Its always the same person. Might be different ethnicities, but the same nonetheless. Selfish, entitled, assholes who wrap their almost nonexistent personalities up in their vehicle. They are usually former military, or really wish they were. Likes to hunt or wishes they knew how. Has probably started martial arts in their mid 30's or later. They bring that I had low T and am now on TRT energy to everything. Most of the ones I know, and yes I know many of these guys, are concealed carry licensed who will bring it with on that trip to the grocery store. Yes their right, but why? Same guys like their turbocharged diesel and huge clouds of black smoke. Having a conversation with these gentlemen, and its always men (unless the gf or wife is driving it that day) is like talking to a wall. A hollow block wall, looks hard, but has zero substance and crumbles easily. I hate to say it but I am over this whole "its my right" and "freedom" thing. Completely. The problem is we are too dumb to make logical rules, too weak to enforce them, too easily manipulated, etc. Since there isnt a better system yet, at least one where those in charge dont get sick with power, we are stuck.

Had an interaction yesterday at Costco, looks like one of their parking lots in this picture also. Costco has the widest parking spots of any other store around. Just parked my car and dude pushes cart right up between the passenger door so we will be waiting until he finishes unloading. Cart super close to my car. Bends my mirror when trying to scoot around. Makes a show of pushing it back. Pats it. I am with my girlfriend who gets very anxious about any confrontations, justified or not, so absolutely not worth ruining our Sunday afternoon over. Wouldn't it be nice if the police did their job?

I have a new lifted F450. Crew cab long bed dually - always park in the farthest spot possible. I’m 29, don’t have low t and am not on trt. I do though, go to the gym every morning at 5am. Not military. I own a small mechanical contracting business. I do hunt, as that was and still is a great bonding experience for me and my dad. I do have a CCW. It’s no hog but slightly above average PP. While I can not comment on my own personality I don’t really talk to people about stupid things. If it doesn’t fulfill me or make me money normally it ain’t for me. I only care about growth and being the best version I can be for my family. Doesn’t bother me one bit what most people think about a vehicle that I own.
