Sarah Adams captured a Masshole in his natural element on 128 in Peabody today: Driving into a thunderstorm in a pickup packed like that.

The Ladder
It has issues written all over it.
Doh!
Carrying the ladder like that, aside from being dangerous, can't be legal.
He's just doing his job!!!
<insert Masshole excuse>
98% chance
the ladder is covering up a New Hampshire license plate.
Someone needs a physics
Someone needs a physics lesson. Ladder or not, you're safe in a metal vehicle. Anyone who has been to the Museum of Science Hall of Electricity show could tell you that.
Not to mention that metal
Not to mention that metal does not attract lightning per se, if that's what this is getting at. He'd have to be the highest point around to be much of a point-source problem for building a charge.
Lightning doesn't always strike the highest point
At least it didn't near Prospect Hill in Somerville two weeks ago, when it hit the *lowest* house in the immediate neighborhood and burned a friend out of her home.
Yeah, I know
I've been to that show a few times (out-of-town relatives and all). I was just assuming he had a half-full gas can in the back there as well.
I hope the photographer was
I hope the photographer was in the passenger seat, or else she was being at least as foolish as the ladder guy.
Yep, she was in the passenger seat
I cropped her photo to better show off the truck, but the original photo shows part of the inspection sticker.
Darwinism in action! Just
Darwinism in action! Just like Mem Drive on Labor Day!
Co-Massholes, I think
So the boob thought it was such a big deal she needed to take the picture, but she doesn't have the brains to call the state police? I wonder how the dumb-ass would have felt if she later read about the ladder causing an accident
Yep..
Clearly the photographer's the idiot, not the moron endangering everyone's lives. Tenfortyseven, I'd love to meet the doc who lobotomized you.
The mother of my child was
The mother of my child was driving down the highway when something improperly secured flew off a truck, hit her car, and nearly killed her. Fortunately for her other motorists stopped to assist her and still others got the trucks information and reported it (i.e. got involved) and the driver was cited.
But you suggest it's better to just take pictures, post them on line, and call the people names. Way to go!
Are you a republican by any chance?
That's exactly what I suggest
This man's behavior suggests a pattern of dangerous and negligent behavior when it comes to the tools of his trade. By taking a picture and posting it, the person in the other car is making that known to authorities, customers of his contracting business and others. Doing such a thing holds him accountable and, in the right hands, will prevent an incident similar to what happened to your wife before it happens.
It's called being proactive. Besides, how do you know this person didn't show this photo to the proper authorities? I know: LO-BOT-O-MAY! LO-BOT-O-MAY! LO-BOT-O-MAY!
P.S. Nobody called you a name. i just suggested you were lobotomized. Applying your online photo standard, I demand you show evidence to the contrary.
P.P.S. I'm surprised you're so easily offended. One would think you wouldn't catch the vapors so easily given your handling and outright trolling of others on this site (Swirly, for one).
the fact that you injected politics into this is sad
BTW, I call the mother of MY child "my wife".
I think the preferred nomenclature
is "baby mama".
While I don't like name calling of any kind...
Your reply: "But you suggest it's better to just take pictures, post them on line, and call the people names. Way to go!"
If I read your first post correctly you called the person who took the picture a "boob" and a "dumb-ass" and tacked on "she doesn't have the brains" in good measure.
Am I missing something here?
Boob? Dumb-ass? Is that what
Boob? Dumb-ass? Is that what you call your wife, moron? Get a life.
