Evidence that people sometimes just don't think about what they're doing.

I am laughing so very hard, I hope I can type this. Someone sent me this picture in email. Make sure you check out the picture or this won't make sense to you.
The story in the email says that this is a real unedited picture. It was taken by a man who is a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for a renovation supply company.
Directly quoted from the email: "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 [the store and] the 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."
As I stated in the title, people sometimes just don't think about what they are doing!

This is very interesting. I have hauled somethings that I probualy shouldnt have with my exployer but nothing that would cause this to happen. The worst I ever did was get a couch from big lots about 40 minutes away and the hatch wouldnt shut so I had to tie it shut the only problem was it was the middle of winter and it was acually the coldest day of the winter. i drove home with the cold air coming in for 40 minutes LOL

This is so crazy. Like you said some people just don't think. I would like to know what was going through this guys mind when he loaded all this onto his car. Like someone else said they guess he didn't want to pay the delivery fee. I think I could have found a family member or a friend who had a truck to come with me or something. Thanks for the laugh, and have a great day.

Dear me..I'm shaking my head in disbelief! I think the customer was thinking. I bet he was thinking "Hey I'll save $20 in delivery fees if i take all this home myself!" I guess his little episode cost him more than a delivery fee in the end what with having to buy new tyres and fixing the floor board up! Yep some people are touched in the head..
