    Crazy Home Depot Customer

    I received this in email this morning; no idea if it really is "real." For those in other countries, Home Depot is a store for DIY!

    Home Depot customer

    My Friends, I give you


    THE DUMBEST GUY ON EARTH!

    This picture is real - not doctored in any way - and was taken by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went to buy a camera to take pictures.



    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 Home Depot. Their 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.

    Don't know if that's real or a photoshop, but I've seen some amazing attempts at loading.

    Plywood stacked on top of a car going down the highway with the wood attempting to fly off of the roof, a sofa, 2x4's sticking out of both front windows of a car with the "driver" sitting in the middle of the front seat trying to drive, it's amazing the lengths people will go to, especially considering that most Lowe's and Home Despot stores have trucks you can rent for cheap to move oversize items.

    The best on I've seen is someone loading a large picture window onto the roof of a car. (resting on the glass with the window frame sticking out on all 4 sides) Anyone want to place bets on what kind of shape it was in when they went to install it?

    This picture and story are REAL and definitelly NOT a hoax! You've seen it floating around for 5 years because this incident took place in 2002. Check out the website below to view further amateur photos of this vehicle
