Well shit, another thing I gotta worry about. I had no idea my balls were being judged; I certainly hope they meet your approval:

Now, who is going to be the first to judge me because my dirty balls don’t meet their standards for cleanliness?

I took it to mean: why have the hitch installed, clean & shiny, if you've never used it?

I've got a solid shank drawbar in our Expedition, it stays in the cargo storage under the floor, rather than installed, since we rarely tow anything.

My hitch sits in the tool well under the rear seat of my truck except when I tow.

It's zero trouble to not be an anonymous dick to someone I likely will never encounter.

And I typically park away from other vehicles.

It’s a sidewalk, not a curb. And people with crutches and wheelchairs (and their supporting families) would like to use it as such.

My feelings as well. Keep the sidewalk clear for pedestrians.

The big tail pipe is a tell for someone who likes to roll coal. That I can't stand.

I drive a full size GMC. I park at the very red end of the parking lot just to avoid that type of parking. Clearly deliberate.

Yeah, some of the trucks where I work have an overhang of 8' from the dual axle to the bumper.

The guy who designed the parking lots thinks everybody drives a Civic.

It doesn't always work out, but worst case, I can shut down a lane of traffic and leave the truck there instead.

During our travels recently, saw an obvious work truck with one of those 4-way hitches, well worn, not a spot of chrome on the whole thing. I said, "Damn, I'd like to meet her!" Wife didn't get it at first, then she got miffed lol.

There are a few places that I park at that are extremely tight. I drive a super crew with a short bed. There is only 1 spot that I do park in that does put my hitch over and onto the sidewalk. I use a traffic cone.
by the hitch. It is a small cheap one, but it works. God knows I have enough dings on my shins from me bumping the hitch myself.

Exactly. It’s just another front, fugazi, fake, bullshit thing. Along with the coffee can exhaust and lift kit, big ass tires, and the thing has never seen an inch of dirt or anything else. Such a joke.

Only 1 white truck doing that would be a huge fucking improvement.

Houston is the oil & gas capitol of the Western Hemisphere, and EVERY oil & gas consultant and every oil & gas contractor has stereotype row in their parking lot. White truck after white truck backed in parked so the rear axle touches the curb, and every one of them has a trailer hitch installed and the ball is perfectly shined. There will be an entire 100 to 150 ft long stretch of sidewalk that is unusable thanks to stereotype row. The white pick-up drivers also easy to spot once inside because they all wear starched, untucked shirts and strut around like peacocks.

I typically park out in the boonies, because I'm not afraid to walk and it's actually good for me. But sometimes that's not an option because some lots don't have "boonies". In this particular case, I'd have to choose overhanging the sidewalk or sticking way out in the road. I'd pick the sidewalk. People can take half a step to the side. It's not that hard.

Oh, and I'm 6'5" 195, but I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

How do people in a wheelchair do that? Sidewalks have to be a certain width for a reason.

Wheelchairs steer. Looking at that picture, there's plenty of room on that sidewalk for a wheelchair to fit between that hitch and the window. If a sidewalk was so narrow that one wouldn't fit I'd park somewhere else, or cheat out the road side of the stall enough to leave enough room. But most, like this one, are plenty wide.
