Today, I was driving with my little brother when out of nowhere he yelled at me to stop. Thinking it was urgent, I slammed my breaks, almost getting rammed from behind. Why did he yell for me to stop? The Pokémon GO said there was a sparrow near us. FML

First of yes sorry spearow. Second thankfully my brother and I are fine and the guy that was behind us is too, well aside from being beyond pisses off at me he was fine. The reason I slammed my break is because the street I was driving in is infamous for people getting hit because they run across hopping to beat the car and I though I was about to hit a little kid or an animal. When we got home I explained to him how Pokemon is not a good reason to get us kill especially for a simple Pokemon like that one. Don't get me wrong I play the game to and have had some close calls because I wasn't paying attention but none where while I was driving. I mostly walk or ride my bike to go hunting for pokémon

Gotta catch em all! Seriously though, have a talk with him about this. A sparrow is now worth stopping for.

Been there, done that lol. But seriously any pokemon he sees most likely wont go anywhere quick. Tell him to next, if its that important to him, to ask you to pull over so he can get out and catch it. Alternatively you could just tell him youre not gonna pull over for something like that and if he keeps pulling that crap and scaring you into slamming on your brakes then tell him you wont drive him anywhere anymore.

Op's comment is riddled with grammar, structure and occasional spelling mistakes. I don't know how to feel about this.

You let him be because english isn't everyone's first language?

Don't comment, English may not be OP's first language. There is no need to point something as stupid as that out, especially since the passage still makes sense.

Keep your grammar nazism to yourself please.

#60, I can't tell if you're joking or not. No, you must be since yours is worse than the original. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're satirizing the grammar grievances.

#60 If you're going to be a grammar Nazi and correct others, at least learn basic grammar rules and don't leave mistakes. Otherwise, you are just making a fool of yourself.

Tell him also that if you tap on the Pokemon it will stay on your screen even as you drive away.

Not a sparrow, a spearow. And it was worth it

Not worth it. It's too common. Maybe a charmander or bulbasaur or anything better.

*Spearow I love it when people try to correct someone and they're wrong. OP already corrected himself.
