The guy’s page is full of trolling and rage bait. It’s not serious
I’m mad because a child’s creation caused damage to my newly bought, overpriced 2026 Redneck Sports Car™ and I’m going to resort to litigation! /s
The defendant has been found guilty. The plaintiff is awarded $4.37 to be paid directly from the defendants allowance over the course of the next year.
Something similar happened several years ago with a tree stump base:
Reminds me of a short story.
“What’s it for?” Princess asked.
“It’s a lie detector,” Cross said.
Funny
I enjoyed that story, thanks
So Mark Majeski purposefully crashed his car into a static object and blames someone else for the consequences of his own actions?
Great example of american values.
I’d be surprised if there were any legal consequences for something like this. It’s not a “booby trap” in the traditional sense where it poses a danger to legitimate visitors or emergency responders entering a property. It is a solid structure inside another (seemingly less solid) structure. You should already not be trying to ram into it. It poses zero risk to anyone that doesn’t already intent to maliciously destroy the apparently less solid structure.
And it plausibly helps support the snow. There is a legitimate purpose.
we have issues in the UK with something like this. if you pay road tax you can park anywhere that isn’t parking controlled, including outside peoples houses (so long as you’re not restricting their access to the highway). some homeowners started putting traffic cones out to “reserve” the spot outside their homes (you cant legally do this btw).
People would just push them out of the way with their cars so homeowners started filling them with concrete.
Putting one of those in the road absolutely can and does get you in trouble
Doesn’t it depend where the obstacle is, though? I’m assuming these are cars parking on the road, or at least a shoulder or driveway. If the cars are pulling up onto a front lawn and parking under the kitchen window of a house, that’s entirely different. I’m pretty sure filling a traffic cone with concrete and placing it in a path a car is expected to drive on is going to get you in trouble anywhere. I doubt building a snowman with a stump or concrete core in the middle of a lawn on private property would get you in trouble in most places.
It would be illegal for others to park if it was actually on the property people want to own the public road next to their property
Did they build this snowman in a roadway? If so, he has a case but “could’ve” (should’ve) avoided the obstacle… If the snowman was not built in a roadway: gtfo
What would make you think driving through a snowman is a good idea to begin with? You’d have to be driving through a yard or at least jumping a curb. Take the guy’s license away for reckless driving.
it’s a Mustang, it has to be satire
I’d hope so, but reality and satire are becoming indistinguishable.
Satire can be rearranged to spell “It’s Rea”. We are only missing the L.
saltire?
Satirical can be rearranged to spell “It’s racial”
Prolly cuz they took it
more importantly, you are going to damage your car even if the snowman is not reinforced. what moron would do that?
It’s the same people enjoying destroying mailboxes with their car.
Its why mailboxes destroying cars never gets old. My favorite are the ones where they know someone in the utility companies and put a whole ass telephone pole so far into the ground that only the top meter is above ground then mount a mailbox on it. You can wrap a whole snowplow around those!
Maybe they made tough snowman in the street?
My cousins used to live on a street with massive trees that dropped tons of leaves every autumn. The city would have special service days where everyone rakes the leaves into big piles in the street and street sweepers would come vacuum them up.
Hooligans liked the drive through the big piles in the middle of the night. I honestly kinda see the appeal, who could resist. Anyway, they started to doing the same thing. Piles of cinder blocks under some of them. I was staying with them one night and we heard some horrible carnage, came out to find some sedan high centered on a pile of cinder blocks with the bumper hanging off.
There was a news story some years back about a little girl who was killed when her father did this. She was playing in a pile of leaves and her dad was unaware of that. He drove through the pile of leaves and … yeah, that was that. :(
Trying to find the original news story, I’m finding multiple instances of this sort of thing happening. Which is even more heartbreaking.
Here’s the story.
What’s wild is it’s only one of several I found like this. People out there, train your kids to not lay in leaf piles AND not to drive through them.
Not the first shitty dad to kill their child and definitely not the last.
Having not heard the story, I wouldn’t call him a shitty dad. If he didn’t know she was under there it was an accident, I can’t imagine the pain of accidentally killing your daughter
When you drive through obstacles you can’t see through, you’re stupid.
