Fuck Trucks πŸ–•

American pickup trucks; those gaudy, humungous, unnecessary, pedestrian-killing, environment destroyers. Fuck people who own these to feel "tough" and compensate.

Want to make an actual hassle for pricks like that? Go to your local car parts store, buy yourself a tire valve removal tool and leave it in your glove box for this occasion. It's a simple thing to use, take off the valve cap on a tire, insert the tool into the valve, unscrew, and bam all the air rushes out. Best part? The only way to fix it is to have that tool. you can't put air up the tire without that valve.

That would be worth flattening a tire. Causing all the commotion while illegally parked.

Slashing a tire is a property damage misdemeanor. Owning a tire valve tool, removing their valve cores and placing them on their hood is a criminal mischief fine tops and a great laugh.

Next time call the police to issue a ticket. It's illegal to park in a handy cap space without a handicap parking placard being shown.

We can't see if they do or do not have a placard hanging from the mirror. In theory they may need some extra door space to get out so taking the second spot would almost make sense, but that's what those dead zones between handicap spaces are for.

The guy hopped out, and walked into the pizza joint across the way. If he’s physically handicapped, he’s hiding it well.

A lot of people do have a placard even if the injury isn't visible or noticable at first.

Yeah, I wouldn't rush to make any judgements if someone should have a placard. We've got plenty of things to judge on as it is.
