    1st

  2. oh_My_Dog says:

    The redneck sidecar?

    I’m just wondering what she has in the cart, maybe a carseat with their child.

  3. Me says:

    Improvise, Adapt and Overcome for the win!

    • Anakat says:

      Overcome and adapt to what? Failing to bring a car on a large shopping trip?

      • Me says:

        They overcame the inability to earn enough money to shop for food AND fill the car’s tank.

        Maybe when we all grow up and become rich and famous, we can afford to drive again. Or maybe we can just move to Venezuela.

      • Malfeasant says:

        i resemble that remark! there was a time when i had no car, only a motorcycle… when i went grocery shopping, i used my bicycle, i had a kid trailer for it that could haul quite a bit

  4. Someguy Somewhere Somehow says:

    I think they’re more concerned about the icecream in the front… you wouldn’t want that to melt in your side shopping cart on a hot day. Who cares whats ahead THINK OF THE ICECREAM!

  5. tycobb9999 says:

    Is this the scene that got cut from ‘Top Gun’?

  6. Lars says:

    It’s not a fail until they crash. If they don’t crash, it’s ingenious. Fail fails.

    • Neil says:

      Most shopping carts have the turning wheels in the front. This makes it much easier to push from behind, but it’s less stable in this case because turning the cart left or right will cause the rear wheels to drift towards or away from the bike. A better solution would have been to pull the cart from the front either with hands or a rope.

    • kannadzuki says:

      Agreed. This is like the one from a while back in which some guy had a fridge strapped to his bicycle. No Fail in this pic (unless there really is a baby in that cart).

  7. Horst says:

    What did they buy? Helmets and protective clothing?

  8. Starinajar says:

    Great idea! When will they be implementing these in my local supermarket?

  9. SmogMonster says:

    Oh now I get it.
    If they tied the cart to the back and towed it, they could go lots faster.
    Stupid failing failers.

    • ForTheLOL says:

      Also, it appears that they are straddling the curb. Half the wheels appear to be on the sidewalk, while the other half appear to be on the road. That can’t be making their operation any easier – or safer.

      • Hello says:

        perhaps that’s why they’re both looking at the cart? it just fell off the sidewalk?

      • LaPanthereRose says:

        my guess is : half the wheels along the sidewalk, that’s intentional.
        This way they stabilize the front left turning wheel, so the cart follow the sidewalk …
        a tiny win among a BIG fail ??

      • Malfeasant says:

        that’s not the curb, the curb blends into the gutter, so there’s about a foot of concrete on the same level as the street alongside the asphalt- that could be here in arizona, all the roads are built like that- and people wonder why cyclists don’t use the bike lanes… then again, that’s probably mexico…

    • oh_My_Dog says:

      Actually tying the cart to the back of the motorcycle would be even more dangerous since when the motorcycle slowed down the cart would not and would run into and up the back tire possibly causing the motorcycle to wreck.

      Asphalt + no helmets + no shirt = OWIE.

      Now if the couple attached the cart with a couple of metal bars which would slow the cart at the same time as the cycle. The metal bars would have to form an A-frame attached to a pivot which would allow the motorcycle to turn and cart to follow. Although this couple may try the “rick-shaw” approach and have the woman holding the handles.

      However, none of this takes into account the “wonky” wheel.

      • Aquajag says:

        Wow. That’s a whole lot of thought on how something which is inherently stupid could be done in a relatively safe way… Me, I’m wondering, why bother at all?

      • durr says:

        i’m pretty sure if you could solder a shopping cart onto your bike you would probably have the logic to buy saddle bags, or at least a wagon since they seem to be going about 5 miles an hour anyway.
        however, none of this takes into account that these people are idiots and Darwinism is too forgiving.

  10. illegal failien says:

    woah.

  11. Sir Les Paterson says:

    Can we stop off at the supermarket sweetie? I just need a couple of things…

  12. stepo says:

    Just one tiny hole in the street…

  13. Gothenem says:

    Ummm, how about vehicle on the sidewalk fail?!?

  14. Frantik says:

    I think it’s pretty cool actually, sorta win: jackass style. It’s still stupid though.

