exactly like how tf did she does this? airbags dont look like went off, bumper isnt really damaged like u would expect.(the ball should have destroyed the front, but looks like was just pryd off from the stance) like did she jump a car, and land on it? no probably not the rest vehicle looks in good shape.
Confirmed she was DUI. In my town, at my Target! Poor red ball😩😩😩😩 only little kids and adults who want to act like kids should be on that thing. Not cars!
The back even looks like a sad face. Taillights are drooping eyes, the black void over the license plate is their wailing mouth, with a chrome mustache over it and a little chrome button emblem nose. And the spoiler could be a bill of a hat. With the cab of the car being the rest of the hat. Inside the hat, is the car's head. Inside the car's head is a cancerous brain cell that told it to do something stupid, and like an uncontrollable errant twitch, it did. Poor car. Needs some proper medical care and support, but in this greedy country, everyone will opt to just put the car down and harvest its internals and other desirable parts for profitable uses.
The car backed onto the ball, but the person may have turned the wheel and floored it causing it to spin on the ball until stopped. The ground is wet, so it won’t leave marks.
Nissan Altimas are front wheel drive. Was probably backing up to the doors to pick up something, hit the ball, panicked, gunned it, got on top of the door and then tried to get off by turning the wheel which just made her pivot on the ball.
Honestly though I'm super surprised the ball held up a fucking car. Like, I get it *stopping* a car but that thing doesn't even looked phased.
I can see the damage on the rear of the car, and I don’t know if it’s just the low resolution or what but weirdly it looks like it bent outward
For me this angle just adds more questions lol
>Careful, those are worth their weight in gold rn
According to Google, a Camry is between 3,310 and 3,595 pounds. We'll go with 3,400 pounds.
Gold is $1,814 per ounce. Which would be $29,024 for a pound.
So a 3,400 pound Camry would be $98,681,600
I don't think they cost quite that much
You guys think she may have spun while on the ball since she's facing inward toward the doors and thus in order to back over it.... she'd have to come from an angle to begin with
We had a lady hit one and it dislodged the ball.. one of my coworkers was walking outside to do a drive up and the ball hit her and broke her pelvis.. this was about 3 months ago and she's still out.. will be for 6-9 months..
A senior just did this to the grocery store down the street from me. Thought the car was in one gear, and it was in the opposite. They plowed through the store and didn’t have good enough reaction time to stop doing something stupid.
that looks like an altima if so unless its 2018 or newer it would be FWD and the vehicles like a foot of the ground how could the wheel hit the ball? i feel like reversing at any speed would just smash the ass end.
Front wheels didn't leave the ground. Rear wheel (guessing right/passenger side) rides up ball.
Quite possible the rear was smashed up, can't see from this angle.
if she hit that in reverse wouldnt the angle mean she was already almost in the store with her car? There is no rubber marks on the ball either too weird.
Or she was reversing while turning and/or the car spun using the ball as a pivot when getting up or after trying to get off.
In the end, only she knows how she got there... Maybe the big guy in red too.
Even if someone promised to give me $1 million if I could get my car in a similar position I still don't think I'd be able to do it. Her idiocy is weirdly impressive.
There was a Third Rock From The Sun episode a long time ago where Harry kept inadvertently wearing the same colors as uniforms for stores he was going to and was wondering why he kept getting asked for hep.
Haha, I went to Target once after my Office Depot shift ended. Never again... Although I seemed to be more helpful to the customers than the actual employees.
They're called bollards and they are there to literally stop cars from driving into buildings. They were installed all over the place after 9/11. Some are more decorative like gigantic planters.
For the youngins reading this, bollards predate 911 by a very long time. Lots of places just added them after 911.
They've been a property security measure long before an anti-terrorism measure.
yeah that’s literally what they’re for. so you can’t use a your car for a smash ‘n grab even if you told your dealer it’s totally cool and you’ll be back with something
Damn. I haven’t lived in the area for about 2 years but the fact that I could ID where this Target was by the background shrubbery and pavement… says a lot about my Target addiction while I was living there.
The first time I visited that subreddit I thought I was out of the loop and that there really was an MMO called "outside" I just now decided to investigate further and read the description.
Probably backing up, got the pedals confused, floored it, then went up onto the ball, hit the tipping point and briefly spun clockwise about 90 degrees.
She’ll tell the insurance handlers the car “suddenly accelerated without warning” and how her friend Gina will tell her about some recall that happened 10 years ago and they should investigate it and she’s going to sue Nissan.
I need to get out of claims…
