This Mom Was Furious After Someone Inconsiderately Parked So Close To Her, She Could Barely Get The Trunk Of Her Car Open To Put Her Stroller In
Sometimes, it’s the small things that make you spiral on a given day, like tiny acts of rudeness from strangers.
Steph is a mom of two who goes by @stepharneilll on TikTok, and she recently shared her honest reaction to a stranger parking so close to the trunk of her car, she could barely get it open to put her stroller in.
Steph explained in the beginning of her video that she parked “properly” in a parking lot spot with her car, which means she was well within those painted lines.
She went inside to shop after parking, came back out, and couldn’t believe what she was met with: someone who inconsiderately parked ridiculously close to her.
At first, Steph expressed concern over most likely not being able to open the trunk of her own car, that’s how tight the spot was between her car and the stranger’s located right behind her.
With mere millimeters to spare, Steph’s trunk managed to open without grazing the car in the other space.
I’ll admit, I watched Steph’s video with bated breath, fully expecting Steph’s trunk to slam into the hood of the stranger’s car. It was that close of a call!
“I…hate inconsiderate [jerks] like this,” Steph fumed in her video after resolving to find some way to squeeze her stroller into the trunk.
“I hope they see it…I hope they see this video. I’m so tempted to leave a note on their car.”

Steph was able to wrestle her stroller into the back, and in the end, Steph actually did write the stranger a note, giving them a piece of her mind.
She tucked the note under their windshield wipers, hoping it would prevent them from being so rude in the future with their park jobs.
In a follow-up video replying to a comment where someone said that stroller parking exists for a reason, Steph clarified that she was parked in a special section designated for people with strollers.
Additionally, she had easily one foot of space between her car and the white line painted on the floor behind her.
“I was parked in a spot specifically for parents with prams, and it still ended up like that,” Steph said in her second video.
“So basically all I’ve learned from this situation is I should cater to every other car, even if they’re way bigger than mine, even if I don’t drive a car like that, in case they don’t have enough room. I should cater to everyone who’s an inconsiderate [jerk].”
What it make you mad if someone parked this close to you?
“This comment section is wild. Surely it’s reasonable to consider the lines of a parking spot as ‘your’ space. I would never in a million years do this to another driver. Common courtesy,” one person commented on Steph’s video.
“I can’t believe the number of people blaming you in some way when that person is literally INSIDE YOUR PARKING SPACE!?” another person added.
“I would go into the shops and ask if the check-out person could read…over the loud speaker saying it’s been damaged. They will come running and spend time looking over the car. Inconvenience their shopping like they have yours,” a third weighed in.
