required. I remember taking my class B license in one of those trucks. I couldn’t reach the pedals with the seat all the way down and forward. So we had to take some 4×4 and cut it down to fit over the pedals and duck taped them in place so i could take my test…
Oh I did the same, too, and I had to sit on a pile of books to reach the steering wheel, and then my uncle and our pig jumped into the truck and we drove out of the burning barn as the sheriff shot at us… oh wait, that was Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
I remember High Sch Drivers Ed (required since we were in the boondocks)….
They said the scariest thing on the road was a Rental moving van because 9 out of ten people renting them never had anything more then a medium sized non-commercial transport truck (less then 2 ton). While commercial transport trucks range from 3 ton unloaded (small) to 10 ton fully loaded (large).

Is Mikey around (off topic, I know). I’ve been enjoying these late night contemplative sessions…
*places cigar and scotch on chair in case he arrives later*
*Leans back*

God the stars are beautiful tonight…

*drifts off…*
*tiptoes quietly in so as not to wake DrB*
Thankyou.
*sips on scotch and leans back in chair*
Would you believe the internet failed? We couldn’t get any emails at work or anything.
Still, the wonders of the internet don’t compare to good company and a good view.
*enjoys the company and the view*
*tiptoes quietly into thread* *puts lipstick and eyeliner on MikeyD* *ties Dr. B’s shoelaces together* *steals scotch* *leaves napkin with lip imprint in bright scarlet as only evidence* *tiptoes out* Shhhhh…..

Eh? My hands wet? And so are my trousers?
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I accidentied.
And there’s a napkin.
Hmmmmmmmmm.
DrB, the game is afoot!
Most rental truck accidents are at gas stations — the overhead canopy. People just hop behind the wheel and take off, without thinking of the extra size. If you see someone trying to back up — run.
Another fail in this picture, but not visible to anyone:
“Penske” is like, dialect Dutch, for a very fat, very gross belly. Like those typical fat, beer drinking, middleaged men like Homer Simpson, they have this very fat tummy. That kinda tummy is called “een Penske” in Dutch :’ ), so the truck rental company is actually called “Gross Fat Tummy truck rental”.
I think I rented that truck after that accident.
I accidenty a tree, what do I do?
Is anyone hurt? Do you need a wheeechiair?
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Sorry. Can’t help it.
Be happy that the tree didn’t accidenty you.
*drives wheeechair in circles*
i love how it tore the massive tree branch off.. and kept driving.
How do you know it kept driving…
Well…speed always wins…same thing happened to my schoolbus, but
it was worse. The bus driver guy got fired after like 20 years of driving
buses…sad.
“How do you know it kept driving…”
the fact the tree branch has been completely torn off a tree that doesnt even make it into shot.
plus all the leaves, branches and scrape lines trailing after the truck/tree are a incy bit of a giveaway.
Use an action verb! (Was I the only one that caught that?)
i guess not
use an action verb
Use an action verb…
Oh my goodness! That tree ran right into that truck! Wow! Hope that tree has insurance…
“Honey, don’t forget to pack the tree.”
“Don’t worry, I’m putting the trunk in the truck right now.”
Lol. Moving is hard, we all know that, but you have to remember… you can’t take it with you.
I’m sure you have to have a truck-driver-license in the US, don’t you? Looks like this driver hadn’t.
Nope, no license needed to rent one of those bad boys. I should know, I’ve done it, and I have a hard time just driving my car.
So you’re saying you’ve driving trucks into trees before?
i think the tree drove into the truck
so the question is did the tree have a license?
It has a can opener license.
Oh crap *replaces “ing” with “en”*
I think that tree gives great branch.
The truck saw a sporty little car and popped some wood.
alright Miss Gator bite me! lol
Just lolz!
Yeah Ry! Go gators!

I drove one of these trucks into a bus (no, not on purpose), but far less damage resulted.
Duh duh Duhn! The Shadow KNOWS!
SWEEET! First!
They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt.
Room for doubt there is, indeed.
Yeah, we may need a whole ‘nother truck.
I doubt there is room
Here, I’ll put the top down…
A lady doesn’t leave her escort
It isn’t fair, it isn’t nice
A lady doesn’t wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice!
A lady does not accidenty an apostrophe.
I am a tramp.
*cries*
Ladyluck… Oh, irony.
Better luck with the ladies.
dammit.
lol?
Failshop, anyone?
I’ll take the fifth.

I like your style.
Yeah but he has to leave his balls in the sink every time he puts on those skinny pants he wears. He sacrifices quite a bit for his style.
Well, at least they’re not in some woman’s purse like some guys I know…
I like to share mine. *hands velvet one, hands Ryannon one* Now play nice.
Cooooool!
That’s how nature made ‘em.
You say that now but just wait until you want them back.
I am not giving mine back. While it may not match Johnny’s ball in colorand size, I now have 12 full sets of balls in my jar. What do you have on your schedule for Friday raelalt?
Sorry, mine are already spoken for.

