Anyone with a truck carrying giant flags. If you are in the US, you know what I mean.
Yeah, these are often the people that grumble about women having rights while they crush beer cans in their heads. The supreme assholes are the ones driving $50k+ vehicles with a little black and white flag with a blue stripe. These are the creepy ass country club motherfuckers that own businesses and have racist agendas that actually affect people due to their high status in society.
Yeah, I’m generalizing a lot here (aren’t we all?) but by and large those are dog whistle symbols for hatred.
The “Don’t Tread On Me” flag placed by these entitled assholes is what always gets me. Bitch, no one has tread on you as much as you tread on everyone else.
The FL government sells a “don’t tread on me” vanity plate. Somehow the irony of giving the government extra money to show what a rebel they are is lost on them. Smh
They’re in Canada, too.
Not one of our best exports
We breed our own here, too, unfortunately
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.
Anyone with a truck that doesn’t own a farm or is a contractor.

This and big coal rolling, loud ass trucks.
Pick up trucks I get. I’m a tradesman.
But some trucks are absolutely massive, and more often than not MUCH more than the driver needs, and the coal rolling and loudness is just obnoxious af.
Cops still take it tho. Head on a swivel for those shills.
If it has giant tow mirrors and is lifted it’s 1000% driven by an asshole who tailgates in the right lane
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.
100x if it’s squat… Squated?
It’s so dumb like Fucking whhhyyyy
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.
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.)
(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.
I live in a Dutch city and there’s like 3 people here with dumbass cars like dode rams and everytime I see them the only thing I can think is damn you are an asshole. Those cars are ridiculous
These huge vehicles (I can’t call them cars anymore) also really don’t even fit our roads. Do these people only intend to use their cars on the freeway?
They often also don‘t fit on European parking lots.
They might just be Americans. Oh wait…
Totally true, I always thought that would be the case but there really are studies that confirm this.
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?
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).
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?

Yeah time to buy a rifle and shoot you in the head because it makes everyone that is not an asshole and you safer…ever considered that?

“I do not care if it makes other less safe”
So after you have stated that you are literally an anti social sociopath you ask how permanently removing you from societly would be good for everyone else. Ok. I put this as blunt as possible so it is easy to understand, but obviously you need coloured pictures and a helper?
Sure, but not caring that you are the problem makes you an asshole, right? That was the original question. So the point stands.

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.
Not sure that makes any difference really. As I said, the actually difference between my (admittedly mini) SUV and its corresponding saloon/hatchback is a few cm at most. Also, they all meet the same safety standards.
The difference between a proper car (BMW, Renault, etc) and a crap one (Dacia, Hyundai, etc) will make more difference than whether it is an SUV or a saloon. In either case, if the car was is newer than ~2000 it will be infinitely safer than what our parents shoved us into anyway.
Where I live an SUV is a must or everybody will bully you in the road. Public transportation drivers are just bad people here.
Tesla’s have become the new BMW drivers from my experience as of late.
Strangely… I don’t think it’s the fault of the driver (well, they still picked the car)… The lane assist FSD autobraking is all fucking awful.
Next time you see one get in front of it about 100 yards ahead and tap the brakes… Don’t brake, just flash the tail lights… The Tesla will slow down every time.
They’re terrible cars for terrible people I guess.
deleted by creator
Well… Yes… The other self driving systems have fixed those problems already.
Next time pick a manufacturer that cares about it’s developers.
How would you even be able to tell how much they care about their developers, unless they make the new for bad working conditions? Not defending tesla, just not sure if any manufacturer actually cares about their developers.
Edit: Tesla sucks, but Musk is also really bad at staying out of the news. Every corporation is driven by profit, and most billionaires are better at hiding scandals than Elon Musk.
This is the most accurate thing I’ve read all week
Yes! I think the original response is the most accurate.
Anything that looks like it just pulled off the battlefield. Like G Wagons and Hummers.
I’ve never seen a dirty G Wagon or Hummer, so I’m not sure what you’re taking about.
Any cars really, cars have the power to turn any decent human being into soulless sociopath.
And what’s more there is no model associated with not being driven by an asshole. And no one can prove me wrong 😄
To quote George Carlin "ever notice how anyone driving slowly than you is an idiot? And ever notice how anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC? It’s a wonder how we can get anywhere at all with all these idiots and maniacs driving around. "
How can one gain your level of awareness?
Lifted truck rolling coal is 100% an asshole.
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 .
Anything that makes VRROOOOOOM VROOOOOM noises when it doesn’t need to is almost certainly driven by an asshole.
Idiots on motorcycles who rev in neighborhoods and parking lots are some of the biggest assholes.
Tesla.
Tesla model 3 to be exact.
The iPhone of the car world.
Anything with truck nuts attached
Hold up. Truck nuts on a Prius or PT Cruiser is fucking hilarious
One of my friends has truck nuts on his 70’s moped, and it gets a laugh out of people wherever he goes.
For giggles I kinda want to put them on my minivan.
For a minivan, hilarious.
This is acceptable.
BMW. Eveytime. No blinker use either.
The BMW drivers have chilled out a little… It’s the audi driver these days that are complete tools.
This. Audi is the new BMW.
If you ever think you are doing a worthless job … think about the poor guy who installs the blinkers in a BMW factory.
They don’t pay the subscription fee.
They have blinkers ?!?
Only if you pay for the subscription fees.
This may just be confirmation bias but it seems like the majority of cars that pull out in front of me forcing me to break when they could have just waited 2 seconds for me to pass seem to be pickup trucks. Bonus points with last weeks one to do that which was also 1) driven by an elderly couple 2) swerveing all over the road, 3) driving 5 miles below speed limit, 4) had unsecured items in the back.
They do make mini-trucks which are much better for fuel mileage while having the benefits of a work truck, but like you said these people aren’t buying them with fuel mileage or practicality in mind.
this is a total tangent but historically the pedal that’s not your gas or clutch is a “brake” and if drivers are causing you or your car to “break” then you should definitely get their insurance details and they should go back to driving school 🙃
