All you can do is laugh and take a pic. 
this guy had me laughing. He rolls coal into the gas station. Fogged out the staff (we have gas station slaves in Oregon). He whistles for an attendant. No joke. 
His truck, as you can see, is a pavement princess. More money than sense. When he falls out of the truck I about lose it. Here he is, dressed in a flat brim hat, sweat pants, flip flops, and a "west coast choppers" shirt. Lmao. 
oh, and he kindly left his truck running the entire fill up so all of us could breathe that trash in.

I saw pretty much the same thing yesterday except he had a man-bun.

We have a small contingent of Hipsters in town. I guess there is some crossover.

How insecure are YOU about YOURSELF to constantly need to belittle everyone with a different vehicle taste than you?

Dude's truck looks like it's cared for. Definitely don't agree with his taste but it's not my place to judge him for that. Him being a douche is possible but a seperate issue.

How stuck up are you to look down on others? Kinda seems like you're in the boat with me. Furthermore, YOU didn't have to sit there inhaling HIS cancer. 
 

I don't have to explain myself. I stand by what I've put down in writing. And Berkeley you to anyone that thinks otherwise

Did you happen to go up to him in person  and let him know what you thought about it?

There is a HUGE difference between merely having 'different vehicle taste' and literally forcing the people around you to taste your vehicle.

I never tasted the fumes from my pre-emissions Cummins. Pretty strong smell though.

Seriously though. I leave my excursion running to fill up. Keeps my kid or gf from sweating to death in the summer or freezing in the winter!

Also, I wear sweat pants, flipflops/slips, dad hat or flat brim cap, any variation off tee's when I'm just doing my errands as well. I've also fell out my none lowered truck when my boot got caught inbetween the sidestep and truck. So I can't judge him. 

The guy might be rude or annoying but it isn't because his taste in vehicles. 

Real nice truck though. Thanks for sharing!

So, diversity is a good thing, as long as you are diverse in exactly the right way.

This guy is a douchebag and deserves to get called out as a douchebag.  It doesn't matter if he's driving a beautifully restored E-Type, Brian's Eclipse from F&F, or a nice STR Miata.  He's a douchebag in a group that takes douchebaggery as a point of pride.

It's not about the truck - it's about the common type of beta-male that currently likes to self-identify by driving that type of truck.  They'll be doing something different in another 5 years.

What's a Beta-Male to you? I still don't understand the various uses of this term in regards to human males.

In reply to Daylan C :

I'm guessing your pre-emissions Cummins doesn't actually billow a huge black cloud of smoke (roll coal) and/or that you're not generally standing next to it when it is doing so.

 

In reply to 1988RedT2 :

Diversity is great, but the right to be diverse does not supersede the right to breath reasonably clean (smoke-free) air.

So is the leader of the Beta-males called the Master Beta?

I'm considering it to be a male who feels the need to inflict himself on others as a way of dominating those to whom he secretly feels inferior.

I.e. the rolling coal and preemptive whistling for an attendant.

So what if he's just an shiny happy person who do things for self-entertainment but doesn't feel inferior as you would assume? 

I find it hard to believe that you can discern the difference between an alpha or beta based on how they feel without actually knowing how that person feels.

If self-entertainment includes being rude and disdainful to those around you (see previous coal rolling / whistling), then you are a beta male whether you feel inferior or not.

Are you also a beta male? If not, why? If so, how?
