I really hope AI continues to have noticable failures. I have my doubts, but one can hope.

Same with IKEA, even though you can look up the exact box sizes online there are still people trying to fit sofas into a Fiat 500.

Dude I still try to fit everything into an overcrowded bus and carry it home from the bus station

~~`Plural of genre. Still should have been singular "genre" though, unless there are multiple genera of these images.~~

I was thinking of "genus".

Believe me, those folks with the small cars had a plan. They just got carried away. Always amazed at what I can get into my Yaris with a little creative thinking.

[–] _bcron@midwest.social 11 points 1 day ago

I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.

And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.

I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought "have I lost my mind" and had to go back in and return it right then and there

The accord driver 100% planned that out. Now if it was a good plan is up for debate.

Omg this was me when my dad and brother told me they’d strapped down studs in the back of my dad’s escort wagon. After taking the first turn I discovered that was a lie

The guy with a truck had a concept of a plan

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 67 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You all laugh, but one time I was young, dumb, and just did what people told me to do.

In this regard, I found myself pulling a grain auger on a much-too-small flat deck trailer. The trailer was maybe 10ft long by 6 ft wide, so we put one wheel of the grain auger on the deck, and one on the external tail light of the trailer which was relatively sturdy. 'are you sure this is a good idea?' 'fuck it, she'll go. Just go slow'

So I start driving. No immediate problems. Turns out that going down a major, winding hill at the 100 km posted speed limit is not a good idea with an awkward load. It's also a pretty interesting time to figure out that if you brake, you make the trailer sway worse. Hmm so speed up it is! Started at the top of the hill at about 90 km/hr and came out for it at about 120 km/hr. Lol.

And that's just one of the times I shoulda died! Whee.

This is also why I mentor the fuck out of any junior I work with. too many stories like this.

I've also got a story of other people saying "it'll be fine" while I should have been thinking for myself.

I used to be a garbage truck driver. I was sent to pick up a bin at some fishing club. It was at the end of a dead end road. I drove my truck to the end hoping there would be enough room to turn the truck around. Of course there wasn't. That's when I should've just decided to back out, but I didn't. I asked the members of that club if the garbage truck usually turns around or backs out. They said "sure you can turn it on the grass, they do that all the time".

So I started turning, one small moment later, I was stuck in the grass. My back wheels just kept slipping and digging in deeper. I putting gravel and wooden boards under the wheels, but nothing really worked. In the end we got like 6 of the fingers to push the truck (10.000+kg) out of the grass.... and they fucking did it! It took a little back and forth, but we managed to get the truck out with teamwork.

It was a pretty stupid decision of mine, but I learned from it. It was 10 years ago, but I still remember it well,because it was just and awesome experience of teamwork and humanity.

Once again the minivan heavy portfolio pays.

*The damage to the drywall was like that from the store it was 75% off and being used to make some patches and fill a small renovation.

I worked at home depot, and our manager made people sign a form before having a Hi-Lo load a pallet of floor tile into their truck because it would cause their suspension to bottom out. They'd do it, and drive off with zero leeway on their shocks.

We had one guy come in bragging about how his super-expensive hydraulic suspension could handle it. We loaded 2 pallets of tile into his truck bed. I bet he felt every little crack in the road driving to the job site.
