Aside from the obvious ct license plate, there's no other valid info here.

two weeks ago I saw a brand new refrigerator fall off the pack of a pick up on 95 in milford. Looks like those folks have friends!

Pretty sure they could have rented a pickup for the day for like $50, but then you wouldn't get a photo like this, would you?

They should put this picture on the van or truck you can rent from them.

Used to work at home depot in college. The amount of times someone would order a pallet of concrete and show up with a garden trailer or a Tacoma or an suv was insane. Id turn the forklift around and tell them to figure it out. But there was one guy that I will never forget who I made an exception for. Guy had a second gen prius. He was a one man show flooring guy. Tiles, hard wood, you name it. I came out with a full pallet of lvp which is about 2k lbs and see his car. I tell him to rent a truck or come back with something else and he waves me over. This dude had modified the car and outfitted it with overload springs from a quarter ton pickup front end, and modified the trunk lift gate to open 90 degrees. I said hell why not. Dropped the pallet half way in, and pushed it and slid it into his prius. Fit damn near perfectly and with the payload the car sat barely lower than stock. Dude would roll through several times a month and he was the only guy I never turned away. Always makes me laugh and I always wonder if his "truck" is still chugging along.

Wait, do they not have rear glass? Where is the rest of that box that's laying on the trunk?

I had a regular car tire on a rim in my trunk and hit a tree head on. When I retained consciousness the tire was on my passenger side seat.. Sort of. I climbed out and ran away as there was smoke. The tire broke the headrest and the seat and cracked the dashboard and wedged itself between the floor and seat. Its a bit blurry but I remember clearly seeing how close to death I was and the friend I just dropped off having been even closer.

Stuff in hour trunk can kill you.

These are the same people that go into the car dealership and complain about why their cars have problems. Lmao. UHHH ma'am we have a picture of you loading it past its recommended cargo capacity, which is like a carton of milk. But you have enough material loaded to finish Trump's wall. Lol.

I work LP so I figured these ppl just stole all this stuff and then couldn’t figure out how to get all of it into their car when they got outside. But then I realized this is just CT

I had the nearly the exact same experience with my Gen 2 Prius at the HomeDepot in Manchester. I ordered a pallet of flooring, the forklift operator brought the pallet outside and saw my Prius, and then refused to load it. So I took a case of flooring one at a time off the pallet, and filled up the entire car with it. The forklift operate just stared in disbelief as the Prius absorbed an entire pallet of flooring. Then I drove on I84 just fine.

just sitting in the home depot parking lot and watching people try to fit large purchases into their car is pretty entertaining

I drove tractor Trailer for a while and I had it out with the employee where I was delivering who was going to let this older woman (75ish) drive away with a full pallet of mulch w/o straps in her f150. It was squatted. But that's not the worst part. If you know anything about pallets of mulch they tend to be significantly higher than a regular pallet making them VERY top heavy and they are only plastic wrapped together. BIG PROPS to you my friend.

I used to work in receiving at Sears and this sort of shit would happen all the time. I’m sure one of my old coworkers still has a pic of the Prius with a new full sized washer and dryer loaded “in”/on it. I also remember the idiot who took his wife’s Infiniti to pick up his new Craftsman tool box, while his 3500 dually truck was parked at home.