Don’t do stupid things.
If you’re stupid enough to do things like that, it makes you the shitty kind of stupid because you don’t have the good sense to say “Hmn this vehicle is several thousand pounds of steel, and I can’t see what’s under or behind that leaf pile, I should probably not blast through it.”
I’m sure he felt awful and I wouldn’t wish that kind of pain and guilt on ANYONE. Which is why we need to condemn stupidity so people don’t get a social pass for avoiding getting smarter their entire lives. When we give social consequence for being dumb, it forces people to be smarter and fewer disasters like this happen.
You’re not born stupid, you just learn what you can get away with. You can make yourself more aware and smart with effort, but if we shrug and walk away from everyone who does something stupid, that pressure to get better starts to wane and people learn they can live life stupid without consequence.
I used to be more compassionate but I’ve since seen stupidity turn into a goddamn movement.
This rules.
This is good revenge. But what happens when the street sweepers come to pick them up?
They use blower vaccums I assume and large cinder blocks wouldn’t move anyway.
If someone died, that would be murder charges. Putting cinder blocks in the street under leaves is a boobytrap and those are usually illegal. What if it was an ambulance coming to pick up someone up next door? Or someone swerving to miss a cat?
I don’t think you’ll get far in court
I probably wouldn’t. But the paramedic crawling from the burning wreckage of an ambulance screaming “MY LEGS! I CAN"T FEEL MY LEGS!” probably would.
Get off your high horse Karen
It would be manslaughter for the stupid driver driving into something obscured that they can’t know is safe, at speed.
I’m not judging. I’m just telling you guys what would happen. So you probably don’t want to try this at home.
But you’re wrong Karen. What if a kid was playing in the leaves and they drove over them? The driver is at fault.
I urge you to talk to a lawyer before you try this stunt.
Tbf they’ll do neither, they just want to be angry and feel self righteous for a minute. They’ve probably forgotten about this convo already (or will soon). Sad really, I always assume things aren’t right at home for them, like playground bullies.
If you plow through a snowman with your car, you’re an asshole. If you do it with your brand new sports car, you’re a stupid asshole.
I’d have thought a snowman would do a fair bit of damage to a car anyway.
Let me add one more: he’s done this several times already which is the reason the kids added bricks in the first place.
Where are these snowmen situated?
Its like a honeypot for assholes.
Reminds me of my grandfather, these kids kept knocking his mailbox down with baseball bats. After the second time it was hit, he put up a new one filled with concrete. The very next morning there was half a wooden baseball bat on the ground and a dent in the mailbox. They never did it again.
I’ve heard basically the same story before from a local incident, but with the added bonus of the other side: they used a metal bat and the kid dislocated his arm and was almost pulled right out of the car.
Same type of person would drive through a pile of leaves not thinking if there were kids in it.
Even if it was just a snowman, that would damage your pretty car.
This was my thought, you don’t need cinder blocks in the way. Ice is hard and heavy, that shits gonna fuck up pretty much anything but a bulldozer or tank.
Fuck Cars, and asshole dickheads in particular who get thrills running over snowmen and scaring off cyclists and pedestrians. Deserves losing his braggart machine.
Even in case of a “usual” snowman, you can easily crack plastic bodyparts or dent metal ones. This is not GTA, where you just have to remember which items are breakable and which are not
A large pile of uncumpressed snow can fuck up a car. Compressed snow used to make a snow man? Yeah you’re smashing into basically a wall of ice.
Uncumpressed
I wanna be Cumpressed uwu
There’s a website you can order a cum press.
I’m honestly wondering if he made up the cinder block to try and make this someone else’s fault.
Good point. Hitting cinder blocks would probably leave scratches on the bumper, no? I don’t see any scratches in the photo.
Looking at that bumper, it really looks like the work of something soft but heavy.
Also notably absent: a picture of the cinder blocks.
Come to think of it, has anyone seen that guy and a cinder block in the same room together?
I can confirm that hitting large objects can sound like hitting straight concrete or cement. I hit a black bear one night when I was going about 70mph on the freeway. Would have sworn some truck lost a load of cinder blocks or something. There was at least one fur tuft on my car.
