    I am an adult. I’m short, yes, but this is ridiculous. The hood on this truck is higher than my shoulder. It forms in 90° angle with the ground. hideous! There’s no way they could see me in the crosswalk.

    They were double parked. Even with the engine off it felt unsafe to walk in front of this thing. I would be so embarrassed to drive a car like this if I were not … plowing snow?

    It's kinda like owning a giant dog that you can't control... It makes _you_ feel safer.

    I guess.

    I dunno. I don't own a giant dog that I can't control or a giant truck that I can't control.

    I'm not even sure it's ego that moves people to buy these things... I think it might actually be _fear_, as counter-intuitive as that might sound.

      Until it mauls your kid.

      That’s who gets hit most often— kids in driveways.

        "SUPER DUTY"

        more like super dooty

        TBF I have noticed they have commercial plates, but they were still double parked on a NYC residential street. Just don't ever do that.

            "SUPER DUTY"

            Is so ... child-like. Doesn't any of this trigger any feelings of embarrassment?

            I'm going to put: "UBER SHELPPER" on my shopping cart.

                @futurebird i'm having trouble understanding how this is even in a parking spot. it looks like it's in a lane of traffic.

                  It is a lane of traffic! They are double parked blocking the street which is only 1.5 lanes wide as it is (with the parked cars on both sides.)

                    @futurebird Basically "super duty" means it should be able to handle more than "light duty trucks", they apparently have heavier-duty chassis components that allow for heavier payloads and towing capabilities, above other Ford F-series trucks. Apart from that, it's a marketing play on the US truck classification (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_classification).

                      *begrudgingly*

                      well I suppose that makes sense.

                      ... still sounds silly.
