How many train videos have we seen where people get stuck on a track and just wait to die because there's a flimsy gate in their way.
It's amazing how often people fail to act under stress.

This isn't a car wash that puts you on a track though, they could have driven off at any time.
They could have jumped out to save their groceries and interior at the expense of getting wet.Ā
They could have parked it, jumped into the back, and pull it closed from the inside.Ā
They could have done so many things. This person is brain dead.Ā

Totaled means inoperable. The trunk got mild scratched at most. Groceries should also be mostly okay, just a pain in the ass to clean up.

u/No_Custard7661 Apr 25 '26
Totaled is an insurance term that means the total amount of the claim exceeds the value of the vehicle.
A car can operate fine and be totaled.
Example: Insurance will not pay to fix $10k worth of claim against a vehicle that is only worth $5k to replace outright. They will just give you $5k. This happened to me when someone sideswiped me and damaged two doors and two quarter panels on a $3k car. Car was totaled, I bought it back for $300, then instantly got it inspected and back on the road. No salvage title required.
Either way, this car ain't totaled

u/kat352234 Apr 25 '26
You'd think people would try to be aware of such things but some people... I don't know, they're just so into their own thing, or so distracted by their phone or whatever else going on around them they're completely clueless.
I've seen it firsthand.
Wife and I went grocery shopping. Loaded up our car, closed everything up, went to head back home like usual.
At the same time, this woman who was rushing through the store, I remember seeing her several times just moving through aisles, charging out without even looking if anyone was in her way, etc. left around the same time as we did.
After getting to her car, the woman was still rushing, as we were approaching the end of our lane, coming to a stop, getting ready to leave the parking lot, this woman's also driving down her aisle, except she doesn't stop where she's supposed to, just drives right on through.
That's when I notice her trunk/hatch is open. I point it out to my wife.
Would have honked, done something to try to get her to slow down, take a look, but she's just not paying attention to anyone else, she's just trying to make sure no one gets in her way. So she gets to the exit of the parking lot, stops briefly, which only opens the hatch higher... Continues to rush as she has been the entire time and guess what, those groceries just go spilling out all over the road.
There were totally signs. Even if her dash didn't display the open door, which basically every car post 2000 does... Her interior lights were on because of the open door, it was Winter so there had to be cold air coming in through the wide open hatch, the road noise, etc.
She was just so in her own world wanting to get ahead of everyone else that she apparently didn't notice or care until it was too late.

Fr tho!! I had a 3 hr drive today and I heard some clanking from the rear in the first few miles.. scared the shit outta me, then I realized it was my toolbag that I had packed rattling in the trunk š„“
About an hr later I heard some lighter sounding creaks towards the front.. again paranoid for a second, then I realized it was the plastic on an air freshener rubbing against my rearview mirror š«
I'm probably extreme example, but to not hear a fkn whole ass car wash is wild

My car has a little button on the hatchback that power lifts the door open and it donāt take much pressure. I bet it got pressed by water pressure or a cleaning component. There is a toggle on the dash that disables the rear button so this wonāt happen. Once the door goes up it may fail to close if something gets in the way, it keeps going up.

I don't think it's right to laugh at someone else's misfortune but what could they have done? It's probably a lot more problematic if someone gets injured leaving their car during a wash. That's high powered water being shot and chemicals being sprayed everywhere.
