He's nice enough to make a sign, at least give the man some benefits of the doubt.
Maybe it's company issued car? Or maybe his work really need a 22ft pickup?
Then get a van
I drive around a big ass bus for work, and sometimes private. I van fit in every parking spot a normal car can fit in. Hell, sometimes even better, because the front wheels are all the way in the front. I can fit about 8 times as much inside my bus that people can pun on their yank tanks.
Preach brother/sister/other!
My family car (1) is a 7-seater 'bus'. I fit an entire bathroom kit in it from the hardware store.
No tank required.
how should they park the van?
I did give them the benefit of the doubt... by not actually putting that sign on their car!
If they're one of the very rare "I actually need this vehicle", fine, but we don't know.
If they're one of the common "I NeEd tHIs gIAnT veHicLE" people compensating for their own insecurities... not done, but also more likely.
No one here genuinely hates tradies (etc) who genuinely use large vehicles... we hate people who buy them without needing them, because too many of them suck for everyone.
