A local parking lot to me recently needed to add more spaces, but of course, they were already occupying all the space they possibly could. So, what did they do? They made the spaces narrower and labeled them "compact" LOL. So now, the guy that double parks his giant ass truck in one of those spots will take up one and a half spaces, and people naturally just don't use the half space that's left. So instead of having more spots, you end up with a whole bunch of double parked compact spots used by XXL Fords.

Big brain ideas over here y'all.

It would have worked fine if they had made the entrances narrower.

Lol, I'm picturing a pissed off F250 driver, staring at the tiny spots he can no longer pull into, fuming, "What in tarnation? How am I supposed to park my mega truck in those tiny spots???" heehee

Lol, now that's thinking. Concrete block walls just wide enough to let a Prius through. I bet the truckbrians would love that so much.
