didnt have the sense to even reverse. [video=youtube;MF35kYSV718]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MF35kYSV718[/video]
Just screaming her guts out, completely paralyzed with fear and stupidity. My wife reacts to almost any emergency type situation like that. A big jug of tea spilled all over the table around her, rolling towards the edge, and she just sat blinking and stunned. I quietly reached over and mopped it up with some napkins, and said to her "I sure hope that if I ever have a health emergency that one of the kids is here to help me..."
Wow. Just wow. Not only does she not stop when she hits the person, she just starts screaming and continues to drive and hit the van, crushing the pedestrian. Insert stereotype about Asian women drivers here. Sadly I don't think my girl is much better. A few weeks ago, I was driving and she was following me. Light turned red, I stopped, she plowed into the back of my car at a good 15, 20mph. Ripped her bumper off on a cart corral the day after I gave her the car, and today I had to park my car and hers real close together to make room at the garage. She goes to leave, I think "wait wait wait, this isn't gonna be good", I run over there, and sure enough, she's got the wheel turned slightly to the left and is an inch away from sideswiping me. I start pounding on her spoiler because for whatever reason she didn't hear me yelling "STOP STOP STOP STOP"... I told her to get out and I moved the car out of the way for her. Really, daily driving is NOT hard, all you have to do is PAY ATTENTION. Ugh. I don't know how all these broads and idiots have a driver's license but I don't. /rant
I don't rag on the women drivers too much. The hardest portion of any daily commute is to watch out for the idiots. And only half or less are women drivers. Most all are on the cellphone though and only half of those have insurance of any kind.
Because you don't hang out in the Gearhead Garage. Er... "The Workshop" or whatever it's called now. Dude has smashed up more than his fair share of cars, including driving over the Taco Bell sign. While I can't hate too much on funkgab because when I was 16-17 I drove like a total shithead, I only crashed one time (hence the avatar). I've been more or less chill since I've been 20, 21 or so when I caught my 131 in a 55. What can I say, turbo cars are fun.
.... my wife (not asian, BTW) has backed into a rather visible basketball hoop because the rear window was fogged up.... apparently, visibility is not a requirement for forward or backward movement. she still denies hitting it.
My buddy Brian's wife has backed out of his driveway at least twice and hit cars behind her. It's a pretty slanted driveway, and she apparently just gets in and hits the gas. He bought her a motorcycle too, if only Scott Peterson had been that clever. EDIT: But seriously, not to be the biggest sexist asshole in the world or anything, have any of you ever known a man to drive that badly? Even Funkgab isn't that bad, and he's Asian!
I've always wondered how people who panic have survived evolutionary. I blame the creation of society. Lol. Oriental? Is this the '30s?
My co-workers father was recently hit by a girl who was high on pot and prescription drugs. She was also arrested for a DUI the previous Wednesday. http://napavalleyregister.com/news/...cle_136b4d44-87e9-11e1-ad8d-001a4bcf887a.html
Well you can't encompass all of them as Asians because Koreans, Japanese, Chinese etc. hate being lumped into the group "Asian" Kinda like you can't say colored or black anymore. You might offend someone. YOU of all people should recognize this. Jesus. DO you just pick fights with me or are you really that dumb?
lol, Orientals Since when do people who are from Asia hate being called Asians? Not a single 'Oriental' I have ever met has ever disliked being called Asian, not one. And since they as a whole make up about 40% of the population here, I think that's a good base to judge from.
If you call a Chinese person Japanese or visa versa I could understand. However, like Dustin mentioned, I've never had any Asian friends be offended by being called Asian. Quite the opposite in fact. Also my black friends call themselves black.
you have black friends that call themselves african-american? especially any that have never been to africa? that last one bugs me, because i may as well call myself german-american then. i have clear german roots, yet have never been there.
Yeah, this still stupefies me. Pay attention, use common sense, try to think ahead a little, do unto others, etc. My pet peaves: People who get into the left lane and GO SLOW. Dennis Miller once ranted about this one, simplifying it for the driving-impaired: "Left lane FAST, right lane SLOW." People who pull out in front of you and GO SLOW. This takes two forms. The first is people who are ahead of you at an intersection who are all batshit crazy to pull onto the road you're on as fast as they can-- then they go 10 mph under the friggin speed limit! The second is on the highway, where people who are going 5mph slower than you will pull into your lane ahead of you to pass the vehicle that's in turn going 2mph slower than that. All they woulda had to do is wait two seconds for you to pass then pull in behind you, but instead they get ahead of you and take five miles to make their pass-- probably because they can't be arsed to accelerate beyond their cruise control. People who are in front of you who slow waaaaay the fuck down, almost coming to a complete stop, who ONLY THEN flip on the turn signal.
^ In addition to that, one I can't stand in the least is when you're coming down a main road, and a person is waiting to turn from a side road to the main road. They inch forward, then stop because they don't think they will make it, wait another second or two, then decide that they WILL make it and hit the gas, pulling out in front of you when you're much closer than you would have been if they had went the first time around. Then they proceed to pull out slowly like nobody is about to crash into them. And mullet, Smersh doesn't have black friends. He was just speaking in the sense of "if I had black friends, they would just call themselves black". Everybody knows there are no black people in Colorado.