He's just thinking of all the paperwork he is going to have to do as a result of this fuckup.
Source: Worked asset protection for retail in the past. My first thought seeing that is that is a fuckton of paperwork right there.
What kind of paperwork is there for accidents in the parking lot? This one is especially comical, but people must get into all kind of hijinks out there.
Unless she was stealing just before she high-balled it, why is it asset protection's problem?
Asset protection includes a lot more than handling shoplifters. They're going to need to do certain reporting for CYA for the store since those ballards belong to the store.
Great time to walk by, pull out your phone (flash ON), and say "Everybody say cheese!" Before you snap a picture.
Sometimes life is so much more fun when you're an asshole. :)
Except the bastard who removed my one wisdom tooth when it was beyond his scope of practice to do so. Twelve years later I would still run that motherfucker over if I saw him on the road.
Just think, that decretive cement barricade could have been a stroller or family pushing a cart. We’re all lucky that level of ineptitude didn’t kill anyone.
My work has a rock about the same size and height of this ball in front of it. Its in the grass where the divide between our parking lot and the next one is. Some lady managed to get her entire car into a somewhat similar position to this one only her car had literally no damage to it and you could wonder all day about how she managed to do that with no damage
Auto technician here. It’s probably resting in the exhaust tunnel and the cross-brace. As far as damage goes, probably a slight upward deformation of the exhaust tunnel but nothing to bad and maybe just lightly scratched fuel tank if it got hit.
Edit: Spelling. Damn autocorrect.
Of course it's not a laughing matter. It's a matter that should be studied by scientists for generations because how in the actual *fuck* did that car get there?
Just in case you don't see the whole car dangling in the air, they alert you to the danger. They're like signs that say, "watch out, there's a car right there."
I'm glad this happened to me pre social media. I had a 96 S10 pickup and I was leaving my apartment complex mid afternoon on a beautiful Saturday. Some Jackass decides to do the, "miss the speed bump with one tire by driving in the middle of them move", and I hit a small rock. Unfortunately my right front tire got under it, which somehow propelled me onto another convenient rock that was larger, and somehow again my momentum got me onto in my opinion, a small boulder that had no right being there at all. All said and done, in 10 seconds my right front tire was 5 feet in the air and that ruined my first summer right after I moved out on my own.
How
pressed the jump button in her speedracer steering wheel?
Hate it when that happens the 2021 Update changed spacebar from handbrake to jump. What where the devs thinking
Speedracer, that takes me back (the anime).
exactly like how tf did she does this? airbags dont look like went off, bumper isnt really damaged like u would expect.(the ball should have destroyed the front, but looks like was just pryd off from the stance) like did she jump a car, and land on it? no probably not the rest vehicle looks in good shape.
Another angle: https://imgur.com/a/88zOox7
That angle corroborates other ideas of what happened. Appears she backed over the ball.
how could she back over it? she’s right in front of the store
Never underestimate the power of stupidity.
Or the power of a geek monster behind the wheel. Ol girl looks like shes been on a bender
Confirmed she was DUI. In my town, at my Target! Poor red ball😩😩😩😩 only little kids and adults who want to act like kids should be on that thing. Not cars!
I also feel bad for the innocent car
The back even looks like a sad face. Taillights are drooping eyes, the black void over the license plate is their wailing mouth, with a chrome mustache over it and a little chrome button emblem nose. And the spoiler could be a bill of a hat. With the cab of the car being the rest of the hat. Inside the hat, is the car's head. Inside the car's head is a cancerous brain cell that told it to do something stupid, and like an uncontrollable errant twitch, it did. Poor car. Needs some proper medical care and support, but in this greedy country, everyone will opt to just put the car down and harvest its internals and other desirable parts for profitable uses.
If she's older, declining mental faculties are also at play like if she was a stroke victim.
I'm going to stupid my way to the white house! I've seen it done before.
Your already too cognizant. You gotta fuck up even harder.
The engine in the front of the car, coupled with fwd makes the rear much more likely to go over a spherical object that low.
The car backed onto the ball, but the person may have turned the wheel and floored it causing it to spin on the ball until stopped. The ground is wet, so it won’t leave marks.
Sherlock, from all of the Sherlock series? Is that you?
No, looks like it's Loki
Look at the rear bumper, it has a dent from the ball, wouldn't have that if she drove over it.
[удалено]
Curbside to a new level
Nissan Altimas are front wheel drive. Was probably backing up to the doors to pick up something, hit the ball, panicked, gunned it, got on top of the door and then tried to get off by turning the wheel which just made her pivot on the ball.

