Got a good laugh ...

.... this morning that made being stuck in a PA turnpike traffic jam slightly more bearable this morning.
One of those jams where you roll up about three or four car lengths every 30 seconds or so over and over again.
Thus 20 something bish in front of me is texting like crazy - sometimes veering off towards the cement construction barriers - consistently leaving twice the space between her and the car in front of her than needed while she pounds away in her phone.
When I see that she is looking in the rear view mirror I lip the words "just put your damn phone down and drive" ... she pays no mind.
I start thinking it would be nice if she scraped the side of her car on the barrier as a wake-up call to get her to stop.
About 10 minutes later after more of the same pattern I hear two cars collide and see that she has successfully rear-ended the car in front of her.
Luckily there was room for the 2 cars to pull over. I slowed down and told the guy who was rear-ended "she was texting for the last 20 minutes - don't let her tell you otherwise "

Sometimes karma happens quickly. I would have been cheering if I got to see that.

Snitch.

 

[SnottieDrippen]

Probably texting her sugar daddy to keep him satisfied. Now she has to get another to cover the damages. It's an endless cycle

I love drivers. Took less than 3 months for someone to smash into my brand new car right in front of my house. Paying that $500 deductible for the hit and run sure was super sweet, lemme tell ya.

Street-parking in front of your residence.....very CoP.

That is the price you pay for living in the CoP.

I'm glad you brought this up, because this bothers the hell out of me. Happens a lot on my street and I kind of want to go buy a beater car just to crash into all these people who leave their property on a public street. There's two houses directly across from one another that both do it regularly with giant SUV's, sometimes parked 2-3 feet off the curb, making it so that it's a challenge to fit one car through, let alone 2. Even the people who don't do it tend to leave their cars in their driveways rather than their garages. This seems to be a quasi-modern development. Have people just amassed so much crap that there's no way to fit their cars in their garages anymore? Gdog, why do you leave your car on the street?

 

[RimJobbLarry]

So now it's low class to not use your garage?

 

[gldendog]

The car was actually in the driveway. Someone hit it while pulling in, to turn around I'm sure.

If I had a ****ing garage that could fit a car in it that's where it would be.

I installed a camera in the front of the house. ****ing assholes.

Wants to buy a beater car but not a treadmill for postpartum wife? Things are in disarray in N Jersey. Blame it on the tax policy.

This is not a new development.

Got to keep your plastic bag collection somewhere, right?

Why can't you fit your car in the garage? Too many giant barrels of Kirkland brand mayonnaise?

 

[RimJobbLarry]

Shits getting real in this thread.

 

[cbb2003]

Have no fear, self-driving cars are on the way!

 

[RSTRICK30]

G-dog,

What's your stance on placing empty trash cans in the street as place holders for "your" parking spot?

 

[Mr. Wade Garrett]

G-dog, why can't you just park on your front lawn? Above ground pool take up too much space?

 

[Fat Wanker]

I have never even considered parking in my garage. You people must be elderly.

 

[NickleDimer]

Gdog has a dog fighting ring in his garage.

 

[YourBuddyRayhad]

I fail to see what's wrong w an above ground pool. If I had one, I'd jump in it tonight

Gays. Forever gentrifying the uncouth.

Replace "above ground pool" with 13 year old boy.

I was always fascinated by those middle divider areas in the COP where people park their cars. Like it's part of the street but not really...part of your driveway but not really.

I think it's where Vince Papile and his jobless loser friends played their little mud football games.

I'm sure your car looks great considering all the care you give it.

Ew. Just think of all of the pollen on your car.

Shoop with 2 good posts in a row. Has that ever happened before?

2008. He had some back to back zingers about Sarah Palin.

what other kind is there?

Shoop: Sopranos/Wire
Merc: Simpsons
Arak: South Park

Cars are disposable. Unless it's a collectable car, who cares? You are going to trade it in in a few years anyway. You're 35 and sound like a geezer.

I like what eric's thread about a dangerous texting driver getting her comeuppance has turned into.

Better than the "cool story bro" that it deserved.

Eric seeing something we see every day on the road? That's cool.
