edit: another friend of ours just bought a red F150 Platinum. His previous car was a Lexus LSwhatever. He likes the F150 more than the Lexus.

wtf, cant park your work truck in your driveway in your home? What if you dont have a garage?

one of my service guys has an HOA rule making him have to park his work truck in his garage or in a designated parking lot near the community hub. too far for unattended tools to sit, so he has the only service body fully loaded truck without a rack on it. we had to work out a temporary rack for carrying ladders and conduits.

calling bartman

lol, are you secretly Indian inside? We have a family friend who is a civil engineer and thus goes out to construction sites and what not. So, he bought a Tundra and his in-laws made him trade it in for a Sequoia because they said trucks are for rednecks.

That shit made me mad. He was actually buying a truck to use it.

one of the civil engineers i work with regularly rides his ducati to pretty much every site we work on. even before the roads are there. his other vehicle is an older civic/ accord thing. he has had to park above and jike all his crap in on a few sites, but for the most part it hasnt mattered much. it beat the hell out of my intrepid tho. tore up the tires also.
 
I wish my small city would pass something that prohibited trucks from parking on the curb in residential areas.

Two jackasses a few streets down from me park their F350s exactly across the street from each other. Leaves a gap just barely wide enough to fit a single car through. This is a major through street in the area, and it causes a lot of bottlenecks. Both driveways sit empty.

In the meantime, I've taken to getting my hand nice and soaked from my morning run ball sweat and smearing it on the door handle of one of them as I run by. The black one was the winner this morning, I'll get the white one tomorrow.

If I saw you doing that to my vehicle, it might be a while before you run again.

I've seen the owners. They couldn't run 10 yards, let alone 10 miles. Typical UGA alum.

Come at me bro! LOL

EDIT: I don't have anything against trucks per se, but these guys have to be doing this shit on purpose. Empty driveways, and the lots aren't exactly small. To get them lined up exactly across the street from each other every single night just screams intentional. Staggering them 20 feet down either curb would eliminate the bottleneck they cause.

Have you bothered to ask them to park elsewhere? Or did your college not teach you to think?

Yup. I mentioned it to one of them when I saw them in the neighborhood. Blank stare. I think it was processing the "it's my god-given right to park on the street" bit.

You guys really get worked up over ball sweat, huh? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I don't give a fuck about your ball sweat, but don't touch my car. And doesn't sweat damage paint? As I said, you're a dick.

If you didn't catch it above, read my edit.

I don't feel they're oblivious to it, from all signs it's intentional. They probably think it's amusing, but it's not. It creates a pain in the ass situation where instead of simply being able to drive down the street you have to stop and negotiate with the person on the other side of this Ford roadblock to determine who's going to squeeze through first.

Am I a dick? Sure. Does sweat damage paint? No.

But hey, just to show what a great guy I am I'll leave notes on each car tomorrow morning (pre-run, so ball sweat free!) explaining this and asking them to stagger their parking. What's the over/under on their behavior changing?
 
get a bigger truck than them
