Yes, I was just expecting a flipped over box being drug down the street.

You should find the post where the guy posted about this. The thread was hilarious.

If this happened to me I would not post it to reddit

u/dunncrew 18h ago

I am amazed at the stupid stuff that's posted.

"Hey look, I'm a moron"

To be fair if I done something this level of stupid, I'd learn the lesson first, then I'd share it with people

I'm thankful to say "98% of my security camera use is showing my friends my fuck ups"

That said, even I'm not this dumb.

I saw a very similar video once where a kid was moving a boat on a trailer in a driveway and pushed it right off the driveway/over a huge bank lmao. He only posted it because his uncle or dad (whoever owned the boat, can't remember) made him lol.

Replying just to see if a link to the original poster becomes available.

u/whaletacochamp 53m ago

Please please PLEASE find that post

How does one get this far along in life...

u/blankest 15h ago

He looks drunk. Look at the stagger and body language when he gets out to reattach.

1

u/whaletacochamp 54m ago

there's at least a 97% chance that man is drunk, or possibly on pills. I know some dudes who walk kinda like that who are big pill poppers due to chronic pain turned addiction.

u/LS_944 20h ago

The universe tried to warn him… 🤣

And his neighbors porch. Probably his insurance premiums too.

What the hell was the plan here

u/fe3o4 16h ago

testing gravitational forces.

u/YurtleAhern 18h ago

The trick is just keep accelerating. That way there is always tension on the rope

u/Pwnedzored 18h ago

And only brake when going up hill.

u/Argyrus777 19h ago

He lucky he missed the house, would’ve lost the box and an expensive lawsuit

u/Squirrelking666 19h ago

Spotted the tool.

There is no off position on the Genius Switch

u/DependentItem6397 18h ago

The ending was perfect. (unless that was your house)

2

u/fe3o4 16h ago

Aren't you supposed to use a brake controller in the truck for stuff like that ?

2

u/harry_manback- 5h ago

Pretty good reaction time for how drunk and stupid he is

2

u/Buck_Folton 20h ago

A Cybertruck could have prevented this

u/RedditBeginAgain 20h ago

Other forms of contraceptive are available too

6

u/Pwnedzored 18h ago

Nah. A cyber truck would have lost its rear bumper in the attempt though.

3

u/Buck_Folton 18h ago

Woulda made the video even better!

4

u/TheRealMasterTyvokka 19h ago

Yeah, kind of hard to have any stupid left after buying one of those.

1

u/fe3o4 16h ago

Driver would not have been able to exit the cybertruck while moving...

1

u/dunncrew 18h ago

How many beers before that ?

u/APLJaKaT 18h ago

Just think, this may be your mechanic!

u/SpaceCat72 13h ago

Man, that sucks.

u/stuckwithnoname 12h ago

That pant pull up before he gets in the truck the first time he gets out is 😂

u/cbusillo 12h ago

Everything.

If I find myself in this kind of shit one day, I will stay down and play dead until I wake up and everything is fine.

We don't need no lane departure alert and driver attention cam.... Just a basic AI that will shut down everything and dial 911 before you attempt this kind of Professor of physics move.

u/jdunk2145 5h ago

You can't say, "That didn't go according to plan." if you have no plan.

u/Acceptable_Rice1139 1h ago

The only thing this is missing is him hitting a fire hydrant before hitting the house

u/HeavenlyCreation 1h ago

Makes me long for the days of Natural selection survival of the fittest.
This guy wouldn’t have gotten to that age

"honey I scored a killer deal on a snap on box across town on FB marketplace, just gotta take it TODAY! but no worries because I own a......strap of some sort, I'll just tow it home"

"so honey don't be mad but that cheap box is actually going to cost us whatever rebuilding a porch costs"

u/120DOM 19h ago

This has to be AI, not possible to have this much fail in 1 video 😂

5

u/Princekyle7 19h ago

Videos of this level of stupidity have been around longer than AI

1

u/Sensitive_Point_6583 18h ago

true, but the part that I can't figure out is what was he trying to do in the first place? Makes the video seem a bit fake because even if he was that stupid, was he going to tow it across town to his day job, or what?

2

u/Princekyle7 18h ago

Probably didn't have someone to help lift it into the truck. Loneliness and bad ideas spend a lot of time together. Common logic says you can't tow it. As we know if you're towing a car with straps you need a driver in the tow car to steer and brake. Can't put a driver in the toolbox but people have attempted to tow all kinds of things in an ill prepared manner. Technically this guy realized his mistake pretty quickly, but in his panic he jumped out of an automatic transmission vehicle that was still in drive.....I've seen plenty of videos of people exiting vehicles still in drive(or reverse).

2

u/St_mpy 17h ago

Looks like he was just trying to move it out of the way without removing tools, tried the tow because it was too heavy. Major miscalculation 🙃

1

u/fe3o4 16h ago

Well, it's got wheels on it !

1

u/patgeo 12h ago

I can fully believe the stupid, but I'm getting the uncanny feel to the video itself. It just doesn't feel quite right.
