Stupid college kids!!!
I had the joy of watching two college kids load a pickup with supplies for the start of college at IU. Food water and other important stuff went into the bed of the truck.
The mattresses and box spring went on top to keep all the little stuff in the back of the truck. They wedged some boxes to hold the mattress and box spring down over the other gear.
I was two cars behind them and wished I had a camera to record what was soon to happen.
All went well till they went north on 37 from 2nd street. Right as they merged onto 37, the air got under the mattress and box spring and they flew into the air. They drove about 500 feet before stopping and backing up. The box spring was destroyed but the mattress looked ok.
No other cars were hurt and they might have learned a few things about securing a load.
I continued on home with a smile knowing the smart college kids are back in town........
