To be fair, the stock Ford 750 looks like the douchiest pickup vehicle imaginable. It’s like if you had asked an AI to design a truck specifically for dudes with fragile masculinity and court-mandated anger management classes. All it needs is twin flagpoles mounted to the back, with the American and confederate flags flying side by side.
Okay, but the truck is more commonly paired with a dump truck-style bed when used for commercial purposes like this: https://www.chicagomotorcars.com/imagetag/8228/3/l/Used-2007-Ford-F750-Super-Duty-Dump-Truck---CAT-DIESEL---Automatic---SUPER-CLEAN.jpg
Does a photo exist of the specific model this driver was using? If he was hauling gravel, I would guess he was using a dump truck model.
That is NOT a stock F-750. Try again. Be Better.
And that is the douchiest response you could have to that comment
Sure. Anywhere near as douchey as discrediting this community by spreading that garbage non-sense about what an F-750 actually is.
Ahh I see you don't understand, I'll explain. See an actual considerate human would just say "that's actually not the base model" or whatever you were complaining about, instead you chose to be rude and top it off with a cringe ass "be better", the go to response for someone who thinks they've got the moral high ground but don't wanna put any sort of discussion into it.
You're like the 2024 version of man-bun yoga hipsters, be better
Yeah, no. You see, your suggestion is actually what I replied to every other person who commented that claptrap on this post. Its like, right there in my comment history. That specific commenter went so far as to outright claim those pics were THE stock configuration though, and theirs was the last such comment I replied to. They, and you, can actually, on second thought, fuck right off.
I opted to be even slightly civil with them. Maybe because I like their username or I just had an off moment.
You? You made the mistake of assuming I was being, idk, sincere or some shit. No, I don't even actually hope or care that someone named "pm-your-nudes" even bothers to break character to make more truthful comments, so long as they're kinda-sorta called on it when they don't.
Stop being such an insincere-dumbfuck-persona-apologist. Getting people to realize "wow, I was almost fooled by this insincere shit-post-teir bullshit that failed to trip-up this man-bun-yoga-hipster dude" is exactly the shocked reader response I was going for. Welcome to peak internet. 2024 is the new 1994.
Aww buddy, that's too much, I'm not reading that. hey, I'm going to block you now because we have disagreements, but have a good day though!
Thirteen minutes ago, and you still haven't actually blocked me. Sounds about right.
