Last night I was riding from Dayton to Columbus with some friends, watching the season premiere of The Office on my girlfriend's Zen in the back seat. If you haven't seen this episode, I'm going to spoil it for you. Michael Scott hilariously hits one of his underlings with his car in the first 30 seconds.
Well, we're about 10 minutes into the episode when the guy driving yells "SHIT" and swerves the car into the slow lane. I look up in time to see a dude just standing in the middle of the fast lane on the interstate, holding a brewsky.
He wasn't walking or running, just standing sideways staring dumbly at the traffic. Behind us cars are swerving all over the place.
Thanks for ruining the season premiere of The Office, drunk or possibly high guy. Thanks a bunch.
So I almost saw a guy die very messily last night. What kinds of close calls have you guys had, vehicular or otherwise?
I almost got nailed while making a right turn because of some bitch in a camry decided that she had the right of way even though she was making a left hand turn.
I was driving down I-95 a few years back, and traffic slowed to a crawl at one point. Great, a car accident. After what seemed like forever, I pass the point where the lanes are shut down and take a look at whats causing the hold up. Lo and behold, its the bloody body of some dumbass dude who decided to try to cross a 4 lane highway. Kinda gross, and man, at least he won't be passing his stupid genes onto his kids.
Also, umm, I wrecked my first car, an '86 Camaro, when the brakes failed and I hit a minivan full of kids. Thank goodness no one was hurt.
It would have been much awesomer if the car directly behind you didnt swerve.
As for myself; I was driving around the countryside with a bunch of friends one night, I'd just drove through a muddy field and was heading over the crest of a hill at about 140kph when all of a sudden there was a 90 degree right turn. I hadn't seen any signs for it, so I brake, heavily, and try and dig my right tires into the ditch to fling myself around the corner, but that wasnt happening. I jumped the left side ditch, landed in a soya bean field and managed to force my front left tire off the rim.
it was like 10pm and we were stranded. Why? because after pushing my car out of the field and everyone exiting the car, I didnt put it in park and locked my keys inside. So, we're in the middle of nowhere with my running car, unable to move, locked out.
We got lucky and there was a mechanics shop down the road about 10 minutes. The guy who owned it was working late and happened to drive by. Stopped and had a laugh at our misfortune. Then jimmy'd the door and helped take off the screwed up rim. He and my friend went back to his shop fixed it, then returned.
I ended up paying $660 to have my car hoisted of fthe ground and put in a machine to warp the front end back into its proper position.
TL;DR: I drove way too fast and ramped a ditch busting my car. Locked myself out. Then dealt with a sketchy mechanic to get it fixed again.

I love this typo. The image of you punching your car out of the field is too awesome.

The one about the fucking space hairdresser and the cowboy. He's got a tinfoil pal and a pedal bin
I was driving at about 3am on 270 towards Frederick MD. when the guy in front of me swerved into a guard rail. The car then bounced off said rail and hit on of those big concrete retaining walls and came to rest on the shoulder. I pulled up in front of them to help. The car was leaking every fluid it had. The guy driving had apparently fallen asleep (I know because he told me) and was fine. His wife however in the passenger seat was bleeding from her nose and a huge gash on her forehead. I asked what I could do for her and he started yelling at me that she was 'fine'. I said sir I can't even see her face theres so much blood. 'she's fine' he responded.
I thought to myself this guy is crazy and went for an ambulance.
The 911 operator gave me shit because I didn't know what mile post the accident was near. I told her near the truck scales on 270 north to Frederick (she insisted that there were multiple scales on 270 (there is only one) and I should be more specific). Then she kept asking for my name which I gave her. Then she asked again and I told her. I think she probably asked me 4 or 5 times who I was. Eventualy I just hung up .... I really hope those people were ok.
Basically I was on a little road that has parking on each side of the two lanes. The car in front of me was backing into a spot and there was a car in front of me (facing the other way) also waiting for the other car to back into their spot.
Well, the car backing into the parking spot finally gets clear of my lane of the road so I start driving again and at that time there was another car coming in the opposite direction of me, pulling up behind the car that was still stopped and waiting on the car backing into the spot.
For some reason, this new car thought it'd be okay to try to go around the car in front of him... in my lane... while I was still coming forward.
He's still coming, so I honk; I don't lay on the horn, but I honk because he was about to hit me. He swerves back into his lane and I drive by him and he has the craziest look on his face as I give him an angry staredown as I drive by.
As I passed him the angry guy stops, gets out of his car and starts running at my car as I'm driving off and he's shouting obscenities and other words.
I kept driving, picked up my girlfriend, then left the way I came and saw him again and mouthed a few select words at him.
I got on the highway and drove pretty fast hoping the guy wasn't going to follow me so he could murder me.

I was young and stupid.

god wants Stale to suffer every pain known in the universe.
I'm being punished for something.
Haven't figured out what yet.
send this to 5 people or you'll get raped by ghostcock
Like, instantly...
That must have been one tough truck though man. Were you wearing your seatbelt or did you fly around the cab like a ragdoll?
AIM: Yarrfooey
If I recall Stale only lived because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt.
That was fun
did you die
it doesnt make your immune system suck
it just makes everything bad happen to you
Damn, that's an accomplishment.
