4x4 Off-Road
Has never seen anything but paved roads its entire life.
I’ve heard the phrase “pavement princess” used for such vehicles
I’ve been using “emotional support vehicle” lately.
My buddy uses “gender affirming vehicle” all the time. 😆
I’ve also heard “mall terrain vehicle”
I call folks who drive them “rural identifying persons”
It’s just marketing, anyway. Stock trucks are garbage offroad.
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.
I had an uncle that would quite literally do that and throw the hitch(es) into the bed of the truck every single time he walked through a parking lot. If he had to do that to multiple trucks before getting to the store so be it.
Knew someone who deliberately left it out because they thought it would help mitigate someone nudging into their backend.
To their credit, it actually worked once, someone got a hitch sized hole in their front bumper for a low speed collision.
On the other hand, this person also kept banging their own shin on their tow hitch… But they thought it was worth it anyway…
I got a hitch sized hole in my bumper because some asshole backed into my parked car and drove off.
To this person’s credit, they always seemed to take backing up seriously and slowly and kept quite a distance from everyone… also very carefully parked as straight as possible, and never over any of the lines. Still since they only tow about once a week, it’s kind of silly to have that hitch in all the time.
Unlike another colleague who doesn’t have a tow hitch, but always pushes his luck and has on occasion given a nudge to a parked car with his pickup, and never parks straight and usually parks over the middle lines…
Or toss it in through the back window
There’s got to be some meth-head scrappers that need this information.
Not to mention anyone in a wheelchair can just get fucked walking around these minefields
This picture irritates me so much
My shins are already hurting by just looking at it.
Had to take the hitch off my little convertible. That motherfucker is a TRAP! You will never see it that low, never suspect it’s there, then your shin is bleeding out.
easy way to solve this.
100 feet of chain, and 30 locks.

How are none of these in their spaces?
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
I was at a family party where this guy with the largest pickup I’d ever seen constantly complained about how expensive gas was and how it was Biden’s fault. It quickly became apparent that he only drove the thing the hour drive back and forth from his office job. Truck looked like new despite being a couple years old, save for highway tire wear.
Why on earth does he think we should all subsidize his absurd and impractical vehicle’s fuel? And I’m sure he complains about entitled people on welfare.
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.)
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.
If I’ve learned anything from decades of D&D, the answer is always “rooftop leaps and then drop from above”. 🤌🏻
Tie them together!
So many tiny penises.
this is such a stupidly pathetic insult that really just pisses me off to no end when people say it. hell it’s not even an insult, it’s just stupid and always has been… might as well just make fun of people for skin colour and gender.
Those aren’t a choice. Driving a pavement princess 100% is.
They usually try to justify it with the loose excuse of hauling or towing things, that they do maybe twice a year. It’s pathetic.
The ones that actually get used regularly for their design are obvious, because they’re beat up from use. And from my experience, they also tend to be the ones that don’t park like this. Likely because backing in means you can’t actually load anything in the bed.
I don’t give a damn about the trucks/drivers. Insult them all you want. don’t use body parts as insults. it’s no different then using skin color, or saying someone is a lesser human because they have small tits or if their balding they are a weak human…
they are bad insults that make innocent people feel inferior for no reason.
When I was working a Lowe’s I had loads of princesses rolling through with monster trailers, hauling tons of rock and lumber.
I think it’s fine for people to get a truck cause they like how it looks
I think its moronic to drive something that is meant for work and is never used for it. Also, they are far heavier than cars, use more fuel, take up more space and are lethal for pedestrians in an accident.
Maybe I should walk around in a suit made of outward pointing knives because it looks cool.
It was always about making fun of insecure masculinity, which is a very outsized problem in our current moment. But I do think you’re right and I’ll start calling out that instead. ✌️
Damn you got triggered lol
If you get this upset by everything you hear and don’t like online, you’re in for a rough life bud.
I’m halfway done life. dosoent mean you can’t talk about things that you feel society should stop doing.
Yeah, but of all the things to take a stand on and put energy into, this? Really?
People are starving, kids are homeless, but this is your stance against society?
Imagine having to rely on a wheelchair here.
My shins broke just looking at that
This is so ridiculous
Alright, which Deregulated Red Run Oblast is this?
What in the GPT is going on with the hitches in the distance?
Lifted trucks have to have extensions to lower the balls so they hang the right height for trailers.
Apparently a couple of them fell in love.
When a truck and another truck love each other very much…
And the close ones. What is with the double ended tow ball?
There are different hitch ball sizes. I’ve got one lying around that has 3 ends.
The ones in the back need extensions to the ground to match their ridiculous lift kits, otherwise the trailer would tip ass backwards.
I had suspicions when I say the asphalt or whatever it’s called…way too flat and prestige for a parking lot. looks very fake
Y’all and your AI witch hunt are ridiculous. Just admit that you’re easily fooled, can’t tell the difference.
Lol. I encourage you to zoom in and look at the details.
I don’t see any “ai-looking” things in this pic. Each hitch belongs to a truck. There are all sorts of shapes, but walk through the average Walmart parking lot and you’ll see them all.
- The nearest two hitches are pixel-perfect square to the camera.
- The tailpipe on the first truck on the right melts into a smudge.
- There is almost no detail in the concrete even though all the trucks are in sharp focus.
- All shadows have an ethereal quality and the light seems to have an inconsistent directionality.
- The ball on the white truck melts into the white line behind it.
- The green truck behind the white truck has a fender that seems to melt into a wheel.
- The box on the orange truck on the left seems to be about 3’ deep.
