All of them are so proud of their back-in parking skills thinking that space is for them. Meanwhile handicapped and children have to walk in the way of them, ironically dodging the same trucks that are so tall that they can’t be seen
This happens where I live and I keep wondering how crazy I would be to complain about it. The parking spots aren’t long enough for trucks, so they back in and completely cover the sidewalk. I need to use mobility devices to get around and usually have to fight my way through the grass because there isn’t enough room for my walker. I’m not looking forward to this fight when snow is on the ground
Yeah I think it’s time for an urbanism community here on Lemmy. I’ve been on the fence but I’m all for spreading more awareness that things like this are not normal.
Note, do not steal them, just lay them on the ground under the truck so they can retrieve it. Reality is that they almost certainly won’t look at all before leaving and never know where it went.

Make a habit of removing their tow hitches so you can get past.
And there’s a convenient truck bed right there to deposit it into.
As much as I love this idea, especially the suggestion to place it like a parking ticket, I have less dexterity in my hands than I do in my legs lol
Maybe I need to befriend a few neighborhood urchins xD
Perhaps a foghorn installed on your mobility devices?

Parking like that is way easier than parking hood-first, lol.
