okay guys...biggest pet peeve at car shows

every show i go to with the lil red express, theres always one in the crowd that says yup, used to have one identical to that but mine was green, black, blue, pink or any damn color but red.
Why is it that when people stop and talk near a truck at a show they have to lean over the tailgate and put their feet up on the bumper (which i had rechomed at a cost of 400 bucks!)
