A good share appear to be. There are some normal people here too. I sorta/kinda like to think of myself like that, but I have been mistaken a few times.
Geez, unreal!!!
I took off and went to the neighbouring town to get some groceries at the market there.
I came walking back out and noticed one of the local rednecks looking over my 150. I said,"How ya doing", and got back, "Is this your truck", rather smartassedly. Told him yes, and the next words were, "Only an idiot would buy a 2 wheeldrive". WTF!!! Took me back so badly I just told him I didn't like stickers and had removed them. Thought that might defuse his problem, but no, he insisted I show him the 4by switch. I just said screw this, and jumped in the truck and took off.
WTF is wrong with people?!?!?!
I had a similar experience earlier this year when out riding my BMW R1200GS motorcycle. I had pulled over in front of a church to make an adjustment and some scum-bag looking guy who was walking through (this is a semi-rural area) goes to me, "What kind of bike is that?" Me: "It's a BMW." Him: "That's a *** bike." Me: "Really, what kind of bike do you ride?" Him: "I don't have a bike." I figured the dude probably didn't have a car either. I could have pursued it further but this cretin didn't warrant any further oxygen on my part.
Some folks just don't know how to channel their envy. They're usually in possession of a lower IQ, and, as we all know, one can't fix stupid.
And there exist others like me here in a more-southern clime who want a newer F150 but who choose not to spend the extra dough for a 4WD option... it is of little consequence here but up in your neck o' the wo0dz, one has to have great tires and a set of skills to weather the winter in 2WD. You have 4WD, but your new acquaintance wasn't intelligent enough to realize these facts and instead turned to belittling you in whichever way he could. If it weren't the 4WD subject, he'd have tried to rattle your cage over something else. Some folks just seem to need an ealier buryin', that's all.
Clearly he’s not to smart or he would’ve looked at the front axle to tell if it’s a 4x4 or not
^^^^LOL, ya, I've seen that happen before. Many years ago, I'd take off on my bike to a town about 50 miles away, it was a nice ride. There was an ice cream stand that had actual "malts", instead of shakes. I remember a particularly dubious looking woman with a couple kids, snot dripping noses, the whole nine yards. She mumbled something about dirtbag bikers and got out of line. I ignored it.
Went and sat at an outdoors table. In drives one of those bus size motorhomes dragging a tandem trailer. Looked very nice, and reeked of money. LOL, the people that got out of it got their stuff, walked over to where I was, and asked if they could join me. Of course they can.
The skag with the snotnosed brats just sorta glared at me. Very nice people out of that motorhome!!!
