I hate you if

[goldmom]

On any given day here in NoFla the majority of vehicles around me in traffic are pickups or SUV’s. The rest are semis driven by men who may or may not be good drivers. SUV’s and pickups are almost like a defense mechanism. I wouldn’t feel safe in a Corolla. But that’s just me.

 

[alaskanseminole]

You do realize you’ll probably have to wait just as long or longer with the bigger vehicles to park in that tiny little spot forward facing.

Or do you strictly hate people that back in when they don’t need to and are terrible at it? If that’s the case shouldn’t you just be angry at people that can’t park?

I don't hate people who back in. I often back in, but I don't spend an afternoon doing it either. So to your point, the irritation would be with anyone who can't park or drive in any situation.

I haven’t used a checkbook at the grocery store or any checkout in at least 15 years. My Mom (RIP) used to use them but even the people she went shopping with from the retirement home would get impatient behind her in line. So she just used a credit card at Publix and paid it off every month.
Really it’s super rare to see anyone using checks anymore.

I wrote that because it happened to me a few weeks ago. Ran by the store after work to grab a couple of things. Went to the line with one older lady who was mostly finished checking out. When all the items were scanned, the cashier gave her the total and then she started searching in her overnight bag sized purse for her checkbook. I know patience is a virtue but it isn't one of mine.

Well pretty much any truck today needs to be a crew cab truck or you won’t be able to haul your kids around.
Are they only allowed to drive a sedan or a minivan or do you have problems with minivans as well?

Im just trying to help you figure out the reason behind your anger.

Do you just need to haul your kids around? Minivans are cheaper. What are you hauling around with your truck? If it's trailers to job sites then w/e. If it's a boat, minivans work fine.

I've been doing lots of interstate driving lately. The two things that drive me crazy -

1. I have cruise at 75. I am behind a car in passing lane, passing a car or two, and they are driving 72, for example. I follow them at their speed for however long it takes to pass. THEN when they get by cars on the right, they immediately accelerate and change into the right lane, creating distance between them and me. By the time I catch back up to them, they pull into the left lane to pass the next semi they caught up to, and here I am going 72 again.

2. Cars who don't use cruise and pass me/I pass them over and over because they can't pick a speed. Often these cars will sit in my blind spot for a good bit of time, or I catch up to them, get along side, and then they accelerate away.

Those are the ones it's just worth kicking it up to 85+ to get around and put some distance in between. They just want to be in front of you, but don't really know why.

I’m not worried about needing to justify my truck, I’m more concerned about your anger for people with trucks but just to please you.

I use mine to haul around a bunch of wood and often a trailer.
I use an outdoor wood boiler to heat my house so a little sedan wouldn’t work too well.
Plus I live out on a gravel road and need to 4 wheel drive to get to work.
My truck still looks spotless because I take care of it. The only flaws are door dings because of parking lots where people don’t know how to park.

That's what I do too but it usually starts with me saying "this effing guy."

I wish my FIL still had his truck. I used it often for projects, e.g., hauling wood, picking up a yard of mulch (cheaper than by the bag), water heater, etc. Trucks definitely come in handy.

 

[tarheelbybirth]

I have a complaint though on parallel parking. The spaces are too small for my 1 ton 4-wheel drive truck to fit if the car in front and back are parked as close to the lines as possible.

Run 'em over. Those assholes!

You don't need to be concerned about me judging people with trucks. They fuggin complain all the time about small vehicles so spare me.

 

[JWolf74]

Then you’d be busy in Florida. The OLD FARTS are constantly trying to prove they can be careful drivers and slooowly merge and end up making things worse.

Yeah, old Floridians are the worst.

Counter-counterpoint: Most people park in spots the normal way, which is to not back into it. So of course you are going to see more crappy parking jobs.

True. But if you look at the vehicles backed in, I'd bet 96.69%+ are parked within the lines.

Well you certainly do have to be more careful backing into a spot.

Yeah, old retirees from other states who move to Florida are the worst.

FIFY. 😉

 

[McLovin32]

Driving: I hate people that don't use cruise control. It's happened to me quite a few times when I'll pass someone when I'm going 75 on cruise, and then a few minutes later they'll pass me going faster than 75. Then a few minutes later I pass them again, without changing my speed. Then rinse and repeat.

Gym: As mentioned, I hate the people that do a set, then sit on their phone for 10 minutes before doing another. I also hate when people set their phone and water bottle on a machine/bench that they're not even using. That bugs the absolute shit out of me. Also, the people that use stuff and don't put it away when they're done, or wipe it down. SOTE

I cannot relate to anything ITT. I will ask my driver when he gets back from lunch.

