Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers pulled over two men this weekend who were riding down South Tryon Street in a couch balanced across two electric scooters.
A CMPD spokesperson said the incident took place on Friday, Sept. 25. It's unclear if the couch-surfers received a citation.
In a social media post, police urged residents to think about road safety before taking their living room furniture for a spin. CMPD added that mobile furniture displays are best left to IKEA.
