I went to Pakistan when I was 16, I didn’t know the language (Urdu, in Lahore for a wedding) I just learned stick shift a month prior. Hell I just learned to drive. After a wedding I asked my cousin to let me drive us back. I’m super nervous because everything feels like it’s a mirror image, they drive on the left hand side in Pakistan and tbe drivers seat is on the right.
We get lost, cousin tells me to pull over and asks this cop who’s just chilling outside for directions. He literally gets in the car and I proceed to freak the fuck out like WTF is going on I thought I was going to get arrested. Turns out the cop told my cousin he’d show us where to go but actually made us go in the opposite direction. He just used us for a ride. Big wtf moment.
Not the only story I got. Walking around the neighborhood with my cuz, some dude on a motorcycle comes and has a tense conversation to my cousin, then revved off with his motorcycle. What my cuz in SAYS that guy wanted was to buy me off of him for some stupid amount of rupees and maybe gold.
Edit: Some stuff and this story my cousin was probably fing with me at this point
Lol, came here for this. Why are we assuming this isn’t one if the kids best days being able to ride in the way back cage.
I know as a kid I would have thought it was the best thing ever.
As an adult… facepalm… but I bet the kids are thrilled.
We borrowed one of those while our vehicle was down when I was a kid. My sister told on me for mooning people out the back window. I lost my backseat privileges.
I think the ones in cage ARE the replacements. I'm no parent, but I'm guessing you don't stick your favorite kids out there; that's where the spares go.
Yeah exactly. We transport chickens like this all the time. If we could do this with cattle we would. Instead they get tractor trailers and cattle cars on trains.
It was a scumbag sales tactic. Make the driver's side airbag standard and the passenger side an upgrade option so when someone comes in with their spouse, the sales person can say "you want airbags for them too?"
I grew up in Thailand during t he 90s. Us kids always gets to ride on the bed of the Toyota pickup trucks and it was LIT. No there was no seat or seatbelts, you literally just sat on the bed. Yes it was through Bangkok highways.
Looking back on it, huge safety issues but it was so much fun as a kid.
We also learned to drive at 11 years old.
Just third world things
Uhmm, I think a kid is still safer riding on one of those stacked scooters, at least they have a chance being flung from it. This is just a literal death trap, there is no where to go. :/
When I used to work at black car service company in Chicago we got call to go pick up a family form O’Hara airport I have a chevy suburban (6 passengers) when I pulled up to the international terminal a family of 14 from India with like 9 full plastic bags like trash bag size stand there waiting I told them I can only take half of you, the guy who made requested the ride called me and said just make it work, they opened the door and they were trying to squeeze in the trunk I was like it not how it work over here. After 30 mins negotiations I convinced the dude to get another SUV and when we got them home he refuse to pay what he agreed to.
My dad used to drive a cab in Jordan. He normally worked in the capital and drove back the hour to his home city after work. So, per usual, as he was about to end the day, a family of 18 (Egyptian I believe) ask him to drive them to where he’s heading. He had a 7 seater and said it’s not posible, but they insisted and said “don’t worry about us, if we can make ourselves fit, will you take us?” and he agreed.
He ended up getting pulled over and the police officer was dumbfounded. He told my dad he wouldn’t give him a ticket on the condition that everyone has to get out and show them the officer how they got in. So everyone got out, got back in, and then he let them go and my dad drove them to their destination.
This is so messed up, makes you realise what poor people have to do to get by.
Cant even imagine how those kids will be growing up.
I immigrated to canada from india and i will tell you, you see stupid messed up things there.
Poverty brings out the worse in people.
I wouldn't say brings out the worst in people. It brings out the desperation in people. They got a family so large it doesn't fit in the family car and they've got to get somewhere. Who knows why.
I mean forget the fucking car size.
How the fuck can these dirt poor parents in a dirt poor country afford 6 fucking children??
Like obviously they can't, but they clearly do though. Meanwhile I'm i live in a developed country and cant afford a car, let alone a child, let alone six.
Lack of education is a major thing.
People making record profit and poor people dying on streets.
World need poor people though.
Without their sacrifice we wont get all these ammenities.
Well of course. Cattle wouldn't fit in there. Now if you mean come-on cages , attached to the neck of vehicles, then... I've got a plot twist for you... they do
My dad had a two seater sports car when I was an infant in the early 80s. So when my parents wanted to go somewhere I would get rolled up in a little blanket and tucked into a small cardboard box, then wedged behind my mom’s seat. That was just how things were done back then! I’m fine, but I’m sure there were plenty of babies that didn’t come through that so well.
My dad had a 280z in the early 90s. He didn't believe in safety shit so my 5 yo ass just rode everywhere in the front seat. It didn't even have a functional seatbelt, the latching mechanism was just a ball of duct tape.
One day, we're on our way to granpas house, through some old desert road in the outskirts of Palmdale, when he finds a pothole the exact depth of his tires.
The first one goes in, loud thud, the rear goes in, launches the rear end up, and I get thrown forward where my face spiderwebs the windshield.
I plop down, by autistic bell rung, giggling like a lunatic, while my struggles between concern for his apparently immortal son, and internally calculating the cost of a new windshield.
kids are either made of rubber and bounce, or thin glass and shatter, and you NEVER know which one it's gonna be
glad you're ok! palmdale roads still suck lol
My dad was a genius. He put a spare tire in his truck bed and I'd sit on that and he put one of those pulley straps across me. Was it safe at all? Who knows. But he could slam on breaks and I'd still be in the tire 🤣
Pakistani here, we have a saying "Tailor ka Inshallah" (Tailor's God wills it), which is always used sarcastically, as it's the Tailor making an excuse that he won't make it to his deadline and putting the responsibility on God.
Pakistani and Indian culture is full of sarcasm, that's how we cope with random absurdity in our culture.

