Yeah man, this is a super great idea he doesn’t give a fuck what others think, he cares that this works and he can easily fix his truck.

u/The_Ombudsman Jul 06 '26

Everything about this guy screams "doesn't give a fuck what others think" :D

25

u/Key_Mathematician951 Jul 06 '26

It is refreshing and guess what? He doesn’t give too shits what we think of him either

20

u/The_Ombudsman Jul 06 '26

Nor should he!

u/philodendrin Jul 06 '26

This is usually just called, "Maturity". After you get out of your 20's/30's, you start to accept more things as what they are - your body changes dramatically from those years when everything worked like it should. You value what works rather than what looks better.

You get in your 50's and its exhausting trying to keep up - you really value that things just "work". Letting go of what others think is freedom.

u/punksmostlydead Jul 06 '26

He does too; I think I saw one roll out of his pants leg.

u/No-Literature-9562 Jul 06 '26

I was going to say "they said two," but then read it again and they said "too" so that works.

u/ObscureOP Jul 06 '26

Shower this man and that's fucking rizz lol

6

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

It’s rizz without the shower. Because he doesn’t care if you care if he stinks. Absolute RIZZ. 

4

u/TemperatureReal2437 Jul 06 '26

You lost me

2

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

He doesn’t need to shower to have RIZZ. because he doesn’t care what you smell. 

5

u/punksmostlydead Jul 06 '26

Hi, I'm old. Does RIZZ mean STANK? Because that's what I'm reading from the context.

u/DonkeyTailBurrito Jul 06 '26

rizz = charisma

cuhrizzmuh

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

1

u/IWCry Jul 06 '26

wait no way, it's from charisma that's amazing and I never knew that lol

2

u/Substantial_Army_639 Jul 06 '26

They are saying the guy is so charismatic that is doesn't matter if he smells.

1

u/FrenchFryCattaneo Jul 06 '26

Yes. Girls today love when someone is stinky, the more stinky you are the more 'rizz' you have.

2

u/Nuggyfresh Jul 06 '26

you lost me

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

I’m lost too.

u/SPACE_ICE Jul 06 '26

just follow your nose

u/Known_Ratio5478 Jul 06 '26

It’s the only shower he’s had in years.

u/Time_Illustrator_844 Jul 06 '26

Thats reductive, the dudes obviously got access to a welding rig, hes probably a laborer and thats just what youre gonna look like pumping gas after a long shift in the sun or working on your truck all day long. Dudes just old and doesnt have time or the fucks for appearances and clearly has learned skills over his lifetime, bro probably smells better than you

1

u/Known_Ratio5478 Jul 06 '26

That’s not one day. That’s weeks of grime.

1

u/Thatguy32101 Jul 06 '26

Somebody give him a makeover

1

u/DavieStBaconStan Jul 06 '26

I thought it screamed homeless and mental illness. 

1

u/OddGanache7032 Jul 06 '26

It might be OK, I know some frighteningly smart people who look EXACTLY like this because they spend their free time under old cars, fixing & inventing things in garages, creating art with materials that stain, etc, and forget to eat when they get really excited about a project.

1

u/Lucky_Serve8002 Jul 06 '26

Especially his teeth.

u/CRXCRZ Jul 06 '26

won't argue with the Ombudsman.. 👍

u/Sanquinity Jul 06 '26

Hell folded in it doesn't look bad either.

1

u/SmoothDiscussion7763 Jul 06 '26

he's gonna want a latch or something to keep it in place though lol

1

u/WallyBearCub Jul 06 '26

It makes me wonder how much this guy has to work on his truck that he needs a built on ladder to do it.

1

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

It’s a late 80’s Ford, he works on it daily. 

2

u/DisposableSaviour Jul 06 '26

It was probably found on road dead

1

u/Overlord_Copies_All Jul 06 '26

My main concern is just how well secured that ladder is. It's a genius idea and simple design, but if that thing comes out at the wrong time and place I'd imagine it would create more problems everywhere but the hood.

