you never know :3
It happens to me all the time!
Are you aiming at them?
30 points.
More than that. They’re moving targets.
*takes aim*
*barele misses*
*does a u-turn to try again*
What a way to spend a Saturday night.
Ow, I don’t know about hit and run, but that spelling is criminal!
Do you want a shamWow for that!
For that and for other things.
*5 eags jumps out* Good morning all.
*rams*
OMYGOD! I RAMED HIM WITH MY CAR!
…
50 points!
*wonders if wolf deserves more than that*
For ramming the guy who threatened Dragon on her website? Hardly.
Pssst!
*tickletickle*
Oops. Apologies if that was the case!
Yes, more points. And lots of them. Lots and lots and lots.
It can be taken both ways.
*gives wolf 1,000,000+ points*
*points to friends*
I love you guys.
*points @ AA*

You have got to love a Mushroom with skills in DIY and demolitions!
No, 30 for each….150!
I usually aim for old age pensioners.
While you may only get 15 points for a pensioner you do get an additional cash bonus from their insurance company.
HIGH SCORE!!!
20 points if they’re disabled.
before or after?
Yes.
Just another day in Depressionton
Also, I love answering affirmatively to a clearly either-or oriented question.
Either
35 points if they have someone helping them across the street.
YES
Funny when it involving toddler.
cool, I needed a new hood ornament.
Granny’s a bit flappy
Yup…and a meteor might land on your car as well! Just wish I had a nice easy job like this dude!
They’re so desperate having to live in suburbia?
I think it is the boredom. They just need to add some excitement.
That’s what brings us countless youtube videos of people getting hurt.
The birth of “JACKASS-THE MOVIE!”
It’s a bouncing baby boy!
*bounce*
*bounce*
*bounce*
*crunch*
*Shakes head sadly*
There is a difference between bouncing them, and dropping them on their heads.
@Arthur
Yepp.
Click on the reply button, type your comment. Ta-daaa!
your comment
hehehehe
How did I miss that?
You were too busy looking for kids to hit?
Failblog 101
SUICIDE!!!1!11!!1
Silly emos… stick with razors.
haahaaha
Hihi =D
If Hihi equals D the person above and below is Rachel Hihi. QED.
Err… QEHihi, of course.
QEHellohello.
oh my fat goat…
Wow, that looks like a jumpin’ neighbourhood.
Maybe this is where all the Chavs are coming from.
Nah, the sign would read…Beware your stereo has just been stolen.
Is the symbol a car up on blocks?
More likely the absence of a car.
*looks confused*
So the symbol is a blank piece of paper?
That would probably be TWOCed too!
AHAHAHAHAAHAA
*bonk*
But what if they don’t?
Pass them by really close, open the door.
Then point a gun at them and demand some money?
That’s one way. I rather thought about continuing driving and hitting them with the door.
Innovation, you my friend, have it!
You sue, for stress?
I think you should drive up on the curb just to see if you can make them jump.
@ Arthur
Let’s go against convention, just this once. It’ll make Rachel D laugh.
Look at you, expanding your horizons.
Jam is levelling some mountains? How eco-unfriendly!
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don’t confuse them with mountains.
Oh wait…
Go back to your room Shakira!!!
But she looks good while doing it.
@ Jam:
Everything makes Rachel D laugh…
We had to put up this sign to keep the lawyers happy. No intended action or anything.
This is actually more of an urban thing. Kids jump in front of your car, pretend to be grievously injured whether they are or not, and collect your insurance money.
is that blood i see on the pole ;P
I dont get it? whats the fail?
did he died?
What exactly is the fail here, especially on the part of the parents? If you believe you can educate your kids never to run onto the street after a ball, you’ve never spent any time with a kid below the age of 10. And if you believe parents should never let their kids outside unsupervised, well, enjoy your neurotic, unfit-for-life helicopter-parented zombies.
Helicopter-parented zombies? WTF?
You didn’t know?
Grab your shotgun, quick!
*grabs shotgun*
Time to unleash the furry!
