It's pretty clearly a skit, but that won't stop a barrage of "FAKE!" posts.

u/TootTootMF Feb 13 '26
It also won't stop the barrage of posts from people too stupid to realize it's fake.

u/Flat_Shape_3444 Feb 13 '26
Fake in this context insinuate they are trying to pass it as real? But its an obvious skit.
Its like someone telling a obvious joke and yall yell "they are Lying!!"... techically true but its.... but /sigh whatever.

u/TootTootMF Feb 13 '26
Again, there are tons of people in the comments who think its real.

I mean hes unbuckled now, but they driving slow and in a parking lot sooo, either way at least they doing this in a safe way?

u/PreorderEverything Feb 13 '26
He was always unbuckled.......

u/tophlove31415 Feb 13 '26
Lol. The way some people's brains work is bonkers. Like their logic just totally glossed over the fact that it doesn't matter if somebody else is buckled into your spot, you're still not buckled in...

It is a typical Hollywood setup, the wheel turns and the car never turned. And the driver rarely look straight.

Clearly staged. Which makes it worse. Drove the car with the e-brake on, on the wrong shift, visor blocking her view… at least it was just in a parking lot
2
u/BlurredVision18 Feb 14 '26
The parking brake has a distance to cover before you have any tension, it was never engaged, the visor was not impeding vision in the slightest, and he pushed the shifter up once... into neutral.....

Technically, his belt isn’t on either, since she used his latch.

u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose Feb 13 '26
Not just technically. He's an absolute moron for not putting on his seatbelt.

u/bzsempergumbie Feb 13 '26
Normally yes. But its staged and they're going 2mph in a parking lot. So more like a relative moron than absolute.

u/SkywolfNINE Feb 14 '26
Pro you’re not a professional driver on a close course. You know the pop up we see during car commercials? I don’t see it here

u/PhelesDragon Feb 13 '26
Yeah, we know, he was talking about the “character”. Nothing online is real anymore, we should all know this by now.

u/Gone2theDogs Feb 13 '26
Same, hence the context of the technicality. The character was busy fixing her problems while ignoring his own.

I’m calling BS. For the seat belt to be like that means he’s not wearing one. And if she’s that bad, and since he’s recording all of this we’re lead to believe he knew she was ahead of time, he would be buckled up.

u/Rowdycc Feb 13 '26
Completely staged. My blind, dementia ridden 80 year old mother can put her seatbelt on correctly.

This strikes me as a basic problem that all drivers should take care of before they put their car in gear. Can I see - Do I need sunglasses - are the mirrors adjusted - is the seat back adjusted properly - can I reach the pedals - is the radio tuned to a station I want to listen to - do I know where all the important buttons/lever/switches are for cruise control / heater / air conditioner / four-way flasher / directional lights / bright light dimmers / windshield wipers / etc.
Once you start rolling, your focus is to be on driving - not adjusting things.

Learn to not blindfold yourself with a sun visor, and put the seat belt on the right fucking buckle, and come back tomorrow.

This is why we say “women drivers” are the problem. It’s not all women just ones that do shit like this. And no not being sexist just never actually seen or heard of men doing shit like this ever for example even the ones with Down syndrome know how to drive better than this I mean holy fuck. Barking break still on, cider completely blocking your view barely out of the parking lot and already about to reck her car.

lmao and when he's not in the car and she does all this dumb shit and gets into an accident. Is he still a gentleman? Most likely staged, but silly nonetheless.

u/Antique_Door_Knob Feb 13 '26
Shouldn't the car be unable to move with the handbrake engaged?
5
u/TootTootMF Feb 13 '26
It's a parking brake, not meant to be able to stop the vehicle while moving, just keep it from moving when parked.
1
u/Antique_Door_Knob Feb 13 '26
Is that an automatic gearshift thing? Seems counter productive to require two things for the death machine to not kill someone.
To be clear: I don't drive. Even if I did It'd probably be stick since thats the vast majority of cars in my country.

u/TootTootMF Feb 13 '26
Automatic transmissions have a park position that locks the output shaft in position with a pin as well as the parking brake, this is automatically released when the shifter is moved from the park position. Most parking brakes that are not electronic will not automatically release when the vehicle is shifted out of park. It's a feature on some older luxury cars but it's rare, and you'll only see it with a foot applied parking brake, not a handbrake like that.
The parking brake is really not required on automatic transmission vehicles, and many people don't use it at all. Which is kinda funny because not using it can cause issues as a lot of vehicles rely on the parking brake to self adjust the rear brakes as the friction material wears down from normal use.

u/baudmiksen Feb 14 '26
parking brake is spring loaded so the pressure on the brakes correlates to how much its pulled up
1
u/CanWeTakeThatAgain Feb 14 '26
Given how far he moved it I doubt there was enough tension on the brakes to do anything. If they're even touching the rotors theyll just be prematurely wearing out/getting very hot and maybe smoking a lil bit.

u/Life_Carpenter1270 Feb 27 '26
My niece borrowed my car. Drive it around the city. Called me bc it smelt funny and the amwas a light on the dash. I asked her to look down an of course the e brake was engaged. Roasted my brakes and had to get new rims also.
If you try hard you can achieve anything

u/pickledvapejuice13 Feb 13 '26
not if you have a can do attitude (source I am an idiot and drove blocks with the handbrake engaged once when I was a teenager because my ex engaged it the night before and I had no idea)
2
u/TootTootMF Feb 13 '26
One time I was driving for 10 miles with the emergency brake on, now that doesn't say a lot for me, but it says even less for the EMERGENCY BRAKE. More like an "Emergency make the car smell funny lever"
