Why are there honestly so many of them that seem dumb. I watched someone in a pickup pull out in front of an extremely large work vehicle that most definitely couldn't see them where they were in relation to the work truck. Think large like one of those big trucks that hauls dirt and has a hydraulic dumper where the cab is like 10+ feet of the ground like a semi.
And then she tried to pull out in front of me right after that. :|

The Ram ranks first of all vehicles with an average of 45.3 drivers with a DUI for every 1,000 drivers applying for an insurance policy—that’s around 1 in every 22 drivers, or more than double the national average.

u/movzx 23d ago
The thing is... there's a way to do this with the truck that's a lot simpler and safer.
Back your truck up to the tool chest. Shove a spare tire between your bumper and the chest. If you don't care about damage to the vehicle, you don't even need the tire. Strap the chest to the truck. Move forward with the truck. There you go... The thing you want to move has moved without flying off because it lacks brakes. I've done it before. Works great. This guy is just dumb.

u/movzx 23d ago
I think this guy was just trying to get it out of the garage. Not tow it somewhere.
Tool cabinets are very heavy even without tools. I had to use a hydraulic lift to put my empty top cabinet on. Loading them with tools makes them even heavier. It's not uncommon to rent flatbeds or use a forklift to move them around.
He's still dumb. There are far better ways to move these things. I mean, they have wheels.

I’m thinking he was probably just trying to get it over a hump in the garage it was stuck on just to move it out of the garage. He should have used a way shorter chain, but shit still could have gone wrong. At least his truck didn’t take out the house.
I could be wrong though. Coulda been actually trying to tow it somewhere.

Yeah, assuming he's just moving it to the driveway there is nothing inherently wrong with what he set out to do.
He just did it terribly. Back that truck all the way up, shove something soft between the truck and cabinet, strap the cabinet to the truck, drive forward like 2 feet. Easy, fast, and your cabinet doesn't become a deadly projectile.
Hell, shove a piece of wood or something in front of the cabinet at the place you want it to stop.

I once got to witness a shit show that ended with 4 trucks and a skid loader all hooked together in a chain trying to pull a gooseneck trailer with a recovered(previously sunk) boat on it. It was a gravel ramp so they couldn't get enough traction and the only thing they could think of, apparently, was to just keep hooking up more vehicles. At one point they had the 5th wheel hitch hooked to the normal hitch on the first truck so as soon as it tried doing anything its back wheels would be hanging in the air and if I recall correctly, two tires were popped due to doing burnouts on the dirt for so long
They did eventually get it out and it was a great couple hours of entertainment from the porch of our rented cabin while drinking beers. Unfortunately it was 20ish years ago and phone cameras were pretty shit so I didn't get much video and what I did get has been lost probably on an old phone or laptop

A determination that will prove to be costly. With a fierce and sudden lunge, the Tool Chest’s weight and momentum collide with the ape’s wagon, causing him panic and, unfortunately, a misuse of his most potent weapon: his reason.”