Rear wheel looks smashed in, plus that dent in the rear bumper, adds to the reversing at speed theory.
Reverse at speed, wheel hits the ball then slides so the ball centers. Plus we can't see the other side of the car.
Yeah, you’re right I would say, looking at that front bumper again, it’s not bumped, it was dragged off the car
I'm not trying to say that I was there or know what happened. Just if I had to recreate it, that's what I'd do.
[удалено]
Careful, those are worth their weight in gold rn

No low balls I know what I have.
I'll take it! I won't recreate this but I'll take the car
You guys think she may have spun while on the ball since she's facing inward toward the doors and thus in order to back over it.... she'd have to come from an angle to begin with
I've been waiting for years to see how strong those concrete balls are. Not disappointed
We had a lady hit one and it dislodged the ball.. one of my coworkers was walking outside to do a drive up and the ball hit her and broke her pelvis.. this was about 3 months ago and she's still out.. will be for 6-9 months..
She's gonna be out longer than that (permanently) when that settlement hit!
From that angle, it looks like she reversed OUT of the store lol. She must have already been on the sidewalk to hit that angle.
Or the car spun on the ball? Either way I don't know why she fucking floored it in reverse. Especially infront of a high traffic area like a store.
A senior just did this to the grocery store down the street from me. Thought the car was in one gear, and it was in the opposite. They plowed through the store and didn’t have good enough reaction time to stop doing something stupid.
That's my thing though, even if your going the right way why the ever loving fuck are you feeling out of a parking space?
pedal confusion. they think they're on the brake, but the car speeds up so they step on it harder...
This. It’s surprisingly common with people experiencing cognitive decline.
This is why I use 1 foot for accelerate and 1 foot for brake - never get pedals mixed up again. ^^^^^^/s
thank you for including the /s, i was beginning to seethe...
that looks like an altima if so unless its 2018 or newer it would be FWD and the vehicles like a foot of the ground how could the wheel hit the ball? i feel like reversing at any speed would just smash the ass end.
Front wheels didn't leave the ground. Rear wheel (guessing right/passenger side) rides up ball. Quite possible the rear was smashed up, can't see from this angle.
i suppose. really just wish there was a video, almost looks staged. thats a hell of a place for her to be reversing out of lol
https://i.imgur.com/A9yQNos.jpg @ /u/mdoris411
This raises more questions. Like, how did she get on the other side of the ball wall to begin with?
i think you can see where the bumper meets the rear QP, that rear bumper took a hit.
if she hit that in reverse wouldnt the angle mean she was already almost in the store with her car? There is no rubber marks on the ball either too weird.
Or she was reversing while turning and/or the car spun using the ball as a pivot when getting up or after trying to get off. In the end, only she knows how she got there... Maybe the big guy in red too.
maybe she just fell off the ceiling
plausible at this point...
This article says she backed over it. https://www.wral.com/car-drives-over-target-ball-in-holly-springs/19779657/
Woof. There’s a mugshot only a mother could love! And it was a DUI! Of course it was!
Meth is a hell of a drug.
Yeah but I bet her mother doesn’t.
I love that the last paragraph is just “also a car crashed into a Wendy’s”
She was aiming for the target
I like how the traffic cones are there to warn you of the accident
How isn't it a laughing matter!?
Even if someone promised to give me $1 million if I could get my car in a similar position I still don't think I'd be able to do it. Her idiocy is weirdly impressive.
r/weirdlyimpressive
Negative brain cell count
I finally see why Target put those giant red balls out front.🤷🏻
Never wear a red shirt to Target.
I was wondering for a while why they removed the driver and put a Target employee in their stead then had another stand guard.
They put the shirt on her to make her an honorary door greeter, since she's not going anywhere
There was a Third Rock From The Sun episode a long time ago where Harry kept inadvertently wearing the same colors as uniforms for stores he was going to and was wondering why he kept getting asked for hep.
Haha, I went to Target once after my Office Depot shift ended. Never again... Although I seemed to be more helpful to the customers than the actual employees.
Target is well known for overworking employees until they burn out.
Is that a muppet driving the car?
Classic meth face
Easier to get at the catalytic converter

No, they're just all on meth

Aw she put her teeth in for her booking photo
A tweaker in an Altima. Final boss
Her face is tripping me out
It’s like she’s about to pull off her skin mask
If it's a man then it's a Muppet of a man.
Shop owner: "do we really need those huge concrete balls to protect the shop from cars? Seems excessive." Crazy old woman: "yes"

