No Parking Means No Parking

Maybe this is just one of those things that bothers me, but...

I get to park, for free, in a parking garage with covered access for my current temp job. I'm thankful for that because parking can be expensive in Houston. Very expensive. Which is somewhat surprising considering all of the damn parking lots we have instead of parks or green space in this city. But that's not my complaint. This is my complaint.

Each floor of the garage has a series of parking spaces set aside for small/compact cars. There are even signs hanging above each space saying "Compact Cars Only. No parking for Trucks or SUVs. You Will Be Towed If You Park a Truck or SUV."

Yet each day, when I arrive, trucks and SUVs are parked in these spaces. And each day, when I leave, these same trucks and SUVs are still parked in these spaces.

First, there is no fine ink on the signs that says this applies to everybody but the trucks and SUVs that park there. These vehicles have no special tags that say they have permission to park in these spaces. So maybe somebody can tell me just what kind of thought processing goes on to the self-possessed assholes driving these vehicles, besides the standard self-possessed asshole thinking that goes on with any person who drives a truck or SUV? What is it with these people that make them think they're so damn special, and that the rules don't apply to them?

I would never consider parking my car in a space that says "Trucks or SUVs Only." And I know that if I were to do so, there would be some jerk complain, because, despite a general inability to actually park one of their behemoth's correctly, i.e., between the lines, not on or over the lines or in correct spaces, I've never met a bigger bunch of crybabies and spoiled brats than people who drive SUVs and trucks. So you just know they would complain.

As for the parking garage people: what's the point of the damn signs threatening towing if you're not actually going to tow? I've got a parking garage at my apartment complex. And the rule is, a posted rule, that visitors can only park on the top of the garage, and that they will be towed if they don't. And guess what, there are tow trucks here every night towing cars that aren't properly parked. So if my apartment complex can do it, why can't this place?

Better yet. Why don't the people driving the trucks and SUVs actually park where they're supposed to park?
