    There’s one of these pricks nearby my house. We have these tiny narrow roads and this prick is taking up 30% of it with their giant truck. Why? I have never seen them put anything in it. Right now the through road is blocked and you have to turn around awkwardly… Bet they regret that thing now.

      Follow the lead of activists in Britain. Flatten the tires by pressing on the valve stem. No property damage to people that might have been out of options, and sends a clear message that large vehicles aren’t welcome

        Pressing on the valve stem? Just put a lentil in one and replace or use a valve core tool to take the valve core out

          The point is to do no permanent damage so they don’t sue you.

            It takes less time to remove a valve stem then it does to sit there and let the air out.

            Removing the valve stem is not permanent damage either as long as they don’t let the truck sit on a flat for a long time.