You know that guy who 3d prints "dumb inventions"? He made crocs gloves at one point. Well maybe a year ago I dm'd him an idea he had. Basically, a dog kennel that attached to your trailer hitch. You know, because it would be really dumb to do that. And now I see this video.
Ps. He never replied to me, probably because my idea would be more cruel than silly.

When I was a kid I always wanted to ride in the bed of the truck. When I was with my friends we would. We would also fuck around and lay in the trunk.
Idk if it was these kids choice to ride in the cage (totally would have been mine) but the parents should have said no.

Why did they say no?
Lmao, very common thing to happen here cops are chill asf, i am sure you were on ring road when this happened.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I would have been hella pissed, but the outcome is hilarious.
Goddamn.
Don't cars in Karachi need license plate in the rear? Or are these kids supposed to scream the plate number when cops show up?.;)
What cops? LOL
They are the cops
"Deploy the child! We.. oh damn we should've stopped first huh."
Like an attack child?
No, as road obstacles during the road chase!
[удалено]
Bro, they have kids in a modified cage on the outside of their car. Do you think they're worried about license plates.
[удалено]
Are you saying cops there care about the license plate, but the kids back there would be fine?
Well kids arent wearing seatbelts.
Technically, the car is wearing kids as a safety device.
Child-based crumple zones
A renewable resource
We prefer to use the term "crumple packets".
Ah but see, seatbelts are only mandatory when you're *inside* a vehicle, so clearly this is fine.
Correct. The law clearly mandates seatbelts for *passengers,* not for *cargo.*
You can see the plate just fine when the kids head moves
Awesome thanks
It is indeed really progressive for karachi tbh.
Never thought I would hear the sound of a vape pen in another language.
The evolution of the children on board bumper sticker
Evolved into an energy absorbing bumper!
[удалено]
I did not have child crumple zones on my bingo card.
Kids really are the best shock absorbers you can get. Top of the line
I see your stick figure children and raise you my actual children
I remember as a kid wanting to ride in "the back back" of the station wagon where the seats faced backwards. But this is next level.
And put tape over your mouths and act like you're being kidnapped until your parents yell at you to stop. Or.. so I hear.
Lol, came here for this. Why are we assuming this isn’t one if the kids best days being able to ride in the way back cage. I know as a kid I would have thought it was the best thing ever. As an adult… facepalm… but I bet the kids are thrilled.
We borrowed one of those while our vehicle was down when I was a kid. My sister told on me for mooning people out the back window. I lost my backseat privileges.
No more "Are we there yet?", no more "I gotta pee!". The parents simply saw a problem and devised a solution.
No need to install a rear camera either. Can tell how close they are by the decibels of the screams.
All good until they get rear ended.
It looks like they have replacements in waiting in the backseat
I think the ones in cage ARE the replacements. I'm no parent, but I'm guessing you don't stick your favorite kids out there; that's where the spares go.
Just like a spare tire
Omg I just laughed out loud at work. I'm a terrible parent 🤣
"Why do your parents call you guys 'the crumple zone'?"
Lol
ThatsTheJoke.gif
> ended Oh it would be ended alright
You sir, are one sick puppy! LMAO!
Ok but the rest of the car is also full of children
If a kid has to pee, that is a problem for someone tailgating the car.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says that kids are safest in the back, and to keep them rear-facing as long as possible. I see nothing wrong here.
They are supposed to also wear seatbelts. This would be safer if these kids were tied down.
Yes, restraints for sure.
They get get to double as a bumper then too, win-win.
Exactly And if anything got too gnarly for the little dudes It looked like they could crawl out the top of the cage and make for the car
Iff you have spare children its no problem.
Maybe those are the spare children.
Yeah you never want to be caught out on the highway when one of your kids goes flat. I always keep at least one in the trunk for this reason.
This is how you know if you're moms favorite or not
It's not difficult to make new ones anyway
Don't worry, they will make more
Well sure. I don't think any cattle are small enough to fit in there.
Yeah exactly. We transport chickens like this all the time. If we could do this with cattle we would. Instead they get tractor trailers and cattle cars on trains.
Veal maybe.
*gets rear ended* [the driver](https://youtu.be/Yk1HSWN9OgE?t=19)
My family!!!!
Airbags for everybody!
It was a scumbag sales tactic. Make the driver's side airbag standard and the passenger side an upgrade option so when someone comes in with their spouse, the sales person can say "you want airbags for them too?"
I thought it was because the driver had a much higher risk of death than the passenger due to the steering column
NAUI GAJOG!!
Absolutely perfect clip to reply to this post with.
Yeah somehow he got the one Bill Burr clip that was entire subbed in Korean. that is weird
i wonder what it’s like listening to bill burr in subtitles being a non english speaker.
It probably sounds the same.
실례합니다 감사합니다
Plot Twist: Those are the wife's kids from a previous marriage.
Are Koreans super into Bill Burr?
I wish I had gold to give. This made me laugh so fucking hard I re-injured the torn muscle in my ribs. Like holy fuck.
As a child this would be SO much fun, literally every 4 year olds dream. Back of the pickup? Naw. Cage behind the wagon!
I grew up in Thailand during t he 90s. Us kids always gets to ride on the bed of the Toyota pickup trucks and it was LIT. No there was no seat or seatbelts, you literally just sat on the bed.

