  • Sorry about the lawn. It's retarded driver on their phone fault.

    So coming home from work, a few hundred feet from the turn off the main road to my side street. Said street is around a blind corner off the main road which has a 45 MPH speed limit. Also, the street is dug in a dip so you can not see up the street until you are making the turn.

    I am going north on the main road making the turn to my right on to side street. Before this some moron and turned on to side street from the south to turn around. Instead of going up the dead-end side street to a drive way they decide to try to make the turn at the very end of the street, just out of my view, blocking the end of the street.

    Due to the moron blocking the street I am now half stopped on the main road. I lay on the horn and this moron just looks at me concentrating on their phone call. No attempt to back up. I am getting nervous at sitting in the road for so long. The horn is not making them move. I look in my rear view and see a 18-wheeler come flying around the corner. I cut a hard right and gun it. The back passenger wheel dings into neighbors lawn and chunks of mud and grass go flying. Horns and screeching tires from the semi are heard as he swerves and thankfully misses me.

    I give this moron a few polite word on his driving ability. He backs up and drives off still on his phone. I see that the neighbor was doing yard work and saw part of this. I apologize about the rut in the lawn. He says it's no big deal.

    The only bright side, if the truck he me idiots car would prove a nice cushion between me and the embankment.

      Actually, the semi broke the law.

      Always, ALWAYS, be able to stop in visible distance. Can't see around that corner? Then freaking CRAWL around it.

      Sorry you nearly got hit, glad you didn't, but if you had, you'd be going after the wrong driver.

        Yup.

        This is why when on the rare cases we get epic fog around here, the kind where you literally cannot see 20 feet away from you, I drive very slowly.

        Yes, I'm on the freeway. I'm going 30mph (and thats pushing it!). But the fog is so dense that even at 30mph I still cannot see my stopping distance.


        Its people who literally blindly drive 80mph that cause those gigantic 100+ car pileups.

          If someone had caused me to almost get hit by a semi because they're on their damn phone I'd get out punch through their window, take their phone and throw it as far as I could.

          Luckily no one's done that to me yet.
          If I dropped everybody who occasionally said something stupid from my list of potential partners, I wouldn’t even be able to masturbate

            I had something similar once, some dumb woman literally stopped in the middle of the intersection and was digging under her passenger seat. Luckily I had another lane to swerve into with no traffic.

            Edit: Oh and there was one time when some moron lay on his horn behind me, while I was waiting to enter traffic, and there was a semi just about to pass me. Heh, if he wanted to rush out in front of the semi, then, hey! go ahead...

            Yes, that’s right. It’s a pair of gold foil headphones. Gold foil. Finally, headphones just as awful as your taste in music.
