Performative trailer hitches on performative pickups performatively parked.

And they complain about trans people needing their gender affirmed.

u/4ScoreN7Beers 5h ago

First one looks fairly used

u/turkshead 5h ago

Performative doesn't mean it's not used, it just means they want you to see it and draw conclusions about the kind of person they are for having it. If they didn't want you to see it they'd have taken it off and stashed it behind the seat when they parked the trailer.

u/OnceUponATrain 4h ago

You seriously think people don't go through the trouble of removing their trailer hitch and reinstalling it because they want you to think they are a person that uses a trailer hitch????

Maybe it's because it's a pain in the ass to remove, store and reinstall, lol, and they don't give a fuck about your opinion of whether they use their trailer hitch.

How fucking weird of you.

u/Qrahe 1h ago

I mean personally, I think it's weird that their car is blocking the sidewalk. If you can't park your vehicle legally you shouldn't be driving it. Seems they need to be in a sedan because they lack the spacial awareness for driving a truck.

1

u/Sad-Professional332 1h ago

Yes, I love in the country, we remove the hitch and throw it in the back. Calling it trouble is wild.

-2

u/turkshead 4h ago

It's not a pain in the ass. It's just pulling a pin. Leaving it on means you're constantly having to make sure you're not accidentally backing into shit because you've got a foot long stinger. It's earlier if you take it off.

2

u/OnceUponATrain 4h ago

It's a pain in the ass. I've got a million things to do in a day and that one is not getting done, and my not doing it isn't performative, it's just not necessary.

1

u/turkshead 4h ago

LOL "I've got too many things to do to worry about ______" is the most performative bullshit of all.

1

u/OnceUponATrain 4h ago

I guess you don't understand the word "performative". And that's ok.

1

u/turkshead 4h ago

"I'm so busy" is a way of signaling that you're important.

2

u/OnceUponATrain 4h ago

I'm sorry you don't have anything to tow.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that somebody who feels called out by my comments on performative masculinity also lacks imagination

u/Ok_Umpire_5611 2h ago

You sound hysterical with your exaggeration.

1

u/OnceUponATrain 1h ago

But making a post about being afraid of not racking your shins because of trailer hitches isn't hysterical?

0

u/Ok_Umpire_5611 1h ago

No. But imagining only your specific scenario to defend being inconsiderate of strollers, people walking side by side, wheelchairs or any other legitimate use of of a sidewalk absolutely is. You're weird.

u/Waste_Eagle_2414 2h ago

Dude you need to get off the internet and go talk to people in real life. This is schizo

u/opx22 2h ago

Lmao why would they care if you see it? Such a weird assumption to make

u/Jealous_Difference44 2h ago

Okay, thats just mental gymnastics. I was with you for a bit there

u/Lazy-Zucchini6757 5h ago

There’s rust on the ball which comes from a trailer tongue rubbing off the chrome.

3

u/HowardIsMyOprah 3h ago

I should call her

1

u/SuperCruisePanther 2h ago

Or from backing into other objects while leaving your hitch attached

1

u/Lazy-Zucchini6757 2h ago

On the front and top of the ball? Why do you so badly want to be upset about this?

1

u/SuperCruisePanther 1h ago

Yes, on the front and top of the ball.

1

u/Lazy-Zucchini6757 1h ago

I don’t think you’ve thought through the physics of the circumstance you’re proposing.

1

u/JHoney1 2h ago

The other two are further in the side walk and all shiny though. First one gets a pass.

1

u/Lazy-Zucchini6757 1h ago

Lol the second one gets a pass too. It’s a shiny new ball on a beat up old receiver.

4

u/OnceUponATrain 5h ago

Performative as in they perform to haul things like trailers?

3

u/ClankerWrangler 1h ago

No reddit told me that no one who owns a pickup truck ever uses it for any work ever and therefore no one should have them.

2

u/OnceUponATrain 1h ago

Agreed. No way any of them need to hitch a trailer at o'dark thirty to do the work of moving the shit that the people of reddit rely on being moved everyday.

0

u/Stnmn 1h ago

What about having a job prohibits you from parking normally and taking 30 seconds to remove your hitch?

•

u/OnceUponATrain 59m ago

Thirty seconds, lol.

Even if that were true, going around it takes less time and effort.

•

u/Stnmn 57m ago

Bit of a self report if it takes you much longer than that to remove it. Maybe if you took it off after using it, it wouldn't be rusted on?

•

u/OnceUponATrain 49m ago

Maybe. But it still takes less time and effort to walk around it than it does to remove it and reinstall it, even in the best conditions.

2

u/Sad-Professional332 1h ago

Are those trailers in the room with us?

u/MFrancisWrites 3h ago

"Don't tread on me" from guys who drive vehicles larger than ones with actual tank treads.

u/SkyResponsible3718 2h ago

I’m sure we’re on opposite sides of a lot of things, but man this makes me laugh. Thank you!

u/DaChoppa 2h ago

I love seeing all these butthurt truck owners be personally offended by an internet comment.

1

u/TheCajunDad 2h ago

I know A LOT of people in the category who drive the exact same trucks.

