Anyone with a truck carrying giant flags. If you are in the US, you know what I mean.
They’re in Canada, too.
Not one of our best exports
We breed our own here, too, unfortunately
Unfortunately creeping into Australia as well 😞
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.
Doesn’t help the 1.5C that’s for sure.
Anyone with a truck that doesn’t own a farm or is a contractor.

I guess no one else need to haul shit, huh.
These things are pretty bad at hauling shit.
Lifted trucks. My assurance goes up 10x if they have rims and tires meant for the road.
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.
Lifted Dodge Ram. They are more likely to be drunk too.
Welcome to my new segment, You Might Want to Know?
Dodge and Ram are two different brands and product lines. Rams are the trucks, and Dodge makes muscle vehicles.
But as to your point, you’re more right than you possibly know!
Knowledge is knowing that Ram is now itcs own brand. Wisdom is knowing only nerds who use federated social media would care. Understanding is appreciating all new content people provide.
Um, ackshually… I know, it’s pedantic 😩
I always assume they will tailgate me, and so far, I’ve never been wrong.
truck nutz. like. not new (which might be a gag. I did zip tie some onto a friends car once. But, uh, it was a prius, and they were dragging on the gorund.)
100x if it’s squat… Squated?
Or white paint
It’s so dumb like Fucking whhhyyyy
I think it’s lowered. Lifted and lowered
Squote
1000x if it has truck nuts
Extra points if the have wheel spacers
Only exception is the older Rangers S10s etc that weren’t insanely large. Anything Dodge in my experience is guaranteed.
agreed
I also assume they are absolutely God awful drivers.
Lifted truck rolling coal is 100% an asshole.
(EU) SUVs. Are you insecure and too stupid to drive? GET A CAR 20% larger in every dimension so you can piss off the whole world with your incompetence.
I live in a Dutch city and there’s like 3 people here with dumbass cars like dode rams and everytime I see them the only thing I can think is damn you are an asshole. Those cars are ridiculous
They might just be Americans. Oh wait…
These huge vehicles (I can’t call them cars anymore) also really don’t even fit our roads. Do these people only intend to use their cars on the freeway?
They often also don‘t fit on European parking lots.
Totally true, I always thought that would be the case but there really are studies that confirm this.
Or do you have a genuine reason that makes them advantageous?
I have an SUV because:
- my mother in law has mobility issues and struggles to get in/out of a saloon.
- my wife has neck issues and the higher driving position is better for her
- I like it (ok, that could make me an arsehole)
Truth is that mine (BMW X1) is at most 5cm bigger in any dimension, if at all, than the car on which it is based (Mini Cooper). The extra size is an optical illusion.
Well then just block all roads and murder people while you are at it. A ok.
Did you read my post?
Would it be correct to sum up your post as: my family is so handicapped they can only drives SUVs, i am an asshole and need to talk about my COMPACT SUV because people in my life do not talk about it enough?
That’s similar to why I hav an SUV. My dad has mobility issues and has a scooter to help him get around. The SUV is higher off the ground making it easier to get in and out while the larger cargo space can hold the scooter and anything else (groceries, luggage, etc).
Also - the mass and form of an SUV makes them a good option in terms of safety. Smaller vehicles get crunched like pop cans, and trucks get sandwiched by their own bed if you hit a solid object.
Making yourself safer by making everyone else less safe still seems like an asshole move to me?
Bumper height should have been regulated on city roads, then we wouldn’t have gotten this escalation. Work truck, sure. If you need one, you need one. But people who drive a massive gas guzzler to park it at the office and go up the elevator to work?

Sure, but not caring that you are the problem makes you an asshole, right? That was the original question. So the point stands.
deleted by creator
Yeah time to buy a rifle and shoot you in the head because it makes everyone that is not an asshole and you safer…ever considered that?

“I do not care if it makes other less safe”
So after you have stated that you are literally an anti social sociopath you ask how permanently removing you from societly would be good for everyone else. Ok. I put this as blunt as possible so it is easy to understand, but obviously you need coloured pictures and a helper?
Actually no. SUVs are great at murdering the drivers of other cars, they do not in fact protect you any better. Its just a big blow up dick for assholes.
Not sure that makes any difference really. As I said, the actually difference between my (admittedly mini) SUV and its corresponding saloon/hatchback is a few cm at most. Also, they all meet the same safety standards.
The difference between a proper car (BMW, Renault, etc) and a crap one (Dacia, Hyundai, etc) will make more difference than whether it is an SUV or a saloon. In either case, if the car was is newer than ~2000 it will be infinitely safer than what our parents shoved us into anyway.
Where I live an SUV is a must or everybody will bully you in the road. Public transportation drivers are just bad people here.
Anything that makes VRROOOOOOM VROOOOOM noises when it doesn’t need to is almost certainly driven by an asshole.
Ehh, or someone that can’t afford to fix their exhaust (been there)
There definitely aren’t that many people with broken exhausts.
You can always tell which people do it on purpose because they’ll make sporty modifications to like a Camry or other low-end, beat up car and act like they’re fast just because they’re loud.
There definitely aren’t that many people with broken exhausts.
It’s pretty common in areas that put down a lot of salt in the winter. Usually takes a handful of winters but the exhaust is often one of the first things to succumb to the rust.
It’s always the type of cars you get after the “need for speed” tutorial mission… 🙃

