Foot pursuit through a minefield

What's with all the free trailer hitches?

Yep.
My "toy truck" (It's a small truck, with a small engine) now looks like hell, but it's 20 years old and has been used as a truck.
For years it looked great, because I used a trailer for everything, because it's just easier. Bed was used for small hauls of stuff you wouldn't want in a car: paint, bags of mulch/sand/gravel, etc. Or needed a quick pickup and didn't want to go hookup a trailer.
LOL, my 2004 F150 is a fucking wreck. Like the Millennium Falcon, looks like dog shit, runs like a top.
But yeah, if I get another truck, everything possible is going on my crappy trailer.

Good man.
I do the same, but with bicycle lights that people have left on. I know how annoying it is to find your battery empty.
Don't do that.
Flashing tail light batteries last for many hours.
Riders often leave them on just so you dont need to remember to turn them on again when you depart.
Even if the battery did go flat, you're not stranded.
I know you mean well but it might not be appreciated as much as you think.

How are none of these in their spaces?
Yeah i was going to point this out. Its not just the hitches. All of these assholes have backed in, and deliberately gone in further than the boundary of the bay to minimise how far their nose overhangs the other end.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Hours is enough to empty them. If I see them parked in front of our house late in the evening, I don't think they're going to go out anymore today. It's far more likely that they forgot to turn them off than that they intentionally kept them on.
Fortunately, they rarely flash, but burn continuously. I think the flashing ones are illegal here, and they can be super annoying.

My first thought. I couldn't imagine the foot pursuit, but I could imagine opening the amazon trailer hitch shop.

People who drive trucks who don't work in a profession that incentivizes them can all go to hell.

My first thought as well. Doubt any of these have locks. I don’t understand leaving it on. I travel on an RV and remove my hitch and store it as soon as the RV is disconnected.

I wouldn't dare
This is not legal advice. I am not a lawyer.

Hate those fucken assholes. Pavement princess driving motherfuckers.
It literally takes less than 30 seconds to bend down, pull the cotter clip, pull the pin, and toss the hitch end in the bed. Saves the shins and kneecaps of yourself and everyone else.
Not to mention anyone in a wheelchair can just get fucked walking around these minefields

Fair enough I guess.
Bike lights are intended to be super annoying to the point of being obnoxious here. They need to be bright and flashy enough for oblivious drivers to actually notice you.

If this is the same picture I saw years ago. This is from a farm college. So they kinda need the toe hooks.
This is what every Sunday grocery trip looks like in Montana

Imagine having to rely on a wheelchair here.

My first hitch came with and got stolen within a 3 days of having it.

Because it’s literally impossible for these assholes to fit their unnecessary behemoths into a real parking spot. The same people who own these complain about parking spots being small, parking garage ceilings being too low, and gas being too expensive. They act like it’s society’s fault. Fucking chuds
It's not, these guys just suck and they don't have the first clue how to actually operate their vehicles. I can fit my full sized truck into spaces just fine when I have occasion to drive it. They all think they're hot shit for having back-in parking "skills," too, while utterly failing to comprehend that all they've accomplished here is making it impossible to load anything into the bed. You know, like what trucks are for.
(Postscript: So obviously, they're not planning on putting anything in the back. Which means they could have just as well all showed up on Vespas.)

wrote last edited by [email protected]I had enough spacial awareness not to block a walkway when I towed but the reason to leave it on is because it can protect your car.
Twice I had someone fail to break, and slam into the back of my car.
Twice my car was fine, and twice the dickhead on the phone ended up with a tow hitch sized hole in the front of their car.
