Oompa loopa doompadee duck, I’ve got a cripple attached to my truck.
Hood ornaments are getting a little extravagant these days!
No hitchhikers!
*hitches up skirt*
*rambles off*
Careful. If you ramble around with that hitched skirt, guys will likely stop and ask you for a ride.
Trust me
Not with these rambling association uniform red socks on they won’t!
could it be love
No, Just a chunky knit.
You really know how to pick knits!
Hmmmm
Don’t say that to my husband!
He doesn’t like knitpickers?
Definitely not, though I am suprised his name is not Arran!
I can’t believe I’m still laughing at this…but I am.
That’s what I call a “fun-filled” ride
Sounds like he got popped.
Oompa loopa doompadee de, A paraplegic’s going to sue me.
2nd time im 1st
you mean u are second?
The Red Arrow performances are getting worse.
Ahh, you didn’t see them do the loop-the-loop
*attatches coloured smoke cannisters to friends wheelchair*
*attatches Truck to K@’s friend’s wheelchair*
Wow the paintwork matches the wheel nipple tassles!
…So the tassles are on the wheels, right?
I’ll be over here, building a loop on the freeway.
Yes, and they were her idea.
Just a warped thought, I wonder if the truck had the mud flaps with the naked ladies on them.
Are they your favo[u]rite, guybo?
I like Yosemite Sam. “Back Off!”
I like the international vegetarian symbol.
may i recommend the carrot jockeys from cakewrecks?
*snork*
Maybe he was just tired of wasting energy by driving himself.
How’s My Driving?
ring 0800-FAIL
It seems I gets 2nd
I fail
oMg!Rly2nd!???!11!1one!
In the time it took you to type that, 4 other people have posted.
LOL!!1!one!!11eleven!11!one!1!
He were slow
not first
I like you, me. You’re very observant.
Not last
Hey look: They are filming new episodes of The Naked Gun.
But I don’t see any cameras….
Poor crippled Joe..
Better to get hit by a truck than a police car.
Reaching above 50mph in a wheelchair qualifies for paralympics, not?
ROTFLMAOBBQ
U win. Srsly.
1.) it should read TRUCK DRIVER FAIL imo.
2.) it should REALLY read WHEELCHAIR MAN WIN
or Softdrink-Fail
I recall when this happened, it actually did,and there is video footage of it in some T.V news archive.
Geez, if the cripple would have threw his damn soda up, the driver might have seen him. A wheelchair shoudlnt be getting on front of a semi truck anyway. I call ‘wheelchair wisdom’ fail!
Not if the soda spilled, as it almost certainly did, at or before the instant of greatest acceleration–that is, when the initial impact occurred. At 50 mph, it would be very difficult to alert the truck driver by throwing an empty soda, especially since the thing would’ve been blown away by the wind and taken for random unimportant litter.
Yeah, this happened a few years ago. Amazing he survived.
I remember that too. Some of the 911 calls they played on the news were kind of funny.
1st caller: “Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God!!! I CAN’T CALM DOWN!! There is a man in a wheelchair on the front of a truck going down the freeway!! Oh my God! He’s going to die!!! I CAN’T F****** CALM DOWN!!!”
2nd caller: “Uh yeah. um so there’s this guy and hes, like, in a wheelchair. and um, i think he’s stuck on the front of a truck. Pardon me? Oh. no, ma’am, the truck is moving. No joke, ma’am. Pardon me? Oh. um, i’d say about 50 or so. yeah, they’re really booking. Yeah, my pleasure. Talk to you later, ma’am.”
Then they interviewed the guy in the wheelchair, and he was all chill, like – “oh yeah. i was a little bit scared. well, kind of. but not really. it was actually kind of fun”
I think that it’s sad that the article has to refer to the crippled mans obvious drinking problem.
Looks like he picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue…
What drinking problem? It never said anything about beer! It said “Soft drink” and not “Hard drink”
Get your facts straight.
I think he need a better cup holder on the wheelchair
It was probably a Japanese wheelchair. Americans have mastered the art of cupholder engineering.
Are we sure it wasn’t a La-Z-Boy and it was just motorized?
Something like this? (non-evil clicky)
piggy-backing-win!
The fact that he was unfazed enough to even think about hid drink makes me question his sanity.
*removes drink from its’ hiding place*
*removes potato from its hiding place*
*removes urine from its hiding place*
Aaaaaahaaaa, you potatoed the wrong hole.
*removes hat from Moomin*
*runs away giggling*
*removes pants from Brewski*
Hey it’s friday might as well start it off pantsless and see where it takes you.
You too Jules? Man, I’m really outnumbered.
I think what dignity I had was removed along with my pants a long time ago.
Well, at least it’s not Commando Thursday! I’ll just wear my SpongeBob boxers with pride!
aww Brewski, get better soon!
Thanks K@! *hazmat squeeze*
What do you have? Swine, canine, bird or feline flu? Give it to me straight. I can take it.