I only have one thing to say…
Scam WOW!
I am not tired of the hassel, but I am tired of the HOFF!
A “Deal of fantastic proportions”? And he comes with Shamwow stuffed in his mouth? *raises eyebrow*
I actually just had a dream about Shamwow. No joke. I was in a huge mall and found a multicolored set of Shamwow I wanted to buy.
That Shamwow is a real dream.
olympic swimmers use it to dry off!
You following me camera guy?
I bought a set of Shamwow towels, and I became an olympic swimmer!
Joseph and the Technicolor ShamWowCoat.
Oh, that is too funny Spork.
Penske. We’re #2, and that Hertz.
This is why you dont want to make a tree angry….
That’s right. I arbor no sympathy for someone as stupid as that.
Did the driver leaf the scene of the accidenty.
If he did, he should be sent to federal pound-me-in-the-aspen-itentiary.
We were lost. None of us knew where we were. And then Harry began feelin’ around on all the trees. And then he says, “I got it: we’re on Pluto. And we said, “Harry, how can you tell?” He said, “From the bark you dummies! From the bark!
Woof. That joke was a balm.
And the worst part is, an alien is going to burst out of his chest, put on a little top hat, grab a cane, sing “Hello, my baby”, and dance out of the dining room.
Woof. I spaced out.
*Tips hat to Jim.*
“BAAAAAAARF!” “ALWAYS when I’m eating.”
how does that even happen!!?
Sauron ordered some pens and paper for the gobbos and the Ents didn’t like that much.
–stares–
happy trails for you ↓↓
-stares- I saw…
Oh shi! ENTS!
i hope the tree is ok.
I’m afraid the truck is going to leave ent trails.
Hope they got the extra insurance!!!
“Yes hello Im calling about the special ent insurance….”
OOOOOOOH! The next renter better do a thorough check of this or they will be paying the rental company again for this damage.
I wonder how far they drove with the tree stuck out of the side of the thing?
About ten feet.
Well that’s just a bit boring really.
It would be much better if that was filmed going down a busy motorway
Psh. On Oregon Trail I could have a broxen axle, dysentery, AND a tree through my covered wagon and STILL make it to the general store.
Hee! We would run our party into the ground just to leave abusive epitaphs to other parties.
I always let my kids die after rattlesnake bites, they were dead weight anyway.
F*ck his chainsaw is small.
Showoff!
*followed Shiraz safety suggestion*
But now it’s late here, and I want to play

*heads for lights and music in the distance*
Sheesh. Yet more of these fails? I think we need a Driving Class in addition to the Humo(u)r 101.
And there are even more in the vote page!

Wait a minute, I’m a truck driver! you don’t think… ARGH, a low bridge!
*crashes*
maybe I shouldn’t have been on my laptop while driving…

You stole my line! arrrggh
Maybe you should just post “FAIL!” then. I’m sure that would rival the originality of the post -stolen- from you and make you a forum god.
Are there such things as forum gods?
Where can we worship?
Tell me!!
Each forum god resides in its place of preference. For this site, probably Big Dick’s Halfway Inn.
I love their weekly rapes.
Drivers are warned to avoid a collision on the corner of Penske & Elm, this morning. Seek alder-nate routes.
Most rental truck accidents are at gas stations — the overhead canopy. People just hop behind the wheel and take off, without thinking of the extra size. If you see someone trying to back up — run.
Title Fail. Looks like they rented the truck just fine…
Not if they didn’t get the insurance! :3
Yeah, it’s not really a ‘truck rental fail’ – more of a ‘rental truck fail’.
tree win
redneck tree trimming?
Nope, That involves a 4×4, a ladder, a chainsaw and the phrase “Here, hold my beer and just watch this.”
NO PARKING: Extremely rapid tree growth.
buba wonders what is this country where trees grow so fast?
How do you become that stupid?
Extreme environmentalism.
Definitely a win for the tree!
Not really – it just had one of its limbs torn off. Here, I’ll go tear one of your arms and see if you think it is a win.
Your truck belongs to the tree
The tree’s like a chainsaw
What better time to text all your cargo-shorts-wearing friends.
”I can leave that screeching sound for the next.. WHAT THE??!”
I thirst for a first…
FIRST!!!
tree win.
I HOPE THEY WENT FOR THE EXTRA INSURANCE! HAHA
the most stupid driver
Something similar happened in front of my office, but it was a Ryder truck. It took down part of a tree and a power line.
a tree grew in brooklyn

OMFG!
xDDDDDDD
I actually saw this happen! Semoron Blvd in Orlando FL, near the airport… And no, it wasn’t me
I wonder if they had to open a Penske file…
So much for the deposit
That’s one strong tree.
Um, the tree was already wedged in there when I got it.
“Oh, shit! The truck!”
“Don’t worry, it’s a rental.”
omg…
Wow!
ummm… i was kinda there when this happened. i know the guy that ran the truck into the tree… we thought it was pretty humerous.
Then please, tell me…. HOW??
This is why moving companies offer damage waivers and protection packages.
Should have rented a Budget truck
Yup, I’ve done this before with a box truck, just no where near this bad. My truck was leased from Penske now that I think about it.
Tree Win!
That’s some strong wood
