I think Arie is probably inconsiderate with the parking, but harassing Lauren at her new home is not okay. She should be able to walk around without being verbally harassed. I think the poster’s SO as described sounds as rude or ruder than Arie. JMO.

These neighbors seem a little scary but they also seem very very classy.

@alwaystulips That doesn't look so big - I expected a monster truck based on the neighbor's comment!

Now I want to see a copy of Arie’s HOA parking rules.

Can you guys see how I feel about HOA?

I think there's a big difference between parking your car in the wrong place on your own driveway and consistently parking it in the few available visitor spots in the neighbourhood, let alone the only disabled spot. I looked at his neighbourhood on Google Maps (because I still had the Airbnb link in my browser history), and the neighbour wasn't lying about there being one single disabled spot. It's also between two normal parking spots parallel to the road, as in the cars are parked back to back. No matter which of those spots he uses, he's probably blocking the handicap spot, since his truck is way longer than a regular car. Long story short, he's a jerk IMHO.

Wow Arie has some size insecurities imo.

I mean the person on reddit was told to call him out on Twitter about this and Hasn't TBH this is a serious issue and I hope that whoemever this is post proof because this is a serious claim.

It may look big in the photos because of the angles and putting it against a small car, but trust me, the F150 (which is the Raptor that Arie owns) is not an oversize truck. My SUV actually stands a little taller and is the same body length, which I know because my husband's F150 sits in the drive beside my car. There are many truck models that are larger. An F150 is basically an average size truck. He has large tires on it, but not so large as to qualify it as a 'monster truck.'

If it’s not an oversized truck as stated above , then why block the handicap stall?
I drive a F-150 too.

If driving a truck the size of an F150 means you have size insecurity, seemingly 1/4 the drivers in Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and probably some other states exhibit this same insecurity. I'm referring to males and females!

Sorry, but to me there is no excuse to block the use of the handicapped space ever. JMO.

You can get different sizes though. Knowing Arie, he probably got the biggest he could get just because. JMSO.
