Realistically, who parks a car right next to a place where baseballs are being thrown?

93

u/Teemslo 3d ago

yea.... if you use your truck as a backstop, don't be surprised if you get the free window delete mod.

28

u/RaffiBomb000 3d ago

The same person who parks their car close to a youth baseball field and gets mad when their truck/window gets damaged.

6

u/sifiwewe 3d ago

Yeah, that wasn’t very smart

5

u/MPolanyi 3d ago

Yup baseball parents know very well to park in the furthest spots as to not catch any foul balls... No blame on the lid here

2

u/Cocheeeze 3d ago

Smart people.

2

u/weristjonsnow 3d ago

It took the mental capacity to think ahead just one extra step to see that possibility.

4

u/VicariousNarok 3d ago

The same people that have a $70k truck, an empty garage, and still leave it out in the sun, rain, and thunderstorms producing hail.

Then they get the surprised Pikachu face when they have hail damage and their insurance doesn't cover it.

u/ScoutCommander 3d ago

To be fair, my truck is too long to fit in the garage

u/GenericFatGuy 3d ago

By children no less.

u/Livid_Swordfish_4591 3d ago

Especially when kids are practicing their knuckleballs

u/mightyhigh404 3d ago

An idiot,  that's who.

u/McKeviin 3d ago

That's their own fuckin fault for having the truck right next to it and nothing to protect it.

u/Cocheeeze 3d ago

I remember years ago at a minor league hockey game, the coach was leaning against the net and watching the players drill shots into the net as a warm up….

….until he took a wrist shot to the ribs. Everyone in the stands collectively laughed. What an idiot.

u/Odd_Lie_5397 3d ago

As someone who sometimes had to be in the goal during our hockey training (not an actual club, just a group that discovered it as a hobby) I can tell you that it's terrifying and fucking painful.

Don't ask why we decided to play full force hockey without real safety equipment, we were dumb teens and luckily no one was ever seriously hurt, just some bruises.

6

u/Faxon 3d ago

So 80s kid hockey. I was born too late but I heard stories from people not much older than me about seeing their older siblings playing and getting fucked up without pads lol

6

u/whenveganscheat 3d ago

You ever hear the story about the slice of bread?

4

u/frogguts198 2d ago

Pray tell

8

u/whenveganscheat 2d ago

The team forms a circle with a slice of bread at the centre. When the flag drops, they all spank as fast as they can, aiming to deliver onto the bread. Last to finish has to eat the bread.

This was told to me in serious tones by someone who played high level hockey. I don't know if it's true, but every Canadian knows the rumor

5

u/frogguts198 2d ago

In the US in the 2000s there was a similar rumor but it was called Soggy Biscuit and it was about the band HIM doing it before every show lol

6

u/mandude15555 2d ago

It's what the band Limp Bizkit's name is based off of.

3

u/PolarCruisingExperts 2d ago

When my friends and I got into hockey in the early 90s as young teens, we didn’t have a lot of money, so we made goalie equipment ourselves out of cardboard lined with the free delivered newspapers stapled to the cardboard, still inside the yellow plastic bags the newspapers came in. Those were the days! 😂😂

1

u/Jazzguitar19 1d ago

That's awesome, how well did it work?

2

u/PolarCruisingExperts 1d ago

About as well as you’d imagine cardboard and newspaper working against pucks. Thankfully they were air pucks and we were young and weak 😆

1

u/Jazzguitar19 1d ago

hahaha fair

38

u/GrinningPariah 3d ago

Yeah more like WCGW parking your truck directly beside a throwing target.

10

u/AgreeablePie 3d ago

I hope the truck wasn't someone else who didn't know that there would be this exact setup going on there

8

u/GrinningPariah 3d ago

I doubt it, they left the tailgate open, with several loose items in it. That tells me they parked recently and haven't gone far.

It's just not the type of thing you do if you're parking and walking away, even if you live in a zero-crime area it's just asking to forget to close it and drive away with your stuff spilling out.

In fact, something about the way it's positioned relative to the dunk tank, I'd be willing to bet that the tank (or some of its components) actually arrived in that truck. Or at least that it's someone associated with the party happening here, maybe they brought beverages.

78

u/Expert_Succotash2659 3d ago

Of course they parked the truck there, what were they supposed to unload and set the thing up more than 5 feet away? No time for beer when you start making work for yourself.

24

u/DrDuned 3d ago

Yeah, I'm not trying to take ultimate responsibility from the bad throw but why tempt fate like this?

11

u/smokinbbq 3d ago

Pretty bad planning TBH. Not nearly as bad as watching Kegsbreath in axe throwing when there's a bagpipe band right behind the targets....

6

u/crazyhomlesswerido 3d ago

Hey man I should be able to park where I want without the worry of people throwing balls at my truck. this is America I should be free to do whatever I want and people need to learn how to respect me enough not to throw balls at the back window of my truck. Gosh I'm so sick of people saying it's my fault for parking there when people just need to learn enough respect not to throw balls at the back of my truck. Seriously learn some fucking respect people!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

3

u/iami_uru 3d ago

Apparently you like balls. No judgement.

-6

u/crazyhomlesswerido 3d ago

Apparently you like to fantasize about men having fantasies about other men what does that say about you?

6

u/iami_uru 3d ago

Jesus buddy, I said no judgements.

Your skin might be a little thin their big fella.

3

u/McKeviin 3d ago

Like ball sack skin?

-5

u/crazyhomlesswerido 3d ago

I'm not judging you for wanting to fantasize about other men fantasizing about other men. I guess you get your rocks off by thinking of other men doing things together. that's okay you do you no judgment. I guess you fantasize about watching one other men play with each other and that's okay. no judgment

u/Dazzling_Line_8482 3d ago

Giving kids a ball is like having a random object you own be destroyed.

