Now there's nowhere for seasonal workers to live during the season.

Land is not the issue in rural its getting builders

I lived there for 7 years and worked at the mitre 10. You'd be surprised how many builders there are. There's land releases and developments happening in Kalkite, East Jindabyne and out past Leesville. The problem is not a shortage of builders or resources. The problem is greedy property owners opting to cater for short-stays from tourists rather than seasonal workers.

Eh normally not a fan but this could easily backfire if the carpark is packed.

You should park as far away from the business as possible so you interfere with as few people as possible

Guilty, I do it all the time at Bunnings but I use the trailer bays if available.

Grab your torch and pitchforks!

Can’t tell if it’s actually in anyone’s way

As long as car park is not full, no issues

It used to an an Aussie quality of 'giving the benefit of a doubt', where we would assume the driver got caught-out arriving at a packed car park like could've happened to us.

The uncovered load is being a dick, though.

Yes - take the trailer parking spaces, or 8f they're full, further back in the lot taking up two spaces, not impeding traffic

There's probably little else he could do, so no, get a new hobby.

No who gives a shit it’s not a big deal

If it's not busy, it's fine. On a busy weekend or Xmas week, f off

Nope, go for it. I've seen many cars without trailers parked in the trailers parking at Bunnings. Fair's fair.

Honestly, if you're willing to park there and leave stuff that can be stolen off the back, I assume you probably had a good reason

Being anywhere at any time is selfish. Go home.

Depends, if you're at bunnings or a mower shop I reckon it's OK. If you're at woolies/coles/IGA then GTFO.

Almost as selfish as owning an American truck

So many people are assuming this was at Bunnings. It wasn't.

To again be clear, the trailer was blocking another vehicle parked perpendicular.

Some are criticising the photograph used. There were limitations in getting a clear photograph, due to the location and building the photograph was taken from.

You couldn’t park a truck or bus there and say ok. Yeah, it’s a dick move and I think you should be held responsible for issues that arise.

Yes

selfish and kinda dangerous tbh

It's not selfish at it is an advertisement for a free lawn mower and trailer

It's a dick move blocking old mate in

He forgot he was towing a trailer

Is it more acceptable to park horizontal occupying 2 or maybe 3 parking spaces?

Context matters!

Are they parked in a normal spot with the trailer hanging out, into what would normally be where people drive?

Or are they just taking up 2 spots, one in front of the other?

No, not in a Bunnings car park … always room to park at our local store.

No

What do you expect him to do?

It appears the trailer is not in a park, and is blocking the road, so I would say absolutely. If you really need to bring your trailer to a standard car park that doesn’t accomodate trailers, then you need to find somewhere you won’t block traffic (e.g. two parks back to back)

Lots of places are making spaces for people with trailers. Just idiots with out trailers park in them.

God damn, some of the comments make me wanna really piss you guys off and park diagonally across 8 spaces.

I can be MILDLY annoying seeing an available park only to realise a trailer is there. I work maintenance at shopping centres once in a while, and will drag my trailer through the car park, never had anyone say anything. Seems like a bunch whingers

If I have a trailer I try to park as far away as possible so; A. I don't irritate 'normal' vehicles and; B. Can get out of the carpark easily so I don't hit any other vehicles or obstacles....

No. You try finding a park with a trailer on

It's a Captiva.

It's not parked, it's broken down.

I can't tell where this is, but assuming there are no (or no free) designated spots for cars with trailers, how else is he supposed to park? Trailers aren't illegal and it's not like it's an empty trailer. So not sure what one would expect??

Many places have double length car parks. Perhaps he just forgot the trailer was on.

Yes

This is the shits way

This pic is tight enough, showing so little it is impossible to answer with any fairness.

Is this a settle a bet situation or do you just want people to agree with you even tho this park may be totally reasonable.

Trailer is sticking out by the way it's look not good

Selfish. Stupid. Dangerous. Illegal.

