Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Every town seems to have a few rolling hoarder vehicles. Makes me sad for them honestly, because they are not healthy mentally. It's hard enough to manage at times with normal mental and emotional capacity.

I'll venture a guess that the car cost less than a storage shed - then it all makes sense.

How much does it cost compared to a trash can?

Holy crap. Speaking of crap, look at the interior.... hoarding is a legit mental disorder.

Probably living in there. We see that a lot with the homeless in the big city but I do not think they have poles on the roof.

Some are mentally incapable. Many are capable, just on the run from child support, alimony or have drug issues. Big difference.

Back to the subject of the thread.....

Kind of funny that hoarders get that mental label yet much and I mean much that goes on in "normal" society on a daily basis seems to not to get the slightest attention.

Carl Jung suggested that what bothers us about others is usually only a reflection of ourselves. I wonder if this is what is at work here.? Maybe not packed into a car, but certainly most have enough stuff with a thirst for ever more.

Speaking of hoarders, here's another rolling dumpster I saw a while back. I couldn't see the driver, if there was one in that mess.
Gives me the creeps just thinking about what it smells like and what might be living in there.
The dog in the pickup is even thinking WTF?

When I worked as a tech we would get cars like that in from time to time, and yes they smell exactly as they look. For state safety and emissions inspections we would do it (although there were issues passing them sometimes due to obscured mirrors) but on more then 1 occasions we would refuse work unless the vehicles was cleaned out first.

Being in and out of a lot ofpeople cars regularly, you realize a lot of people out there are pretty disgusting beings.

Technically off topic, but a video of a pickup plunges 70 feet straight down off a Wisconsin freeway! The driver lives. What a ride!
VIDEO: Vehicle skids off interstate ramp near Milwaukee, falls 7? feet to ground

You are so right.

The stuff in my farm truck is only stacked up to the dash in the front. But it is all tools. Hard to believe I ca still find things.

saw these guys broke down on the road and stopped to help and maybe educate a small amount. very nice and very thankful couple of young men, I hope they made it where they were going . I help them with a tire and rearranged some of their load I even took some home with me. they offered to pay me for my help and when I said no they offered some sod and I told them that would help them as much as it would help me so I took some.

^^^^
Bearings? The tire in your pic looks pretty sketchy also. That's how we learn though...

I'm glad that was not one of my trailers I would have had a fit. I was on my way home when I seen them, they still had about 40 miles to go.

 

[Redlands Okie]

So it took two jacks to lift it ? That trailor is probably carrying a load at least 2 times what it should be. Maybe 3. Wow

 

[Redlands Okie]

Nice of you to stop and help

I can’t view the picture.

Good for you for helping. :thumbsup:

 

[dodge man]

Spring hanger broke? I don’t see a brake on the front axle did the rear one have brakes? Any guess on how much that load weighed?