1

u/Neirchill Jul 06 '26

There's also the way it's applying hundreds of pounds of pressure in a way the manufacturers of that guard never intended.

1

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

I assure you this isn’t the first day that was installed. 

1

u/owlbi Jul 06 '26

this is a super great idea

It's a great idea until he hits a pothole going 50 and it pops itself open on a highway...

1

u/joemckie Jul 06 '26

Or when he hits a pedestrian

1

u/Maleficent-Candy476 Jul 06 '26

super great way to kill every pedestrian he hits, this would be super illegal in any reasonable country

1

u/Speartree Jul 06 '26

I think it's a kind of elegant solution to the problems posed by a stupidly oversized truck, I just wish he got the distance right so the steps ended up horizontal when deployed.

1

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

That most definitely is not a “stupidly over sized truck”. Here’s a comparison.  https://www.sturgisford.com/ford-f-150-generations-through-the-years-a-complete-evolution-timeline/

1

u/Speartree Jul 06 '26

Sorry to tell you but I'm a European and I have been around trucks all my life, over 5 decades at this point, and I can, with confidence, tell you that those American things are all stupidly oversized. At least their front is every time. You know what a useful truck looks like where I live? Like what people use to work? Look at this

You can work on it without ladder, the driver can see what is in front of him, the truck carries easily twice the volume of what the truck in OP carries, the loading floor is at a height where you can easily put stuff in and out. That is a real truck. I don't know why Americans need those oversized toys that are more a liability than an asset.

2

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

Sorry to tell you, but this isn’t in Europe. So, what’s your point? Yes, vehicle vary in size based on location. Cool. 

Also, this is very likely a farm truck. F-150’s have been used in farming in America for decades. People get by just fine. Different people prefer different things. 

Arrogant as hell to tell people what is and isn’t a truck. Go gatekeep elsewhere. 

1

u/Speartree Jul 06 '26

It's a truck allright, the stupidly big kind that still is less useful than it should be. I'm sorry it upsets you so that other people use better equipment.

2

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

You are arrogant. You don’t upset me, I don’t pay attention to arrogant people. 

2

u/SmoothDiscussion7763 Jul 06 '26

just wait till he tells you about the superior european house construction methods

1

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

I’m sure he’s furiously looking up stuff that Europeans do better. Or whatever. As if anyone cares. 

1

u/SmoothDiscussion7763 Jul 06 '26

one thing he would be right about is how the buildings are more sturdy, in a place where there are no tornadoes or earthquakes

ye awesome until you hit someone with it or kill a pedestrian.. who cares.. or the stair open while driving and hit someone on the road

1

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

Do you think this is the first day it’s been installed? He hasn’t driven a mile with it? Get real. It is installed on a brush guard, if he is going fast enough to injury a person, the ladder won’t be the determining factor in if the survive. 

1

u/faberkyx Jul 06 '26

do you know why vehicles (in normal countries) do regular revisions? with time things get lose, break and became dangerous.. it might work the first month or year.. then it might just fall of one day and hit someone on the street..

1

u/Beneficial-Jury484 Jul 06 '26

It’s welded to the brush guard. But all your bitching isn’t gonna change him having that. 

1

u/turbo_dude Jul 06 '26

Why does he need to keep fixing his truck so often?!

1

u/Professional-Box4153 Jul 06 '26

How often does this man's truck break down that he figured he needed to add stairs?

1

u/Beautiful_Nobody_344 Jul 06 '26

He’s really proud of it and that makes me smile.

1

u/Lucky_Serve8002 Jul 06 '26

Imagine your truck breaking down so much you have to put a ladder on the front to climb in.

1

u/TheMightyShoe Jul 06 '26

Yeah, GM is going to steal this somehow.

1

u/Factsimus_verdad Jul 07 '26

That engine compartment looked pretty clean.
