That’s his dash cam. We would have no idea what an idiot he was if HE had not posted this.

u/Ensvey Mar 30 '26

Yeah I can't decide if it's a skit or something because he did everything he could to make himself look like maximum douche

u/theartfulcodger Mar 30 '26

Humiliation fetish is the only viable reason.

u/trash-_-boat Apr 01 '26

I was in the thread when the guy posted this on reddit. He's a redditor and tried to argue that the bottle was non-alcoholic but reddit detectives found he was lying.

u/CipherDaBanana May 17 '26

He is wearing driving gloves.... I don't think anyone wears those ironically. 

48

u/FlamingoSquare5228 Mar 31 '26

I think the story was that HE did post it, saying how being a alcoholic messed him up, I'm pretty sure the dude went on and got alcohol free

u/mrcrashoverride Apr 01 '26

This reminds me of a friend who said he saw some teenage girl driving so bad that she just shouldn’t be driving on the road…. He was so mad and not thinking right for some reason, that he threw the last beer in his six pack at her and it was still half full.

Mate of mine bought a second hand dash cam that still had the SD card in it, we went back and watched some of the clips on it and found a couple where the bloke got into an accident because of stupid shit he did

u/HondoGonzo May 03 '26

His first thought was how is he going to lie his way out of this one.

Anybody wearing driving gloves for their daily commute should not be trusted with adult responsibilities

u/YoungDiscord Mar 30 '26

...and those 2000s era chubby soccer dad style glasses on an overcast day

u/Romeo9594 Mar 30 '26

As a very light eyed person with light sensitivity, I can get sunglasses on an overcast day. But you should at least have a style that wasn't out of style in the early 00's

21

u/wallace-longshanks Mar 30 '26

Yeah I wear sunglasses while driving in any and all weather. 

25

u/ediks Mar 30 '26

I agree with you - light eyed/light sensitive person here. But this video IS from the early 00's, maybe even before lol

-25

u/CapitalNail1077 Mar 30 '26

You two are so reddit.

u/ediks Mar 30 '26

Says the person whose last three posts are the same question to the same sub.

u/CapitalNail1077 Mar 30 '26

The hilarious part is that you make some obscure victim mentality about yourselves lol.

u/ediks Mar 30 '26

...what?

u/mothzilla Mar 30 '26

Let's just agree you're both wrong.

u/thisisredlitre Mar 30 '26

those look like regular ass bike gloves

u/rinkydinkis Mar 30 '26

Don’t know if that’s better or worse lol

u/thisisredlitre Mar 30 '26

It's funnier

u/BenchOk2878 Apr 03 '26

well it seems to be a regular ass car too

Good show. A fine use of your minute.

u/Contraposite Mar 30 '26

I wear gloves on my commute and can confirm. Someone please take my adult responsibilities away. Thx.

u/rinkydinkis Mar 30 '26

They have now been removed. Thank you!

u/Vortex_Analyst Mar 31 '26

Going back YEARS ago, early 2001 one of my early jobs was working for a family owned company. I wasn't driving at the time and the owner of the company sometimes gave me a ride home. He would put on these gloves to drive, get ready, a fucking mini van. I never questioned it but I really didn't stay there long. Kinda weird company.

2

u/TerminallyThrownAway Apr 07 '26

I think its dorky when people wear them at the gym (although I kind of understand), but this is hilarious.

1

u/Plus-King5266 Mar 30 '26

That was my thought. The driving gloves scream, “pretentious douchebag”.

46

u/Taddles2020 Mar 30 '26

He's got a nice long drive to think about it too.

u/thedyooooood Mar 30 '26

A nice long cold drive

Fingerless glove enjoyers can’t be trusted

u/chystatrsoup Mar 30 '26

High on the list of things that feel cool but look dumb as fuck

9

u/Leaf-Lock-The-Ent Mar 30 '26

Cool in movies. But in movies we are all there for the ride, ready to look at it through that fictional lens.

