Anyone with a truck carrying giant flags. If you are in the US, you know what I mean.
I’m conflicted by this because the other day, I saw one of these with LGBTQ+ flags and not the typical American, Mexican, Rattlesnake or Trump 2024 flags.
Still, it was on a giant truck clearly not for working on a farm or hauling anything but ass and those giant flags are obnoxious no matter what they are signalling.
They’re in Canada, too.
Not one of our best exports
We breed our own here, too, unfortunately
Anyone with a truck that doesn’t own a farm or is a contractor.
I don’t own a farm nor am I contractor. I own a truck. I tow my side by side, camping, work on my yard, and use it as my daily driver. Granted it’s the new ranger so it’s not big or a gas guzzler but it’s still a truck and I LOVE that truck.
Tesla’s have become the new BMW drivers from my experience as of late.
Any truck but Dodge Ram in particular.
Ram trucks are the official vehicle of domestic abuse.
Anything with truck nuts attached
Hold up. Truck nuts on a Prius or PT Cruiser is fucking hilarious
For giggles I kinda want to put them on my minivan.
For a minivan, hilarious.
Jeeps and dodge pickups
Rubicons especially
Bicycle.
Yesterday while driving on a two lane road with a bike lane there were two people on bikes. What appeared to be a man and a woman in full brightly colored garb and helmets. Both were weaving in the bike lane and/or riding on the dividing line between the bike lane and the road. At one point, as a few cars were approaching them from behind, one of them whips over into the center of the road for no reason other than to block traffic thereby forcing the overtaking cars into the oncoming traffic lane. There was no obstruction on the bike lane. The other rider proceeded with weaving about unpredictably. She simply couldn’t stand the idea of someone safely passing them and forced an unsafe condition for everyone involved…
Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.
I pray that every bike she every rides has a slow leak in both tires no matter how often it is patched or replaced. The more time she spends off the road pumping up the tires, the less time she is endangering herself and others.
Rarely is someone on a bicycle and not an asshole!
This is such a strange perspective. I’m not a bike rider, but never understand people’s issues with bikers, joggers, or anything on the road besides cars. Sure, assholes are everywhere, but nearly every biker? That has not been even close to my experience, and I mostly see cars/trucks being unnecessarily aggressive towards bikers and runners.
I live in an area with a lot of paved bike trails… made specifically for bikes, walkers, and joggers to have a SAFE place away for automobile traffic to enjoy their outdoor activity. Also there are bike lanes along side many main roads. The issue is the asshole that isn’t using the provided bike lane and intentionally blocking the main automobile lane while weaving unpredictably thereby making it unsafe to pass.
Driving down the road and a farmer on a tractor pulls out with a trailer loaded down with hay going 5 mph… that’s an annoyance but he’s got work to do and NEEDS to get where he’s going… sucks to be caught behind him but whatever he’s gonna get off the road eventually.
An asshole on a bike unnecessarily whipping over in front of a line of cars for no reason other than to be an asshole… that’s not acceptable behavior that’s a self important entitled asshole. Blocking traffic for LOLs is a dangerous game to play.
For pulling out into the lane, it may have been called “taking primary”.
If the road is not wide enough to pass them safely, that is the best place to be. That way drivers cannot try and squeeze through. Obviously, I cannot speak for the precise road conditions where this happened, but it is legitimate in certain circumstances. Traffic calming is a good example, as it makes the lane too small for a safe overtake. Add in the fact that most cycle lanes in cities are more dangerous than the main carriageway and you can see why cyclists will take the prime quite often.
That’s where the problem lies… in that particular area the bike lane is plenty wide enough for two bikes to ride side by side and the main roadway, in both directions, is plenty wide enough to not crowd the bike lane. No reason whatsoever for her to move out of the unencumbered bike lane and block the automobile lane which forced everyone attempting to overtake into the oncoming lane. It WASN’T a no passing double line so it was a safe place to take the oncoming traffic lane if it is empty of traffic. She was clearly playing stupid games. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes or fuck around and find out both apply and if she keeps up with that type of action then most certainly some day she will find out what winning a prize is all about. Of course the automobile driver will be the one at fault for driving in the main traffic lane and not avoiding the asshole on a bike.
(EU) SUVs. Are you insecure and too stupid to drive? GET A CAR 20% larger in every dimension so you can piss off the whole world with your incompetence.
Or do you have a genuine reason that makes them advantageous?
I have an SUV because:
- my mother in law has mobility issues and struggles to get in/out of a saloon.
- my wife has neck issues and the higher driving position is better for her
- I like it (ok, that could make me an arsehole)
Truth is that mine (BMW X1) is at most 5cm bigger in any dimension, if at all, than the car on which it is based (Mini Cooper). The extra size is an optical illusion.
Well then just block all roads and murder people while you are at it. A ok.
Did you read my post?