*provides Brewski with freshly ironed pants*
I think a cold is all. Thanks for the pants! Plaid, my favorite!
I’m logging off for some rest and some breakfast. I can’t decide which order.
[ahnold] I’ll be back. [/ahnold]
Ah. I have a doctor’s appointment today myself. I hate doctors. And if they think they can stick a HUGE cotton swab up my nostrils they will have another thing coming. I will take the swabs and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine on them.
Sounds like you need to learn the ninja art of sneezing on cue.
*starts a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup for Brewski*
I hope it’s not *hamthrax* aka *the baconic plague* aka *H1N1*
NO PANTS FRIDAY!!!!!!
Wow, u guys just found this? I heard about this on the radion months, maybe even a year ago i don’t really remember.
Yes, that’s right! We all live in caves, banging sticks on rocks and speaking in unintelligible grunts. We’ve never seen anything until it shows up on Failblog. It’s our link to the world!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go polish my club.
Ugg
*pokes Brewski with a stick*
OoG!!
*bangs club on ground*
I like the club, it suits you. Just don’t go dragging any females around by the hair.
Alright JazzyGirl, you coming clubbing?
What if I like being pulled around by the hair? (And spanked, but don’t tell anyone I told you, all right?)
Brewski.. you see witch doctor about cold?
He make fire.
*doodles on cave walls*
What’s a “radion”?
It’s the element that comes before “teevion” in the periodic table.
…which is before PCilver…
..and after coaton
Not to be confused with Evian
Has anybody ever wondered at the audacity of the marketing companies… selling us water that they fill from the tap in their factories… and call it Evian… which happens to be “naive” backwards… Conspiracy theorists?
Then what’s the conspiracy behind Ekoc, Ispep, Wed Niatnuom, Etirps, Tsiknus, Reppep Rd., Pu7, Hsurc, Acserf, Tloj, Senoj, Bat?

Hey Brewski what happened to WhoeNellie? It was so sudden is he alright?
I don’t know anything more than you. I guess I can ask him.
I suspect either he’s changing jobs, or his work asked him to stop, or something. But who knows.
Brewski, can you please ask him what happened? Dammit, I’d almost rather he not have said goodbye, and just posted when he could. I really did cry yesterday.
Awww, I’m sorry. I was sad too, I always miss people when they leave. Unfortunately it happens a lot.
I’ll send him an email.
*squeeze*
Thanks very much, Brewski.
*squeeze*
Dear Shell Answer Man,
Is there a secure way to share our email with selected FailPeeps? I made a profile and realized I have no idea how to add y’all as friends.
I had the song started below thanks for the full version SuzieQ.
I saw that…
My husband’s a truck driver, so I know MANY songs about truck driving…
After you said that, I had to google to find the “Smokey and The Bandit” convoy scene. But I couldn’t find it! All I can find is the clip in my clickie.
*buttersqueeze*
Haha!!! I love that song! In fact, it’s on my iPod. This made my Friday…
*feelbettersqueeze*
Good one Brewski, I hadn’t heard that song in ages!
Having been to Michigan recently, I can believe this is probably a popular pass time. LOL!
That’s not your drink, grandpa. You peed your pants.
Dang nabbit son.
Good morning all.
♫We got us a convoy.♫
Good morning 5. How are you doing today?
Very good and yourself?. I am so stressed this days I need my sweat lodge every weekend. How do you handle stress Leila?.
He popped a wheelie!
-stares-
Why is Retaba always staring?
A truck driver once started to change lanes against our car and didn’t notice us until people started honking at him to stop, then he said it was our fault that he didn’t see us from his mirrors. He dented the driver side door enough that it was jammed shut for a few days until we got it repaired.
Thanks for sharing, Mouserz. A very tounching story, indeed.
*sniff*
Anyone got a hanky? ShamWow™? Anything?
Here, have the lint from the washing machine.
It can double as a Samhain costume,
You can be Little girl Blue-beard- the dread pirate
Thanks, k@! It’s just the thing!
*rummages in closet for wooden leg and stuffed parrot*
*hands LGB inflatable parrot* Best I could find…
I bet that’s the fastest he’s gone on that wheelchair. I am glad he wasn’t hurt.
HAPPY FRIDAY SQUEEZES!!!!!!!!
*specialFridaysqueezesformysweetieLeila*
What kind of trouble are we getting into today?
Well, it is Friday, after all. We really should find some sort of mischief. I’ll have to ponder whilst getting ready for work…
Good morning Leila! *big Friday squeeze*
Are you behaving?
LOL
Yes! You mean “behaving poorly”, right?
^^^^
Already with the pants gone!
Gave him a pair ^^^.
Morning
*fridaysqueeze*
(my hubby got a speeding ticket on a pushbike)
True story?
Yup!
42Mph in a 30 (downhill)
ROFL! I don’t know which is bad, getting pulled over in a sports car while the cop was on foot or getting a ticket on a pushbike.
