    Anyone with a truck carrying giant flags. If you are in the US, you know what I mean.

      Yeah, these are often the people that grumble about women having rights while they crush beer cans in their heads. The supreme assholes are the ones driving $50k+ vehicles with a little black and white flag with a blue stripe. These are the creepy ass country club motherfuckers that own businesses and have racist agendas that actually affect people due to their high status in society.

      Yeah, I’m generalizing a lot here (aren’t we all?) but by and large those are dog whistle symbols for hatred.

        The “Don’t Tread On Me” flag placed by these entitled assholes is what always gets me. Bitch, no one has tread on you as much as you tread on everyone else.

          The FL government sells a “don’t tread on me” vanity plate. Somehow the irony of giving the government extra money to show what a rebel they are is lost on them. Smh

    • I’m conflicted by this because the other day, I saw one of these with LGBTQ+ flags and not the typical American, Mexican, Rattlesnake or Trump 2024 flags.

      Still, it was on a giant truck clearly not for working on a farm or hauling anything but ass and those giant flags are obnoxious no matter what they are signalling.

    Any cars really, cars have the power to turn any decent human being into soulless sociopath.

      And what’s more there is no model associated with not being driven by an asshole. And no one can prove me wrong 😄

      To quote George Carlin "ever notice how anyone driving slowly than you is an idiot? And ever notice how anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC? It’s a wonder how we can get anywhere at all with all these idiots and maniacs driving around. "

    This and big coal rolling, loud ass trucks.

    Pick up trucks I get. I’m a tradesman.

    But some trucks are absolutely massive, and more often than not MUCH more than the driver needs, and the coal rolling and loudness is just obnoxious af.

    Cops still take it tho. Head on a swivel for those shills.

      If it has giant tow mirrors and is lifted it’s 1000% driven by an asshole who tailgates in the right lane

      My friend and I bought trucks around the same time. Mine is a simple tradesman Ram, no bells and whistles, primarily for moving and hauling stuff that can’t fit in my wife’s sedan.

      I’m a pretty passive driver. Live and let live, y’know?

      My friend had a similar personality when he first got his Tundra (of course with all the extras he can afford). Then he goes and spends $10,000 on a lift, winch, and floodlights. Now he’s like a different person. He drives super aggressively, whipping round corners, weaving through traffic going 20mph over on the highway. He was driving me through some quiet neighborhood the other day and nearly mowed over a cyclist. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he shrugged and said “if she’s gonna ride a bike in the street, she’s gotta look out for trucks. Not my fault if she doesn’t see me”

      TL;DR - truck drivers are fine, a truck is a tool like any other vehicle. Lifting your truck turns you into a redneck scumbag overnight though apparently.

    Anything that makes VRROOOOOOM VROOOOOM noises when it doesn’t need to is almost certainly driven by an asshole.