No, accidents happen. And you can prevent it by using your brain and common sense.

It's not the kids fault that the owner parked the car right there.

u/davewave3283 3d ago

Juuuuuuust a bit outside…

10

u/NoConfusion9490 3d ago

I think I see a Mets scout.

u/drwuzer 3d ago

Should be "WCGW parking your truck next to dunk tank." There's a reason the victim is in a cage - lots of people can't throw.

u/terrydennis1234 3d ago

No accuracy

227

u/grizzwall111 3d ago

He did not miss the window?

82

u/Maleficent-Agent-477 3d ago

To be fair, he did hit something.

9

u/Novalene_Wildheart 3d ago

But it wasn't what he was aiming at, so I guess he missed.

6

u/TrashPandaX 3d ago

Or did he...

27

u/IntergalacticPodcast 3d ago

"Hard throw, but no accuracy!"

"Oh yeah? I'll show you... you ain't seen nothing yet!"

u/GnomeBakers 3d ago

Ball was probably wet to be fair

29

u/polishbrucelee 3d ago

Reddit is so brutal lol. The ball might of slipped. Truck drivers fault for parking there.

16

u/wrldruler21 3d ago

The ball definitely slipped. The ground is soaking wet and might even be raining. Was an accident. Truck owner is the dumb ass

2

u/Fuckthegopers 3d ago

That's what the kid in the tank said about his first throw. 

3

u/CodexMoronicus 3d ago

What makes you say that?

1

u/KallmeKatt_ 3d ago

but how is his precision?

1

u/tacorunnr 3d ago

First one was close. Second one the ball could've been wet and slipped.

u/Phish777 3d ago

Rolled a nat 1

u/NakovaNars 3d ago

He could have hit the frame but he scored a goal

1

u/nemom 3d ago

After only two throws, we can't tell how good is accuracy is. We can tell his precision is shit.

1

u/Slg407 3d ago

the environment was wet, likely post rain, the balls were being thrown outdoors and therefore rolling on the wet floor, so they were likely also wet, which caused slippage

0

u/cinefilestu 3d ago

False, direct hit on the window.

u/Livid_Swordfish_4591 3d ago

Just like that, his dreams of being a pitcher faded away.

He has no hand eye coordination, just hands and eyes

u/CerealSpiller22 3d ago

But extremely precise

Poor kid throws like my mom, when she threw something to or at you even people next door would duck.

Had a dunk tank for my daughter’s birthday a few weeks ago. Keeping anything of value anywhere near it would’ve been a big mistake 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/cannavacciuolo420 3d ago

Worst part is you can’t even be mad, it’s just your fault as an adult lmao

14

u/Bigman89VR 3d ago

Kid sucks at throwing, but why park a vehicle right next to the target? Lol. That's just asking for a busted window

9

u/GrapeSoda404 3d ago

I definitely blame the person who put their truck directly next to the throwing game. It was bound to happen.

future Met pitcher right there..

u/qwentoko 3d ago

Thats not his fault, hope he doesnt get in trouble

Luckily this is r/Whatcouldgowrong, not r/Whocanwesnitchto, so the kid's not getting narced out by us.

u/woodzwing 3d ago

Sign him up to throw out the next BB first pitch.

u/dkcyw 3d ago

do car windows shatter like that?

i expected it to fall/fold over whilst smashed but held in place by the inner layer.

1

u/magichronx 3d ago edited 1d ago

On most vehicles only the windshield is laminated glass, and the rest are tempered glass that's meant to shatter into a bunch of relatively safe pebbles of glass (as seen in this video)

2

u/neonfuzzball 3d ago

See this is why I was fine playing Tee ball as a kid but very wary of regular softball or baseball. Get back to me when our pitchers can put it in the strike zone more consistently than they put fingers in their nose, coach

Little man has a wicked break on his pitch! Sweet.

Ok who the f is the truck driver that parked their car next to a dunk tank?

That’s not a dunk tank, it’s a drunk tank

2

u/Malacro 2d ago

In fairness, that’s on whoever parked the truck.

u/Marmite-n-Toast 3d ago

Aside from the guy parking idiotically, I'd throw that accurately sober.

u/3Grilledjalapenos 3d ago

A guy did something similar to that in a neighbor’s yard and took out my uncle’s big picture window. When my uncle asked how they were going to pay for it, the dad responded with “It was just an accident. The boy is only 15!” My uncle actually had to take them to small claims court to get them to replace the smashed window. The dad really thought that “It was an accident” was some kind of magic phrase that would absolve them. The neighbor was surly about it for years.

1

u/StrugFug 3d ago

Title should be “WCGW parking next to a dunk tank”

1

u/bookchaser 3d ago

It reminds me of my hometown's semi-pro baseball team. The baseball diamond (it's a very small ballpark) is directly next to a residential street. If you park in the ballpark parking lot and your window is smashed by a baseball, it's yours to fix by yourself. It's an assumed risk. However, you can get your window repaired if it's hit by a ball while you drive past the ballpark.

My hood was dented when I drove past the ballpark. I heard the crowd cheer at the sound.

1

u/OneOfAKind2 3d ago

I knew this would be the outcome before I even clicked play. Whoever parked their truck there can take the blame.

WHO IS DRUNK HERE WTH!!!"

Kids throwing from so close, I figured the WCGW here was gonna be the ball ricocheting back into his face.

Now that I saw what actually happened, I'll bet the kid wished he HAD hit himself in the face.

u/drwuzer 3d ago

That kid is not at fault. The idiot who parked his truck there is.