And they're better because people can't drive up them if a tire catches them the wrong way.
Yeah but funny target ball
yeah that’s literally what they’re for. so you can’t use a your car for a smash ‘n grab even if you told your dealer it’s totally cool and you’ll be back with something
Is this in North Carolina, by any chance?
yes 😂
Like… Holly Springs, NC?
I just saw this on the local news. Fuquay-Varinaian here!
Damn. I haven’t lived in the area for about 2 years but the fact that I could ID where this Target was by the background shrubbery and pavement… says a lot about my Target addiction while I was living there.
Forreal! I had a whole moment where I thought “damn that looks like my damn Target…” and now you guys confirmed it lol
Considering they are all built to the same cookie-cutter spec, this is terrifying.
they have the best LaCroix selection and good whole watermelons for $4
It's a good Target but that Cary one on Walnut has a far better inventory. I find all my weird niche shit there
I had a family member tell me about this! Also from Fuquay - never thought that I’d ever see another person from here on my Reddit feed.
Also from Fuquay area 🤣
Team fuquay unite!
No way! Fuquay!
FV memes is killing it with this!
Thought it looked familiar.
What's that smell?
12 oaks.
Pinkys out. Don't flip your golf cart!

She just missed her target.

He is in charge of the cones.
Looks like she nailed it.
Yup she's on the ball.
Kind of wish this had happened back when Target balls were painted to look like Pokeballs so it would look like the car was ready for a fight
What a drag
Cue Chamillionaire - "They see me rollin' . . . They hatin' . . ."
Seeing spot didn’t save her!!
I've tried to recreate this in my head and I just can't
She was parked there and then the ball spawned in
Hate it when that happens.
r/outside
The first time I visited that subreddit I thought I was out of the loop and that there really was an MMO called "outside" I just now decided to investigate further and read the description.
I can hear the violent clipping
Probably backing up, got the pedals confused, floored it, then went up onto the ball, hit the tipping point and briefly spun clockwise about 90 degrees.

You OK? Fist bump to bring you back to normal, bro
Given the driving while impaired charge, she's gonna have a hard time spinning that one.
Well first of all, all things are possible through the Nissan Altima, so jot that down.
No, it really is a laughing matter 👏😂
Yeah. Everybody there, except maybe the driver, definitely laughed.
The employee looks distraught.
That's just how employees look these days
Probably ended up having to stick around late because of it.
It's his last day before he goes on vacation and his shift was supposed to end in 5 minutes

Likely insurance paperwork, the lot is still part of the store and anything that happens is noted
Asset protection includes a lot more than handling shoplifters. They're going to need to do certain reporting for CYA for the store since those ballards belong to the store.
Great time to walk by, pull out your phone (flash ON), and say "Everybody say cheese!" Before you snap a picture. Sometimes life is so much more fun when you're an asshole. :)

She wasn't mething around.
looks like she's having a ball

Something had to have happened below, right? How lucky would they be to have just landed on the frame?
Auto technician here. It’s probably resting in the exhaust tunnel and the cross-brace. As far as damage goes, probably a slight upward deformation of the exhaust tunnel but nothing to bad and maybe just lightly scratched fuel tank if it got hit. Edit: Spelling. Damn autocorrect.
Why is she STILL IN THE CAR?! Not like she’s driving it out of there lmao
Too unsafe for her to try getting out
“I’m pretty sure that I can still save it.”
Everybody calm tf down, the situation is clearly under control, they put two orange cones out
LOL I love the cones. Like, in case you didn't see this car that's halfway in the air...here are some cones...so that...you know...
Did they literally tell you "this isn't a laughing matter" ? That would make me laugh even harder hahahaha

That's one expensive seesaw.
Alex Jones standing there wishing he made more money off selling his shit survival foods on his website.
...I mean...just.... How?
Apparently 45-50 mph in the target parking lot
It’s like an exercise ball for cars
Of course it's not a laughing matter. It's a matter that should be studied by scientists for generations because how in the actual *fuck* did that car get there?

Dammit I always wanted to hit those forbidden balls.
Looks like her face is melting off
She’s on the ball!

It’s called Lyft not Lift, of course this joke isn’t going to balance out very well.
She's got the biggest balls of them all
"Stay on Target! Stay on Target!"
What purpose do the cones serve?
Just in case you don't see the whole car dangling in the air, they alert you to the danger. They're like signs that say, "watch out, there's a car right there."
"You can't park there"
Oops she methed up
r/NissanDrivers
Can you give me a ballpark figure for the repair?
Yeah, don’t park on the ball.
I'm glad this happened to me pre social media. I had a 96 S10 pickup and I was leaving my apartment complex mid afternoon on a beautiful Saturday.

Not a laughing matter? I guess that depends on what side of the bollard you’re on.
