Default THE DUMBEST GUY ON EARTH

My Friends, I give you

THE DUMBEST GUY ON EARTH!

This picture is real - not doctored in any way - and was taken by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went to buy a camera to take pictures.

The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust.

The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the load! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they made the customer sign a waiver.

While the plywood and 2X4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains are you ready for this? 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each.

They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the rear shocks were driven through the floorboard.

And these people VOTE

Default Hey,

I work at Home Depot part time. That is very possible, it isnt up to us to tell the customer what they can or can not haul. Once they get to a certain level of which the employee thinks it is enough we cant tell them to stop but we are required to have them sign a waiver taking it into there own hands. I personally would have called the DOT or police after he left the parking lot.

Seen this at the local Lowes. Some Bright immigrant decided that a late 80's 2wd toyota could carry a pallet of concrete. I saw him after he had gone back in to get a cab of fix a flat to try and inflate the blown out rear tires.

All I could do was laugh.:pc:
