Mum left raging after noticing how cars park outside school at pick up

Disclaimer: If you feel the need question this woman, then you've never done a school pick-up.

Rush hour traffic, road raging parents, and no car spaces, these are the joys mum and dad get every Monday to Friday.

And one mum from Australia has recently gone viral on TikTok for pointing out an extremely annoying school pick up habit some parents have.

For anyone who has experienced the school car park/pick up lane, you'll now how stressful it can be to pull in to pick the kids up and pull out without crashing into the oncoming drivers.

Usually, you have to get to the school at least 30 minutes early to get a decent spot, and more importantly, to not completely lose your mind.

Taking to TikTok, a mum named Zoe, who goes by the user tag @zoestiktok91, has pointed out an unspoken frustration - and that's how parents park their cars.

She baited out the 'selfishness' of some parents who don't leave enough room to let others park in front or behind.

Zoe showcased her frustration via a now-viral TikTok, which was simply captioned: "Bruh."

"I don't think anything annoys me more than when you turn up to the school, and people park THAT far apart," the text overlay on the video read.

The mum then zooms in on a row of cars parked about 1.5m away from each other.

"Why, why do you do that?" she concludes.

Her logic is if cars park closer together, more parents will be able to park.

However, Zoe seemed to slightly divide the viewers in the comments.

One person wrote: "It's because some people park super close behind you and this means you can get out easily."

Another decided to issue their own advice by adding: "Um to be able to get out … maybe get there earlier."

To which Zoe sarcastically replied: "omg get there before the school bell goes... that's so smart thank you for your advice."

Meanwhile, a third agreed: "it so they can safely manoeuvre their cars, it should be like this, people need to stop parking close."

But others were in agreement with Zoe, as one person said: "This is THE most frustrating thing ever. No one knows how to park...

"My school has lines. No one parks within the lines."

"Glad I'm not alone here!! so infuriating. Especially when there is like 4 in a row doing it," another added.
