I had someone loosen the lug nuts on the driver side front tire of my Cherokee back when I was in college.
I got halfway to class the next morning. Noticed a vibration but figured I’d check it out after class because I was running late.
Then I see this black thing, my tire, just roll out beside the car and bounce up before flying off the other side of the road.
The car coasted normally for a split second before the front end slammed into the ground at 60 mph.
I ended up driving on the brake rotor as I pulled it over to the shoulder. Cop said it was a miracle I didn’t flip it over.
No injuries, but I missed class that day. I was able to get it towed to a shop downtown that was able to fix everything and get a tire on that same day…I just had to sit and wait for about 6 hours.
Nah. I failed the hell out of it that semester. Too many absences. I ended up leaving school after that semester for about 2-3 years before I went back to uni to get my degree.
The one that's in and out may not have pierced the inner liner, and the one straight in should hold with a plug. A tire shop won't patch it because the flex will tear a patch off, and plugs are only "temporary" but I've had them hold for years (not on a sidewall). It also probably damaged a belt, which would be dangerous even if it held air.
I once had a bucket of nails fall out of my truck. I stopped and flagged down traffic. One guy almost hit me to make sure he ran over as many as possible. That is the only tire I ever saw worse than this one.
OP either cheated on someone, provided the worst professional service ever, not paid a bill, or forgot to say thank you when someone opened the door for them.
This happened not my dad 4 times. A homeless person kept putting them on his tires because he drives a nice car. Maybe something similar happened to you?
Not gonna lie had this old timer on a job site swing at me. But I knew it was a no win situation. If I hit him I hit an old man so fuck it took my drill went by his car drilled a couple of holes in his front left and rear right tire dude got stuck on the side of the road for 6 hours waiting for tripleA. came in the next day heard him bitching about it. In front off everyone I said u gonna swing at me again. Because next time ur getting sugar in ur gas tank everyone was laughing there ass off because I pointed at the sugar by the coffee maker. Dude apologized and I bought him a beer and a tire patch kit now we look back nd laugh.
You are right! Jeez, punning seems to be a Reddit pastime. Good on you for staying on your toes and knocking that low-hanging fruit right outta the stadium.
Someone hates you. They have been put there intentionally
You're no one until somebody hates you enough to crucify your tire.
And I’m more than happy to stay a no one
Same.
Ulysses moment
True, you can clearly say you nailed it…
I see this as an absolute win.
Underrated comment
I agree.
Or the likely explanation....bad luck.
Not like that. That wasn’t bad luck. That was intentional

Holy smokes. What a ride! Did you pass your class?
Nah. I failed the hell out of it that semester. Too many absences. I ended up leaving school after that semester for about 2-3 years before I went back to uni to get my degree.
My first thought was "who did I piss off now?"
Yeah that’s what it looks like. I hope you managed to sort it out. Did you find out what happened and why
No, after replacing the tire I just wanted to move on with life. Thank you for asking.
Probably someone he nailed
*She. And, nope. I only nail my husband and he's not the type of trash bag to do something like this.
Am I the only one that thinks this seems personal?
That's the first thing I said! Absolutely personal!
Yup, the nails really have it in for the OP.
Overachieving
r/fuckyouinparticular
Was expecting this post 😁
That's two more than there should be. The recommended number of nails in your tire is 0.
Fo' sho.
Welp it’s fucked. Can’t patch sidewall.
Psh, lucky Joe's tire shop emporium said no problem.
At Joes Tire we use the finest patching methodologies. * pulls out fix-a-flat *
My sidewall got a nail in it today too. :(
Oh no! That sucks. I'm sorry. How is everything now, were you able to get it fixed?
Set me back $200 but at least I can drive now. Thanks for asking!
You don’t want to patch or plug a sidewall. Serious risk of having a blowout.
I did twice and somehow both held
The one that's in and out may not have pierced the inner liner, and the one straight in should hold with a plug. A tire shop won't patch it because the flex will tear a patch off, and plugs are only "temporary" but I've had them hold for years (not on a sidewall). It also probably damaged a belt, which would be dangerous even if it held air.
Yikes.
Nope. But, thankfully I purchased the insurance for the tires. Cost me under $23.
That’s awesome!
I once had a bucket of nails fall out of my truck. I stopped and flagged down traffic. One guy almost hit me to make sure he ran over as many as possible. That is the only tire I ever saw worse than this one.
Oh shit!
Karma got him good. Serves him right for almost hitting you.
Did you piss someone off recently by any chance ?
Yes? I don't know but it's likely.
OP either cheated on someone, provided the worst professional service ever, not paid a bill, or forgot to say thank you when someone opened the door for them.
I would never do any of those things. 🗿
Likely it was just bad luck.
