For a second I was playing with the thought: what if this was done for an actual reason? Like, you don't have a garage, a huge storm is coming, and you don't want your quad to be blown into someone's bathroom. Plus, it makes the car heavier as well, so it's two birds with one stone. But there's nothing else I could think of (provided it's not a moron).

I would love to know the actual story behind this picture. It probably is something logical, but we have zero context to understand what it could be.

If you don't tell them you're a sociopath.

Did he slap it and say that ain't going nowhere?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Without know this we don't have enough context to assess the situation

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Let's see how this turns out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

If you tell them they're only going to do something equally or more stupid in the future. If you don't they will learn their lesson, albeit the hard way.

I may not be a great candidate for parenthood...

If the owner is a known jagoff, I would watch.

This is how "If it ain't broke don't fix it" feels like.

Yet, it ain't broke yet.

I would tell them. Because I’d want someone to tell me before I do something extremely stupid that is also extremely expensive.

Now if they decide not to listen, then I’ll grab the popcorn. At least then my conscience would be clear.

I have learned in my life that the more I just tell people the answer the fewer opportunities they have for learning. Much of my knowledge comes from personal exploration and knowing when I need to ask for help and I’ve decided that I need to allow others to do that, too, and if I don’t I’m just taking that from them.

In this case they’d probably get a “you sure about that?” and that’d be the end of it. They’re only going to hurt themselves, it’s not like they’ll get anywhere far, so this is a great chance for some learning.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I get that. And for the most part, I’m right there with you. But I also believe that there are some things that don’t need to be learned the hard way. And personally, I’m kinda sick of learning everything the hard way. Sometimes people just need a bone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Sometimes yea! Tying a hold-down strap to your wheel is a lesson they clearly need to learn the hard way, though, I mean goddamn. Look, I’m still a largely helpful person and boy am I a yapper, which helps, but some people need more than a bone. I can’t speak for this guy but some people have also been told before several times and clearly need a stronger lesson(my roommate moving in with their partner in August, for example, who’s a fuckin’ mess in several ways(but we are still friends)).

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Me too. In fact it really should say, "You could tell him... or you could just be an asshole."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Depends on what stickers he has on the back of id tell him

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

what?? fuck you, you're not supposed to be a good person, you asshole!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ironically, it sometimes feels like people react this way when you try to be nice.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

yeah empathy is in short supply, especially when there's content to make

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

A cheap stealing prevention system.

Is this what it's like being a Canadian watching America right now?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Canada really isn't that much better.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Well, everybody told them. Many times. And also pointed and laughed.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Then they got mad that people were laughing at them and started throwing sieg heils and slurs while waving a gun.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 3 days ago

Also this one

Tow arrives and hooks up to the truck from the back and nothing happens.
