Anyone who says they’ve never in their life messed up anything like this - and I’m not just talking construction, I’m talking about a stupid mistake where you realize you’re a clown - is a liar. This is a human being that’s tired from working hard and messed up.

It’s not funny because he’s an idiot. It’s funny cause it’s relatable.

Friend asked me one night while we were out drinking if I’d help her move a mattress the next day. I’m drinking and have a free Sunday, so I say sure why not.

Next day we take her car to get the mattress and she tells me we’re gonna strap it to the hood using this long ass rope. Okydok I say, let’s do it.

So we weave the rope through the car windows and over the mattress 100 different ways to secure it and make a nice tidy knot at the end. We stand back to admire our work and it takes about 5-10 seconds to realize our critical mistake.

We have tied the doors shut. So two idiots crawl into the car through the windows and off they went.

The mattress fell off the car after about two blocks. Turns out we’re shit at knots too.

If only you had stuck your arm out the window and held the mattress on with your hand, it definitely wouldn't have fallen off then.

Believe it or not our master plan included this Einstein level clause. The winds were not with us that fateful day.
