ProTip: you can easily deflate a car's tires by placing a small pebble in the valve cap before screwing it back on

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I used to condone this, but people are stupid and can drive on the flat tire until it explodes, potentially putting other peoples lives at risk.

Not worth it for some petty revenge.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (6 children)

That's why you gotta do all four.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Can take hours to fully deflate, they could be on the Highway home by the time they go flat enough to be noticeable.

Hmmm you seem to know a little too much about this lol

Well, that guy is clearly a massive prick, but let's also talk about how fucking ugly that truck is. I don't know when everyone decided that land yacht pickup trucks were the bees knees, but they're not. They're just dumb and so. goddamn. ugly.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean their Emotiional Support Truck.

Also partly responsible for an increase in pedestrian fatalities.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Just check the bed. If there’s a liner, chances are the truck is needed. If it’s clean, it’s a vanity truck.

I own a 350 and am very aware of just how big this truck is. But I do need the pulling power for work related things. I’ve also used it to help people that have broken down.

There is a lot of anger, frustration, and unacknowledged insecurity going into vehicle purchases in the US.

For real dude, there's no decent sized mid sized pickups anymore. I drove my '99 dodge Dakota forever and loved the size! It even had a V8 compared to most of the newer land yachts with 4 bangers and v6s.

I don't need a block on wheels, I just need a smaller pickup because I camp and haul shit enough to justify needing one vs a car or suv.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

So, I don't know if it's still an issue but I know the whole land yacht thing started because of emissions standards. The US used to (they might still) set emissions standards based on wheel base rather than vehicle type. The larger the wheel base the looser the emissions standards. The thought was that vehicles that needed a larger wheelbase like large work trucks would always have higher emissions so they wanted to take that into account. But what actually happened is manufacturers just started making larger and larger vehicles to take advantage of the more lax emissions standards.

I think the wheelbase based emissions standards thing has been fixed now, but I don't know where I heard that so it might even still be a thing.

Don't be too hard on them, maybe this was all that was available when they pulled up.

I don’t actually mind this IF the person parks in the back of the lot. I get that they don’t want their precious hot wheels monster truck to get dinged, but as long as they park in the back of the lot where there’s no other cars, it’s fine. However, this person is clearly an asshole as there’s handicapped spots next to them, so they’re right up front taking spaces. It should be legal to vandalize their vehicle if a person does this.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My favorite thing is to just leave a note that says, "I'm sorry about the scratch."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

2nd option: "I saw who broke into your car. Call me at (leave fake #)"

In the old days, a friend of mine would carry some paper(?) stickers(?) (labels?) that said something like "I park like an asshole" and superglue it to one of the windows of someone parked like this.

If you wanted to be nicer, you could get some proper pre-printed stickers (most online print/sticker shops should have them) and place them. Wouldn't cause any damage but would maybe make them think about it a little bit.

I also saw a post recently where someone replaced all the tire valve caps with bright orange or pink little dick shaped caps.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I knew a guy that had a roll of custom-printed "I park like a jackass" stickers. They weren't very large -- I think they were originaly labels for folders or something.

But they were on tamper-proof stickers, the kind that were metalic and broke into a bunch of tiny pieces when you tried to peel them off.

He'd slap two or three of them on the driver's side windshield and window out of the main line of sight, but you couldn't miss them when driving.

They're a pain in the ass to get off. I know, because he put one on my car that said, "I lick sweaty ballsacks".

Holy shit I just found penis tire caps on AliExpress, definitely buying some lol

Edit: I realized I don’t have the courage to actually do this to someone in public and risk getting caught, so I didn’t end up buying any, but they are readily available from your preferred discount app if anyone else wants to

Four of the best parking spots, too, judging by the handicap spaces nearby.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's what gets me on these things. If you want to be a dick and make sure your car isn't hit go park or in the boonis! Nobody goes out there, don't have to worry about carts, take as many spots as you want! Shoot for a record of you want try to get 6! But why tf are you doing it in close parking spots?

A local business has any vehicle that does this towed by his cousins tow company. That company is 3 towns over about 50 miles. Guy has signs everywhere that warns anyone doing it. He still gets one or two a week.

Trucks are generally excessive for most people anyways, them taking up 4 spots only compliments their mentality.

This is when you put a small pebble under each of the tire valve caps and screw them down tight enough to depress the spring, open the valve, and let the air out all of the tires

Protip: pepper spray on door handles is a great way to sabotage a vehicle without damaging it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

My move lately has been to stand their windshield wipers up. You're not doing anything criminally damaging to their vehicle, but in my experience, anyone this self-important will be really bothered by the thought of some random person putting their dirty hands on their precious baby.

The driver is a very wide load and needs the space.