Oh no, was the bear okay? Tell me you saw him scamper off!
Fun fact if you hit a living animal in the road it would only be covered under comprehensive insurance. If you hit something like a bear, just to use a completely random animal, because that bear had already been hit by another car (possibly as little as mere minutes before), then it’s covered under collision insurance. Ask me how I know.
When you say “it,” do you mean repairs to the car or to the animal? Like, if I hit a dog, I’m certainly going to get it to a vet if I can, (although the owner would probably rather take it themselves than trust my driving) is my insurance going to pick up the vet bill?
Oh wait, we’d want more help to the dog than “slap a coat of paint on it.” I better just get out my credit card.
Not sure how a dog would be handled. Pretty sure it would fall under property, but might have some extra legalese around it. The it I was referring to in this case was the car. The bear was very unlikely to survive, but it did in fact scamper off. If you recall I said it sounded like I hit a bunch of cinder blocks. Well I got out and went back to try to see if the other driver was alright. Never saw anything in the road. The state troopers didn’t see anything either. The first driver that hit it said it must have been about a 500lb black bear.
It went to live at a farm upstate.
They took the body to central park (or whatever weird thing RFK did)
Look, I TOLD you what to tell me!
Its ok it scampered off! -source: I was the bear
Yeah I involuntarily hit a small boulder of snow on the road and it cracked the plastic of my front bumper
Unless the snowman was built in the road, the driver is at fault not the people that created the snowman.
I think the fact he doesn’t explicitly mention it is an admission that it wasn’t built on the road.
The “if I find out who did this” does bring that into question, though. If it was in front of a house it’d be very obvious who did it.
But given the vibes the car owner is giving off, it’s more likely it was in a park or field or the sidewalk next to a road, and he thought it’d be okay to hit it because there was almost no chance of the creator catching him.
Yeah I was guessing a park or something. Which means the “kids” might have spent considerable effort to get the cinder blocks there in the first place.
It makes one wonder how many times he’d done this before that they’d go to the trouble.
You could be right. Still, the asshole driver not knowing who to blame just makes it funnier.
He is to blame. He doesn’t know that indeed.
If the snowman was build on the road, the driver is at fault for driving carelessly, not paying attention.
Nobody else was hurt. Nobody else’s property was damaged. There is no one to be held liable.This guy drove into a snowman, regardless of where it was.
A static object that only moves in Christmas music.If it was a snowbank, same deal.
If it was a parked car, same deal.
If it was a fallen telephone/power pole, same deal.
If it was a pile of cinderblocks that fell off the back of a truck, same deal.The guy either wasn’t paying attention, or was being an asshole.
Either way, driving carelessly. Asshole is at faultYeah, even if it was in the road it could have been a kid dressed up in a snowman costume…
In a trench coat, sneaking into a PG-13 movie.
His car damaged the snowman and cinderblocks
That reminds me of the time during a huge snowstorm, we got about 3 feet of snow. Not safe for driving. But I went for a walk to my buddy’s house.
A bunch of college kids built a giant snow family in a four lane intersection of a major street. I cheered them on.
An hour later, I went back home to check. Those kids were taking apart the snow family. There were two cops behind them, supervising them.
What if there was a baby sitting and chilling in the snow man? Stay on the road, you dipshit, I recommend property seizure of this man and termination of driving license and perhaps an art course on snowmen and how to avoid driving over adventurous babies by staying on the fucking road and not being a piece of shit.
And $10K fine and put him on the sexual offender registration list.
That’s a lot of effort…just lock him away forever. He already admited to murdering a man.
Don’t be an ass trying to wreck some kid’s fun. Could just as well do the same if it melted and refroze a bit to turn it to ice. FAFO
Really. Just a small chunk of ice off a passing car or truck can do some serious damage. A whole ice/snowman? Might as well hit a tree.
So kids, use blocks of ice inside the snowman to reinforce everything. Ice can reasonably be expected inside of snow.
“But your Honor, there was ice in the snowman!”
Judge: “…”
FAFO
This. I hope whichever neighborhood group he posted this to told him in no uncertain terms.
