This picture irritates me so much
Is it illegal to own a sedan there?
What’s with the towball being top and bottom?
Different size for larger trailers over 3.5t. 50mm or 75mm typical use in Australia.
2" or 3" ball in NA to my understanding. They rotate around.
For when you’re towing in Australia.
Imagine trying to steer a shopping cart to your car here
How are none of these in their spaces?
Idiot lane
Tie them together!
easy way to solve this.
100 feet of chain, and 30 locks.
Be careful. You might search someone precious TrUcK
4x4 Off-Road
Has never seen anything but paved roads its entire life.
can’t help but notice that most of those trunks are empty too
It’s just marketing, anyway. Stock trucks are garbage offroad.
I’ve heard the phrase “pavement princess” used for such vehicles
I’ve been using “emotional support vehicle” lately.
My buddy uses “gender affirming vehicle” all the time. 😆
Had to take the hitch off my little convertible. That motherfucker is a TRAP! You will never see it that low, never suspect it’s there, then your shin is bleeding out.
If I’ve learned anything from decades of D&D, the answer is always “rooftop leaps and then drop from above”. 🤌🏻
My shins broke just looking at that
My shins are already hurting by just looking at it.
Foot pursuit? This is clearly in America. They just gonna shoot your ass cuz the average cop wouldn’t even fit in a corridor that narrow.
Woah there, let’s not jump to conclusions! You can’t just assume the person they’re chasing is black.
So many tiny penises.
this is such a stupidly pathetic insult that really just pisses me off to no end when people say it. hell it’s not even an insult, it’s just stupid and always has been… might as well just make fun of people for skin colour and gender.
Those aren’t a choice. Driving a pavement princess 100% is.
They usually try to justify it with the loose excuse of hauling or towing things, that they do maybe twice a year. It’s pathetic.
The ones that actually get used regularly for their design are obvious, because they’re beat up from use. And from my experience, they also tend to be the ones that don’t park like this. Likely because backing in means you can’t actually load anything in the bed.
What does any of that have to do with using “tiny penis” as an insult? The issue the other user has is with the insult itself.
When I was working a Lowe’s I had loads of princesses rolling through with monster trailers, hauling tons of rock and lumber.
I think it’s fine for people to get a truck cause they like how it looks
I think its moronic to drive something that is meant for work and is never used for it. Also, they are far heavier than cars, use more fuel, take up more space and are lethal for pedestrians in an accident.
Maybe I should walk around in a suit made of outward pointing knives because it looks cool.
All of them are so proud of their back-in parking skills thinking that space is for them. Meanwhile handicapped and children have to walk in the way of them, ironically dodging the same trucks that are so tall that they can’t be seen
This happens where I live and I keep wondering how crazy I would be to complain about it. The parking spots aren’t long enough for trucks, so they back in and completely cover the sidewalk. I need to use mobility devices to get around and usually have to fight my way through the grass because there isn’t enough room for my walker. I’m not looking forward to this fight when snow is on the ground
Make a habit of removing their tow hitches so you can get past.
As much as I love this idea, especially the suggestion to place it like a parking ticket, I have less dexterity in my hands than I do in my legs lol
Maybe I need to befriend a few neighborhood urchins xD
Note, do not steal them, just lay them on the ground under the truck so they can retrieve it. Reality is that they almost certainly won’t look at all before leaving and never know where it went.
Tuck it under the windshield wiper like a parking ticket.
Nah that’s extra effort that shouldn’t be required, especially for anyone with mobility issues. Leaving it in is just asking for it to be stolen anyway. Just put it on the ground right under. Not stolen, just moved out of the way, and they’ll inevitably not check and leave it behind. Probably never even notice until they try to use it to tow something again.
I get it, but what’s the difference at that point? May as well just start collecting them. Once you get enough, sell em for scrap.
Or you could just take the pin. On the odd chance one of these clowns might actually tow something, the towbar would come out when they pull away.
The difference is effort. Just dropping it over the ground is the least effort to accomplish getting it out of the way to move by. And not going out of your way to put it someplace else. You aren’t committing a crime in the process by stealing anything. And they’re likely to not check and just leave it there anyway for a punishment later when they notice it missing.
Taking the pin out means it’s no longer secure, it could fall out on the highway, damaging an innocent vehicle following at a later date.
Yeah I think it’s time for an urbanism community here on Lemmy. I’ve been on the fence but I’m all for spreading more awareness that things like this are not normal.
