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.
Let me add one more: he's done this several times already which is the reason the kids added bricks in the first place.
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.
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.
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.
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.
FAFO
This. I hope whichever neighborhood group he posted this to told him in no uncertain terms.
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
The guy's page is full of trolling and rage bait. It's not serious
It still appeared serious enough to be upvoted by 700 people. I guess this speaks more on how the sanity of linkedin users is perceived than it speaks on the validity of the situation. And yeh, linkedin users are a bit fucked in the head.
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.
Reminds me of a short story.
"What's it for?" Princess asked.
"It's a lie detector," Cross said.
I enjoyed that story, thanks
This is why you don't ever drive on anything but clear road.
The roads I drive on are asphalt or concrete I've never driven on a clear one before.
I have. We call it black ice around here. Nasty stuff but sometimes you get a new car.
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
Assuming you can drive through any kind of obstacle already qualifies you as a moron. Even if it's just a cardboard box, you never know what's inside. Doing this and then acting all entitled qualifies you as a special kind of moron.
When I was a kid, I laughed at people swerving to avoid a paper bag. It seemed silly to me. My dad explained why they were doing it, and then chuckled as my eyes got huge and I said “OHHHH!”
There is a house near me that builds a snowman around their mailbox that is on a cemented in post. I would love to see someone freak out after smashing their car when they tried to destroy the snowman.
If you see a snowman just sitting somewhere and it's not in the road then it's on you for being a dick and going off-road to smash it.
What kind of psychopath purposefully runs over a snowman with their car to begin with?
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
Engagement bait.
I went and checked Facebook for notifications the other day and saw this exact post.
This is all over the place: Posts by people who are confidently wrong in some obvious way, just begging for some smart internet person to come set them straight and get their wimpy dopamine hit.
It is really enlightening, in a depressing way, to scroll mainstream social media like that and see the level of enshittification that people are conditioned to accept and keep scrolling through. It is so much worse than even ad-driven legacy media like live TV.
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
Fuck Cars the Snowman
was an angry vengeful soul
With a corncob pipe and some cinder blocks
to make drivers barrel roll
Reminds me of that dude that fashioned a concrete reinforced steel mailbox pole and got sued after paralysing a dude that hit it.
Homeowner won though.
Like a porch pirate complaining they got glitter all over themselves.
...but why did you hit a snowman in the first place? Funny how he doesn't mention that part.
This is actually very funny tho
A) I don’t believe this is real.
B) Back in the ‘70s, there was an article in National Lampoon where a guy liked to put a cinder block in a paper bag and watch people swerve to hit it.
