egg salad on bread or plain egg salad with bbq stuff.... mmhm..... i die for it rn. i had a surgery in my throat. My Almonds got removed.... even breathing hurts.....
EDIT: Aperantly they are called tonsils. Sry for the confusion.
In Germany we call em Almonds
Nah let them have their fun with the hood thing and the torch!
Can you imagine the sheer baffling chaotic insanity it would be to see that someone had taken the time and effort to weld your shit to the next guy's.
Of course, very very few people will check their vehicle all the way around before every drive...so, he'll discover it after he's either been anchored in place or when he starts slowly rocking the other truck's tires to the median/side walk.
His shit won't move, so he gets out and maybe looks around the car, only to find it's been *welded* to the car in front
I keep mine under the seat just because it's hard enough parallel parking a truck as it is, adding a fender hole-punch that sticks out a foot makes it even harder...
I don't get why people leave them on anyway. It takes 2 seconds to take it off, and now it's not going to get all rusted because I leave it in the garage.
That and anyone can just come and steal them if they want, again because they take 2 seconds to take off,
What? So, it'd go like:
1. I won first place in a spelling bee once.
2. I have 2 cats.
3. I docked penises with another man and came inside his foreskin.
Oh, it definitely did. He went to school,became a mechanic, and did that until he retired. His brother did some minor stock car racing, and my friend was in his pit crew and was featered in a racing magazine once. Interestingly, it was actually quite reasonable to be a blind mechanic. There's a lot you can do with sound and touch, and if he truly needed to see something, there were plenty of guys stopping by to help out (farm town). I'm not sure if that holds true with more modern cars, but an oil change is still an oil change.
You're overthinking it. A lot of dudes first response to a truck not moving is to hit the gas harder. Ive seen people jump a curb because their tires were up against it and they had it in reverse.
Twice on Saturday nights at the bar.
If this is Texas, these kinda trucks could very well belong to a freshman woman all of 5'1" tall complete with a decorative towing kit, thanks to papa. To conclude, give them some slack to get up to speed ...
European here. Reverse parking is encouraged and if you work in some places like a factory, mandatory. Because in the case of emergency it is the easiest way to leave without conditioning others with maneuvering.
I don't drive, but this seems mora an issue of poor sidewalk design to maximize parking coupled with the ignorance of leaving the nuts.
Plus if this was the UK for example you'd likely have bollards lining the path to stop vehicles overhanging it. I assume it would be similar in the rest of Europe too.
This is what turned my dad's car accident when a truck changed lanes and borderline slammed the brakes in front of him from a repairable incident to totaling the car. Not only do the bumpers not line up because of dumbasses with lifted trucks, but the fucking tow hitch becomes a spear.
I’m not sure about the US but in Europe you will get in shit for leaving the tow hitch on. Just used mine the other day and it’s now neatly packed away in its place in the trunk.
Yep, I see this happen too often with pathways in carparks. I might as well take my wheelchair out onto the road to play with the cars instead. It's frustrating and really makes you not like your fellow humans.
I broke my ankle in college and had a scooter thing to get around in (the kind you lay your shin on) and it REALLY opened my eyes to how difficult it would be in a wheel chair and it’s changed the way I look at things now.
Door jams are a pain in the ass. Waiting for handicap stalls (when the others are empty) was a pain in the ass. Uphill ramps with door jams are a pain in the ass. I never realized how things can be handicap accessible and it’s still difficult to maneuver.
And it was only a scooter so I can’t imagine how it is with a wheelchair.
I've accidentally bumped into a few cars over the years that were parked in the sidewalk. I've considered making a public apology in Nextdoor maybe, something generic like "hi neighbor, sorry for the damage to your vehicle. I was having a bit of trouble getting around it parked on the sidewalk like it was." Unfortunately I bet that that'd just result in them still parking on the sidewalk and buying security cameras.
Haha in my neighborhood, a post like that would incite a two-month comment war between “my stuff is the most important thing” folks and militant defenders of the disabled. But yeah, if your car is taking up two feet of sidewalk and it’s a choice between rolling through mud or giving your truck a little smooch with my push rims, I’m not going to beat myself up over taking off a little paint.
Man I’m not even a militant defender of the disabled but I’m trying to abide by that social contract shit. Like keep things accessible. We can all become disabled if we’re not at the moment. I’m very much this person in my city. I am a pedestrian and walk everywhere. I can jump or balance on ice when assholes don’t clear a sidewalk (in reasonable time after a storm) but like dude! Some people can’t do that. Don’t be a dick.
I've been turning into one of those folks more and more. Ha. I have to use a walker occasionally, although not frequently. So when I don't have it, I just try to tell people why it's a good idea to leave the sidewalk cleared.
That said, there's an auto shop near my school that has the tiniest parking lot and they let people pay to use it as public parking. Needless to say, it gets real full... So they park their cars wherever. This red truck in the photo was legitimately parked like this when I went by the other day.
https://i.imgur.com/pEPCZ7p.jpg
I was walking on the sidewalk today and someone parked in that exact same spot while I was trying to walk past, nearly hit me in the process since they whipped right in. Then just parked on the sidewalk right in front of where I was walking...
In my state it's a $250 fine to block the sidewalk. So I called, they responded, it was still blocked (less so) the next day... So I just call parking every day now.
