    Everybody here with slashing tires and me just thinking water in the tank sounds nice. But I just recommend putting water in the tank and maybe some salt and a dash of fresh piss. The truck will run but eventually it’s gonna die and will smell like piss for a bit. If it doesn’t die, the salt and water mixture will start to corrode the interior of the gas tank.

      Just call a tow truck. No need to resort to revenge. Them having to retrieve the truck and pay the fees should be enough of a deterrent without giving them reasons to call the police.

              I had a similar issue with a truck and just called my apartment, they had them towed at the car owner’s expense. That’s usually the best option is contact whoever owns the garage or property management and they’ll get the asshole towed on the asshole’s dime usually.

              Looks like a parking garage of some sort. Property owners most likely already have a contract with a tow company for parking violations. Should be able to call the property manager to get it towed or call the towing company whose number is probably one of many signs there.

        you can just unscrew the valve stem cap, drop a bb sized pebble in the cap, screw the cap back on and walk away when you hear it start hissing. No tools needed, takes 10 seconds and you haven’t done any property damage.

        truck tires especially can have high enough PSI to mess you up if you just go ripping valve stems out while inflated and under load so that really shouldn’t be a recommendation. nobody wants their hand surprised degloved.

          That truck doesn’t have tire pressure any higher than a car does. It’s the large trucks like semi trucks and dump trucks that have the high-pressure tires.

            you can’t assess the psi accurately through guessing like that. An idiot who overinflated his tires coupled with a heavy load in the back can absolutely make a tire like that dangerous on sudden decompression.

            Definitely not true. I have a relative with a truck similar to the pictured one, and the rear tires are around 85 psi. If the individual thinks they need tow-worthy tires, they can definitely get them.

          You haven’t done any property damage….? Until they start driving 5 minutes later and the tire goes flat mid drive which causes it to explode. The vehicle then loses control and hits a completely innocent random bystander.

          Congrats, you just committed manslaughter for petty revenge.

            I don’t find your reasoning compelling, it takes less than 5 minutes for the tire to deflate and modern vehicles have pressure warnings on the dash. So your scenario requires a whole bunch of corner cases happening at the same time.

            of course you shouldn’t engage in petty revenge but if anyone chooses to do so they should know how to it without hurting themselves.

    Throw nails in the parking spot. Then tell neighbor about someone putting nails. Gain neighbors trust and ask politely to move the truck.

      Considering I don’t see a lift kit, expanded exhaust, and giant low-profile tires; this just looks like a regular pickup truck to me. The luster on the paint is even a little faded, so it’s getting old. Driver is just an asshole here. Probably a shitty driver, since the rear bumper is hanging at an angle.

        dude, a pickup truck is terrible no matter how you qualify it, they’re needlessly huge and have barely any cargo space, they’re just objectively bad in every single way.

        there is no use case where a pickup truck is better than something like a kei truck, they even come in actually usefully lifted versions that would traverse offroad environments better since they’re lighter.

          Are you seriously saying a fucking kei truck is more useful than a pickup?

          You’ve never done a day of blue collar work and it shows. That chintzy little JDM truck can’t do half of what America’s work force needs.

            Yeah, that’s an insane comment. I regularly tow an 8,500 lbs trailer with my pickup and regularly haul 2,000 lbs of pellets for our stove in it. Sometimes I tow the trailer with an additional 500 lbs of stuff in the bed of the pickup. I seriously doubt a kei truck - which aren’t even available here in the US - could handle either of those tasks.

                And let’s face it, there are quite a few pickups around that have never hauled anything. But to claim they can’t haul anything is just bizarre.

            Unless you’re talking about towing other cars and carrying entire trees yea a kai probably wouldn’t make the cut but for furniture transportation fire wood mail delivery and mulch transportation are all things that take way less horsepower than you think hell even with car towing I’ve done with a dinky little 4 wheeler from the 80s if a atv can do all the things I mentioned a kai can absolutely accomplish them and you don’t take up soo much space when you take your haul through the city the reason everyone hates full size pickups is because soo many people just use them to get groceries and nothing more

              It’s good as a shop truck sure. But most American CARS have double the payload weight of a kei.

              They have a place, but what I was responding to was nonsense. Pickup trucks are a necessity for tons of work. A lot of crews doing different work haul trailers full of their tools and material.

                so what’s so magical about the US that people need pickups there but not in the rest of the world? If you need to haul tools you have a van, which can carry a vastly larger volume without getting things wet.

          Wiggin was a pawn tho. He had no idea he was killing anything, certainly not a species. If anyone deserves the named solution it’s Graff. Rackham to a lesser extent.

          This is borne out in speaker for the dead where ender devotes himself to finding a viable world for the new hive queen.

            I think it’s more of a book reference to his fight with bonzo, who was bullying ender. Ender was a few years younger and knew he had to win the fight “permanently,” so it’s inferred that he knew what he was doing (not intending to kill him but that’s obviously a possibility).

            Iirc, the officials told ender that bonzo was sent home. In reality, he did actually kill bonzo and was lied to about it.

              His goal was to demonstrate that he was a crazy animal. That was the thing he was hoping would keep the bullying away: demonstrating a lack of constraint.

              It wasn’t so much about disabling the other boy as about establishing an image as an unpredictable enemy.

                His goal was to point out that it wasn’t worth it to mess with him, he’s going to fight back hard and take you out. It was about deterring him from wanting to ever pick on him. Right, his goal wasn’t to permanently disfigure him, but to establish a permanent idea that it isn’t worth it to pick on him

            He also didn’t know he was killing the kid at the beginning on the story either, but he definitely meant to make sure that he wouldn’t be bullying anyone anymore.
