It's one of those fres~~h~~nel lenses you glue to your rear window to act as a fisheye lens. It's actually surprisingly good. I can see the ground about 1.5m (5ft) behind me. I wish it would reach my rear bumper as that's what I'd like to see but this helps!

Also, I took the picture with a poor man's smartphone - my apologies.

This is better than the time I called myself on FaceTime and stuck one phone on the back of my truck so I could hook up a trailer by myself

I do that all the time with my work and my private phone for exactly that 🤷

I did the same thing to properly align a door sensor and the magnet inside my pantry.

How did you have two phones if you were by yourself?

I was within range of my WiFi so I had an iPad in the cab

Workphone and not-work phone?

Main-life phone and secret-life phone?

That's hilarious

Amazing. I'd have gotten out a million times and worn out the handbrake in the process.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
