A video documenting an unconventional township relocation method went viral, leaving social media users in stitches over the chaotic attempt.

Cars were forced to slow down and drive behind the moving shack, highlighting the absurdity of the roadside relocation. TikTok user @cpt_stekzana's humour peaked when the heavy structure suddenly collapsed, causing the group to stop in their tracks.

The clip garnered 698K views, 80K likes, and 2.6K comments from social media users who joked about the situation. Many viewers called the moving shack an “Airbnb,” referencing the popularity of unique, temporary accommodations. Some found the whole scenario frustrating, questioning why the owners would choose to carry a fully built structure rather than demolishing and rebuilding it. The only disappointment viewers shared was that the video ended too soon, with many expressing a strong desire to see what happened after the shack collapsed.
