I think this is the nicest way to go about parking a vehicle like this. I might think it's a bigger vehicle than necessary, but this is not the person who should primarily receive hate for their choice of car.
exactly, it could be their work vehicle and they don't have a choice! people like to view it from their hate colored glasses and make assumptions. I used to drive a big box truck when my car died, it took up two spaces, but I'm an asshole for not buying a car that meets your criteria, got it!
As the person driving is extremely likely to have been the buyer, yes, they deserve the hate.
No, they don't. It's bad that someone buys this to begin with, and yeah it sucks that they're taking up two parking spaces, but why direct your hate towards a person who actually seems to have a better attitude than 99% of people driving similar vehicles?
They seem to have a better attitude because of the sign?
Yes.
Depends on where they parked. If it's way out of the way, then no one cares, they aren't using a parking spot someone wanted anyway.
If they are right at the front of the store, well that's a bit entitled.
