My mum and dad saw a young man who had bought a 50" plasma screen TV trying to fit it into his Ford Escort.

Was it still in the box? Because we had to take the 46" tv out of the box to get it to fit in the Lexus. Boy was that a tight fit.Ridiculous 2009 Predictions: Evil Queen will beat Martha Stewart to death with a muffin pan. All hail Evil Queen! (Some things don't need elaboration.....) -- Jester

I can't even tell you how many times I've checked people out with bigger furniture pieces, and then they exclaim to each other, "Oh no, we didn't bring the [suv, truck, minivan, whatever].
And then they look at me as if I'd help it appear.

For some reason, I'm thinking of that scene in The Simpsons where Homer tries to fit everything into the car Tetris style. XD
People really need to learn the laws of physics before they go shopping.

Yep! I'm a nerd.
He had to take it out of the box, but still struggled. I have no idea if he managed it in the end."I can tell her you're all tied up in the projection room." Sunset Boulevard.Comment

I used to drive a Smart Car and my greatest moment in it was driving to the local tip and asking for some help unloading it.
Cue much laughing turning to stunned silence as I opened the passenger door and hauled out a washing machine before turning to say "Anyone want to help get the three dustbins out of the boot please?"
Another good one was to go to Ikea and let people stand gawping as you loading all your flatpacks in. I truly am the king of CarTetris.
My only failing was when I collected at 8 foot xmas tree. The problem was solved by popping out of the glass roof panels and driving home with it stood on the passenger seat avoiding low bridges!Good customers are as rare as Latinum. Treasure them. ~ The 57th Ferengi Rule Of Acquisition.Comment

My dad's family was reportedly good at CarTetris too. Consider that at the time, the biggest car they could easily get hold of was a 1960s Rover - a good car, but hardly a Volvo brick. And my dad had at least three siblings to share that car with, while going on holiday with all the luggage that entails.
Yes, he inherited those skills, but we got a slightly bigger car (a Renault 12 estate) as well.Comment

I couldn't resist listing this one. What can I say, other than I took great delight in watching two idiots try to stuff a 55-gallon fish tank into a 2-door Chevy Cobalt
