Brevity by Dan Thompson for September 23, 2015

It’s true in other parts.

So where did the Mayflower park?

Not here. I drive one of those subcompacts and regularly see the pickup trucks parking across lines, taking two – and in some cases three spots. Never see the small cars do that. It’s always the pickups.

Around here it is all vehicle types that do it. I think some lots use a smaller space in order to have additional spaces ( just a theory). My 10yr old PU truck hasn’t gotten any wider (unlike me) but I have found that parking in newer parking lots is a little more difficult. Plus most lots use straight rather than diagonal spaces.Though nothing explains the motorcycles I have seen parked right on the line.

gopher,I like your overview on this. My thoughts exactly.

Lola has a similar theme today.http://www.gocomics.com/lola/2015/09/23

When you drive a a Coach, you can park anywhere.

I’ve seen a full-size school bus parked in a compact spot before. It took up two compact spots in front of each other, so length wasn’t a problem. Width on the other hand… Really wish I’d gotten a picture of it.

That purse needs to take a powder.

Love the compacts in the parking spaces next to the purse.

What a lame strip! I seem to remember that once it was funny…
