When you rent a U-Haul and don't want to get charged a cleaning fee...

No words...

We lived in an apt for several years before we bought the house that we're in now. Two or Three years ago, the fire alarm went off one night. Almost the same thing had occurred. Tow numbnuts had tried to drive into the covered visitor's parking in a u-haul van in the middle of the night. The thing is we had one of those huge hanging pipes at the entrance to let you know "if you hit this pipe...." The killed a bunch of plumbing from fire sprinklers to a large (8 or 10") main and a bunch of drywall and exit signs (no raw sewage that I noticed). The drivers took off leaving the van where it was stuck, and I heard, even left their dog in the van in a kennel. I never did hear what happened if anything. But the fire alarms didn't get fixed right the first time, so we had 2 other occurrences of random fire alarms at night until the wiring was fixed correctly.

We have a Lowes here that we respond to on a regular basis for a sprinkler activation, because some numb nuts is always hitting a pipe or sprinkler head with a forklift.

Box trucks and rental trucks must have a minimum height of 11’-9” 😂

That must have been a re-incarnation of Albert Einstein driving the truck trying to prove his theorem on doing the same thing over & over & expecting a different result.

I was wondering the same thing. It's the supports for the level above in the ceiling. Watch as he drives in. They are on both sides, both slightly lower than 'mom's attic'. I'm assuming there's a low one out of camera view as he plows straight forward at the end as well. This gives me goosebumps as I was driving a uhaul all weekend myself!

Maybe there's some invisible curbs or bollards he can't see?
