should be asleep but instead i'm up thinking about how one time a couple years ago my parents were having lawnwork done and i was sitting in my then-new city car hacking the console (as one does), and the landscaping guy (who i've NEVER talked to before) was like "hey i heard you got a new car" and i, sitting in my new car, was like "...yeah?" and he was like "why didn't you get a pickup truck"

now what i said was "iunno" and the conversation ended there. but nearly three years later i'm deadass googling why people buy pickup trucks cuz i can't think of a good reason to get one let alone for someone to ask why I don't have one. like idk man why WOULD i get a pickup truck? i don't haul shit, i don't tow shit, i don't plow shit, and i certainly don't drive anywhere that isn't a fuckin road. give me a couple seats and a half decent trunk and i'm good.

but more pertinently, what kind of life do you have to live where the numero uno thing on your mind when someone—ESPECIALLY someone you don't know—gets a car is "is it a pickup truck, and if not, why the fuck not"? i need to talk to that guy again and find out what his deal is cuz i can't even begin to wrap my head around this.
