Today, I was driving my child to school when the car let out a huge bang. It shuddered to a halt. My son started laughing. I asked him what was funny but he wouldn't tell me. The car wouldn't start. I called RACV and they told me the problem. My son had rolled 9 golf balls into the exhaust pipe. FML
I agree, your life sucks (19233) - you totally deserved it (1751)

So what? That's funny. Kids can do a lot worse than that. Just something to make your day more interesting, imo. :D

I just hope that no one tells that deviant, little, vandal bastard that a banana or potato wedged tightly up a tailpipe builds and even higher back pressure and makes a bigger boom.
Oops.
Well I heard banana and tailpipe in the same sentence... and we're talking about a kid. I was just mentally preparing myself for some horrific comment >_
no, perdix, a potato wouldn't go boom. the car wouldn't start if it were off, and it would stall if it was running. they actually check for holes in your exaust system by putting a thick rag over the tailpipe. if the car stalls, you're all good. if it doesn't, you've got a hole. which is why I'm calling fake.
I'm not sure why so many people have clicked 'You deserved it', you can't watch a child 24/7, its just not realistic and i'm guessing this child isn't THAT young.

the person deserves it for doing [insert drug of choice here] while pregnant and now their kid is too stupid to understand that there is more to life than shuvin stuff up exhaust pipes

To avoid these situations, beat your kids regularly. OP obviously didn't, and look where it got him. Don't be lazy, beat your kids!
Nine balls is an impressive number to stuff in your pipe w/o your knowledge. That kid is going places.
Remove Every piece of furniture and toy from his room except his bed as punishment. Sell all of it on craig's list (yes even his xbox360, cancel his xbox live subscription, wow monthly fee, cell phone) to help pay for your vehicle. Buy him payless shoes abd walmart clothing and no name brand.....if he runs away (win for you).
I would totally do this. Then again, I hate children.

id so do that too... and id have the heater on and say if hes a bad child he will get closer and closer to hell and whenever he does sumthin like this turn it wayy up and scare the bageezees out of him and when hes 16 tell him god n heaven and hell and all that doesnt actually exist and that ur actually an athiest and lol ur ass off!

I would totally slap my son if he did that. Teach them to be more respectful about other peoples things and that not everything is to be laughed at. I would then slap him again. Kids get away with too much shit.
I also agree with Skyeyez9.
wow I say this is fake.... because the force of starting the engine would have blown them all out at the get go!! Mythbusters knowledge FTW!!! same with the banana and potato thing!! it has been proved FALSE
Yes but we need to realize that mythbusters is not the one true source of what is fact and fiction that show is full of mistakes. But, still i say fake because having a mechanic as a brother I have learned that all a clogged tailpipe does is stall the car.

YDI for having kids...but no im kidding children r a joy

Did your son's rolling nine balls into the exhaust pipe exhaust you? Get some balls and punish him until you've exhausted all your options! Take away his playground balls and discipline him until you're exhausted yourself.

Beatings are fun but don't really solve anything. Shove nine balls up his ass and see if he finds THAT funny.
i agree with #31 and #24, both brilliant idea's to handle your children, take notes on this site, parents.

I'm sorry, but that's a little hilarious. I probably would have done the same as that kid when I was little. Let creative minds grow! haha! (and remember- you're the adult!)

Too bad it's fake... anyone with common sense or anyone who's ever seen the mythbusters where they cover this exact topic, would know it, too.

Fake. Exhaust pressures would force out most any foreign object, especially something small like golf balls that can easily be rolled in or out. Also, since they are smaller than the diameter of the exhaust, they wouldn't block enough gases to affect the engine. Finally, IF they did block enough to affect the engine, it wouldn't be a sudden bang, the engine would just stall from being unable to have full combustion.

Kids - when you've got 'em, you've got to deal with 'em. I wonder how funny your son thought it was when you grounded him for the rest of the year... and when you told him not only that Santa wasn't real, but that he won't be getting any presents (other than maybe a lump of coal) this year; hell, he already "spent" his present on the prank repairs.

Wow. Your life is fucked because your child is a demonic asshole. I'd sell him to pedos in Thailand and buy a new hot car
#46 - On 11/01/2009 at 4:38pm by noshitsherlock
Seriously though, what is with all the little demon children on here? There's the hairspray+fire place little shit, another one recently.. My siblings and I NEVER pulled stupid shit when we were little. I guess we're just genetically superior :-D

It is about time u told him where u are actually from... a tribe called smackahoe!!!
#53 - On 11/01/2009 at 6:57pm by hypnotismo
your open palm+his bare ass=vindication. and tell him you shot santa claus, the easter bunny, and the tooth fairy.

I love how the moronic 13 year olds are giving disciplinary child rearing advice. they are probably sitting at home, grounded, with nothing better to do. if only your parents had beat you the way you so suggest the world would be a better place.
number 40.. the thing about exhaust pressure is, that, if he rolled golf balls in as he says, it means they are not a tight fit. meaning there is not a great deal of pressure behind them
#63 - On 11/02/2009 at 4:59am by catriona_cd
the bang isn't in the engine, the bang is the balls letting go and flying out.
you cram a potato into the tail pipe of a car, they start it, start driving, and as the backpressure builds up, they need more gas to keep running, they build up enough pressure, the potato get's ejected, and all that pressure lets off at once as a loud bang.
are u sure it was a child? cuz i dont think that a 9 year old would do that and know it wouldnt start

Kick his little ass. Do it. Children's Aid probably won't catch you anyways, and your kids an evil gremlin.
#69 - On 11/03/2009 at 7:53pm by Youd_laugh_2
someone teach that kid that with a potato, or a banana wedged tightly in there, makes a bigger BANG.