Plenty of adjectives

no, it's stupid

Dickhead act

Not selfish but stupid

It’s fine

No

if i was looking for a parking spot and see this and wonder why there is none i'm going karen mode and driveing into this idiot's trailor because in reality all i wanted to do was to go in buy my shit and get out . **your welcome people :)**

Surely there’s trailer parking…

Yes

Near me a Dickhead' just went thru Maccas drive thru with a trailer then proceeded to sit in the way of anyone trying to get out. Some people just have tiny brains

How else are you supposed to park with a trailer?

You got a better idea. Perhaps they had no alternative.

Not as bad as if the individual were to park horizontally, thereby taking up 4 parking spots

Just out of curiosity, where do the people who are saying this is an issue expect people with trailers to park, i tow and I certainly try and park as far up the back of the carpark as I can but sometimes there arnt alot of options. People in vans on holiday need to stop at Woolies. Where would you like them to park?

No I don’t think so be patient with others as this might happen to you one day so make allowances

When did selfish become an insult that grown adults use against other grown adults?

If somebody parked me in with their trailer, I'd just remove their trailer and wheel it away from their vehicle lol. Chuck the break on and lower the jocky wheel, your set to rocknroll

To be fair if it was one of those new Dodge Rams it'd probably have a similar footprint

I'm often towing a trailer on the a weekends and the combination is a lot bigger than that. I need to stop and shop at certain places along the way since i live 1+ hour away and it's always an anxious time for me. First I am trying to work out if the carpark is big enough to exit with my combination before I pull in which is not always clear when approaching the entry. Then I've got to workout if there's somewhere as far away from the shop as possible where I can stop, even if it means being parallel across 4 spaces. Doesnt really matter if you use 4 spaces when there's 30 empty in a row furtherest from the door. You might think I could park around the back but usually those empty spaces are arranged somi can't turn my rig around to get back out without risking backing into something. I also sometimes have to angle across parks which might seem inconsiderate but guaranteed that when i come put some Karen will park her motorised shopping trolley right in front of my grill.to block me in instead of using any of the other 24 empty spaces. Usually these shops are on busy main roads so there's no street parking. Some places I know there's a back street around the corner I can park provided no Prius is parked right in the middle because I need at least 2 parallel parking spots for the rig.

Often one of us will sit in the car while the other goes and buys whatever it is so we are ready to move if someone is unhappy.

Sometimes I get annoyed with dear wife demanding she really has to buy some decoration or something today. Can't see she I've got a tandem trailer on the back? I mean we do need food if I can figure out where to stop. Why do we have to stop for a new set of pillowslips? Then a heated discussion ensues... ggrrrahhh! I digress. Usually it is something we actually do need and can't wait.

Plenty of times it's all too hard but that means I can't buy whatever I needed for at least a day and probably another week due to the distance from home.

Selfish, stupid, unsafe, entitled, oblivious [et.al](https://et.al). Take your pick and add more.

depends.

if he's parked all the way at the back, he's keeping the lawn mower. If he's parked all the way at the front near the entrance, I got myself a free lawn mower.

LOL definitely 🤣 but what else can you do ?

I mean if it's bunnings they do gave areas specifically for this

Depends largely on what business you're at and if you're actually using the trailer to load stuff into at that business, in the case, park as close as possible

I'd happily use the trailer bays if some fuckhead in a corolla wasn't parked in them first

Bit different bunnings is a place that would normally would have a decent amount of trailers vs just like woollies or something.

Not guilty my friend.

Are they parking in two bays or hanging the trailer in the road way though? Two bays, absolutely ok. In the road, not cool.

Yeah worst photo ever

That attitude is fairly common amongst my friends over 50 and noticeably absent amongst friends in their 20s/30s.

I question whether there is some correlation between a "benefit of the doubt" attitude and broadly, the optimistic/cynical environment of one's childhood and youth.

Either way, empathy seems to be receding like a tide draining into a tsunami. Dickhead behaviour is a product of absent empathy, behaviour which in turn is difficult to condone by those more empathetic, especially when it is overtly belligerent or obnoxious such that cannot be the result of ignorance.

why does it need to be covered? It's all tied off

Looks like everything is strapped down to me?

could be bunnings or some shit

That only works if the trailer spaces arent full of cars without trailers

I envy people who winge about stuff like this, they clearly have no actual issues in their lives

This attitude is exactly why the country is going down the shitter.

Congratulations, you are the problem
