Health: Today, I was driving and stopped behind a person at a stop sign....

By Harejordan - 04/02/2009 16:44 - United States

Today, I was driving and stopped behind a person at a stop sign. Their car didn't move for about 1 minute. I got out of my car yelling at the person. It was an old woman. She wasn't breathing. FML

Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. FML

Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML

Overreach

Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML

Today, I was sitting in a parked car. A woman was having difficulties maneuvering out. She honked the horn repeatedly for me to move, then looked me in the eye and called me a "f**king bitch", before driving off. I was in the passenger seat. FML

Today, I spent five minutes waiting by a stop sign. The two cars in front of me were taking a long time to move, so I began beeping and getting angry. Turns out, these cars were parked and I was holding up a line of traffic. FML

Today, an old lady asked me the way to the shopping mall. The shopping mall was not too far away, but I could see that the lady could barely walk so I offered to drive her there. She smacked my car's door into a pole while getting in my car. She didn't even notice that she'd done something wrong. FML

Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML

Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML

Classic scam

Today, I was driving when a woman started crossing the street against the light at the upcoming intersection, so I slammed on the brakes and stopped short of hitting her. That's when she intentionally jumped onto my car and started screaming that I had "mowed her down". The cops believed her. FML

She stopped breathing to teach you the virtue of patience.

Wow. That just sucks. If the lady was your grandmother that would have been worse.

This didn't happen for one simple reason. If she was dead, her foot on the brake pedal would have released pressure, causing the car to roll forward because the car would still be in drive. Therefore, the car wouldn't have "stopped moving for about 1 minute".

Actually ur wrong...when u die ur body stiffens and stays in the same position...that's why if ur in a certain position or holding onto something when u die it can be hard to change that...so this actually could happen...

Unless the car was a manual, in which case it would have stalled when her foot came off the clutch, and if the ground was flat, would have remained in the same place.

Seriously #5. In this state it's actually a law to make a complete 60 second stop before even moving at a stop sign or making a turn at a red light. Nice patience.

No, you don't deserve. It was a perfectly legit response. It's not like you knew she was dead.

why would he deserve it? 1 minute is basically forever waiting behind someone stopped and you didn't know. it was a completly reasonable response