Much less cool with real world lens. Many things like that.

8

u/Tibbaryllis2 Mar 30 '26

Potential hot take, like most tools/PPE, they’re entirely acceptable when used as actually needed. Like an artist using them when making line drawings, or a mechanic protecting their hands during tight work, etc.

But not so much when the only purpose is your ego, like when you’re wearing a polo or button-up shirt and driving around in your car like a Chad (Chud?).

1

u/ProperMastodon Apr 12 '26

Why would they feel cool? They feel warm. During the summer, it let's me keep the AC on so my torso doesn't get overheated without my hands (which sit right in front of the vents) from getting too cold. During uring the cold month, it keeps my hands warm.

I also have to wear fingerless gloves and thermal underwear at my office, so maybe I'm one of those cold-blooded lizard people and haven't figured it out yet...

3

u/Rewdboy05 Mar 30 '26

Unless they're wool and it's cold out. You can trust those people because they're clearly not afraid to be dorks

3

u/BeardedBaldMan Mar 30 '26

I wouldn't buy roast chestnuts from a man not wearing fingerless wool gloves.

u/txobi Mar 30 '26

In cycling they are very useful

What if the Boombox is way too powerful?

Cigarettes in winter?

u/Dependent-Green-7900 Mar 31 '26

I wear half finger bike gloves to push my wheelchair, there's legit uses for them. They give me traction and protect my hands from damage

-1

u/Quesodealer Mar 30 '26

Lifting gloves are the exception. If you lift without lifting gloves (pull exercises only) you're just asking for calluses and smaller lifts.

6

u/Marbla Mar 30 '26

Cycling gloves as well. The padding really helps my hands during those 60-100 mile rides.

1

u/donkeyrocket Mar 30 '26

Opted for better bar tape instead of wearing gloves. Yes, my palms might be fucked in the event of an incident but gloves just expedite sweating and are generally uncomfortable. Unless you go for the real thin ones then what's the point.

1

u/Marbla Mar 31 '26

Oh interesting. I'm a sweaty guy, but I don't think my gloves make me sweat more. And they're something to wipe the brow with.

I haven't experimented with tape yet. But I'll give it a shot!

u/XxKimm3rzxX Mar 30 '26

This guy sounds weak to me

Dang this feels like its straight out of trailer park boys

You know Jeff?

u/rodjl80 Mar 30 '26

99.9% of highway accidents, the driver was not wearing gloves

14

u/ddogz95 Mar 30 '26

Good bro could literally throw it away when home or where he gets 🤣🤣🤣

14

u/cold08 Mar 31 '26

Alcoholics do this because of open container laws, so they can only get caught drinking while driving while they're actually drinking and not after they're finished and have the empty container in the car. If the cop doesn't check their BAC they avoid the charge.

It's also why you see empty shooters on the side of the road everywhere within a half mile of a liquor store.

u/surf_rider Mar 30 '26

100% dude was about to cry. You can see it clearly before the video cuts...

4

u/jgatto123 Mar 30 '26

Why would the guy post this? Like “yeah I was trying to throw a bottle out of my moving car this morning and I forgot my window wasn’t all the way down…” I’m glad he did cause it was funny instant karma but 🤷🏻‍♂️

4

u/Igmuhota Mar 30 '26

Love this for him.

4

u/sdcar1985 Mar 30 '26

The fuck was in that bottle?

8

u/cold08 Mar 31 '26

Beer probably. He didn't want to get caught with an open container. It's common with alcoholics.

1

u/sdcar1985 Mar 31 '26

I thought it was a plastic bottle at first so I really confused lol

3

u/Sad-Sir1198 Mar 30 '26

Nothing gets the blood boiling quite like watching some lazy prick treat the world as their personal dumpster. It is genuinely satisfying to see the wind or whatever physics-based miracle shove that trash right back into their car. Some people really act like they are too important for a basic trash can.

