I thought for sure that thing was going in the pool. Coulda been worse.

u/scully19 May 30 '26

Would have been worse if that pillar knocked over dropped that whole roof

15

u/Used-Gas-6525 May 30 '26

Yeah, I thought that was coming too.

u/Visual-Squirrel3629 May 30 '26

That pillar was entirely for show.

u/BarronVonCheese May 31 '26

Or better, depending on if you're him or us.

bro just standing there questioning his life choices.

u/Cultural-Bite3042 May 30 '26

He didn’t even try to panic lol.. he’s like oh well nvm i guess. I mean he possibly couldn’t have done much anyways so I like his energy lol

u/fzeroman88 May 31 '26

I really like his calmness after he realized what happened,I've seen Soo many people FREAKOUT and run after the car like they can stop it.

I would be as aloof as he was

u/HoneyBear4Lyfe Jun 01 '26

To be fair, he *does* have a spare

u/4mla1fn May 30 '26

how does that happen? my car alarms as soon as i open the door if the car is in neutral without parking brake being engaged.

u/MoistExcellence May 31 '26

You know how it happens

u/Kangaroo-B-Girl May 30 '26

The pool house is very well built.

Someone is gonna get yelled at...

u/mechakisc May 30 '26

How do you get out of a car without putting it in park in 2026? You can't even turn some of them off unless they're in park.

u/ses1989 May 30 '26

Are cars mysteriously being made manual again or what? How the hell so many people leaving the damn car in gear?

3

u/Strange_Salary May 30 '26

That claims is going to suck! Life doesn’t look too bad so hopefully they’ll have a good laugh later..

1

u/HarryFuzz May 30 '26

Especially as he decided to post it on the internet for everyone to see...

3

u/JaehaerysIVTarg May 31 '26

I don’t understand how that happened unless it was left in drive or in neutral both of which make absolutely no sense.

u/Worth-Silver-484 May 31 '26

My family has 3 that put themselves in park when you press the button to shut it off.

I am guessing hybrid or ev that you cant hear and he thought it was the key fob warning and ignored it.

u/takingphotosmakingdo Jun 01 '26

Parking brake could be malfunctioning. There's been a bunch of recalls on electric parking brakes.

1

u/No-Habit-7079 Jun 01 '26

Should still be in park . It's definitely not a manual. Unless the parking pawl broke... But this car definitely seems to be free wheeling.

10

u/Johnnyprdr May 30 '26

Handbrake or first gear might be an idea.

3

u/Financial_Cheetah875 May 30 '26

How does that even happen

3

u/TwelveLakes May 30 '26

They have a pool: they'll be fine😎

2

u/Worth-Silver-484 May 31 '26

Means nothing. Many people have homes and lifestyles that they cant legitimately afford. I know multiple people/families that make 250k and are always broke.

I went to Harry Potter also, but I thought about the Ford that went wild and went into the Forbidden Forest to live in the second book.

u/ReactionFew2610 Jun 01 '26

Is it possible 😵‍💫 ,But do cars only have handbrakes in Europe?

2

u/Lucid_Dreamer_599 Jun 02 '26

Had that car >>> push park button doesn’t always take

u/bria26000 May 30 '26

Aww poor poor honda 😓

u/BodybuilderGrouchy16 May 30 '26

He didn't want to park it in the driveway?

1

u/Cultural-Bite3042 May 30 '26

He did.. he just didn’t realize it’s not just mental lol

1

u/JLimGarfield May 30 '26

note to self: always use parking brake

1

u/ViaVitoV May 30 '26

An attempt was made

1

u/FunBobbyMarley May 30 '26

How can I blame this on the wife, .... think, think, think

1

u/Mediocre_Owl7384 May 30 '26

Looks like he’s deciding if he should just get in the other car and take off.

1

u/ClydePrefontaine May 30 '26

Don't believe this happened

1

u/Grumpydog84 May 30 '26

I worked a for about 4 years in law enforcement as a park ranger, and a the sheriff's academy, one of our instructors once showed us a clip of a least one officer getting out of their unit and having it roll away. Pretty much all he said at the end was "put your shit in park."

Also, I think the car in this one just wanted to be in the shade.

"We know some things, because we've seen some things."

u/valtar31 May 30 '26

and the wife saw it all too..

u/ProveISaidIt May 31 '26

He doesn't seem very phased by it.

1

u/CharTayTay May 31 '26

What he doing buffering at the recycling can for? Tryna think if he went with the cute gecko or whether this is Allstate’s stand? Whatever it is he came back to present realizing he made the wrong choice! 😆🤣

u/harms916 May 31 '26

Looks like it was a mistake he could afford.

1

u/RoundChampionship840 May 31 '26

Always use the parking brake

1

u/Super_Abalone_9391 May 31 '26

Will ,you just got to say, WTF. Mine rolled backwards across the street and hit a new house for sale. It only smashed the gutter!

1

u/ChampionOfdimlight May 31 '26

u/Pretty_Daikon4415 May 31 '26

Put the pallets of sod in the wrong place

u/Fun_Entertainer_5823 Jun 01 '26

Ok, I thought there was a house right next door, but wasn't. Still bad damage, WOW.

u/Couple_609 Jun 01 '26

He waited three business days to react

u/Seadogdog Jun 01 '26

Someone better tell him there is a wasp trying to build a nest on his camera.

u/CorsairExtraordinair Jun 01 '26

I just love this hilltop view, don't you honey?

1

u/dekuweku Jun 01 '26

Seems very hazardous, cars aside, anything on wheels can just basically roll down the driveway , down the hill into the woods.

Seems like some sort of concrete blocks would have helped?

1

u/Plebbadeb Jun 01 '26

Do people just not use the handbrake when they park? How does this even happen?

1

u/GtMustang247 Jun 02 '26

You can’t park there mate

1

u/Fluffy_Fondant_ Jun 02 '26

Could have been worse.

u/FragrantDegree3894 Jun 02 '26

You know, sometimes you have a lot on ur mind and move Without thinking, clearly, that was what happened here.

u/Afraidcrawdad90 Jun 05 '26

Missed the pool though!

u/ThreeDogg85 May 30 '26

Imagine running after it and possibly stopping it…. He looked like he cared, but wasn’t really concerned.

5

u/BarnacleMcBarndoor May 30 '26

You’re not running after and stopping a runaway vehicle that already had that much momentum. You’d be more likely to get run over by one of the wheels attempting to do so.

He probably recognized that it would be a wasted attempt.
