I worked at home depot, and our manager made people sign a form before having a Hi-Lo load a pallet of floor tile into their truck because it would cause their suspension to bottom out. They'd do it, and drive off with zero leeway on their shocks.
We had one guy come in bragging about how his super-expensive hydraulic suspension could handle it. We loaded 2 pallets of tile into his truck bed. I bet he felt every little crack in the road driving to the job site.
I bought a locker a while back, like the kind you would find in the employee room of a closing bed bath and beyond. It didn't quite fit as expected so we ended up just tying the back hatch as closed as it could with a single rope and took back roads the whole way home. I don't think we went above 20mph for fear of the damage this giant steel box would cause if it fell out. Also got a tetanus shot the next day because I managed to rip my hand on its rusted foot. Good times, I love that locker
Go to the Netherlands and see the same thing, but with bikes. I once brought back a 1,5 meter long wooden pannel under my arm. I didn't anticipate the wind, which started to push me out of the road.
That is not limited to Home Depot. I once saw two ladies trying to fit three trollys full with an IKEA bedroom (bed, frame, mattresses, and a stack of PAX wardrobes, plus a heap of smaller items) into a compact car. A very compact car...
I didn't see anyone link to the original!
Wow, a biblically accurate Honda accord
I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn't rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.
People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.
So embarrassing.
Listen Linda.... Sometimes you go to HD, buy stuff, and then forget you have to get it home.
Concepts of home improvement.
That, or they got the idea from watching Home Improvement.
The accord driver 100% planned that out. Now if it was a good plan is up for debate.

My wife's mum was helping me move everything from a two-bedroom unit, in a Toyota Yaris hatchback. Completely filled the car with stuff. It took maybe six or seven trips back and forth, but we got it done eventually.
This was before I had a drivers license or much money, so I couldn't just rent a truck, nor could I afford to pay a mover.

Omg this was me when my dad and brother told me they’d strapped down studs in the back of my dad’s escort wagon. After taking the first turn I discovered that was a lie
