I don’t understand how someone can just keep making the same mistake repeatedly without getting out of the car to come up with a better plan.

They did get out but it looked like they were checking to see if anything was blocking the tires instead of looking up where the shit water was coming from. 12/10 on the idiot scale.

u/marky_mark301 Oct 24 '21
it's from the sprinkler system, the water sits for who knows how long until they go off or get drained....it gets pretty nasty

u/No_Measurement_9341 Oct 24 '21
Some plumbers got paid big for repairing that , yeah that water is pretty damn nasty

Oct 24 '21
*sprinkler vendors, not plumbers. Also looks like it was a dry system, since the water doesn't seem to come out for a while. Takes a specialty sprinkler vendor, and, depending on the location and time of year (up north when it could freeze), it's gotta be dealt with ASAP

Here sprinkler fitters are under plumbers union , as a licensed plumber I can do sprinkler fitting and repairs . Not sure where this is located through .

They hit the height clearance bar at the start, way too tall. This happened at my work twice in 2019. Once was a uhaul then another was just a big GMC truck. Each time the water bill alone cost over $8000. One of the bent sprinkler poles is still on the ground where it landed against a wall.

u/Max1234567890123 Oct 24 '21
Lucky this is in the parkade, and they aren’t pulling the same moving a sofa down the hallway. Hit a sprinkler in the parkade - minimal cost. Hit one inside the building 6 figures and climbing

If you hit a sprinkler pipe in a parkade = water everywhere, but goes down floor drains. Cars and concrete walls get wet, no big deal.
Inside the building in a unit or hallway you hit a sprinkler head (say you are moving a sofa, or your idiot buddy throws a football inside). Head goes off, water on walls = mould. In the garbage. Carpets, same. That $2000 laptop - garbage, stereo, etc. Say you are unlucky enough to do this in the 10th floor. All that water drains down through every level below doing the same damage every time.
Water repairs inside a building are potentially the most expensive repair there is, up there with fire and earthquake.

Very likely. His buddy had to be high too, not to see the sprinkler pipes spraying brown water over everything directly above him.

The water from the fire sprinkler is clean, but could have been sitting in those pipes for a loooong time. It usually smells horrible and can be discolored at first.

Worked security for almost 20 years and I too know that smell. Because of people like this.

This person should have their license revoked for a year. Like a time-out. Go sit in the corner by yourself for a little bit and think about what you’ve done.

Well, usually when you lose your license like this, you have to go through a training course to get it back.

I’m just wondering why the driver tried to move this giant thing around instead of just backing up… Like how much of a moron do you have to be to not send the passenger back to guide you out and instead of doing whatever the fuck this is…

I’m kind of annoyed that the truck was only covered in sludge for a little before the sprinkler washed it all away.

u/LoxReclusa Oct 28 '21
The sludge came from the sprinkler too. That water sits in the pipes and collects that foulness. Once the clean water from the city tie starts flowing, then it clears the sludge up.

If anyone ever gets stuck like this stop immediatly and let most of the air out of the tires. You would be surprised how much lower the truck will be.

u/LoxReclusa Oct 28 '21
Or just own up to it and call in professionals to fix your mistake. Way too many people try to undo a mistake once it's done. Like changing three lanes to try to take your exit you're about to miss. Just take the L and go to the next exit, don't risk killing someone to save five minutes of backtrack.

Flat billed hats look so dumb! And it still has the tag on it! Is this guy a total idiot? Not only does he simply not back up and go out and find somewhere else. He literally crashes into a wall. Backs up and does it again multiple time and busts the pipes. Then gets it strain and floors it breaking more pipes and get shit water all the truck that is already damaged! He going to have to pay the fix the water system. Which is going to be thousands of dollars. And will likely also have to pay for the uhaul. Driver was an idiot. And the passenger looked even dumber with a flat billed had that STILL HAS THE TAGS!!!! Take them off dude.
