A reverse image search shows this picture posted on several tweets in the last month. Safe to say, this guy made up a story and probably doesn't have a wife.

I feel like these kinds of liars are sad egotists. Not because they made up a story, but they made up a story that painted them a hero, and the other person being an absolute buffoon. Even more frequent is the "dumb wife" or "idiot girlfriend" trope.

These made up stories like this is all they have in their depressing little lives.

I believe the technical term is "deflecting blame" or "being a cowardly jackass." They're pretty interchangable.

ok maybe the wife part is false but someone still got into this predicament somehow?? these pics aren't AI generated...

Looks like they backed into it from the paint rubbed off on the bumper. Probably going too fast in reverse and rode up on the pole, getting on top of it. Once on top the weight of the car forced the pole through the floor of the car.

More likely - backed over it, pushed it over, pulling it out of the ground a bit, until they got far enough over it that the top was behind the bumper, then finally noticed something was wrong and tried to pull forward again, which started pulling the post upright again... All the more impressive because they would have been doing it slowly, and giving the car gas to overcome the extra resistance...

that seems to be the case yes but... that pole is really though so that's insane!

Are all the tweets about this same story?
