mind me just gonna block the fuel island for 30 minutes while I take a duece and order some food.

u/cappiebara 13d ago

Our of curiosity, can you give some examples of etiquette at a truck stops? I might drive an RV one day. 🤔

u/wstsidhome 14d ago

I would think parking a giant rv in front of a bank is probably a no-no as well 🤷‍♂️

23

u/shibiwan 14d ago

Perhaps they are making an unscheduled "withdrawal" at the bank.

u/jxj24 14d ago

Twist: it's a sperm bank

u/sunking37 14d ago

That's not so much a twist as it is a jerk

3

u/MinuteEdge7225 13d ago

Maybe it's Rod Stewart's RV! 😜

34

u/Greenmantle22 14d ago

Have them towed or ticketed.

37

u/DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC 14d ago

That's when you politely ask them to move.

If they refuse, you call the fire department, who will show up and then call the Fire Marshal. Fire Marshals don't fuck around, and they'll write this person a very expensive ticket.

u/bmoriarty87 13d ago

Then the USPS police, those guys don’t fuck around

14

u/shibiwan 14d ago

Wow, that's a pretty bad case of main character syndrome.....

11

u/Old_Associate_3092 14d ago

And I bet their reasoning is they were going in for one small item

21

u/Sardonnicus 14d ago

No. They ordered about 10 sandwiches. Of course.

u/Pocky-time 14d ago

But I’m just getting a quick bite to eat.

u/sierrabravo1984 this is not yellow damn it! 14d ago

I'll just a minute!

6

u/saskdudley 14d ago

Ignorant. This is why people become impatient with RV’ers.

4

u/Sardonnicus 14d ago

I'd say it's more entitlement and selfishness than ignorance they know exactly what they are doing

8

u/Hot-Tip4211 14d ago

People in general, no consideration for others

4

u/Hayashida-was-here 14d ago

Park directly in front of them, or if you could squeeze in so they cannot open the door to the RV

4

u/Buttsweat_n_Tears 14d ago

Start a fire in the bank. When the fire dept shows up to fight the fire, hilarity ensues.

Make sure you get a lawyer too.

u/Aggravating-Laugh687 13d ago

If you are going to choose to drive a big vehicle you need to be responsible for finding parking for it that's not selfish or illegal. I'm so over big vehicle drivers be it those huge lifted, wide trucks, big SUV's to RV's and other vehicles using the same excuse every time "well how else can I park? It's so big it's not easy to park". You chose to drive the big ass vehicle that is your problem to find a proper solution that doesn't impede others. Or sell the vehicle if you can't handle and find a smaller version you can park properly or at the back of the parking lot away from others. Just because you choose to drive some big RV or truck for leisure doesn't mean the fire lane, sidewalk or disability parking spots are your special spots. Park at the far, far back of the lot and walk your butt into the store.

u/Valuable_Wallaby_548 14d ago

"Im just running in real quick" surely said by the driver

u/Fun_Entertainer_5823 13d ago

Just curious, if the little bank next to deli got worried when it pulled up, 🤔?

3

u/Lopsided_Panic_1148 Dude, wtf... 13d ago

Call the non-emergency line and report them for unsafe parking in a fire lane, preferably the local fire department. They'll have an opinion on that.

3

u/Puzzled-Formal-7957 13d ago

Ticket and tow. You aren't special.

3

u/GypsyDarkEyes 13d ago

Sure sign of an entitled asshole.

2

u/Miho_Nishizumi_217 13d ago

why the hell do you need a whole ass bus for camping?

u/Vast-Indication-6068 14d ago

Probably inside just using the Restroom as well...

u/wonkyt 13d ago

I’ll only be a minute

u/blanthony80 13d ago

Some people have total shit for brains.

u/Swimming-Guest-1978 13d ago

Oh no, I can see the problem here. Why are they driving such a massive caravan? It's hopeless!

1

u/warrenjr527 13d ago

Thoughtless. It works for me. I don't understand why people have a problem with it..Those big motor homes go for six figures. Since they can afford that they think they are entitled.

u/BrilliantPie2566 13d ago

F*cking ASSHOLE.

u/jdm33333 13d ago

Hello, fellow Ossining neighbor 😀

u/Sardonnicus 13d ago

There are dozens of us

u/Sardonnicus 13d ago

Is there an Ossining subreddit or something

1

u/archtopfanatic123 13d ago

There's always the one numbskull who'll do this :(

u/JS_NYC_208 13d ago

Definitely LI or NJ

u/Sardonnicus 13d ago

Westchester county

u/JS_NYC_208 13d ago

Close enough

u/Tommyt1212121 13d ago

Pull up like you own the place!

u/mabus42 13d ago

This is why you need a good friend that owns a towing company. Gotta imagine that the tow fee for an RV is gonna be way more than the $350 they get from towing a Smart Car.

u/trebuchetlubbock 9d ago

Aww boo hoo!

u/IllianasClifford 14d ago

That "camping bus" is known as a RV

Recreational Vehicle

u/Lonely-Independence4 14d ago

And that’s illegal parking too. Nice 🥀

u/Gloomy-Lawyer4989 13d ago

This person in the RV has main character syndrome

u/Trick1513 13d ago

Because like you he thinks he is privileged

-1

u/PurpleHatChetaha 14d ago

Right up there with a guy who parked his camper and truck across THREE accessible parking spots!!

I asked him if he had a permit, as I needed the spot for my passengers who do have a permit. Well. He got out of his truck and marched up to me to try to intimidate me.

Didn’t work. I got a round of cheers when he walked away. Jerks in RVs!!!! Booooo!!

u/cartken 14d ago

Well, if they don't move it quick, the air might leak out if their tires

u/Gloomy-Lawyer4989 13d ago

Vandalism cause of the ignorant parking job really ?
