Default Picture says it all

Went out yesterday afternoon with my wife for a coffee. Found an end spot at the coffee shop parking lot. Had to laugh when returning to my car!

Geeez! I don't get why a person would do that. But maybe the owner of his truck thinks the same of his truck and you do your Vette.

People are jerks. At least he parked far enough away not to crash you with his jumbo doors.

No malicious intent, probably feels the same way about his truck.

...but he did create his own parking stall over a striped-out section. If that was on a public street, he would have been ticketed. If the lot was full, then I guess he's justified, if not and there were empty stalls, he did it to make a (weak) statement. Judging by the size of the parking stall the C7 was parked in, they look plenty wide. However, I would find humor in it if there is still plenty of room.

Why not? Buddy obviously did it as a joke and left more than enough room. Good for the Tundra driver, I think it's funny as hell.

Honestly, I don't see the issue. It'd be one thing if he was sandwiched right next to you, but he gave you plenty of room. I'm in agreement with the folks that see no malicious intent here, but rather, someone who didn't want his truck to get dinged up.

Such a small world, isn't it? I grew up in Baldwinsville! (To the un-informed, a hop-skip-jump next to Liverpool/Syracuse).
Probono: This happens to us all the time, at least this fella left room, ugh.
Just laugh and enjoy your car, it's all you can do.

That's the only upside. Would be very rude if he/she had parked door ding close.

Not long ago I told an acquaintance I see at the gym that parking his big a***d pickup way out may incite the small minded to damage his truck. He's parked closer but still where it is unlikely to offend the clowns. Don

From the looks of the grass/dirt to the right of the pavement, maybe this is a legit spot

Except he's not in a spot. He parked in an area that those yellow lines specifically say do NOT park here.

He is lucky some places will tow morons who park where there is no parking. Must be some hick who wants to keep at least a tire or two on the dirt. Likely had cattle **** on his boots as well.

Who cares?! It's obviously a vacant lot! I'm sure he had a laugh and so did the OP, so....