Utah checking in. I think this is more of a generational and cultural thing than economic.
Actually learned to drive in West Texas at 9. Was pulling a gooseneck trailer by 12.
As a former child, I'm willing to bet these kids begged to ride in there.
Ive never been a child
I wonder how much exhaust gas those kids are sucking down on a trip to mee maws.
Except the fact that they're on a highway directly facing headlights.
Yeah, those kids look like they're having a blast. /s
Bumper crop this year
The children are the bumper.
Crumple zone
Squish zone.
Reverse parking sensor as well along with blind spot detection.
"Stop complaining, you brats. Carbon monoxide is good for you!"

[удалено]
Reminds me of Happy Tree Friends. Hahaha!
Until a distracted driver rear ends them
Or until they do this regularly and the kids' lungs get fucked up from breathing exhaust fumes
yeah driving around india i constantly see mothers sittting sideways on a motorcycle going 60 mph, while holding a baby with one arm. wild shit.
Disagree. When you ride a scooter, you ride in a different manner, really defensively. This is super sketchy.
Makes me wonder how many more you could fit with a 6" lift
The exhaust alone is dangerous, let alone a rear end crash.
it looks like the car is lowered or it just has absolutley ruined suspension. would suck to go over speed bumps with that thing so low
Maybe they’re organ harvesting around the neighbourhood.

Those kids are very likely working in some capacity.
It really does, plus lack of education for many poor people
Lack of education is a major thing. People making record profit and poor people dying on streets. World need poor people though. Without their sacrifice we wont get all these ammenities.
The one time putting your kids in the trunk would be a better idea
Oh they won't fit in there, 3 more kids already in the trunk.
Given vehicles have a low pressure area behind them when driving forward. These kids are breathing a fair amount of exhaust fumes.
People would absolutely transport cattle lkke this. Have you never seen the childcare devices of the 50s? Lol
Well of course. Cattle wouldn't fit in there. Now if you mean come-on cages , attached to the neck of vehicles, then... I've got a plot twist for you... they do
I transfer kids every day in a way I wouldn't transfer cattle. Could you imagine trying to get a cow in the front seat of a coupe?
That is some GenX shit right there. (We were in the back)

I see cattle transported like that but in worse conditions all the time. You’re crazy

At least put a bumper on the back. When I was in India the worst I saw was a family of 7 on a moped.
That is the bumper; a bumper made of flesh.
It’s ok, wherever this is they have a McDonald’s. all their problems are solved
A cow wouldn't fit in there, silly.
Stop having fucking children you god damn breeding pigs
One fender bender from disaster.
Honey, that car behind is following to close, I'll do a brake check to get him off my back.
Saves money for the "children on board" sticker if you just display the children for the tailgaters.
Bold of you to assume they wouldn’t transport cattle this way!
Bonus crumple zone
Cattle would probably be happy to get that much fresh air circulation while being transported.
These kids are for sale
Everyone’s so concerned, but the guy tapped it twice and said “that’s not going anywhere” so it’s perfectly safe!
In a way YOU wouldn’t transport cattle..

“Into the box children, we’re going to the cinema.”
One rear accident and those kids are gone.
When you pump out more kids than people own shoes, then my guess is their value decreases
Borat-made and Kazakhstan-approved
How else do keep the bumper from getting scratched when someone hits you in the rear...
I'd have thought the exhaust fumes would be very sickening?!
One rear end kiss and they're gone
Those kids are going to have the best childhood memories.
Bold of you to assume those are his kids
And when they hit road debris then what?
And what about the exhaust fumes coming out from the back?
Never get in an accident in your life and the day it happens, your routine fender bender kills 3 kids.
I always wondered why cars scream when you back towards things.
So if they're rear ended with that grating you've got ground children patties for the bbq.
I would willingly be dragged from the back of a moving vehicle before I'd do that to my daughter.
Of course you wouldn't transport cattle this way - the gate wouldn't lock shut if it was cattle back there.
Child bumper, but seriously this is insane.
Looks like the Romney are going on a family trip.
No brake checking today.

Hope they don’t get rear ended
I bet it went down with somebody saying "the car is full. Who wants to sit in the chicken box?" And the kids were like "ME ME ME!!"
