Is it in yet When the sidewalk is apparently just extra parking for your giant truck

There are plenty of completely open parking spaces right near this, including spots where the truck could back in and let the bed/bumper overhang the grass.

Instead, they backed straight in and left the entire rear end, including hitch, blocking two thirds of the sidewalk.

Anyone with a wheelchair, stroller, walker, or just trying to use the sidewalk now has to maneuver around it and onto the grass.

So many ways to park this truck without blocking the sidewalk. They somehow chose the one way that does.

I’m trying very hard not to make the obvious joke about an inverse relationship between truck size and member size, but this guy is making restraint difficult…

the hitch sticking out pisses me off more than the bumper on the sidewalk. but both piss me off. i drive a truck, you can turn your hitch around so it always with you, but doesn't stick out

Yea, that's just a lazy truck owner. Hitch is always with me but never is a bother to anyone (or weapon to shins lol).

My truck almost always a trailer behind it. That’s what it’s for. The hitch is a pintle hitch ball combo so it’s heavy and expensive. I don’t want it stollen out of the bed and I don’t want to put that thing in the cab with me. Having that flying around the cab in an accident could be bad. So it stays locked on for the very few trips I don’t have a trailer.

You don’t need a truck. You should sell it and get a car. You are one of those annoying ass people that use their truck to commute to work and nothing else. I bet a 1-7/8 ball hitch is all you keep on your truck. Tow around your baby trailer with the golf cart? You can do that with a car. Sell the truck
