I feel like you’re an asshole if you buy a 22 foot long pickup to take to IKEA.
I don't see it that way. Long vehicles at IKEA, Lowe's, hell even Michael's -- I don't care. Their parking lots are built for that. And the stuff they get.
Long vehicles in a fucking Trader Joes, definitely asshole material.
Yeah, God forbid he wants to actually take stuff home.
That said, if you've got a huge truck (and I live in the country and work blue collar so I get it, sometimes you need one), have a small car too. Trucks aren't cheap, you can afford a Civic for the city.
Get your truck up to the loading area then. Why are you moving huge loads by hand when you have a perfectly good truck for that?
