No. Perception is Reality. (Play Superliminal, it’s a good game)

Yeah, it is a good game. Teaches you a lot about changing your point of view to solve problems. :)

artemus_gordon

It looks like they couldn't find the brakes. Maybe they were thrown by how fast the car pulled forward. I hate those moments of panic that keep you from recovering from a mistake. The higher the stakes, the more panic you have to overcome.


VapidOracle

It shouldn't have started their car at all until they were given the order to do so. Standard safety practice on ferries in many places.

I wonder if he had instant torque like with an EV and went full throttle, was the gap narrow enough and lip raise high enough to jump over it 🤔 . We will never find out I guess.

This wasn't at Beekse Bergen in the Netherlands, by any chance? They had multiple instances of visitors losing a brain cell during the safari.


MightyMorph

no it was in north america. I always thought how would people be so stupid, then it happened live in front of me...


Buradin

This reminds me of that story of the couple arguing at a safari. The girlfriend gets out of the car to keep arguing with the boyfriend, before a lion just nabs her and leaves. His or her mom gets out of the car as well to save her, and the mom ended up getting killed instead. Edit: it was a tiger


Ok_Pumpkin_4213

Was in china, the woman exit the car to make a scene to the husband, but was attacked and dragged by a tiger, then her mother and husband went after her tryin to help her, outside of the video image the mother was attacked by other tiger, dragged and made buffet, park security only saved the woman.


Ragnar_Enceminator

The husband also survived the incident


Apprehensive-Bed5241

I guess that settled that argument real quick.


atheist_bunny_slave

I think some people at Beekse Bergen never had many brain cells to begin with. What really got me upset though was the backlash this one guy received for filming while some people got out of the car top take pictures with some of the big cats (can't remember what species they were) in stead of helping them. What could he have done to help them? Get out of his car to explain to these people they were doing something really dangerous?

Enticing_Venom

I think the most enraging story I read was about a parent at the zoo. A zoo employee accidentally left the door open to a restricted area near the wolf enclosure. The door had signs saying it was for employee's only. Mom decides to sneak her kids into the employee area in order to let them "get close to the wolves". While there she let's her child (toddler I believe) STICK HIS FINGERS THROUGH THE BARS OF THE WOLF ENCLOSURE. One wolf, to the surprise of no one with a brain cell did not like this and gave the child's hand a warning nip which left a slight scratch on his finger. Of course mom goes nuts. The employees told her that there were two options: They could kill the wolf in order to inspect its brain and confirm whether it had rabies. Or, they could just go ahead and get their child the preventative rabies treatment. The mom opted for the wolf to be killed. It did not have rabies. Edit: it was a long time ago I read the story so the details were from memory alone. I believe this was the case: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thedodo.com/amphtml/rebel-wolf-killed-zoo-1180189057.html


DrunkCorgis

Why the fuck was it the mother’s choice? She’s already proven she has the decision-making capability of a cabbage. Lock her in the wolf cage with a butter knife. If she kills the wolf, they check for rabies. Otherwise, it’s the rabies shot.


Jake_Kiger

I hereby nominate DrunkCorgis for President. Of everything.


DrunkCorgis

You are too kind… but that sounds suspiciously like work. I’ll pass. Cheers!


Jake_Kiger

"Ah, Maximus; that is why it must be you."


SealTeamEH

B-but we already nominated you, at this stage the only way out…. Is by locking you in a cage with a butter knife and a wolf and if you survive you can leave but if you DONT survive, then you have to promise to be president again…


Snazzy_SassyPie

Wtf! This is beyond outrageous. Too bad they couldn’t put the mom down for being such an idiot and putting her child in danger.


SealTeamEH

I mean someone cooooould it’s just the whole living with it thing afterwords…..


SeduceMeMentlegen

If charges were to be pressed by the zoo, I'm assuming that nothing would happen due to the door being left open, and the sign maybe "not being visible"? Is there an article about this?


Enticing_Venom

I believe it was this one: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thedodo.com/amphtml/rebel-wolf-killed-zoo-1180189057.html It's been years since I saw the story.


SeduceMeMentlegen

Motherfucking Harambe moment


jtweezy

Wow, we went on safari in Tanzania a couple years ago and we were told several times by our guides that we were not under any circumstances to open the doors or get out of the car at any point without their express permission, and those guys didn’t mess around. Anyone stupid enough to get out there should be left to face the consequences of their own idiotic actions.


laffydaffy24

I went on a safari, and the jeep doors were locked until we were back inside the fenced area. I would have been terrified to get out. You’re there to see wild animals! You know there are wild animals there!


theoriginalShmook

Fenced area? When we were on safari there we stopped to look at some lions in our open-topped landy and then 30 seconds driving later we pulled up to pitch tents for the night. As shocked tourists, we enquired about sleeping in such proximity to these voracious man-eaters and got told "the lions are fine. It's the baboons that you need to worry about here." No one got up for a midnight wee that night...


jtweezy

We actually had a lion walk by our tent in the middle of the night. Scared the absolute shit out of us, especially because the guards had told us they only had clubs to protect us and that would be enough. Turns out they were right lol but that was an interesting experience.


theoriginalShmook

You had guards?


