Angry Do drivers NOT know where the front end of there car really is?

I hate is, I'm driving along and come up to an exit to a shopping center or a cross stress and some one in there car is pulled up to the corner too far and there bummer is in MY line. I than have to more over in the next lane to go around there front end if there's not a car in the lane or I have to stop and wait for them to back up.

I drive a BIG van (so big that the dam thing beeps when I put it in reverse, I'm not kidding ) and I can't just move over in my own lane to miss the car's bumper.

There is one corner I have to drive by to get home and EVERY TIME there's a car there they are pulled out IN road to far for me to keep going in my own lane and not hit them.


Anyone else want to vent about other drives?

Yeah, I hate it when people are driving big vans or SUV's and you can't see around them when you are trying to turn and they are beside you or they park beside you and you can't see around them when backing out of parking place LOL

This is why I don't back out of parking places, I always pull into 2 spaces (I'm 22 feet long and can't fit into one space anyway) where I can pull thru and not have to back up. And don't worry, when I pull into 2 spaces I always go to the back of the parking lot so I don't take up an extra space dear the doors of the store.

Amen, Barb. I drive an Accord so when I get next to a big SUV (who can afford the gas for those things anymore anyway???) or a van I feel like I'm dwarfed by them! You sort of have to say a little prayer, gunn it and hope you make it out!

They're cute!

How do you manage all 7 kids. I dont have any kids, but I couldnt handle the four that one of my friends has when they were all younger. (her oldest is now 20yrs old, and it just totally freaks me out that he grew up so fast. He cant be 20yrs old yet! he was just a little kid the other day!)

I never learned how to take care of kids. If I ever have a baby, I better start saving up money for all the psychotherapy the kid is going to need as an adult.)

Thank you, I really don't know how I do it, a wonderful husband and 2 ladies that help clean and watch them some so I can go out alone or with DH.
I can't believe how fast the kids grow Your bring home a newborn one day and the next there heading off to school and than before you know it there's 6 more and there all in school (well in less than 6 months all 7 will be in school).
