Off topic but do people censor wankers? Is it that level of swear? I thought it was on the same level as "crap" where it's a crass word but not exactly vulgarity

If I remember I'll show you what the space between my schools parking lot and the fense
Sweet baby deity, I hate sidewalk blockers.
I had a bruise for months on my shin because some douche nozzle parked with a hitch sticking almost to the other side of the 4ft sidewalk.
If you can't park nicely inside the space, at least have the decency to walk your happy ass across the parking lot and park in the back.
As an American, that’s not even a big truck anymore in my part of the country. That be considered a medium.
It’s awful.
You only need to specify if it's one of the other Londons.
That truck isn't remotely long enough to explain this.
I don’t see why pickups are suddenly appearing in England lately, they’re so ugly.
Tie a chain from the trailer hitch to the a fence post (note 'fence post' not fence chain) and leave about five or six feet of loose chain.
Most drivers (including myself) never bother to look at what their truck is attached to unless they were the ones who hitched a trailer to it themselves.
Lots of fun all around as they damage the fence and have to explain it or whip a chain to their tail end.
Leave the area and never return for about a month.
giggle at will
You should be able to walk by and smash the tail lights. The truck is an obstacle in the way of a public walkway. If you are using the sidewalk appropriately, there should be no obstruction, and any damage that may occur would not have happened if the truck was not blocking a public walkway.
Violence is the only option left. We've been legally restricted from doing anything else.
Not just the pickup truck that is over the sidewalk.
There’s a car backed in that’s blocking just as much of as the truck, wonder why they posted one and not both.
It’s bad parking lot design if a vehicle parks with its tires touching the parking stops, and it blocks the sidewalk. Most cars front and back ends stick out a couple feet, this would be blocked by ANY vehicle doing that here.
Man that truck bed looks useless.
It’s vestigial. It’s not meant to be used. It’s entirely so it looks truck-shaped to satisfy a user who has no need for an actual truck. In someways, I’m a fan of the design because at least it’s admitting that you don’t need to own a truck in a tiny way, but in that case, just have a reasonable vehicle.
I just scrap my keys on them at this point. I done dealing with car brain shit.
I dream about the day when the petro dollar crashes and fuckers that bought these things die in their house because they've never left their house on foot or bike before.
Bold parking choice for someone with thin paint that's softer than my keys
Check local laws about blocking sidewalks. You may be able to report them to a parking authority. Also, it may be illegal to have a hitch like that on the back while not actively towing (in some states in the USA it is).
Steal the hitch, OP. Remove it and throw it in that bin right there.