Awww. I knew I shouldn’t have shaved myself today.
I have a spare Mirkin….it is a start.
Well said, Sir.
The submitters idea of parenting seems to include shock collars and chains in the basement.
….have I been doing it wrong?
Don’t worry — it will be a while before they are old enough to sue.
Yeah, no FAIL here at all. I live in Japan and signs like this are perfectly normal. This is a legitimate warning to drivers that children are in the area.
They need to be aware so they don’t get any dents in their shiny BMWs.
The previous fail links to your delurk day!
Wow. I’m surprised you’d even remember.
I don’t really think of that one as when I stopped lurking, as I’d didn’t post again for almost 3 months.
I didn’t remember; I clicked, I scrolled, I saw.
Don’t be embarrassed, back then we had the infamous 300 barrier – after 300 comments you had to click “show all” or you wouldn’t see every comment. I spammed a couple of threads with the same comment until I realized…
Ha! Up until now I hadn’t known why that happened.
Brazzy says: harden the f*ck up!
Kris Kross will make you
Jump! Jump!
So they tripped on their loose jeans. I see now!
They fell off the kerb backwards!
I heard Daddy Mac made them
I’m pretty sure it was the Mac Dad. (Ronald McDonald?)
I guess maybe I should take the candy off my bumber
bumper even
awe
What’s with the sad faces?
they took away the candy and the bumber!
*shrugs*
Beats me.
Whip or paddle?
Oh, you crack me up!
I try
Wouldn’t “yes” have been the correct answer?
*shhhhhhhh*
Arthur, do you want them to sink your batlleship?!
I have a battleship? Woohoo, take that Abramovitch!
*looks confused*
Do battleships have oars then?
after much swerving I hit one!
I read that wrong…..am I warped?
I saw….After much swearing I bit one!
I think I need a lie down.
there there….
*consoles nervously*
*jumps in car and speeds off*
*Chews corner of table whilst contemplating life*
*lies under table catching splinters in mouth contemplating life*
Ah, the eternal struggle of kid v car.
*was told to go and play in the traffic as a child*
Actually, when I was about 5 or 6 I used to walk home from school sometimes stopping to empty my bag on the curb in a hap hazard manner and then lie down in the gutter pretending to be run over. hee hee!
Hahaha. Did anyone fall for it?
*Was told to play on the Spine Road too. I would have but I couldn’t be arsed to walk that far.*
hahahaha! Laziness win!
luckily I opened my door or I would have definitely missed
actually saw this happen the other day, NOT NICE!
Snap, the parent pushed a pushchair into the road without looking, that was nice.
(luckily the driver had slowed down enough that the little one just bounced, but still!)
I think this one was either dead or very badly hurt, I didn’t stick around though
…had no choice, had to administer first aid till the ambulance got there.
good for you! I am trained in that too, but so many people about and across the road from the police station I called ambulance and got out of there
I hope everything was OK, *sigh
The worst one I ever dealt with was when I was 10, I was the only one who knew anything in a whole crowd of gawping idiots, I held the guys brain in till the ambulance got there, I think that may have been a defining moment in my life to be honest.
A wafer thin one? :pukeyface:
nice work! not sure I would have managed that one
Anyone can do it, if their mind is in the right place, …and their stomach stays where it is meant to be!
Anyone theoretically could, but few would. Well done!
I’ve seen it happen a few times. Once, the driver just f*cked off and left the lad lying there.
Yeowch, did you get a plate?
plenty to go round (sorry)
I was too far away.
Was a long time ago too.
I was just hunting for dinner.
Be vewy vewy quiet?
there’s one coming out of it’s hole now!
STOP!
Hammer time!
*blats*
Blatz? We need to upgrade your choice of spirits.
this is why I always use a pony (clickie)
Bwahahaha! *squeeze*
*squeeze!*
It’s not a squeeze if you keep rubbing.
*squeeze*
hug ‘n tug?
*squeeze!*
rub ‘n hug?
*squeeze!*
Nice!
ALL YOUR KIDS ARE BELONG TO US!!!
