Broken down car at freeway exit and making himself comfortable. Don’t worry, everyone will drive around him...maybe.

What intersection is this? What an idiot. It isn't hard to throw a car that size into neutral and push it by yourself.

Probably too much work for him.

To be fair I’ve had my brake caliper fall off while driving and I was totally unmovable until a tow truck came right in front of a high school during release, it was awful

I am sure that those high school kids were very happy to be trapped in school while waiting for that tow truck to pass.

It was just an anecdote about a time when it was impossible for me to move my car no matter how many people tried to help push

Dumb. Guess he’s feeling extra suicidal today.

That’s usually how I feel when my car breaks down in the middle of an intersection

Fair.

Lol. extra

To be fair, it was a lovely day.

If it was just on a residential street, not in the way, it'd be chill. But by the freeway, gtfo.

I feel like this is something he could get ticketed for? Am I wrong?
26
Not sure but he should at least be making an attempt to move his vehicle out of the way. If he tried, good samaritans would no doubt stop to help him.

Lol I stood in the median between two lanes of full traffic for at least thirty minutes when my old car broke down. Not one single person stopped to help or even see if I was okay.
Edited to add: I only commented this to refute the whole "good Samaritan" thing, y'all. Not trying to argue one way or another.

This is actually what I expect normally.
" Someone should help" is a lot easier said than stopping at 60+ mph, getting out of your car, and pushing a vehicle off the road. People are bagging on this kid, but he's pretty much a reflection of the pond.
If it was that much of a concern to people they would have done something about it themselves. He is blocking a lane of traffic so therefore it becomes all of our issues, but it's his problem so who gives a fuck.

I ride a bicycle around quite a bit and have helped probably a dozen people push their car out of the road over the years. Usually, when one guy starts helping a few more people will jump out of cars and help too.

Cars can be pushed easily with a pickup I know when I see old people or loners I help them because I wouldn't want my own elders suffering the same shit.

I'm always torn about helping people on the side of the road. I go on Liveleak a lot and I've seen what can happen to good samaritans.

If you’re standing there on your own, people are going to assume you’re fine and you have someone on the way - whether it’s someone you know or roadside assistance.

At least for me, it is a very different mindset to see someone standing there verses actively trying to push their car out of the way.

I ran back to my house once to grab some girls some water and snacks after a light, but scary for high schooler accident. I was only able to do this because it was ~3 minutes away, they went towards the sidewalk and not the median, and I felt bad because it was hot out. Sorry you didn’t receive anyone checking in, but I only did it because a variety factors allowed me to.
1
I couldn't get to the sidewalk safely or in a timely manner (thus being stuck in the median), and my car was pulled as far over into the very wide left turn lane as I could manage. I only posted this comment to refute the "good Samaritan" point because, like so many people have proven (especially in reply to my original comment), it simply isn't possible/feasible/reasonable for someone to stop.
Now, someone could have stopped for me because there was more than enough safe room to, but no one did. Take that as you will.

Dude what a dummy. At least put it in neutral and push it to the side.

He do be vibin doe

My friend just posted a picture of this guy on her Facebook page! I guess he was fairly “famous” today. But seriously. C’mon guy! Probably not a good idea.

This may as well be an ad for AAA
4
I guess putting it into neutral and pushing it out of the way would be too much work.

Dude just got that car registered too. Probably recently purchased. That sucks
3
I wonder if he'd be offended if I called him a dumbass while also helping him push his car out of the travel lane. Seriously, this is incredibly stupid and dangerous.
3
As soon as he gets hit from behind that trunk is coming down as well
3
Then there will be two of him! Maybe even three.

He looks like he's given up on life and is trying to make the best of a bad situation. Although the trunk is A dumb idea. I would've at least pushed it to the side