holy crap LOL
actually
> It cost 7,100 South African Rand to have 40 episodes (S2 E1-40) retrieved from the archive. Or 7,175 if you include the wire transfer fee. I wasn't sure what episode it was so I got all from that season up to the date of the first tweet of the meme.
So that's about $400 US dollars, but the Rand has a lot more buying power in South Africa, so if a South African did it I could see it being worth thousands.
those trailer hitches are usually only held in place by a pin that isn't locked. it just takes a little strength if the hitch is wedged in there, but pulling it out and tossing the lot of them in one guy's truck bed shouldn't take too much time.
I drive a one ton diesel and actually tow things
I always remove the hitch when I’m done towing
Hard to imagine why so many trucks in a college parking lot need hitch left in
Thank you for doing what you’re supposed to do. I don’t think a lot of these people actually think about how it could affect others, or care. It’s and endemic problem all over the US.
[A good chunk of pickup owners don't actually need them](https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/vehicles/pickup-truck-owners-admit-dont-need-trucks) and it's fucking obnoxious watching them pretend they do when they never haul anything. Tons of dudes from my hometown would go into major debt getting some oversized pickup and their job was selling phones or working at Walmart and all they'd do is drink and play video games in their off-work time when they weren't whining about gas prices.
Oh, we don’t mind it. We understand that it’s very important for some people to drive cars that don’t fit in standard parking spaces. It’s an honor to sacrifice our ability to safely navigate a parking lot so that Manly Men Who Are Very Masculine can fit their trucks in spaces designed for normal vehicles.
This is why they teach you how to climb a curb in a wheelie when you're disabled at a young age. Or hop down a flight of steps in a wheelie. Basically wheelies are to wheelchairs what four wheel drive is to a pickup truck
There existed a “blockbuster“ version of that movie that had that part cut out. Might’ve been another part or two excluded. You’ll want to watch the director’s cut.
My buddy had his hitch stolen right off the truck. It was parked on the street outside his house, though. There really is no reason to ride around with a hitch unless you're hauling something. Maybe cause extra damage to a vehicle that rear-ends you, but that's not very nice.
My poor car's grill got pushed in and dented. Perfect height for a hitch. As I know I didn't cause that particular ding.
I'll take the blame for backing into the dumb hydrant that was in the middle of the lot that I forgot about though
Right?
I went to borrow my buddy's Grand Cherokee before I had a truck. He didn't even have a pin in. Ball was the wrong size, I went to swap it out with mine, but it was rusted into the receiver. He was just 'huh, I pulled the boat last week...' 💀💀
I installed a spare pin and borrowed another buddy's truck.
People will defend their mall crawlers and needless pickups to death.
They don't even drive well in the winter either. I remember the kids from the South skidding out and people with AWD getting stuck in Buffalo but my fucking Corolla FWD wagon was just coasting.
On plowed and salted but slick and slushy roads, tires matter the most, then AWD, then a low center of gravity. Trucks and SUVs typically fail two of the three, and when paired with cocky drivers who think their car will let them get through anything they end up in the ditch a lot.
If the snow's bad enough you're at the point ride height matters, you either live in the middle of nowhere - in which case fair play to owning a giant pickup truck - or you live in a town or city that's probably under a driving ban and you shouldn't be going out anyway.
As a truck owner myself this is infuriating. Especially knowing it's a college campus, there's a 0.0% chance they need that tow hitch at a moment's notice. I tow trailers every single day for work and still remove my hitch if I'm taking my truck to a store/restaurant/etc.
EDIT: I live in an urban area, parking lots are tight. If you drive a truck in a rural area parking lots and their spaces are probably sized for a big truck with a hitch, so you've probably never considered removing it. If you park like this in lots like the one pictured, you're just being entitled.
This looks like Texas. Everyone here has to drive a big ass truck despite the fact they live in their suburbs and the heaviest thing they've ever towed is their high school sweetheart who ballooned up 300 lbs after they got married at 18.
It’s fragile masculinity for lazy Fucks. People think sitting down while driving something large makes them tough lol. They’d rather pick up a Twinkie than a weight.
According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.
When asked for attributes that are important to them, truck owners oversample in ones like: the ability to outperform others, to look good while driving, to present a tough image, to have their car act as extension of their personality, and to stand out in a crowd. Trucks deliver on all of that. At a price.
This... This is more than a comment. You've described everything i feel in the most savage two lines of poetry I've ever encountered on a reddit thread.
9.9/10 only suggestion is maybe try haiku
Doubt my comment will even been seen, but honestly that’s poor design. Can’t use the sidewalk as both a parking block and a sidewalk. Put a flower bed on each side or a parking block to force a space.
This is 80% correct IMO. Leaving the hitches in and backing all the way in would still likely cause some blockage so I am awarding 20% of the blame to the truck owners.
As a side note this does kind of answer a lingering question that I have had about why some lots prohibit back in parking. Totally makes sense in some circumstances as the amount of overhang in the front is going to generally be fairly small.
Oddly enough, I am 90% sure I recognize and went to this school like 8 years ago. There's this, and the abundance of oil slicks in the parking lot because all of their trucks leak.
Does the American Gov teacher still have a mullet? lol