I could think of one worse….
Being prosecuted by the aviation authority for trampoline use.
*happyfridaysqueezes*
You forgot getting run over by cyclists.
It’s happened, seriously.
my dad did the same, about 35 in a 20 (downhill)
Happy Friday!
*bigska-wheezesforeveryone*
Mornin’ GS!!!!
*squeezies*
And a Happy Friday to you, too!!
Where’s the cuddle puddle?
Please tell me I haven’t missed the cuddle puddle. This would be my first one!
Nope you’re early, it’s usually the next fail.
Have a *squeeze* to tide you over until then>
Death Race 2000 competitor fail?
Everything was going fine until the deer jumped out into the road
Well, you know, you really have to have your priorities straight when you’re talking about this.

*TacklesShadowForASqueeze*
Hello!
Hello!
*return squeezes*
I’m just dropping in for a li’l while before school starts.
Good thing you did. Hope you have a good day.
i dont know WHAT that, is but its no fail! more like, seatbelt win, or wheelchair win, or not-panicing-and-trying-to-jump-for-it win
You guys started without me again!
Traveling around town in style. The unsafe style. Beverage not included.
Srsly, I live in this area. I watched it happen. Priceless. The guy didnt even freak out.
Definitely not a truck driver fail as it says. There’s no way he could tell there would be someone in front of the truck. He was probably up in his cab when the wheelchair guy came up past the left side in front as the truck pulled off.
Exactly! I know I was taught when I was young not to pass so close in front of a truck or bus. If you can’t see the driver, they can’t see you either.
Electric Wheelchairs like his should have a charge mode for just such a situation.
lol! im from that area and i remember when this happened! it was all over the news but this is a few years old
Ahh–Sweet Home Rural Southwestern Michigan…
this a total win for the wheelchair dude
I agree, mislabeled fail for sure.
Seriously. Doesn’t strike me as too surprising; they get enough craziness in their daily lives that getting pushed in front of a semi is probably just a mildly exciting occurrence.
OMG GUYS THIS IS A WIN! are u tards? XD
http://www.break.com/index/truck-pushes-wheelchair-for-miles.html
sooo…. yeah…
pick = proof
….third caller needed to try to calm down before calling O_o I get that this is traumatic, disturbing, etc, but dayum
I can’t believe I got in before “I SPEEL my DRINK!”
Shame on you all, Deus Ex was amazing.
In fact, viewing this entry immediately reminded me of the specific quote to which you refer. I am also disappointed at the absence of sufficient references to Deus Ex.
Careful man, there’s a beverage here!
Wheelchair-pushing WIN!
This has to be fake. Really how do you accidentally get stuck with a wheelchair on a truck and just sit there completely silent while the guy gets into the truck.
the truck was MOVING, he wasnt sitting there as the driver got into the truck. And it’s not fake
I SPILLL my DRINNNK
The blind spot of a tractor trailer is directly in front of it. There’s no way the truck driver would have known he was pushing the wheelchair..
sounds like something that would happen to my grandpa
It’s obvious that he just wanted a free refill… that evil weelchair genius.
On the contrary, it was a major WIN that this guy wasn’t killed.
The driver obviously couldn’t see him from where he was seated.
Don’t walk too close to the front of a running semi.
I live in the same town that this happened in. It was surprising the kid/guy wasn’t killed. What actually happened, too, was that his “helper” wasn’t next to him, but actually inside the local convenient store, or so I’ve heard.
Anyone else think this should be a Win?
Pic of the aftermath:

i remember this, the guy went right down my road, i guess you could see the marks his chair left in the road.
The funny part is the end and the beginning
As a truck driver myself, I know that there is about a 20 foot blind spot in front of the truck.
He was in a fuel station, so was likely updating his logbook when the man in the wheelchair proceeded into this blind spot, and was unable to get out of the way fast enough as the driver pulled out.
I guess he’s already in a wheelchair so his life is pretty screwed up as it is. But then on top of that he spilled his drink!?!?!?!?! When will his bad luck end! That poor man.
Oh my god this is hilarious. I live in Paw Paw michigan and heard about this like 2 or 3 years ago.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT BAJS IS A FRIGGIN RETARD. Have you ever heardhow loud a semi is. and the driver was in the truck the whole time not outside. BAJS IS A TARD
I remember this- I live in Mattawan, which is right by Paw Paw. It was huge in the news there…
I think someone has earned his racing stripes.
was it fun???
This happend like 4 miles from my house
Come on! This is from 2 years ago. Lame!
When I think about it, he was probably just taking a joy ride.
Hey, Brewski, is your name that because you be a brew?
He was on there a long time, probably. I think this could’ve have happened:
Oompa doompa doopa doo dee, I bet he really had to go pee.
OMG!!! i remember this! i live in that area and it was all over the news when this happened
Don’t see how this is a trucker fail; semis are very big vehicles.
The whole thing strikes me as a kind of awesome.
