Are people in that big of a hurry.....

.....for shopping these days they cant park safely? Are they even coherent when driving for cryin out loud?
So I went to the local Bed Bath and Beyond for some more garland today (for the wife), and my daughter actually noticed this first. This driver obviously was in a bigger hurry than I (which is hard to believe. Seems like Im always in a hurry these days. Im just glad I didnt park close to them......

In a Hurry?

I say, "No, probably just clueless/perpetually out-to-lunch".

Seems to be a growing trend; cluelessness, that is.

Typical suburban housemom with a landyacht consuming cheap Chinese goods because she's conditioned to do so.

meh, when I had my durango, if i had a chance to park like that i would take it.

I used to have a high parking curb at my work, i'd used to drive up on it with only one front wheel, it would 3-wheel, it was awesome. lol... i wish i still had a pic of this.

saw a big lexus SUV parked like that today in a huge ass handicapped spot. I really don't understand unless it makes them feel like they took their oversize SUV off road and maxed its potential

Women usually dont care about what they do with their cars. Especially the kind that hang out at bed bath beyond. I saw a woman today driving her pilot home from dunkin donuts, with a flat. Someone even mentioned it to her before she left. The lady was driving home with a completely flat tire, it didn't even look like she cared. I mean, you couldve called AAA or Amex, or your insurance company? Come on!

Highlander or Outlander, I forget what it was......To know you have a flat tire, and to drive with it, is just pure stupidity......

I feel stupid when I nudge the little curb at the edge of the space. I could never let this fly.

Plus, since when did the Toyota Highlander become a 'landyacht' of a 'huge SUV'?
