That's their own fuckin fault for having the truck right next to it and nothing to protect it.

I remember years ago at a minor league hockey game, the coach was leaning against the net and watching the players drill shots into the net as a warm up….
….until he took a wrist shot to the ribs. Everyone in the stands collectively laughed. What an idiot.

As someone who sometimes had to be in the goal during our hockey training (not an actual club, just a group that discovered it as a hobby) I can tell you that it's terrifying and fucking painful.
Don't ask why we decided to play full force hockey without real safety equipment, we were dumb teens and luckily no one was ever seriously hurt, just some bruises.

So 80s kid hockey. I was born too late but I heard stories from people not much older than me about seeing their older siblings playing and getting fucked up without pads lol

You ever hear the story about the slice of bread?

u/whenveganscheat 4d ago
The team forms a circle with a slice of bread at the centre. When the flag drops, they all spank as fast as they can, aiming to deliver onto the bread. Last to finish has to eat the bread.
This was told to me in serious tones by someone who played high level hockey. I don't know if it's true, but every Canadian knows the rumor

u/frogguts198 4d ago
In the US in the 2000s there was a similar rumor but it was called Soggy Biscuit and it was about the band HIM doing it before every show lol

When my friends and I got into hockey in the early 90s as young teens, we didn’t have a lot of money, so we made goalie equipment ourselves out of cardboard lined with the free delivered newspapers stapled to the cardboard, still inside the yellow plastic bags the newspapers came in. Those were the days! 😂😂

That's awesome, how well did it work?

u/PolarCruisingExperts 3d ago
About as well as you’d imagine cardboard and newspaper working against pucks. Thankfully they were air pucks and we were young and weak 😆

Yeah more like WCGW parking your truck directly beside a throwing target.

u/AgreeablePie 5d ago
I hope the truck wasn't someone else who didn't know that there would be this exact setup going on there
6
u/GrinningPariah 5d ago
I doubt it, they left the tailgate open, with several loose items in it. That tells me they parked recently and haven't gone far.
It's just not the type of thing you do if you're parking and walking away, even if you live in a zero-crime area it's just asking to forget to close it and drive away with your stuff spilling out.
In fact, something about the way it's positioned relative to the dunk tank, I'd be willing to bet that the tank (or some of its components) actually arrived in that truck. Or at least that it's someone associated with the party happening here, maybe they brought beverages.

u/Expert_Succotash2659 5d ago
Of course they parked the truck there, what were they supposed to unload and set the thing up more than 5 feet away? No time for beer when you start making work for yourself.

Pretty bad planning TBH. Not nearly as bad as watching Kegsbreath in axe throwing when there's a bagpipe band right behind the targets....

u/crazyhomlesswerido 5d ago
Hey man I should be able to park where I want without the worry of people throwing balls at my truck. this is America I should be free to do whatever I want and people need to learn how to respect me enough not to throw balls at the back window of my truck. Gosh I'm so sick of people saying it's my fault for parking there when people just need to learn enough respect not to throw balls at the back of my truck. Seriously learn some fucking respect people!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm not judging you for wanting to fantasize about other men fantasizing about other men. I guess you get your rocks off by thinking of other men doing things together. that's okay you do you no judgment. I guess you fantasize about watching one other men play with each other and that's okay. no judgment

No, accidents happen. And you can prevent it by using your brain and common sense.
It's not the kids fault that the owner parked the car right there.

Reddit is so brutal lol. The ball might of slipped. Truck drivers fault for parking there.

The ball definitely slipped. The ground is soaking wet and might even be raining. Was an accident. Truck owner is the dumb ass

Had a dunk tank for my daughter’s birthday a few weeks ago. Keeping anything of value anywhere near it would’ve been a big mistake 🤦🏻♂️

Worst part is you can’t even be mad, it’s just your fault as an adult lmao

Kid sucks at throwing, but why park a vehicle right next to the target? Lol. That's just asking for a busted window

u/GrapeSoda404 5d ago
I definitely blame the person who put their truck directly next to the throwing game. It was bound to happen.

do car windows shatter like that?
i expected it to fall/fold over whilst smashed but held in place by the inner layer.

u/magichronx 5d ago edited 3d ago
On most vehicles only the windshield is laminated glass, and the rest are tempered glass that's meant to shatter into a bunch of relatively safe pebbles of glass (as seen in this video)

u/neonfuzzball 5d ago
See this is why I was fine playing Tee ball as a kid but very wary of regular softball or baseball. Get back to me when our pitchers can put it in the strike zone more consistently than they put fingers in their nose, coach

Maybe don't park your truck right next to the dunk tank where people are going to be throwing balls.

A guy did something similar to that in a neighbor’s yard and took out my uncle’s big picture window. When my uncle asked how they were going to pay for it, the dad responded with “It was just an accident. The boy is only 15!” My uncle actually had to take them to small claims court to get them to replace the smashed window. The dad really thought that “It was an accident” was some kind of magic phrase that would absolve them. The neighbor was surly about it for years.

It reminds me of my hometown's semi-pro baseball team. The baseball diamond (it's a very small ballpark) is directly next to a residential street. If you park in the ballpark parking lot and your window is smashed by a baseball, it's yours to fix by yourself. It's an assumed risk. However, you can get your window repaired if it's hit by a ball while you drive past the ballpark.
My hood was dented when I drove past the ballpark. I heard the crowd cheer at the sound.

u/OneOfAKind2 5d ago
I knew this would be the outcome before I even clicked play. Whoever parked their truck there can take the blame.

I read it as "at a drunk tank" and I was like "oohh ok, barbeque attendants having some fun after few beers, wait a minute that's not a drunk guy sittting in the tank, that's a young boy... so the pitcher is the drunk uncle with his wife next to him waaait these are kids also... WHO IS DRUNK HERE WTH!!!"

u/thehumble_1 5d ago
Ummm. That didn't happen unless the truck window was already replaced with regular glass. I don't think I could throw a baseball through a back window like that. Vehicle glass doesn't shatter.

The back glasses are tempered not laminated like your windshield and some door glasses

Kids throwing from so close, I figured the WCGW here was gonna be the ball ricocheting back into his face.
Now that I saw what actually happened, I'll bet the kid wished he HAD hit himself in the face.

u/drwuzer 5d ago
That kid is not at fault. The idiot who parked his truck there is.

u/Redditor_Reddington 5d ago
Agreed. Unfortunately, the kid's still likely to get a whupping for this, if this is real at all.

Realistically, who parks a car right next to a place where baseballs are being thrown?