  15. RogueThree says:

    I’m guessing the dude’s shirt and helmet must be in the cart, too.

  16. Gothenem says:

    He’s on the sidewalk with the bike. Following the Rules of the Road: FAIL!

  17. Nwabby says:

    And nobody wonders why a 4 meter tall man is photgraphing it.

  18. PorchMonkey4Life says:

    Natural Selection Win! I just hope like hell these two haven’t managed to pollute the gene pool with spawn.

  19. Kurt says:

    This is fake… photoshopped… the shades are wrong…

    idiots

    • oh_My_Dog says:

      Which shades? I know that SC does not require the wearing of a helmet when driving/riding on motorcycles (SC Legislative FAIL), and I have seen many roads and sidewalks of similar color there. I’m wondering what you think was Photoshopped, the woman leaning over grabbing the cart? The guy’s head which is turned looking at the cart? If the image was taken around noon then the shadows of the motorcycle and cart are correct, along with the shadow produced by the man on the gas tank (my guess would be between 11am and 1pm depending on which direction they were headed – if headed north then around 11:45 (standard time) using the shadows as you would on a sun-dial).

    • coyote says:

      Here is a reprint of my earlier comment to poontang.

      “There are two or three other photos in the series. Her getting on, passing the apartment window that these were shot from and then this one. Sad to say these idiots really do inhabit this planet. Great, now I’m depressed.”

      You sir are one of the multitude of twits who are desperate to seem more than you know you are. Be content that you can find the on switch and leave the grown ups alone.

  20. Dix-Huit says:

    Buy a car you knob.

  21. mike wratch says:

    also, BAG LADY WIN

  22. DUDE! says:

    Look closely at the shopping cart. It *IS* a car seat with a child in it!

    WTH were these ppl thinking?!?

  23. melak says:

    Then it’s probably parental fail as well

  24. Derek says:

    It’s a grocery win … for now.

    When they get peaches and blood all over the asphalt in about 30 seconds, then I’ll say fail.

  25. Rina says:

    This brings back memories. My grandfather used to have a cast iron bath tub as a side car on his motorcycle. I don’t know what these idiots are doing, but he used it for hauling kegs with ice.

    • A. Non says:

      Okay, that’s just distilled awesome.

      • MyMalady says:

        I wish I could “hop” in with another “rye” comment like the above, but I can “barley” think of anything clever to say. Perhaps “ale” hold off on commenting for now and “brew” something up for later. hehe

      • Rina says:

        and Incidentally not against the law in the Commonwealth of PA… but lemme tell you the cops will look at you funny. just make sure you stop and wave as you drive by.

  26. duende says:

    fastest cart ever!

  27. Joe says:

    I’m going to try it…

  28. Gauldar says:

    I’d like to pop that trunk.

  29. Bob says:

    In high scool, a couple of guys I know would do this and launch the carts across the grocer’s parking lot at expensive cars…

    • Bananaphone says:

      In high school, we found a shopping cart abandoned in neighborhood about a mile from the grocery store. One of my friends climbed in the cart and another friend started pushing her down the sidewalk as fast as he could. Unfortunately, a cop car pulled around the corner at that moment and the guy pushing the cart suddenly let go of the cart and pretended like he hadn’t done anything. The cart continued to fly down the sidewalk (momentum sucks) until it veered off the sidewalk and tumbled my screaming friend into the street. No one was coming except the cop car so she didn’t get hit, but we soo got yelled at by the cop for that.

  30. Teacher says:

    They just need training wheels.

  31. Larvi says:

    Everyone in the US should take notes on how this is done since it is congress’ energy independance plan in lieu of drilling for more oil.

    • Sara J says:

      I’m stealing a shopping cart as we speak.

    • Malfeasant says:

      the spice must flow

    • wheelman says:

      I have a model airplane made in Japan on which there is a decal with a gross misspelling of “independence.” It’s spelled just like you spelled it. I hereby move that nobody anywhere should be allowed to use written communication until he or she has demonstrated a degree of capability to do so. You are dumb.