Darwin Win!
*cruises around neighborhoods*
*waits for children to jump out*
Like that more than the usual signs, straight to the point. Somewhat desensitizing though.
I love how they this is tagged “Suburban”….the person who posted this has never been to Long Beach; it’s the home of Snoop Dog and right in the heart of LA….probably the most urban place this side of the Mississippi…..
You got that right. LBC baby!!
No, I live in this neighborhood, it’s directly opposite CSLUB, not exactly “Da Hood”. It’s really very suburban and upper middle class posh. You should watch less 1990′s music videos. You, my friend, fail.
This is not a joke, and surely not a fail to laugh at. It is real. There is a stupid game among children: to cross the street in front of a moving car, and the winner is the one that makes is as close as possible to the car.
Yes, we should ask ourselves how come children invented such a game- but this is not the right forum for this.
It is sad- and fully understandable that some parents put those signs on the poles.
Children need clearer understanding from what displayed.
I didn’t know the emo kids had moved on from cutting to car jumping. Just as well I suppose, it is probably more effective. If you are going to kill yourself because you are so lonely and worthless at least have the decency to go out with a bang..or a metallic thud at least. Now I am not bashing on people who genuinely have mental health issues and try to commit suicide. I am only bashing the kids who “Try to commit suicide” for attention. I do understand there is a difference.
I don’t think this is the point. I know this game from Israel some years ago, many parents desperated, it left a few dead kids. Now it is forgotten, luckily.
It was a game of courage and speed, the aim was to prove to the others that you are brave, more brave than your buddy who ran in fron of the car when the car was far away.
It is not suicide, since kids do not understand death. They surely know computer games and the reset button, but as I said, this is not the right forum for this kind of discussions.
I was only angry at this posting of the photo. It is not a fail and not a joke.
Just a note: this doesn’t mean ‘Warning, kids are going to jump in front of your car’; it means ‘Please drive slowly enough that, in the fairly unlikely event that a kid you didn’t see runs into the road, you can still stop’.
Might as well take a picture of a ‘Slow: School’ sign in the holidays and call it a fail.
right, absolutely right. see my earlier post.
actually, that’s not really fail at all. I mean, kids really are that stupid, it’s not the parents fault!
is that blood`?
Insurance fraud anyone?
I say natural selection win
Are those kids zombies or what?
JASON!!
The wording on this sign is a fail. Makes the kid and the parents sound stupid. I grew up in So Cal, NOT a good idea to let your kids out in the front yard unattended. One of my friends was almost kidnapped… we were walking down the street and 2 Hispanic males jumped out of a truck and were grabbing my friend. Her Mom was watching from the window and screamed at them, so they let her go. One of MANY stories I have. Backyard… sure, front yard… No. If a driver is going 25 and a child runs out in front of them, it is the fault of the parent.
Aahhh….. Long Beach. Such a classy town.
Really more of a parenting fail. Just teaching the youngsters how to shirk all possible forms of responsibility for your actions.
sigh……. I weep for the future
lol…
i thinks the creator misspelled “kids” for lion or something
sure! oO
Dude, this one time on a road much like that, the ball did bounce in front of my car and the kids did come out…they “lost” the basketball into the windsheild of the guy i was following… but they jumped out of his pissed off way and that’s when they jumped in front of my car that happened to be going up there driveway
Welcome to Suicideville!!!
Suicidal kids.
The dripping “blood “above the sticker just adds so much to the photo. lol
*buys a snowplow*
Caution? No…. this is oppurtunity…
it looks more like stick-kid was pushed instead of jumping
Hey if a kid jumps in front of your car, yeah it’s traumatic. but it saves the world from having to deal with an adult moron. If you have learned to jump, and are allowed to play outside, you need to know that cars are big and will kill you. If you don’t grasp said concept and your parent’s aren’t smart enough to protect you, then chances are you and your parent’s are too stupid to live. So if you live here and see this sign, and it is not a joke, then you might be a half wit.
There’s a few in my neighborhood I wish would jump out in front of cars.
