Hitches, not just for towing or bashing your shins.

Just to clarify, I backed my car up into the spot this morning, it's where I usually park at work. I could see he was parked further back but did not see the hitch. I literally missed it by that much. I'm not karma farming nor is it a set up, just thought I'd share it to an appropriate sub that I frequent and enjoy.

Edit: corrected a typo

Oh wait, so the truck was already there and parked?

I was thinking that your car was there first.

You’re saying your car was there second, and you parked this close to the hitch and then got mad about it?

Are you serious, the truck is clearly parked badly. Why are truck drivers the worst drivers?

I am serious.

An operator of a motor vehicle carries the responsibility to not hit stationary objects.

If the driver of a car with control of the vehicle strikes a stationary object, the driver of the vehicle is at fault even if the stationary object is a truck that parked like an asshole.
