    I love videos where it is just a dude dancing his heart out in ridiculous fashion


    i know this is a week later, but i knew that guy/dancing looked familiar.


    especially if i don't like a song (or i've heard it way too much), i will do the most unexpected or goofy dance moves to make myself laugh. like, some dubstep song came on, and i started doing the Twist. i've also done bits of Thriller. i... rarely like dubstep...

    This is the guy that got kicked out of PAX for being a dingus.
    What'd he do?

    I really lik his J.Cole audition video

    danced in his underwear on a table during a panel or something

    My favorite part about that is that he'd checked with Khoo beforehand about coming to the show, and they basically drew up a contract wherein he was allowed to film there and do whatever weird shit he was gonna do provided his clothes stayed on. Like, that was specifically written into the agreement.

    Well I don't really agree, being nervous about driving is a good motivator to drive cautiously and make a conscious effort to be sure you're doing everything right (signal before a lane shift, check your blind spot, head lights on, safe distance from the car in front of you, etc.)

    I'd certainly much prefer new drivers practice cautious/defensive driving while they learn what to pay attention to than be filled with confidence and do stupid shit before they know how to pay proper attention to the cars around them

    Yeah

    it seems kind of weird to consider a nervous, concerned driver more problematic than an overconfident one

    but nervous is being construed as "jittery and frightened" by some and "concerned and vigilant" by others, so that's kind of the disconnect here

    Not as weird as assuming an experienced driver is going to be doing stupid, reckless shit.

    There's no accounting for fucktarded fucktards.

    Defensive is simply being aware of what is going on around you and not doing shit like cutting people off, slamming on your breaks because you were tailing someone, etc...

    I assume every other driver is a fucking moron and will kill me at any moment. It causes my driving style to be cautious but aggressive. I'd rather get around and get away from the morons than drop back and stay behind them.

    Had a statey coming up behind me today, so I pulled over to the left shoulder (on-ramp type situation and left shoulder is where the break down is) along with everyone else, when some shitheel decided he was gonna take advantage of the 0 traffic and try and shoot the gap. I'm moving back into the lane and he has to slam on the brakes, then honks at me like I did something wrong. The cop is still visible so it's not like he didn't know why everyone was pulled over. I just stuck my middle finger back into my rear view as long as he was behind me. Same asshole then was one of the "drive past the onramp of traffic and try to squeeze in at the very end" types.

    Since we're sharing awful things we've seen as well:

    I was the gate agent for one of our flights and a woman was travelling with her infant (less than a year from what I remember) and the infant was going to be in the car seat until just before she got on board the flight and would then keep the child on her lap during the flight. I was standing off to the side so I saw this out of my peripheral vision, but she set the car seat down to hand over her boarding pass, and while she did the kid shifted in such a way that when the car seat was picked up the baby got dumped out and did a flip before landing on the ground. Thankfully this was onto carpet and from only about a foot off the ground, but the kid rightfully started letting out this inhuman scream. I felt really bad for the kid, but I felt even worse for the woman who had about 150 people staring at her thinking she was the worst mother in the world.

    The last time I drove my brother someplace, a driver cuts in front of me from the lane to my left after signaling for about a tenth of a second. I saw the signal, slowed down accordingly and changed to the next lane a couple seconds after they finished merging, since I was going to be getting off at the next offramp anyway. My brother's response? Jerk the wheel while I am merging and start honking the horn. I came within a hair of dumping his ass right in the middle of the 580 in Berkeley at 5 in the afternoon.

    1. stay with your wife while she dog sits. this wins husband points since she knows its out of your comfort zone
    2. have sex all over her friends house so that the next time you see her friend look at you condescendingly, you can wink back knowing you did the freaky deaky where she eats her cheerios.

    my nerves evaporated pretty quick after drivin' all around town giving some friends rides, now i feel p confident driving! wary as shit, but confident. people tend to drive like morons here but they're mostly considerate and genteel, so it's not super harrowing most of the time

    and driving down the main road that runs through the city with the windows down, smokin' a cigarette and listening to the doors was a really nice feeling

    all these sensations w/r/t independence are rad

    I enjoy driving around aimlessly, listening to music, a pretty fun waste of time if I'm bored.

    But I never drive with friends, my worst mistake as a driver happened when I was driving my friends around.

    driving aimlessly? do you have a gasoline tree in the backyard or something?

  • StraightziStraightzi Registered User regular
    I love driving aimlessly but rarely can afford it.

    Also I don't like driving alone nearly as much as driving with other people. If I'm sitting still there's a chance I'll just fall asleep. Conversation keeps me awake.

    It is probably my imagination but before we swapped out our plates from Massachusetts to Georgia it seemed like everyone got the fuck out of our way whenever we merged. Now the Atlanta drivers just casually match speeds with you whenever you have the signal on.

    It's a good thing the VW Golf has good acceleration.

    I had a "friend" place a sweatshirt over my head while driving (he was sitting in the backseat).

    Many profanities later, left his ass on the side of the road (we were in the suburbs).

    Also, @Fandyien, drive across the bridge over Belle Isle around sunset on a Sunday, when traffic is light. Great view. Then, you know, turn right back the fuck around.