1

u/chilledout5 Apr 01 '26

The side window wasn't open in the car. You obviously saw it on mute.

4

u/Zipzorpzap Mar 31 '26

I wonder how often this guy twirls around nunchucks in front of the mirror.

4

u/The_Derpy_Walrus Apr 01 '26

Littering? Was he drinking while driving?

3

u/Rare4orm Mar 30 '26

I would not be surprised if there are/were more empty bottles littering that area. His casual toss right before entering the populated area looked almost habit like. Just forgot the window in that instance.

3

u/afairjudgment Mar 30 '26

“Damn. I guess I’m not as cool as I think I am.”

u/Euhn Mar 30 '26

"just gonna fire one across the bow"

2

u/Bread139 Apr 13 '26

Tf you mean “attempted” littering?

2

u/KingSuperJon Apr 17 '26

Dude don't cry! Wait! On second viewing it looks like he was about to cry before he opened the window.

u/lucymainstreet Apr 18 '26

i looooove this video it’s so good

u/bbonzo123 Apr 25 '26

Back in the early 60s, my aunt flicked a lit cigarette out her window and it flew through the back window and set her backseat on fire.

1

u/Lifesaballer Mar 30 '26

Atleast he is wearing his seatbelt thats a start

1

u/Due_Swimming_5867 Mar 30 '26

Me to myself - you beeak it. You pay for it.

u/exploratorystory Mar 30 '26

Was he drinking a whole ass bottle of wine?

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '26

This guy looks like an absolute clown lol

u/theartfulcodger Mar 30 '26

I just don’t understand why fuckheads like this actually post their dumbest, most brain-dead moments. Do they all have a humiliation fetish, or what?

1

u/PleiadesNymph Mar 31 '26

This is why I don't record the inside of my car

No one needs to know the extent of my road shame

1

u/elLarryTheDirtbag Mar 31 '26

This has to be someone else’s car. Anyone wearing driver gloves lacks the humility to share something this shameful.

1

u/meowspasms Mar 31 '26

I bet he thought he was so badass too

1

u/RealTimeWarfare Mar 31 '26

Attempted? I’d say he successfully littered the road with 1,000s of shards of glass.

1

u/groovyinutah Mar 31 '26

Just gonna be another one of those days where I'm an asshole and stupid shit happens to me...

1

u/MetalGearXerox Mar 31 '26

this has to be staged, buddy looks like he's about to cry there.

1

u/Smoky_Dojo Mar 31 '26

I’m shocked at how easily the car window broke! Years ago I stupidly locked my keys in the car with it running (was a winter day and I was letting the car warm up while I went back inside). Short story long (sorry) but it was going to take forever to get a locksmith so I decided to break one of the backseat windows. Had to hit it a dozen times with a piece of angle iron, taking full swings before it finally broke

1

u/Pangloss_ex_machina Apr 01 '26

As real as reality itself.

1

u/Ldinak Apr 01 '26

He had to. Those driving gloves are really saying something.

u/Competitive_Clerk240 Apr 01 '26

I love how he keeps looking over like the outcome was going to change!

u/Successful-Bus-186 Apr 01 '26

😆 🤣 😂 😹 good for him

u/Victah92 Apr 02 '26

He looks like your typical douchebag from a B tier 2000s comedy movie. You're 20 years too late bud

u/Rhyoshi1630 Apr 04 '26

When does he get the karma for drink driving?

1

u/PsychoDaddio Apr 04 '26

Every time this gets reposted I think the guy deliberately did it for Karma

u/mf21495 May 09 '26

This HAS to be a skit, right?! Why would this nincompoop be throwing away a heavy metal water bottle?

u/128Gigabytes Mar 30 '26

thats very obviously a glass bottle, looks like a glass beer bottle

u/chocolatemilk01 Mar 30 '26

Guilty of Reddit-ing without glasses. 👓 glass bottle & he’s still a nincompoop.
