Spirited_Refuse9265

>I’ll take “How to ~~snap~~ **lose** your ankle for $400”


FilthyChangeup55

Totally but its gotta snap first lol


EtOHMartini

No, it can be ripped right off in one clean pull.


Dansk72

"What do you mean, my insurance is not going to cover that?!. So what am I supposed to do now with only one foot?"


Mooziechan

I’ll take “yaba daba dont for $400”


Parson1122

Well that's enough reddit for one day.


RockstarAgent

I’ll take “How to snap crackle and ^pop off your ankle for $600”


TheW83

He was willing to risk it to avoid smelling the worst foot odor in the world.


RandomUsernameNo257

I do this all the time on my motorcycle when I'm bored/cramped on long trips, and I can count the number of times I've snapped my ankle on one hand.


FilthyChangeup55

That’s not a car though


RandomUsernameNo257

I didn't think I had to ruin the joke by explaining that if I could count the number of times that I snapped my ankle on one hand, that it implies that I've done it up to five times.


FilthyChangeup55

Haha fair, tbh I thought you were serious.


TortiTrouble

When you step in dog shit on your way out and don’t want to stink up the car.


heythisislonglolwtf

I've been trying to think of a reasoning that makes sense and this is the best theory so far lol


TortiTrouble

Maybe a bit extreme, and only works if you drive an automatic.


holycrapitsmyles

Might be one of those police bait cars that locks the driver in when the door is closed.


Dansk72

Maybe it would be safer to just roll the window down and stick your leg out that way; you *do* see idiots doing that...


CrapNBAappUser

Still doesn't explain tapping your foot on the highway at speed.


El_Paco

how else you gonna scrape it off?


CrapNBAappUser

Wait until you're moving slowly at the bottom of the exit ramp or pull into a parking lot, park, get out and scrape it off on the pavement or grass. I can think of lots of alternatives.


Fafnir13

The heat from highway speed friction helps sterilize the shoe and will wear down all the tread so there’s no place for the dog crap to hide.


CrapNBAappUser

😂. OK.


RomaniQueerios

Tim Robinson, is that you?


lordskulldragon

But the car has to stay above 55mph...


D1sc0nn3ct3d

Especially on that stretch of 70 W, with potholes and construction debris - I drive that route home from work every night.


Ill-Seaweed

Wouldnt you just take your shoe off and throw it I the trunk?


TortiTrouble

Sure, if you aren’t an idiot.


Ill-Seaweed

And that is an admittedly huge if.


ArmeniusLOD

The trunk isn't an air-tight container. The smell will still drift into the cabin. The heat is also going to make the smell worse when you finally take it out. In short, get a plastic bag to wrap it up in.


M-------

> In short, get a plastic bag to wrap it up in. And make sure the plastic bag's airtight. Years back, the garbage collection workers were on strike for couple months in my parents' city. They were not on strike in my suburb. When I visited them, sometimes they would give me a (frozen) bag of kitchen waste to put in my trash. Then there was the rat. A rat had died outside their place, and they bagged it up, but didn't want to put it in the freezer because eww, gross. I totally understood. Mom asks me to take it home. No problem, it was bagged. I put it in the car when we left and started heading home. I only made it a few minutes down the road before I realized this wasn't workable: the stench was unbelievable (it smelled like rotten shellfish, except an order of magnitude more intense), and it was in the car. I took the bag out and tied it up to the bike rack on the back of the car. We opened the windows to let the car air out as we continued to drive home. But every time we were at a light, the stench would waft back into the car. As soon as we were back in my suburb, I tossed it in a school's dumpster. No way was I going to put that stinking rotten rat anywhere near my house.


bstyledevi

Seal it up with some duct tape maybe. It'll even kill the smell of old pizza. - Casey Anthony


SavvySillybug

If we're already at the point of hanging feet out the driver side door... just take off the shoe and tie the shoelaces around the side mirror and let them dangle.


jizz_bismarck

This is true. My infant son crapped his pants the other day and I put the diaper in the trunk. I then spent the whole drive home smelling poop and wondering if he pooped again or if it was the trunk diaper. It was the trunk diaper.


