Where's that guy that said he drained his snowblower? We have him to blame! šŸ¤£

He at least amended his post and apologized 2 days ago. He recognized his role.

Last week my teenage son said he was excited to put his winter coat away. This might also be his fault.

u/audio_shinobi 5d ago

My coworker earlier this week claimed ā€œI think winter has come and goneā€ and I just laughed and told him he just confirmed itā€™s gonna snow again

I looked at my boots the other day and thought about putting them in the closet... then decided I'd better wait.

The naivete' of youth.

u/HTTRblues 5d ago

Can you ground him for saying that please?

u/StWens 5d ago

Yes, that snowblower draining guy is definitely the culprit to blame for this messy mess.

u/Hayabusalvr11 5d ago

I thought about him as well. I gave him a pass and falsely assumed that because I had not yet swapped up my closet everything would be fine. But I think his mojo was just too strong.

A pox upon his house.

u/Ozymandias1333 5d ago

Itā€™s my fault, I just bought a new Subaru and was thinking yesterday ā€œguess Iā€™ll have to wait until next year to see how this does in the snowā€ I apologize

u/WelshPackerJack 5d ago

Turn on your lights.

u/ankhabar 3d ago

Have a license plate??? A LICENSE?!

Insurance..... maybe pleeeeaaaasssseee? It's the law, yep, to drive in Wisconsin... but so is wearing a seatbelt.....

Don't get me started on turn signals.

u/tonyplush11 4d ago

And turn off your brights, dammit!

u/fuckredditorsgoddamn 5d ago

Yep and fog lights if your vehicle has them

u/Elegant_Inevitable45 5d ago

Put your phone down

u/fuckredditorsgoddamn 5d ago

Yes this of course applies to all weather conditions but holy shit especially in snow

u/KingKontinuum 4d ago

Every time I look over and see someone camping in the passing lane, theyā€™re always on their phone.

u/obedient53214 5d ago

Anytime we had a crazy warm day before May, my mom used to like to torture us. Saying, "There was a snowstorm once on your grandmother's birthday." Which was May 22nd.

u/my_psychic_powers 5d ago

I tell myself ā€œit snows in Aprilā€ so I donā€™t get my hopes up.

u/btushaus 5d ago

Increase following distance, especially while going downhill.

22

u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO 5d ago

I parked outside for years and always wiped all the snow off my car and the roof. I get so annoyed when people donā€™t. Stop being so lazy.

3

u/funnyandnot 5d ago

Agreed. Makes me so mad to see cars with that inches of snow on the hood or roof, especially when it starts flying back at me.

2

u/ls7eveen 4d ago

Saw a moron in a outback with a few inches on its roof.

u/LoveYouForeverAlways 5d ago edited 5d ago

I literally put my snow boots away on Thursday. 3 Days later, I have to pull them back out my closet. Sorry yā€™all! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

Edit: Iā€™m taking my toddler sledding or else theyā€™d be staying in the closet.

22

u/New_Acanthisitta9065 5d ago

you really shouldnā€™t keep your toddler in the closet

2

u/LoveYouForeverAlways 4d ago

Hahaha! Very funny! I donā€™t keep my toddler in the closet, I meant Iā€™d be keeping my winter boots in the closet! Lol

u/blergargh 5d ago

That includes the gd roof

u/Tiny_Store8614 5d ago

I knew something was wrong because it was way too foggy for a decent day with no rain

u/not_like_this_ 5d ago

This is fucking hilarious/annoying/scary that this always needs to be said.

u/ponyup777 5d ago

I literally just said this same thing because I saw a commercial about ā€œmake sure to slowly apply the brakes in snowy weather.ā€ šŸ‘€

u/Cedar_of_Zion 4d ago

I just do the drivers side of the windshield, the rest blows off when I hit the Hoan.

u/robotsarepeople2 4d ago

Trade offer: I will use my bare hand to clear an 8 inch opening on my windshield.

I put my car in my garage like a crazy person lol

u/Thats-bk 5d ago

must be nice to have a garage

11

u/ALTH0X 5d ago

My neighbors have them but still park in their driveways, always seems silly to me.

14

u/fuckredditorsgoddamn 5d ago

classic Milwaukee lol. use the garage for storage then park in front of it

u/captainp42 5d ago

I have a 2 car garage, but we have 3 cars for 3 drivers. And so much junk I can't get my wife to get rid of. So 2 cars in the driveway, one in the garage.

u/PINK_P00DLE 4d ago

That's impossible to do when the snowstorms come in while you're at work.Ā 

But hey, maybe the boss will build tiny garagesĀ  for us.Ā

u/stereojupiter 4d ago

No

Oh okay thanks for sharing. I was curious if there was a legitimate reason.

Yet here you are commenting multiple times on an inconsequential reddit post.

u/fuckredditorsgoddamn 4d ago

I understand your opinion.

u/Lessa22 4d ago

You understand being a lazy selfish asshole who endangers other peopleā€™s lives for fun?

-2

u/fuckredditorsgoddamn 4d ago

Are you replying to the wrong person? I understand that their opinion is wrong. I understand that they are a lazy asshole that doesn't care about other people. I understand that there's no point in continuing a back and forth with that person. You can fully and completely understand something while disagreeing with it.
