Odd sentence, ain’t it, but also like half the reasoning why people keep buying ever bigger cars and trucks.

The other half is “some other schmuck thinking this will snuff me out”, which, fair, but how do you not arrive at the conclusion the eternal arms race of weight and height with cars is like, super bad?

    I don’t get too mad when some random car blocks a crosswalk or whatever I’m walking across but when it’s some giant stupid truck that has never left a paved road? Oh man I let em have it. These people are very easy to emasculate. And their comebacks are so weak.

      What drives me inSANE is when I’m trying to go into a parking lot from a frontage road and they’re there waiting to turn out and their giant tank truck blocks the entire fucking thing bc those inlets weren’t designed for those things

      My favorite part of American road design is that it’s usually impossible to get good visibility on the oncoming lane without pulling into the crosswalk. Especially if there’s street parking or you’re next to a giant truck.
