My rule #1022. If you can't park properly don't drive big cars.

As someone who grew up driving 4x4s (and still drives them) this is also my take. Also if you are driving a big car, park at the back of the carpark, means the hatchbacks and the sedans don't have to play chicken when reversing out.

Yes. I'm slowly creeping out of my park because I can't see not because I want to waste everybody's time.

I just close my eyes and floor it.

Damn the torpedoes!!

Shits me to tears! Probably an unpopular opinion to some but I think if you can afford to keep and maintain a 4x4 you should be able to keep a little beater for shop runs and driving round the burbs, no one needs a huge ute or a landcruiser to do the school or grocery run.

I don't have a problem with people driving big cars but just fucking park properly in between the lines. Also don't get up my arse when driving because otherwise I'm gonna leave an even bigger gap between me and the car in front. Like fucking huge.

Also want to add that parking in their lines instead of having their front or rear bar in my parking space just because I have a hatchback would be nice too.

Never know if they actually have bumped into my car or not.

I really hate shopping at my woolworths because it’s next to a Bunnings and it shares the same car park.
