Wentzville Home Depot: 7 Cars Bounce Over Rogue Speed Curbs, TikTok Erupts

Home Depot Wentzville’s speed curbs sent unsuspecting shoppers’ cars bouncing skyward, with at least 7 vehicles caught on viral TikTok video before the store manager—unwilling to wait for Tuesday fixes—took matters into his own hands. Trending queries like “why did Home Depot install curbs instead of speed bumps” and “can speed curbs damage your car” spiked. Mayor Nick Guccione confirmed, “I had not heard of any cars being damaged,” as the wrong vendor fix left the parking lot with more bounce than safety.
Unlike your average speed bump mishap, this saga saw the Wentzville Home Depot manager personally uprooting mis-installed curbs after the vendor’s Monday blunder, leaving the lot littered with parking curbs and confusion. Searches for “are speed curbs legal in parking lots” and “what’s the difference between speed bumps and speed curbs” surged alongside footage of cars bouncing like low-riders in a municipal rodeo. As the mayor dryly noted: the real speed bumps would arrive Tuesday—perhaps after the last airborne minivan touched down.
Before the correct bumps could be installed, at least 7 cars were filmed bouncing over the unintended speed curbs—transforming a parking lot into a brief, viral obstacle course worthy of a Wentzville Grand Prix.