1

u/scapegoat313 1h ago

Performative? I got in two fender benders that I took $0 in damage while the other party needed a tow. It’s protection lmao.

1

u/spawndoorsupervisor 1h ago

Then there's trans people who own trucks. I mean, you guys really love to swing us around like we're some kind of sword in your internet flap fights but, in reality, we're just as much the people you hate as anyone else.

u/turkshead 2h ago

I love that you've created a whole idea of me in your head and then invented a way to criticize that person that doesn't exist, because you're unhappy that I made fun of some people for being inconsiderate and lazy about their gender performance

u/Waste_Eagle_2414 2h ago

That’s literally what you did with these people in the picture.

u/Low_Creme1365 3h ago

Whatever bro. If they parked with the hitches in line with the curb, y’all would just take a picture of the front saying that stick out too far.  People use trucks. Just because you don’t doesn’t make them bad.

u/Altruistic-Exit3518 3h ago

Solution is to remove the hitch

1

u/ReasonableReasonably 2h ago

Where I live that's not just the solution, it's the law. Or at least the law is you can't obstruct the sidewalk.

0

u/Low_Creme1365 3h ago

Or stepping slightly to the right

2

u/Altruistic-Exit3518 2h ago

The concern is wheelchairs or anyone walking at night. It's also just rude.

1

u/MuhCrazyInlaws 3h ago

Yeah just push the wheelchair into the grass
/s

0

u/Low_Creme1365 2h ago

The grass that is almost completely level and flat. Yeah you’ll be fine.  Also love how it’s always the extreme case being jumped to like everyone is in a wheelchair.  Maybe of these truck drivers just put them in and forgot their wallets and had to run inside quickly. 

2

u/MuhCrazyInlaws 2h ago

It’s really simple they just leave them on because it they only think about themselves personally and then proceed to inconvenience society for it

1

u/Sad-Professional332 1h ago

Even if the grass was viable, why? Just remove the hitch.

0

u/Crob300z 2h ago

What if you tow every other day? My drop hitch weighs 40lbs. I don’t want to put it in and out everyday I tow. And it’s off my ass repellant.

1

u/Altruistic-Exit3518 2h ago edited 2h ago

If you actually tow that frequently, and you have a 40 lb hitch which seems to be the heaviest one possible, then maybe. Is that the situation with every truck in this photo, probably not.

men use trucks for gender affirmation and to compensate

1

u/Altruistic-Exit3518 3h ago

I've heard this a million times from people whining about trucks. Never actually seen someone using a truck to compensate for anything, other than not having the muscles to pull 13,000 lbs.

u/Cautious-Plum-8245 2h ago

the amount of pristine pavement princess toddler kller trucks i've seen in my city is too high i can't even count. hardly seen a truck that looks it went thought the ringer but ok

u/Altruistic-Exit3518 2h ago edited 2h ago

Those people like their trucks then. I drive a sports car that's never taken to a track and beaten up like it "should be," I just like driving it, so what?

u/Crob300z 2h ago

What’s the issue? Men also use hormones to grow boobs, but Reddit has no issue with that

“People should be allowed to do what they want with their lives without judgment. Unless it’s anything that I don’t agree with, in that case I hope they burn in hell”

u/Cautious-Plum-8245 2h ago

see that's where you're wrong, people shouldn't be allowed to do a lot of things and should be shamed and judged

u/Ted_Striker02 4h ago

Yes. Liberals don’t drive pickups.

u/Western-Bug-2873 4h ago

Some do, but most tend to be educated people who work with their minds instead of their backs doing simple manual labor and hauling big objects around.

Let's not shit on the working class when attempting to talk trash on conservatives, please.

He said the quiet part out loud. Wonder why working class doesn't vote Dem.

u/6thPentacleOfSaturn 3h ago

Could stand to be quieter, frankly. Not exactly an uncommon sentiment, but a shit one nonetheless.

Who is "shitting on" them? Someone has to answer the phones, clean the toilets and fix my hamburger for lunch.

Too funny! And almost every big truck I see in NC is performative. Very clean and shiny beds. Fukking ridiculous!!

Yeah and in CA I see lots of shiny sports cars, not even used for racing as intended. People like their cars and trucks, it's not a big deal.

u/Light_Yagami72 2h ago

why do pickups trigger you so much. Its just a pickup lol to do pickup stuff.

u/Thomas_Foolery_ 2h ago

At least taxpayers aren’t paying for his stupid hitch. I don’t care what people do to their own bodies but my tax money shouldn’t be going toward an elective surgery respectfully.

1

u/turkshead 1h ago

You really haven't thought this through, have you?

1

u/Thomas_Foolery_ 1h ago

Classic non response

1

u/turkshead 1h ago

Still resisting the siren call of performing critical thought without having someone adversarily explain the issue to you.

•

u/Thomas_Foolery_ 31m ago

Classic non response follow up, all insults no logic or reasoning behind why taxpayers should fund trans gender affirming care when it’s not life threatening and an elective service. Please instead of using performative words, explain why American taxpayers should foot the bill for transitioning surgeries. Try doing better to respond to the issue rather than doing your best Trump impersonation by slinging out insults.