Would it be correct to sum up your post as: my family is so handicapped they can only drives SUVs, i am an asshole and need to talk about my COMPACT SUV because people in my life do not talk about it enough?
Also - the mass and form of an SUV makes them a good option in terms of safety. Smaller vehicles get crunched like pop cans, and trucks get sandwiched by their own bed if you hit a solid object.
Making yourself safer by making everyone else less safe still seems like an asshole move to me?
Bumper height should have been regulated on city roads, then we wouldn’t have gotten this escalation. Work truck, sure. If you need one, you need one. But people who drive a massive gas guzzler to park it at the office and go up the elevator to work?
Actually no. SUVs are great at murdering the drivers of other cars, they do not in fact protect you any better. Its just a big blow up dick for assholes.
That’s similar to why I hav an SUV. My dad has mobility issues and has a scooter to help him get around. The SUV is higher off the ground making it easier to get in and out while the larger cargo space can hold the scooter and anything else (groceries, luggage, etc).
Any recent Tesla model.
Omg there so ugly. Like driving a giant sperm.
That, and who the h3ll wants to give the idiot Elon any money after the way he’s acting? And then the quality issues… steering wheels falling off, I mean, good grief.
Dunno why but a bike. Everytime I see one it’s going 2x the speed limit, weaving through traffic, or doing a wheelie…
What bike they got going 2x the posted speed limit?
Going out on a limb here, but i think they meant motorcycle not bicycle.
Yeah
Teslas, Pickup trucks, SUVs
I drive a Tesla. I guess I’m an asshole for trying to pollute my immediate surroundings less.
Lifted trucks. My assurance goes up 10x if they have rims and tires meant for the road.
Lifted Dodge Ram. They are more likely to be drunk too.
Welcome to my new segment, You Might Want to Know?
Dodge and Ram are two different brands and product lines. Rams are the trucks, and Dodge makes muscle vehicles.
But as to your point, you’re more right than you possibly know!
Knowledge is knowing that Ram is now itcs own brand. Wisdom is knowing only nerds who use federated social media would care. Understanding is appreciating all new content people provide.
My friend and I bought trucks around the same time. Mine is a simple tradesman Ram, no bells and whistles, primarily for moving and hauling stuff that can’t fit in my wife’s sedan.
I’m a pretty passive driver. Live and let live, y’know?
My friend had a similar personality when he first got his Tundra (of course with all the extras he can afford). Then he goes and spends $10,000 on a lift, winch, and floodlights. Now he’s like a different person. He drives super aggressively, whipping round corners, weaving through traffic going 20mph over on the highway. He was driving me through some quiet neighborhood the other day and nearly mowed over a cyclist. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he shrugged and said “if she’s gonna ride a bike in the street, she’s gotta look out for trucks. Not my fault if she doesn’t see me”
TL;DR - truck drivers are fine, a truck is a tool like any other vehicle. Lifting your truck turns you into a redneck scumbag overnight though apparently.
100x if it’s squat… Squated?
It’s so dumb like Fucking whhhyyyy
Extra points if the have wheel spacers
truck nutz. like. not new (which might be a gag. I did zip tie some onto a friends car once. But, uh, it was a prius, and they were dragging on the gorund.)
In Thailand the list consists of:
- Toyota Fortuner
- Ford Ranger
- “All New” Isuzu D-Max (LPT: If you are here and pick up a girl and her profile says แม่น้องออนิว “Ornew’s Mom” or that kind of shit, GTFO!)
- Any MG
- Ora Good Cat
- Basically any other GWM/Chinese EV
- Police plate or Army plate cars (the plate has a police shield emblem or army chakra emblem).
- Any car that has วัดท่าไม้ sticker (probably from a temple known for asshole patrons).
- Any car that has คณะเรา sticker (surely the driver is an alum at a specific school known for its extremely tight knit alum system and they are willing to use their status or connections unlawfully to get out of trouble).
In my country the Fortuner is quite respected .
Any Subaru not so much . The outback is used by the secret service, Any other Subaru, teenagers .
Ram Trucks. according to research, these vehicles are the most likely to be driven, and wrecked, by a drunk driver. People who instinctively idolize an animal that solves it’s problems by smashing them with it’s face… probably not the best people to drive near.
It’s got nothing to do with any weird animal symbolism bro. Thing is, dodge will finance absolutely anybody. And dodge makes a fun vehicle until it breaks down.
do rams break down alot? because my father daily drove one for like 20 years without it breaking down
It’s like 50/50 lol. My brother has a 20+year old Ram, no problems. My Ram went tits up after 4 years. But my Charger ran like a champ until I sold it. If I’m ever in the situation where I can justify a fast car again, it will definitely be a another hemi. As far a trucks go tho, I’m a die hard GM fan these days.
Teslas. I can’t stand Tesla people. It is hilarious to watch these people drop a ton of money for total shit piles with terrible build quality and think they’re saving the planet. My sister in law is like this and I just shake my head.