      • Malfeasant says:

        lighten up, man, this is a intertubes forum- i’m all for proper spelling and grammer in formal writing, but in this case, as long as the post is understandable, it’s the message that counts. unless it’s that 1337 bullshit, that can eat my ass

  32. not an option says:

    that’s one down ass chick

  33. dolt says:

    this is genious this is a complete WIN

    this however wouldn’t work in the UK as supermaket trolley’s wheels lock if removed beyond the supermaket premesis only somtimes they fail and lock anyway

    • Bananaphone says:

      That would have been some serious fail. And I would have gone to hell for laughing at that. And i would have laughed anyways, laughed until I died.

      And then, I would have gone to hell.

    • spike says:

      wha-? so they have some sort of tracking system?

      • dolt says:

        no they have a ring of emmters of somkind around the supermaket and car-park and a reciever in the lock which if it detects what is being emitted activates the lock

    • Malfeasant says:

      in the us as well, but pretty much only at the big chain stores like wally mart and in the middle-class neighborhoods- upscale areas, nobody steals carts… broke-ass poor neighborhoods (where even wal-mart won’t set up shop), those locking wheels are an added cost that probably won’t stop anybody, they’ll just break the whole wheel off and push it around on 3…

  34. XD says:

    Make due with whatcha got I guess

  35. Muhammad The Camel Guy says:

    Hang on honey. Only 10 more miles to go!! Can you dig around in there and find the cigarettes? …and the new lighter?

  36. Daniel says:

    Yeah, this is a potential improvisation win in progress. It could become a grocery-getter fail, but we haven’t seen the evidence.

  37. **Le sigh** says:

    Where had they been shopping, at WhiteTrash-R-Us?! Good lord, take the bus…… >_>

  38. ReTARDIS says:

    “You might be a redneck if…” WIN!

  39. MyMalady says:

    haha.. I wonder if they are on their way to a BBQ? they are just incredibly prepared

  40. O'Dissious says:

    Store Security FAIL!
    “Please Don Not Remove Bascarts From Parking Lot”
    Din’cha read the sign, people?

    Extra work for shopping cart collector!

  41. ODissious says:

    Store Security FAIL!
    Din’cha read the sign: “Pleas Do Not Remove Bascarts From Parking Lot”

  42. Chris says:

    This gives new meaning to the term “Grocery Getter”.

  43. Buttnuggets Galore says:

    THIS PICTURE NEEDS MORE DROWSY SEMI DRIVER

  44. This might have nullified the need to ever post anything else involving parenting fail on here ever again, goodness gracious. I’m sure once they got home the baby was given its usual meal of a glass of dirty bong water and a chicken skin sandwich.

  45. sj says:

    I hope it’s one of those carts that get 2 blocks from the store and the wheels lock.

  46. Jerom says:

    This got to be in South Carolina…the fail state !

  47. Person says:

    FIRST!

  48. Deadclown says:

    FIRSTERIST!!!!

    Maybe Just maybe they robbed the bank behind the supermarket and are swapping vehicles GTA style. What cop is going to chase a couple rolling down the block in a shopping cart if they’re looking for bank robbers?? Eh? Eh?

    Camouflage WIN!

  49. Haazi says:

    Old school

  50. Supermansnutsack says:

    fail?

    WIN

  51. Simmo33 says:

    YES I’M FIRST AND ALL OTHER COMMENTERS ARE GAY!

  52. fantasy says:

    If they are true white trash you will see them returning with it full of returnable beer bottles on the way home!

  53. Failer since 07 says:

    “Come on, we’ve got to go! We’ve got a party to attend.”
    “No, we can’t! Not without all this stuff I just found! I’m going to see if I can buy this cart.”
    “Uh, okay, but do you really need it?”
    “Excuse me sir, how much would you like for this cart?”

    Male sighs.

  54. Failer since 07 says:

    Way to live homeless.

    Next commenter is gay.

  55. Heiska74 says:

    it is a dangerous situation! both can be dead on road!

  56. Bob Fard says:

    O RLY?! WELL WHY DON’T YOU SAY THAT TO MY DONUT’S FACE!!!

  57. FML says:

    i think this is actually a win.