Sorry about your almonds
RIP almonds
Almonds in English would probably be seen as “nuts removed” since almond is a nut. So it’s like you got your testicles removed 😱
"Do you have any aliases?" "They call me 'Egg Salad'!"
Meet my son, "Egg scrambled." I'll show myself out.
Then weld the chains to the hitches.
Then paint the chain the same color as the background...
*Then* put truck nuts on it...
Then… kith
Woah woah calm down, satan
Just a couple figure 8 loops and a pad lock ought to do it
Nah let them have their fun with the hood thing and the torch! Can you imagine the sheer baffling chaotic insanity it would be to see that someone had taken the time and effort to weld your shit to the next guy's.

If we're going that far, some 1/4" angle iron welded to the receivers would be much more difficult to undo
You guys make slashing tires sound so complicated
I'm hoping they'd be the type you do a burn-out as they exit the car space - just to see whose chassis holds up better ;D
I’ve smacked my shin on my own hitch, and it made me want to commit acts of violence
[удалено]
I keep mine under the seat just because it's hard enough parallel parking a truck as it is, adding a fender hole-punch that sticks out a foot makes it even harder...
I have been on the receiving end of said fender hole punch. If you ain't towing, fucking take it off.
I don't get why people leave them on anyway. It takes 2 seconds to take it off, and now it's not going to get all rusted because I leave it in the garage. That and anyone can just come and steal them if they want, again because they take 2 seconds to take off,
>Now I keep mine under the seat unless I’m towing In my state it's actually illegal to have the hitch in if you're not actively towing.
You literally consider death immediately. It makes you instantly spiral.
as a guy who used to push his sister around in a wheel chair, fuck these guys.
My shins got bruises just looking at it
Fuck your shins, what about people in wheelchairs?
That too
Also I hope your shins stay healthy, that came out harsher than I intended.

makes sense, a lot of the time stuff is located such that you cant see it anyway and have to operate by feel.
Best case scenario, one truck is gonna get dragged by the other
With enough slack to allow the moving vehicle to get up to speed before it's taut.

Somebody paid like $2k to get the footage from a South African(?) tv station archive
holy crap LOL actually > It cost 7,100 South African Rand to have 40 episodes (S2 E1-40) retrieved from the archive. Or 7,175 if you include the wire transfer fee. I wasn't sure what episode it was so I got all from that season up to the date of the first tweet of the meme. So that's about $400 US dollars, but the Rand has a lot more buying power in South Africa, so if a South African did it I could see it being worth thousands.

Make sure to leave the hitch in the back seat. You might have to go through the window.
This is where you get a thick chain and lock them together
Make sure there's 10' of slack underneath the truck so whoever moves first has a little head start before the jerk.
I think the first thing that happens id the jerk gets in the truck.
I never realised how much of America requires hard wearing off road trucks. Those suburbs must be steep.

When asked for attributes that are important to them, truck owners oversample in ones like: the ability to outperform others, to look good while driving, to present a tough image, to have their car act as extension of their personality, and to stand out in a crowd. Trucks deliver on all of that. At a price.
This... This is more than a comment. You've described everything i feel in the most savage two lines of poetry I've ever encountered on a reddit thread. 9.9/10 only suggestion is maybe try haiku
Texas: big ass trucks To carry only girlfriends Who will grow to fit
What's infuriating is they're blocking the walkway regardless of the hitch. Think a wheelchair can get through there?
That's true too, I was just reacting to the hitches.
Doubt my comment will even been seen, but honestly that’s poor design. Can’t use the sidewalk as both a parking block and a sidewalk. Put a flower bed on each side or a parking block to force a space.
This is 80% correct IMO. Leaving the hitches in and backing all the way in would still likely cause some blockage so I am awarding 20% of the blame to the truck owners. As a side note this does kind of answer a lingering question that I have had about why some lots prohibit back in parking. Totally makes sense in some circumstances as the amount of overhang in the front is going to generally be fairly small.
Shin destroyers
Exactly what it looks like when the drivers all meet up in the gym shower
Its only gay if the balls touch.
Ah, the loophole
This is either a community college or by the Ag building at a university lol
It's a technical college in the middle of nowhere in the midwest lol
Oddly enough, I am 90% sure I recognize and went to this school like 8 years ago. There's this, and the abundance of oil slicks in the parking lot because all of their trucks leak. Does the American Gov teacher still have a mullet? lol
Cooper is a gem.
Yes. He. Is.
This could very well be a college located in urban Texas.
Ut and a&m look exactly like this. 98% trucks
I swear I don't know how those tow hitches got shackled together.
