How many times have you gone to a candle store in your life? Do you even know what that is, apart from the tell-tale fact it has the word "candle" in its name?
Have you ever had an urge to go out and buy candles together with your friend? Did you ever find yourself in a candle-emergency situation when you just had to go get candles, even if that meant embarking on an adventure that would have made Frodo envious?
Answering "no" to all these questions means you are not one of the two, presumably elderly women from Alabama whose voices - and mishap - are featured in this video below. They were looking for a place called Candle Supplies when they got marginally lost (commenters say the shop was actually pretty close inside that industrial complex), wandered up the wrong alley and...
No point in prolonging the suspense anymore as we've already told you in the title what to expect. The two were probably looking for directions toward the store when they failed to notice they were heading straight toward the deep end of an open loading dock.
The poor car had no chance as the driver made sure it went through with both sets of wheels before stopping. The water couldn't do anything to soften the blow, but it did make the whole crash a lot more spectacular.
The two women are clearly oblivious to what had happened, as they keep asking one another "what was that?" Frankly, if that had happened to me, I would be cursing like a sailor and freaking out a little, climbing out of the car to look at the damage.
Not these two, though. They stayed in, listening to that horrific rattle (apparently it was the severed driveshaft hitting against the underside of the vehicle), discussing the situation. "That just looked like a road, didn't it?" the driver asks, even though the confirmation wouldn't be able to change the fact that it wasn't.
Through all this hardship, they don't forget why there were there, so when somebody shows up - probably alerted by the loud sound of the crash - the first thing they do is ask them if they know where the Candle Supply is. Oh, bless them. You don't let anything come between you and your candles, definitely not an unmarked loading dock.
