What could go wrong assembling an enormous toy car in the office?

Poke Staff. Updated December 8th, 2021

As any parent knows, it’s important to start assembling those Christmas gifts in good time, and to make sure that the recipient can’t barge in and ruin the surprise.

Someone named u/OrientalPenguin has shared this clip of someone doing just that, by assembling this very special gift at the office.

Never mind ‘Measure twice, cut once.’ – this is a case of ‘Measure once, don’t assemble the giant car in your office.’

Reddit users found the guy’s tribulations very entertaining.

Hardly surprising, the guy is filming putting together a kids toy like it’s a massive achievement, no chance he was smart enough to make sure it would fit out the door 🤣

I have done this with a baby crib. Spent 2 hours building it in the living room, go to slide it into the baby’s room… doesn’t fit through the door, not even close lol.

People had ideas to solve the problem.

Perhaps taking the door off the hinges might give him enough room.

Toss it out the window.

It’s plastic, just push harder.

I don’t get the problem, just cut a hole in the door frame.

Why is he even filming? You’re putting together a plastic car. Just take it partway apart and the reassemble outside the office.