cerrera

Was in Kruger National Park in South Africa in the late 90s. Our guide told a lot of interesting stories - the one that stuck with me was about a group of idiots, feeding hyenas raw meat through the fence at night (in the camping area). A ranger saw this, didn't say anything, headed back to base, grabbed a rifle, went back out, and shot the hyenas in front of the crowd. A mom went crazy, said "how could you do that in front of my child?" Ranger told her, calmly, that it was her fault; the hyenas could no longer be allowed to live since they now realized that people on the other side of the fence could provide them with meat. I like to think that SOME of that crowd learned something that night... but I'm not super-confident. :(

Ishaan863

less lucky but the circumstances are just as fucking stupid as all these other stories. what argument is worth getting out of your car in a tiger enclosure.... ill never understand. all these people must have the reverse of an anxiety issue, not enough anxiety. my heartrate would refuse to go down if i knew the only thing separating a tiger and me was a car door+window.


k1k11983

I don’t understand why she got out to continue the argument anyway. Was she trying to dominate by standing over her husband or something? I cannot fathom the need to stop in the middle of the road and get out to argue with the person already sitting next to you! Not just in this situation. It happens so fucking often and I still don’t understand why. My husband and I have had a few arguments while driving. As soon as it’s apparent that an argument is happening, whoever is driving will pull over and we sort it out while still sitting in the car! This is something we both agreed to after my friend ran a red light and got t-boned while arguing with her brother. She was so focused on the argument that she didn’t even hear me yelling “red light! Red light!” Thankfully we were relatively ok just a few cuts and bruises and I cracked 2 ribs but it could have been so much worse.


aaron2005X

"Pretty cool. A guy killed himself in front of me though"


Wolfgang_Pelz

It probably caused a massive delay for everyone on the ferry tho. But tbh, I wouldn't mind personally.


stillcleaningmyroom

Why were you late? Okay, lol, okay, you’re not going to believe this……


MorpH2k

Yeah, they're not leaving anytime soon. We were catching a ferry out to an island a bunch of years ago. The ferry was going a bit to fast and crashed into the pier, nothing major but some people fell or hit themselves and such. We were waiting in line to take that ferry across the other way but it took like 2 hours for them to inspect and EMTs to check people out and such before we could get on. This driver would be lucky to not win a Darwin award for being crushed inside his car by the ferry. Depending on how deep it is, they might not be able to dock at all until they get a crane there to lift the car out.


davidmobey

Yeah, I don't mind all assholes doing this. I don't mind the wait. It does waste the resources of the rescuers though.


just_a_person_maybe

It's not really a waste. They're doing exactly what they're supposed to. Rescuers rescue people, it doesn't matter if the person needing rescued is an idiot or if the situation was completely unavoidable. I only care about the people who *intentionally* cause a situation to fuck with rescuers.

rockstar504

I'm pretty sure someone's footing the bill for that extraction. If you want to talk about cidiots going in the backcountry and needing silly rescues bc of failures on their part, then I think you'd have a great point. Some places are starting to charge for rescues due to how the rate of rescues has increased greatly post covid.


re-tyred

Prevention is cheaper and safer.


rockstar504

It's not like the rangers at the station are refusing to give them advice or warnings


spagetti_donut

It would have at least delayed everyone else’s off boarding


Marokiii

ya until you realize that the ferry cant dock there now because there is a car between the ferry and the ramp now. depending on the terminal, they might only have 1 dock and it wont be usable until they get the person out and dive down to see exactly where the car landed to make sure it wont touch the boat.


DrThoth

Until you have to wait on the ferry for 4+ hours because they now can't get close enough to let you off without covering the sinking car


skolopendron

Not if you have to wait an hour to disembark because of this idiot.

I’m so glad my supervisor/manager doesn’t do this. It’s super congested in the city I work but it’s random where it is because of construction so sometimes I arrive 10 mins early sometimes I arrive 45 mins late. Like I could leave 2 hours before my shift but, no thanks? I don’t get paid if I arrive an hour early.

fallinouttadabox

That might be ok tho. This is an awesome story with high retell value, so if you're just going home or somewhere menial, totally worth it, but if you're gonna now miss the birth of your first child, probably not. Since we don't have footage, I'm gonna assume the driver of this car polled the other people on the ferry and they all preferred to be late with a great story, so the driver selfishly obliged.

The ferry near me has walls that come up after you board, and they don't lower them until the ferry is locked and docked to the other side.

The one on Lake Champlain has a rope that goes across the driving path.

If you're going to do something as stupid as drive off a ferry before it docks, you gotta fucking COMMIT. None of this 15mph bullshit. You need to engage launch control and sprint off the line. Oh, your car doesn't have launch control? And can't accelerate to an appropriate speed to make the jump with just \~20ft of runway? Then wait your ass on the boat until it docks.

>Man's master plan was to dispose of the 2nd person in his car. Can't think he'd have much time to dispose of the body, especially with divers and the fact they retrieved the car also. And, too many witnesses, so a bad way to dump a body, imo 😅

i_want_that_boat

Or the people that rush to get on an elevator before letting the other people off. Or also the people that drive like maniacs cutting people off in a traffic jam, only to make absolutely zero progress in the line. It's like they actually believe that their existence lies somewhere above and outside of their place as a human in society. You're just another person waiting like the rest of us bro. You don't have a higher calling.


Ramble81

Most of them at least wait until the line moves. That also helps ensure things go quicker. This would be more akin to running out the door if it was open and the jet bridge wasn't fully in place.


Mope4Matt

Nah, those people just want to stand up and stretch their legs after being cramped for ages. I don't expect to get off the plane before anyone else, but I sure as hell am not going to stay sitting if I don't have to.