 

[Hawgk]

While I don’t hate them, the anti back-in parking people might as well have “idiot” tattooed on their forehead.

The company I worked for had a huge fleet of vehicles and back-in parking was company policy because the insurance company offered a discount because it’s statistically much safer than forward parking. It’s also easier to park once you learn how to do it properly.

We had a lot of pushback and refusal to obey the policy initially. After write-ups and forced training like 90% of the company got on board. About 10% refused.

When business slowed and it was time for layoffs, the problem corrected itself. People weren’t let go because they refused back-in parking, they just happed to correlate almost perfectly with the dumbest, laziest and most incompetent employees we had.

 

[jellyfish10]

Back in parkers should be given a death sentence

Oh this again! I’ve driven a 3/4 ton truck or bigger for 25 years. It is without question far easier to get in/out of a crowded parking lot by backing in.

 

[Bierhalter]

Or speed up while exiting to get ahead of the person who is also speeding up to enter. Come on, people, you should be SLOWING DOWN to exit, so just slide in behind the person trying to get up to interstate speed to get on.

This is just shitty ramp design. I hate it.

 

[jawatkins]

If you can’t properly make a meatloaf. The ketchup topping should be thin enough to caramelize and not be a damn river. There should be plenty of thin chopped peppers and onions. It should be just a bit crispy on the edges.

At the school where I coach there is a specific part of the lot that when I have to park in that row I will back in. Just that row because it is way easier to get out going forward than backing out.

 

[McLovin32]

I also HATE people that make instant mashed potatoes and put cheese on top and call it party potatoes. Those people need to rot in hell for eternity.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

I hate it when people race out of town to get in front of you and then turn left a mile down the road. Usually making you sit there a good minute before then can turn.

If you don't give me a courtesy wave for letting you go first through a narrow neighborhood road, you are scum.

 

[Mayland]

It’s clear that a lot of you have never parked a vehicle bigger then you’re shitty little Prius or any Subaru vehicle.

It is a million times easier to back in a bigger vehicle.
Plus I’m not even sure why you get so butthurt about how a vehicle is parked.

it’s way more annoying when some little shit box is parked way over the line. The other day I saw a car taking up 4 spots in the parking lot. Parked well over the line on the side and well over the line in front of it. I’m guessing it was probably one of you that bitch about backing into a parking spot.

It’s way faster for me to back into a spot than pull in forward. But as someone else said, I won’t back into a spot if someone is behind me in the parking lot.

Between pulling trailers and my box being full of crap, I need my pickup about 150 days out of the year. I’ve never understood the anti-pickup crowd.

 

[goldmom]

When I’m parking in my assigned lot on FSU Gameday I will always try my best to find a spot where I can pull through so I’m facing outwards. After the game it’s just so much easier.

Meatloaf? Seriously? Don’t know how that got in this thread but my Mom taught me how to make it right. And my cold meatloaf Sammie’s the next day are the best reason to make it in the first place.
Boxed fake potatoes with melted cheese? I can’t even…

Any situation where someone lets someone in gets a wave from me. It’s just basic. 👍

Don't you work in agriculture? Obvious truck situation. I work in banking industry. The people in the parking lots at work need a pickup 4 weekends per year to tow something an SUV or minivan could handle easily. Purely recreation. They also love to accelerate recklessly and weave in and out of lanes when there's snow/ice because AWD can handle the acceleration and I guess they're confident that the road is clear ahead for whatever reason and they'll always be able to stop in time or not go sideways on an ice patch. Stupid me, driving cautiously in hazardous conditions like I was taught.

I feel like most SUV’s are just as big as most trucks. Why don’t they get the hate?
You have a problem with truck beds and tailgates?

I'm not big into SUVs either but they make sense to me as a family vehicle and don't look out of place in a commuter lot. And SUVs have gotten plenty of hate for a long time. If you are one of those people who just has to have a big high riding vehicle, SUV is the stylish choice. A "country boy" paper pusher in a pickup I'm not buying. Like you're trying to hard to stick to your roots. I like a minivan.

 

[Hendy hawk]

I was always taught to look both ways before crossing the street.
I realize a person in the crosswalk has the right of way but when a person steps out in front of me without looking but straight ahead it pisses me off. What if my brakes should fail?
You're dead and their family are morning that you're dead but counting all the money my insurance will pay because my breaks failed for some reason. My God at leased look before stepping out.
