[ When I was living in Austin TX I had a full beer thrown at me from a lifted truck. I was just walking, and he screamed "Get a job you homeless piece of shit". If he was smart enough to get his truck to roll coal he would have done that too. I was pissed. Flipped him off. Full fight mode. Bro pulled into the parking lot of a nearby strip mall but sped off when he realized I was serious about fighting him. I was absolutely serious, and would have died in that parking lot if that was what God willed. Here's the thing though, I had a car, a nice car, a brand new sports car even. I had a job, a good job, a side hustle, and I was doing drops, which means I was the plug son. I paid rent. By every metric I was not the person he was trying to target. I was just walking to the Planet K that wasn't even a half-mile from my apartment complex. Normal shit. Walking is a revolutionary act. Because I was walking I was seen as less than, unhuman. It was a deeply radicalizing thing.

I haven't had a car in over two years. I walk everywhere, dozens of miles a week. Gas prices should be like 11 dollars a gallon, I don't give a fuck. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/comments/1ux4ojg/the_comments_on_any_video_involving_a_bicycle_are/)

Yeah that’s some classic TA style posting you don’t see muchua that these days duya

Had a dude in a mustang attempt to throw a Gatorade bottle at me for checks notes not trusting cars to not turn into me as I crossed a crosswalk, while I'm the midst of scoring free water from Publix( was out of ice) while the sun beat tf down as me and my partner figured out a game plan to not be ✨houseless✨ and was making my way back to said partner. This is with a chapped ass (walked 14 mi) from the other night when I had taken issue with being called ageist, when discussing hostile architecture, when trying to ground the deeply traumatized individual who we eventually left anyways because our intentions and honor were constantly being questioned, despite showing genuine care and concern and possibly indulging in her delusions... I'm not a psych doctor by any means so I tried my best. And it wasn't good enough, per usual

Best part was being called a liar, that there's no way I could walk 14mi, meanwhile I've walked nearly 60mi within 4 days, one was a rest in between. And I can walk about 23 in one go, no training, no conditioning, just bed rotted.

What is it with guys with lifted trucks and throwing full beers at people?

Same thing happened to me when I was walking with a friend down in Southie (South Boston for those unfamiliar)

Called us slurs, hurled the bottle of Sam Adams, missed by a country mile, had to stop at a red light right up the block, I had to resist the urge to key up his truck

Settled for spitting on the hood and running off like a gazelle

called us slurs, hurled the bottle of Sam Adams, missed by a country mile

That's just Boston, they'd do it from a civic too.

True

One of the most racist places I have ever been

And i'm from Milwaukee, where they literally built a highway to keep the black people away from the white people

Is "full beer" a new common noun?

It shows a certain level of rage where they're willing to sacrifice beer to throw a more powerful projectile

Having had empties tossed at me, it's a very different experience

Do they really value the beer though?

Probably not as much I do

Even though I am no longer a casual beer drinker

Well I guess you’d expect that they’d drink the beer before throwing it at someone. A real South Boston Irishman would drink it at least. That guy is probably from some commuter suburb where everyone’s got a three car garage full of lifted trucks.

A true alcoholic wouldn't waste the beer. Stealing addict valor.

I've fought drunker, more powerful alcoholics back in Milwaukee

Often while drunk myself

I automatically assume that anyone who drives a lifted truck is an asshole, doubly so if it doesn't have any mud on it at all.

The funniest part is that it being so tall, it definitely limited his ability to throw accurately, since he basically had to remove his seat belt and lean full over to the passenger window

"nice gas prices, loser "

Unlike most copypastas, this one is totally believable, nothing pisses off the burger central cortex like seeing someone on foot.

God this is what i did every day before i moved away from the US i was so psychotic I miss it

Of course, subtract having a nice car B)