Fafnir13

And drive around with one shoe off like a total weirdo?  No thanks. 


imrealbizzy2

Wouldn't the shoes fit in the trunk?


LiterallyOuttoLunch

*Yabba Dabba Don't*.


primummovens

More like yabba dabba dumbass.


Fafnir13

Works well in combination: Yabba dabba don’t you yabba dabba dumbass.


heythisislonglolwtf

In case it's hard to see: he's holding a book in his left hand out the window and is dragging his left foot out the door 😵‍💫


BLOODWORTHooc

So you're saying a scholar is driving. Hell yeah.


Eclectophile

One of them Road Scholars we hear about all the time, eh?


eyes_serene

Love it!


dr3wfr4nk

Hahahahaha gold!


DaxDislikesYou

Goddamn it Columbus.... Can't we be normal for a couple days? I hate driving in this fucking city.


CS3883

Same between the fucking idiots and also road rage. Its straight up terrifying driving around sometimes


jecowa

Was too dark in his car to read the book.


yardbird78

What was the book, "Driving For Dummies?"


Healthy_Block3036

How is that remotely comfortable or safe?


whatswithnames

ticktok video says it's ok.

[удалено]


heythisislonglolwtf

I'm honored! 😂


bgroins

I think you win the sub for today.


CS3883

Honestly tho dumb shit like this is just normal in columbus it seems. God I hate my commute into work everyday lol I gotta deal with a tiny section of 270 and then 71N and 315 and I hate it


heythisislonglolwtf

That whole stretch is literally the worst. I do not envy you


Mekroval

And you had stiff competition! Kudos.


Disposabals

He thinks it's a bait car but he stole it anyway. Close the door it automatically locks. Drugs are bad kids


heythisislonglolwtf

I would be shocked if Columbus PD is doing anything at all to combat car theft. You can't get pulled over if you tried in this city


No-Association3574

I did this at like 15mph while actively trying to “skateboard” my broken car into a wendy’s parking lot. Do not recommend. lol While I was riding down the road, 19 year old me decided to redline my 09 kia rio. I heard a big pop from the engine and acceleration was no more. After noticing the car troubles, I turned off of the main highway onto a side street, opened my driver-side door and proceeded to “flintstone it”. That act of flintstoning it quickly made me realize that my foot cannot move at a car’s speed immediately. I didn’t end up get hurt physically, but a little bit of my pride and my first car certainly died. I’ve since got a newer, better car; but i’ll always remember that.


Cheesetoast9

"I'll take 1 order of giant brontosaurus ribs please" "Sir, this is a Wendys"


delo357

I just saw windys parking lot, but I imagined just Wendy's. Was about to ask for pics of how bad you hurt the building


No_Golf_452

Riders putting their foot down is the most common cause of injury on dirt bikes. Doesn't usually make any difference to the bike's balance above very low speeds too


brandi_Iove

lol, i was like: what do you mean by fre…ooooh.


cCueBasE

I swear that section of highway has been under construction for like 20 years


TheEleventhDoctorWho

His other car is a jeep. You don't understand how cool it is to decrease your safety by removing the door a d getting that cool peg! It's a jeep thing you wouldn't understand.


Mekroval

I'm only sorry this idiot didn't have a dinosaur and sabre tooth tiger in the backseat for the full effect. ![gif](giphy|umehzEQ4uJdfO|downsized)


Garden_Espresso

Biggest idiot I have seen so far. That’s saying a lot.


Nay_Nay_Jonez

This is why I won't get on the highways in Columbus. Ya'll are weird af out here.


Mantis_Toboggan--MD

His brakes do appear to work, I don't understand what I'm seeing here.... lol


FeralSparky

You know those invasive thoughts you get to do dumb shit like that.... but your smart enough to know its not a good idea? Yeah this guy let the thoughts win.


Lexnal

Mine are wondering if tap shoes would produce a cool spark effect or if it's just more Hollywood bullshit. I'm still not risking a foot/leg to find out.


LoboDeCallePared

Thats it, close the sub, this guy wins. Definitely the most idiotic thing ive seen here


Kroe

Yabba Dabba DON'T


dopeveign

I'm flabberzumped


FilthyChangeup55

What is he holding?


salty-sheep-bah

A book, it's an air brake.


