Hey now. Alberta has a ton of morons, and slightly more than their fair share of assholes. But Hanlon’s razor* still applies. I don’t think anybody put a hitch on their truck with the express intent of causing harm somewhere. They are more likely just stupid and/or lazy.
* “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
In other words: some bad things happen not because of people having bad intentions, but because they did not think it through properly. Or at all.
No… I’ve had truck owners ask me why I don’t leave mine on to protect my truck or make it worse for others. I just roll my eyes and walk away, because you can’t reason with them, like what’s happening in the comment chain here.
Also comes down to monkey see monkey do too I find.
Fair enough. I lived there long enough to know that some of them definitely did it purely out of spite, I just can’t imagine it is a majority.
Yep sorry didn’t mean to imply all/majority, just provide some insight. I used to work construction for commercial industrial general contractor. I saw ALL types in the various industries and businesses we dealt with and the range of contractors we used as well.
Lots of perspectives while having to “break bread” with some of them.
I’ve forgotten to take my ball off before, it happens, no one is immaculate.
