My friend was nice enough to get a filled 26 foot U Haul stuck after a long day

[mysticmac]

I helped a friend load up a 26 foot U Haul with a housefull of furniture that he bought, then he got the truck stuck in the driveway as we go to leave.

The front of the truck was at the neighbor's fence, and the back tires were spinning so we couldn't backup. We tried putting lumber under the back tires to no avail, then I spent about an hour on the phone with various tow truck companies since my friend's English is as bad as his driving.

I ended up catching an Uber home after missing the opportunity to meetup with friends to watch the fights. I'm drenched in sweat, hungry, and tired.

What happened? I don't quite understand how or why the wheels were spinning.

 

[mysticmac]

The driveway is on a hill and has a 45 degree turn in it close to the garage. The truck was backed up to the garage, and he tried to angle it around that turn through a series of moving forward and back. He drove forward as far as he could to the fence, then caught the back tire on the passenger side on the rocks that separate the driveway from the yard near the turn. There isn't enough weight over the tire that is actually still on the driveway to get enough traction to back back up the hill where the turn is. It has also been raining all day, so the driveway is slick.

At one point, he got out of the truck to see what was up, and the truck started rolling forward. We had to yell at him to get back on the brake.

Jesus can you get a tow rope and a friendly neighbor?

Also shovel out the rocks and pack with a plank of dry timber like a couple of 4x2's

Not my neck of the woods, and the home owner didn't seem to know many people around there. He's also moving to China, so his house was basically empty supply wise.

The rocks are not small shovelable ones. They are giant ones that would take multiple people to move. Though that doesn't really come through in my crappy pics.

I laid out some options like trying the 2x's or calling for a tow. The guys I was working with are all 50-something year old small Asian men that don't have much experience with anything remotely like this. They jumped at the idea of calling for a tow. After spending five hours carrying all the heavy crap onto the truck (I'm a lot younger/bigger than them), I was not opposed to taking the easy way out, so I booked the tow truck for them and bounced.

I had to go through five or six tow companies before I could find someone who could handle the load (the driveway is long and narrow, so large equipment can't fit in there) and get there in less than three hours. Honestly, those companies probably wouldn't have showed up had my friend called as his English is poor and his accent is heavy. They'd already have a headache having to deal with the truck and they'd have another headache even trying to get an idea of the job had he been the one trying to explain it.

I did share some good laughs with one of the drivers after explaining the situation and sending him those pics. He wasn't able to take the job, but did recommend the right company. Dude knew his shit.

Also, do you guys call them 4x2's? I would have thought you'd use some metric system naming thingy?

Yeah we use "4B2" meaning four inches by two inches, we use inches for wood and cock size but everything else is in metric.

I mean come on, imagine sexting a sloot saying "Id love to slide my 23.5 centimeter cock into you"

lol

In the US, we call them 2x4's rather than 4x2's. Most of the time, we simply refer to them as 2x's (pronounced, two bys) as non dolts can figure out how wide the boards that are needed are suppose to be. There is always that one dolt on the job that comes back with the wrong boards though! LOL

 

[Lord Vutulaki]

So how did you befriend a bunch of 50ish aged asian men? work?

 

[mysticmac]

Next chance I get, I'm telling some chick I'll slide my 23.5 cm cock into her.

Nope, roommate. He moved across the country about eight months ago and recently bought a house. He bought the furniture for the new house. He bought it from another Asian dude who is moving out of the country and was nice enough to help us load the truck. The other Asian dude was simply a friend of my roommate that I met today.

The roommate is a cool dude. He use to own a restaurant in Chicago and makes great food. He's happy to sit down, share some food, drink some beers, and crack jokes! He's a funny guy.

Ah okay, I did my time in share accommodation and positive generalizing Asians make the best roomies, clean, dont intrude, never late on their share of the rent, good food, frugal so they keep costs down IE send them to do the weekly shop and they dont come back with Himalayan rock salt or some bullshit you have to put in for. Bonus is if you bring a chic home they dont try to run game on her when youre in the shower or getting more beer or something.

I bring up the Himalayan rock salt cause the wife keeps buying it and telling me that its worth it "Because even mount Everest was under the sea at one stage so....SEA MINERALS" no amount of convincing no amount of convincing the tard that plain old $2KG sea salt has been exposed to sea minerals too

The irony is that she is FOB asian herself but its my money

The fucking cunt.
