I am referring to the posts that said laughing at someones car in the ditch was wrong. My point is simply that nobody is laughing at the car owners misfortune but something different. It does change the situation knowing the owner now. Just like the picture I posted can be considered funny because we do not know any of the owners of those cars. If an owner of one of those cars came on and was real sensitive then I guess we'd be considered dicks for thinking the meme was funny.

What is the difference?

The difference is companies usually dont MEME their patrons.

If you don't get the picture, I can always MEME it for you.

When i first saw the pic i was like and said to myself im glad i live in florida. when i saw the comment "ill take the headlights" and "look at me no nannies" i busted out laughing once i saw the owner chime in i still thought the pic was funny because now i know that he is ok. do i feel bad for him? yes but this is why we purchase insurance. instead of making all of us look like inconsiderate dbags all he had to do is say "hay thats my car, i would appreciate it if the comments would stop" we/i had no idea it was a members car so wtf!? i was never at anytime laughing at the driver, just the car and wondering how the hell did it wind up there. before fingers get pointed at me, if indeed that was my car i would be bummed out BUT i would look at the bright side 1. im ok with no injuries and 2. think about using that money for a 6th gen or another 5th gen. its not like he purposely crashed the car and got caught like the guy with the bugatti. point im trying to make is we all laughed at crap, just take a look at the funny pix thread, there are some things on that thread where a person/people have clearly got hurt and i know we have laughed at it. sh*t happens so keep it moving.

Oh. Well I did not know that Pfadt knew it was a customers car.

Once again I'm making a point to those who said it was shitty of anyone to laugh at a car in a ditch. There was no foul whatsoever for anyone to laugh at the meme.

I believe it was obvious to EVERYONE here that the photo was NOT showing an attempt to parallel park but rather, an unfortunate winter weather mishap. It happens a lot and (when no injuries occur) actually ends up being a situation to look back on and laugh.

This car happens to belong to a friend of mine. Luckily he and his wife or anyone else involved was not seriously hurt in the accident. Yes, the car is covered by insurance and will be repaired but it is a heartbreaking experience to endure.

You are a vendor. A professional business. SHAME ON YOU! How would you like it if someone where to start posting pictures of your business with disrespectful quotes? I am sure you would be none to happy. This definately does not encourage me to do business with your company or to refer my friends to a company with such disrespect. Next time I suggest you might consider what you are posting before you post especially if you are going to advertise your business and associate it with such a tasteless post.
People do post pictures and bash his company, far worse than this picture. The tasteless post here is yours. Condemning shame is downright insecure. Stop being an internet troll and go home.

I look back on all the stupid stuff I have done and laugh. Whether intentional or not it was actually pretty funny.

Thank you PQ for actually having a brain. Seems like everyone butt-hurt over this had their Wheaties sh*t in the past couple of mornings.

I once backed a car into a ditch while my buddies where pushing it because it had died...

They all laughed and poked fun, and still do to this day.

I didn't take is personal, must folks tend to rip on their friends a bit (I even rip on myself sometimes over it)...

Some folks are sensitive though, I guess..

Pfadt will probably end up giving the guy some free goods because everyone made a big deal about it and all will be right in the world.