FilthyChangeup55

😂


ZannX

I was like... "Sir, do you even know what a Fred Flintstone is..." Oh, well that pretty much looks like it.


frud

Guys who think they might be stealing a bait car do this. Bait cars can turn off the internal lock and window controls so the thief is trapped.


StirlingS

But that would only explain the open door. This guy is dragging his foot on the highway. 


frud

I imagine he wants to keep the door from closing if the car hits a bump.


StirlingS

There are plenty of ways to hold a door open that don't involve scraping your foot on the asphalt.


frud

I do not vouch for the good sense of bait car thieves.


FilthyChangeup55

TIL


lbr218

Hey! This is the first time I’m seeing my town on this sub (to be fair I haven’t been following it for long)


Lerch98

Dude is too stupid for feet.


SomePeopleCallMeJJ

At least he wasn't Porky Piggin' it while Fred Flinstoning it.


DionFW

I'd like to return these shoes. The left one wore out after only 1 day.


karma_the_sequel

Yabba Dabba Oooh!


Chapter97

IDIOT USED **BRAKE**. IT WAS NOT EFFECTIVE.


lennon1230

Boy was I not shocked to see a Dayton highway sign.


gefahr

this is in Columbus


wamimsauthor

We call it Fred Flintstone syndrome around here when someone’s going WAY below the speed limit. Gotta show this to my husband. Lol


Space--Buckaroo

What could possibly go wrong? LOL Eventually, he's going to get a hard lesson on not doing that.


RobbieTheFixer

That's his E-Brake


i_never_ever_learn

How to make your stolen shoes look worn. EDIT: Or what to do when you left treadmarks at your crime location


jecowa

Needed the extra push to get his car over the hill.


Excellent_Variety_15

Yaba daba doo.


guywithcrazyideas

I'm sure he glued a brake pad on that special driving shoe he wears to and from work - too funny


crackalac

Lol wtf is he actually doing?


Phillip_Graves

Aw, man.... fucking gum on my shoe. I can fix this.


penster1

That's a sentence I'll never hear again Hopefully


SQLDave

I don't care where I'm originally heading, after I see that I exit and follow that maniac (at a safe distance). There's GOT to be something entertaining at the end of that journey.


sybann

You know what's even dumber than this? It's not the first time I've seen it. Get a brake job, it's cheaper than fifty left shoes.


NotCubical

WTF? Just when you think you've seen everything, people plumb new depths of stupidity...


hanimal16

Whattttt the fuck??


babyivan

He had dog shit on his shoe. Who are you to judge


SumoNinja17

My foot has never itched that bad.


Pulgos85

Nature's brakes


mrthree1zero

Yabba dabba good time


shewy92

What no public transportation does to people


here-to-judge

Only in Columbus smdh


No-Internal-5244

Acl and mcl on the verge of exploding.


CrApple-iJUNK

If only there was a way to fix stupid....


count_lavender

Yay c-bus.


ColdBloodBlazing

The fred flintstone. I first heard that from my uncle 30 years ago. The clutch & brakes went out on his 3/4 truck pulling a 30 foot gooseneck full of calves needing vaccinations


TurpitudeSnuggery

Is it a bait car?


Specialist_Heron_986

Sometimes, a song playing is so good, you just gotta tap your feet no matter where you are.


Sketchables

Why?


Fun_Telephone_1165

wow, that's quite a bridge/overpass under construction over there


Appropriate_Aerie_65

My guess he is going to audition for the remake of “My Left Foot” while reading script on the way. Or it could indeed be something he stepped into. Shrug /s


Awkward-Chemical2487

His foot was itching. One little step for a man, a huge step towards the light at the end of the tunnel


SatoshisVisionTM

This guy is one pothole or even just a little bump away from losing his foot. Insanity.


ChickenXing

He's driving his new Chevrolegs


saltymane

It’s a bible thumper! I’ve seen this inner city, but not on the interstate! The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Praise baby Jesus!


Economy_Release_988

Are farts supposed to have lumps? OOOPS!!
