You know, it doesn't say how they’re taking up two spots. If they’re going about it long-wise, then I’d be okay with long ass vehicles taking up two spots. I’ve seen cars/trucks with trailers do it all the time.
Now if they’re parking like a BMW and taking up two spots that way, then sure, they’re kind of an ahole. Slightly Less so if at least they parked in the boonies.
I think the assholery entirely derives from where in the lot they are. First half of rows? Fuckin asshole. Ass end of the lot? You're fine. I'm not gonna assume this person doesn't have a reason for owning a larger vehicle, that'd be unreasonable. I'll judge based on the actual information present, and it seems like they're at least TRYING.
Yeah there's that too lol.The further back the better.
That's the second time I've noticed the word boonies and they were both today. What does it mean?
Short for "boondocks," which just means out in a rural area (or in this case, the far end of the parking lot).
I'm too lazy to look up the etymology though.
Thanks. I was clearly too lazy to Google it either! Have a good day, helpful internet steanger.
Boonies (n): a thinly settled rural area
Boondocks (n): a remote, thinly settled rural area
(They both have basically the same definition, but I thought I'd still put them both for good measure.)
Thank you!
