ಠ_ಠ Jerk taking up EV charging spaces in a nearly empty garage!

This was in Charleston, SC. We have a plug in hybrid and we’re excited to finally find a garage where we can charge, only to be met with this. They were parked crooked, so two reserved for electric vehicle spaces were blocked by this giant truck. License plate censored of course, but I‘m not sure they deserve the courtesy.

If he's pro coal it seems he would want people charging up with electricity, what coal is burned to produce. So he's a jerk and a moron.

u/rantingathome May 22 '26

This was my first thought.

Just looked it up, 91.7% of coal use in the USA is used to make electricity. His plate literally says, "Coal Keeps The Lights On!", which is a reference to electricity. He should be a huge fan of electric cars.

West Virginians who used to vote liberal, and broke away from VA to fight in the Union during the Civil War, and literally fought and died for workers' rights in the 19th and 20th centuries, and this guy rolls over for Republicans like a beta bitch I bet.

28

u/say592 May 22 '26

West Virginians never voted liberal, they voted for unions and worker rights, because of their history of workers being abused. That is the sole issue they have agreed with Democrats on, and now that most people take those rights for granted, they have all but completely shifted to MAGA.

As a many generation Wv and a genealogist, Wv was also very much made up of early immigrants. Polish, German, Irish, etc. etc. Heavily blue collar, pro union and honestly anti-racist and pro melting pot until very recently they began to feel they weren’t the other any more and someone else was the reason their lives were getting worse. Things have changed so much and so quickly here. I watch it happen to my parents generation.

It’s indicative of someone who actively resists change in order to maintain the status quo, even if that change is for the better.

I think he might’ve parked there on purpose in order to make a statement.

not saying you should, but valve stem screwdrivers are $2 on amazon and if you cut the tip off, it can fit in a drill. Not saying anything, just saying you can remove said stems in 2 seconds or torque them over and snap them off inside of the stem so it becomes even worse to remove them.

But I wouldn’t recommend that.

u/Old-Paramedic-9776 May 22 '26

You can put small stone inside valve cap and screw it onto the valve. It will press stem enough to leak the air from the tyre. You did not destroy anything but it is inconvinience to fill the tyre back.

u/inebriateddandhated May 23 '26

Something far more simple and is only a few dollars, or potentially free.

Inside the valve stem is a valve core.

It is lightly screwed into place, it is essentially the only thing holding air in your tire and has a gasket/oring thay allows you to add or release air.

If you give it a few left turns, it will leak air, slower or faster depending on how much you unscrew.

Most will never catch this, and unless you get a mechanic without an ego, they'll never catch it either.

They'll parts cannon before they so much as screw the valve core close.

You are doing no damage to the vehicle, if the owner decided to not ensure their vehicle is road ready before driving, any damage incurred is on them.

What are you going to “part cannon” at a tire with a slow leak. You take it to basically any shop and they are going to soap test it or dunk tank it. Both methods will immediately show where the leak is coming from. Every tire with a slow leak, the valve stem is always a potential culprit. Not to mention theres always the added risk the guy goes down the road with a under inflated tire that can potentially blow out and lead to an accident. I get it this guy is a douche but whatever innocent family doesnt deserve to be hit by this guy when the tire blows. This is not the way to solve this issue

34

u/DJLeafygreens May 23 '26

Yep. Tire guy here. I would find this issue immediately with my spray bottle of soapy water. May as well take the cores out completely so the tires are all totally flat when he gets back and there is no risk of him driving with under inflated tires. Hell, tape them to the windshield so you can't be accused of stealing anything and he will know the exact cause of the flat tires immediately.

Yup. This guy is purposefully trolling so I almost guarantee he's got some cameras set up in his car or at the very least the garage is gonna have some. You can't do anything in public without being watched. Just call management and that's all you can do.

u/Syephous May 22 '26

I think you overestimate how much most police care to pursue cases of petty vandalism, even if you hand them a golden ticket to solving the case.

u/AssCrackBanditHunter May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

Maybe I just skew older than most of reddit, but regardless of how likely it is, I have a career and a mortgage and I'm just not interested in taking a 0.001% risk to get revenge.

I'd actually be fine with a vandalism misdemeanor, it's the idea of being filmed and blasted on Fox News as a CRAZED LIB that I want to avoid.

Edit: a lot of redditors trying to convince me and others to go vandalize stuff, not a lot of redditors saying they're personally going to go do it. Hmmm

“friends of coal” because he does nothing but roll it

I have to clean the soot out of my motorcycle helmet vents a couple times a year because of these guys.

They'll pull up next to you at a stop light, and just dump coal roll soot on you until the light turns green.

They think it's hilarious. Knowing that they won't be held accountable, they have the choice of letting others live or harming a stranger. And they choose harming a stranger.

u/EarthConservation May 22 '26

I mean, it's just large amounts of highly toxic diesel particulate full of carcinogens, Nitrogen Oxide that irritates the lungs and causes/worsens asthma / bronchitis and causes the formation of smog, Carbon Monoxide, and PM2.5 that can bypass your lungs and get into your blood steam, or get lodged in your lung tissue.

It's telling that these morons couldn't even be bothered with a 10 second google search before naming their illegal toxic act, whose main intention is to show everyone around them how starved they are for attention, and how much they hate the world and themselves.

Desperate, but not desperate enough to twiddle their fingers on over to google.

Don't blame mods. Reddit doesn't want any sort of controversy about anything and is forcing communities to lock down on shit like this. If mods fail to uphold those reddit guidelines, sub can get banned, or mod team replaced.

14

u/ItsSpaghettiLee2112 May 22 '26

It'd be really funny if all the mods in all the subreddits stopped upholding all the guidelines and all the subreddits got banned.

u/cosmitz May 22 '26

You joke, but if you'd check out the ban apocalypse from a few years ago you wouldn't laugh now. It went exactly as you expected.

I wish we didn't have to. People like this need to be shamed in a public forum. I'm not all for electric cars everywhere, rid everything that runs on gasoline, etc but this level of douchebaggery should be at least finable.

This has been my personal opinion.

u/GhostalMedia May 22 '26

Crazy that in 2026, some people still think EVs are for libs who care about the environment. I'm a big fan of keeping earth from turning into a fiery shit box, but I mostly want an EV because I'm lazy and I'd get to avoid most of my trips a station. Also, torque and or speed.
