If you plow through a snowman with your car, you're an asshole. If you do it with your brand new sports car, you're a stupid asshole.

    Let me add one more: he's done this several times already which is the reason the kids added bricks in the first place.

    Reminds me of my grandfather, these kids kept knocking his mailbox down with baseball bats. After the second time it was hit, he put up a new one filled with concrete. The very next morning there was half a wooden baseball bat on the ground and a dent in the mailbox. They never did it again.

    Even if it was just a snowman, that would damage your pretty car.

    Unless the snowman was built in the road, the driver is at fault not the people that created the snowman.

    I think the fact he doesn't explicitly mention it is an admission that it wasn't built on the road.

    The "if I find out who did this" does bring that into question, though. If it was in front of a house it'd be very obvious who did it.

    But given the vibes the car owner is giving off, it's more likely it was in a park or field or the sidewalk next to a road, and he thought it'd be okay to hit it because there was almost no chance of the creator catching him.

    If the snowman was build on the road, the driver is at fault for driving carelessly, not paying attention.
    Nobody else was hurt. Nobody else's property was damaged. There is no one to be held liable.

    This guy drove into a snowman, regardless of where it was.
    A static object that only moves in Christmas music.

    If it was a snowbank, same deal.
    If it was a parked car, same deal.
    If it was a fallen telephone/power pole, same deal.
    If it was a pile of cinderblocks that fell off the back of a truck, same deal.

    The guy either wasn't paying attention, or was being an asshole.
    Either way, driving carelessly. Asshole is at fault

    Even in case of a "usual" snowman, you can easily crack plastic bodyparts or dent metal ones. This is not GTA, where you just have to remember which items are breakable and which are not

    A large pile of uncumpressed snow can fuck up a car. Compressed snow used to make a snow man? Yeah you're smashing into basically a wall of ice.

    I'm honestly wondering if he made up the cinder block to try and make this someone else's fault.

    Don't be an ass trying to wreck some kid's fun. Could just as well do the same if it melted and refroze a bit to turn it to ice. FAFO

    What would make you think driving through a snowman is a good idea to begin with? You'd have to be driving through a yard or at least jumping a curb. Take the guy's license away for reckless driving.

    So Mark Majeski purposefully crashed his car into a static object and blames someone else for the consequences of his own actions?

    My cousins used to live on a street with massive trees that dropped tons of leaves every autumn. The city would have special service days where everyone rakes the leaves into big piles in the street and street sweepers would come vacuum them up.

    Hooligans liked the drive through the big piles in the middle of the night. I honestly kinda see the appeal, who could resist. Anyway, they started to doing the same thing. Piles of cinder blocks under some of them. I was staying with them one night and we heard some horrible carnage, came out to find some sedan high centered on a pile of cinder blocks with the bumper hanging off.

    There was a news story some years back about a little girl who was killed when her father did this. She was playing in a pile of leaves and her dad was unaware of that. He drove through the pile of leaves and ... yeah, that was that. :(

    Trying to find the original news story, I'm finding multiple instances of this sort of thing happening. Which is even more heartbreaking.

    This is why you don't ever drive on anything but clear road.

    I'd be surprised if there were any legal consequences for something like this. It's not a "booby trap" in the traditional sense where it poses a danger to legitimate visitors or emergency responders entering a property. It is a solid structure inside another (seemingly less solid) structure. You should already not be trying to ram into it. It poses zero risk to anyone that doesn't already intent to maliciously destroy the apparently less solid structure.

    Assuming you can drive through any kind of obstacle already qualifies you as a moron. Even if it's just a cardboard box, you never know what's inside. Doing this and then acting all entitled qualifies you as a special kind of moron.

    There is a house near me that builds a snowman around their mailbox that is on a cemented in post. I would love to see someone freak out after smashing their car when they tried to destroy the snowman.

    If you see a snowman just sitting somewhere and it's not in the road then it's on you for being a dick and going off-road to smash it.

    What kind of psychopath purposefully runs over a snowman with their car to begin with?

    Did they build this snowman in a roadway? If so, he has a case but "could've" (should've) avoided the obstacle... If the snowman was not built in a roadway: gtfo

    Engagement bait.

    I went and checked Facebook for notifications the other day and saw this exact post.

    This is all over the place: Posts by people who are confidently wrong in some obvious way, just begging for some smart internet person to come set them straight and get their wimpy dopamine hit.

    It is really enlightening, in a depressing way, to scroll mainstream social media like that and see the level of enshittification that people are conditioned to accept and keep scrolling through. It is so much worse than even ad-driven legacy media like live TV.

    Reminds me of that dude that fashioned a concrete reinforced steel mailbox pole and got sued after paralysing a dude that hit it.

    Homeowner won though.

    ...but why did you hit a snowman in the first place? Funny how he doesn't mention that part.