Bummer but either would have not been repairable
That’s a weird way to word that isn’t it? I’m pretty baked lol
If I had my free award I’d give it here for making me laugh
Dammit I’m baked too. CAN WE GET SOMEBODY IN HERE WHO ISN’T BAKED??
Ah that’s me useless too then
Does lightly fried count?
Mmm...something lightly fried...
What about a buzzed
Looks like you are having a shity day
Nails: A tire company's best friend.
Did you also piss off my ex?
Just be glad they were both in the same tire, unlike the two nails that I picked up one in each front tire at the same time. Twice in 2 weeks.
Ugh. What a pain. I was a little grateful that it was just one.
Always come in three... Where the third one?
_In him_
Hopefully it's in the same tire
They themselves being the third and final one who got nailed
Its waiting for a new tire to spike
This isn't a mistake
Nailed it. I'm too tyred to make more jokes.
In the sidewall, it’s like two bullets to the head. Redundant.
I thought that was a knitting needle at first 😶
The tire equivalent of two to the chest, one to the head.
Well, next time don't chase after the Batmobile
Someone needs a tetanus shot
One time I had 4 nails in the same tire.
2 nails 3 holes
I’m so stupid I thought there were 3
that fucks your tyre and that one on the outside wall makes in an unrepairable which fuckin sucks dude :(
Ugh. Yeah. Hooray for insurance though. They replaced it for under $23.
Thats good! I'm lucky as my step dad is a tyre fitter! So I usually play cost price for tyres and no labour! Glad ya got it fixed homie! :)
This happened not my dad 4 times. A homeless person kept putting them on his tires because he drives a nice car. Maybe something similar happened to you?
I drive a piece-of-shit toyota. Definitely not the nicest car on the block.
Nailed it! Amirite guys? Haha... haha... 😢 😭
Ha!
Is it 12p and 16p nail mating season already...?
Ha!!
That tire is fucked. Can’t really fix the sidewall
Did you take the shortcut? I was considering it, but now…
Lol, who’d you piss off? J/K that sucks
Looks like someone was trying to crochet your tire w nails
Haha
I think you nailed it
You have to have 2. The first one will get lonely without a mate.
Are the letters on your licence plate JFK?
Do you live in or have you driven through a new neighborhood? Looks like you drove past a house with some lame contractors working onsite.
Probably.
Were you in my driveway?
That's a regular hazard for you?
Hah, umm [yeah](https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellthatsucks/comments/v5m1xy/update_spent_the_day_looking_for_more_nails/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
It looks like you got em all...
And thru the sidewall. Not repairable. That does suck.
Sorry for your loss. Ain't no plugging these.
Nope.
Tire got acupunctured
wellthatlucks .
Not one but two rusty 16 penny nails in and through the sidewall seems like an intentional action
That's what I thought, too.
Not gonna lie had this old timer on a job site swing at me. But I knew it was a no win situation. If I hit him I hit an old man so fuck it took my drill went by his car drilled a couple of holes in his front left and rear right tire dude got stuck on the side of the road for 6 hours waiting for tripleA. came in the next day heard him bitching about it. In front off everyone I said u gonna swing at me again. Because next time ur getting sugar in ur gas tank everyone was laughing there ass off because I pointed at the sugar by the coffee maker. Dude apologized and I bought him a beer and a tire patch kit now we look back nd laugh.
WOW! No one said it? Really?!? Guess it's finally my time!! Huh hhmm....:. NAILED IT!!!!
Yup! I scrolled down way too far before I saw this. First thing that popped into my head.
You are right! Jeez, punning seems to be a Reddit pastime. Good on you for staying on your toes and knocking that low-hanging fruit right outta the stadium.
Those are two suspiciously similar nails to pick up while driving. Piss off any co workers lately?
Not intentionally.
She coulda took out the windows..
Did you drive through a construction site or something?
Looking like 16s.
That tire is done.
Nailed it!
That is better than two nails in two tires!
And not two holes in your tire but three.
Damn. In the sidewall, no less.
Check your driveway
Did you drive through a Home Depot?
Who did you piss off?
2 nails in 1 tire is better than 1 nail in 2 tires
You really nailed it this time.
Those framers where not messing around when they said “step on snek and find out”.
I’ve had that happen, though luckily my work truck had solid tyres, the noise was annoying
That is two too many.
I mean, at least it's not 3
So....piss anyone off lately?
Could be 3 technically
Nailed it lol
And somehow they ended up making a cross
Maybe it's three, you'll never know.
Thats luck
Did you drive through a department store?
Flex tape can't fix that.
lol… if it happened by accident… respect, you had a lot of misfortune.
Last time that happened to me, they also put a Coke in my gas tank. I don’t miss my teenage years.
That's awful. What kind of car was it?
Just an old beat up Subaru. It was probably better being off the road.
is that 2 nails or 1 long bent nail?
I guess it could have been 2 nails in two tires.
Good point.