Yeah because some asshole thought he needed the cats more than I did 😮💨 and gave up not even half way.
meow
Idiots on motorcycles who rev in neighborhoods and parking lots are some of the biggest assholes.
Yes the giant ‘mufflers’ were bad enough, lately I’m seeing & hearing poorly tuned expensive sports cars. Mass incompetence or intentional noise maker? These thing are backfiring like crazy.
NL here: Imported American trucks. You do not need a car that costs €5000/month in fuel alone that you cannot use practically in any way that a van, a regular car or even a bakfiets could do more cost-effectively. The only people who go through the effort to get such a vehicle are compensating for something, and a Dodge Ram in The Netherlands is only useful for dick measuring, and the most significant thing it’ll ever move is the owner’s fragile ego.
We look at those people the same in the US too tbf lol
At least the European car market still has regular cars. Turns out that if it’s cheaper and easier to build and sell trucks, car manufacturers will make only trucks. So too many Americans buy trucks and SUV’s, not because they want to, but because that’s the only thing they can buy.
So too many Americans buy trucks and SUV’s, not because they want to, but because that’s the only thing they can buy.
That is…insanely inaccurate lol. “I wanted to buy a car but I could only find trucks for sale” is not a thing in this country whatosever.
In NL they have a lot less legitimity, there are no mountains, no huge private farms, no vast plains with subpar roads.
Yeah, they don’t even fit in a regular parking space, it is ridiculous to drive one in the Netherlands
They don’t fit in parking spaces here either! I’m constantly saying that they should park in the back of the parking lot
Anything with truck nuts attached
Ram Trucks. according to research, these vehicles are the most likely to be driven, and wrecked, by a drunk driver. People who instinctively idolize an animal that solves it’s problems by smashing them with it’s face… probably not the best people to drive near.
- Teslas
- Really large trucks that are clearly not being used for actual work
- BMWs
- Lexuses
- Shitty little ricers that aren’t fast, they’re just obnoxiously loud
- Anyone with a rented box truck (like a UHaul) driving in the far left lane of the freeway.
- Cop cars

I’m surprised to see Lexus on that list.
In my experience Lexus is more deserving than Tesla. Most Lexus drivers I come across on the road follow the laws pretty well and use a signal, but the people I’ve met in person who drove them were assholes. Opposite has been the case with Tesla drivers for me and the pic says assholes and doesn’t specify their driving ability.
I guess I could see that. I have a Lexus but hopefully I’m not an asshole :(.
I see that with Lexus SUVs more than the sedans though. But they definitely deserve to make the list.
Ricer ay?
Seems to me that Jeep Cherokee drivers think they own the road
deleted by creator
Oh no my loud Lexus.
Oversized trucks and new BMWs. Every fucking time…
Tesla.
Tesla model 3 to be exact.
The iPhone of the car world.
Anyone who has a big fucking pickup truck and isn’t living in a rural area
and probably a white pickup at that
Most will never see a speck of dirt in their entire lifetime or haul anything more than groceries. Pavement princesses.
Vehicles with thin blue line flags (and/or stickers of the same)
I’d like to believe my Honda Ridgeline is the exception to this, but truck bros don’t acknowledge it as a real truck anyway.
BMW. Eveytime. No blinker use either.
The BMW drivers have chilled out a little… It’s the audi driver these days that are complete tools.
This. Audi is the new BMW.
They have blinkers ?!?
Only if you pay for the subscription fees.
If you ever think you are doing a worthless job … think about the poor guy who installs the blinkers in a BMW factory.
They don’t pay the subscription fee.
That would be my first choice. Same experience.
Pretty sure they just removed turn signals on cars where I live. Super expensive car being driven by someone who has no clue, can’t guage speeds, can’t guage other traffic and can’t figure out when to use turn signals.
Cops do not do traffic infraction stops here whatsoever, and I’m pretty convinced many of the drivers here don’t even have a license. There is no way they could ha e passed the written test.
Tesla’s have become the new BMW drivers from my experience as of late.
