ProTip: you can easily deflate a car's tires by placing a small pebble in the valve cap before screwing it back on

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 111 points 1 year ago

I used to condone this, but people are stupid and can drive on the flat tire until it explodes, potentially putting other peoples lives at risk.

Not worth it for some petty revenge.

[-] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 90 points 1 year ago

That's why you gotta do all four.

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can take hours to fully deflate, they could be on the Highway home by the time they go flat enough to be noticeable.

[-] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

Hmmm you seem to know a little too much about this lol

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe I’ve had someone have this happen to them and the tire exploded and hurt an innocent bystander. It’s a large world.

The possibility is there if you think for more than a few seconds on the possible consequences of something.

[-] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Or we're just having a little fun ribbing on the internet?

Didnt need life advice lol but thanks

[-] Drewelite@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

You might think that this is clearly a joke. That no one would actually do this. But you don't know how the people at the other keyboards are going to take it. Case in point.

[-] UserDoesNotExist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I know people that had this happen to them. They got lucky.

Some people are disgusting.

[-] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Sorry they lack commonsense then

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes… the vast majority of people lack common sense… hence why I had to make my comment condemning it…

People do actually do this you mook.

[-] hemmes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Must be one them them Beehaw users. /s

[-] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

I guess you could leave a sticky note on driver's window that says something like "oopsie woopsie I noticed your tires are deflated, this car is unsafe to drive :(". Also you could just unscrew the valve core to make sure tires deflate quickly.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

No no no, gotta be worse than that. Leave a note apologizing for the damage. There is no damage. They’ll be looking for hours

[-] confusedbytheBasics@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I like it. A note that says, "I thought I could squeeze in but there wasn't enough room. Sorry about the damage." Might make them reconsider doing this again.

[-] Ransom@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I had a student do that. Just a post-it note that said “Sorry for the damage :(“. It was a kid that I wouldn’t have expected to play a prank like that, too: very quiet and reserved.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

No, if you do all four insurance will cover it. Only do three.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

This is a myth. You can google it if you don’t believe me

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you have comprehensive coverage, this will be covered. If the damage is of less value than your deductible, you won’t receive any money.

[-] Pika@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've been told if you do all four insurance might be more apt to cover it, best to do one to three of them that way it might not be covered

[-] Rouxibeau@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's for knifing. There's no physical damage here.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

You're right. Better just pull the valve cores so they're obviously flat.

[-] sadreality@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

Direct action person right here... love it.

These people seem to forget the classic FAFO maxim, looks like they need to be reminded.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I keep a few screws in my car to prop up under the tires of people who park like this.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Good way to get shot by the owner

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago
[-] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

You think this vehicle is being driven anywhere else?

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

i suppose less common in other countries but not non-existent

[-] derf82@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Better yet, with a valve core removal tool, you can flatten them all in seconds and make it harder to fix.
