Just saw that. Was it really tied to the frame or the bumper?? How on earth could they mistake the two.. last time I checked the bumper doesn't have a hook to attach to.

All those guys hanging around, you'd think that ONE of them would think "hmm...the bumper just visibly pulled outwards a bit. Perhaps we shouldn't keep pulling like this?". Man. Gotta wonder how much THAT little repair costed. And how much the guys insurance agent laughed...

That was hilarious!

To start with, just get a shovel and remove the snow from the front of the car and you probably drive right off there.

But to yank it by attaching a rope to a corner of the car, then pulling it against the snowbank and basically using it as a plow, they got exactly what they deserved.

Exactly those guys could done a little shoveling and pushed it out in 5 minutes, but nooooooo.....

Oh, well it provided entertainment for the rest of us

Stuck car? No way. A dry driveway, not into the snow very far, and several guys to push? Getting unstuck is a no-brainer. We do this all the time in Minnesota. How would he have gotten into the situation in the first place? Smells funny .....

...hmmm we've got about 8 guys here... I'll bet we could push it out ourselves.

I'm trying to see what state those plates are... if it's a state that doesn't normally get snow.. then I might cut them a little slack for being ignorant... but not much.

I got a good laugh at it when I saw it yesterday.

Those guys are idiots and the guy driving the truck was being a jerk. He was more interested in showing off his truck than genuinly helping the guys. But, they are still idiots for standing around and watching it happen.

Those are Maryland tags. We got some real snow here Sunday night, but they're still mor-asses.

Too lazy to dig/push a rice eater out of a small pile of snow, that's strike 1.
A tow rope tied to the bumper rather than the frame, strike 2 !
Continue to pull car after bumper shows signs of movement, strike 3 !

Paging Mr. Darwin, I have some people you need to meet ! :rolleyes

 

[Steve_Tk]

LewB you read my mind. Darwinism in effect.

 

[Francois Caron]

That was truly a Matrix Reloaded moment.

 

[DaveF]

I think it was a setup. Why would they be recording it?

 

[Rob Lutter]

What a bunch of lazy bastards... they could have probably just driven forward and gotten out of it anyways! That or get a shovel.

 

[Michael Caicedo]

What lurks deep in the heart of men that makes them laugh at one another's misfortunes?

 

[Travis Hedger]

The peeling sound was very satisfying, I also loved the instant replays and slomo.

 

[Andrew_Sch]

What a proud moment for Marylanders.:frowning:

 

[Bill Williams]

Good golly, how dumb were those guys? I can't stop laughing at that faux pas!

 

[Malcolm R]

Probably so. No one seemed overly upset about the results either.
