That was good for a laugh; thanks, Stomachmonkey.

I could give her credit for it being a new car (maybe), so not knowing which side the gas tank is on...but to think it would miraculously appear on the driver's side simply by going to the other side of the pump...that's classic stupid.

That's seriously impressive stupid.

Tell her to get off her damned phone and pay attention to what she needs to do !

Had to be staged. Certainly no one is that stupid!

As an aside...the subtle snickering from the peanut gallery is classic....

Went for a drive with my ex MIL today. Her daughter was in the back, I got assigned the shotgun seat. Was offered the drivers, should have taken it.

I'll set the scene: Curvy mountain roads with frozen ice patches. 100'-150' drop offs with no side rails, 90 km speed with 2 passing zones.

She is driving, talking with her hands (both of them sometimes) pointing at stuff and turning around to look at her daughter when she talks directly to her. When she points to something on the right side of the road she drifts left (into the other lane) The rumble strips warn her. We are doing 75-85 kph in a 90 zone. When we get to passing zone she speeds up to 90. A guy passes and is starring at her. She see's that and remarks "What the hell are you staring at bub" I'm trying to be polite and say "Please quit pointing at stuff" and "one lane at a time is a good idea"

If I had Xanax I would have taken it.

Oh man, that's funny. I really hope that's staged, because I can't stop laughing

sc_rufctr 01-01-2015 12:02 AM

Oh dear... That's just ridiculous. Surely it's not real! BAHAHAHAHA...

And if it was real how was she able to drive around like that without hitting anything?

mattdavis11 01-01-2015 02:38 AM

That was funny, thanks for sharing.

The Sam's Club gas pumps have one way drives here. Well, they are not really one way, but they want all customers to pull in and out in the same direction. If it's busy, I oblige. However, the number of vehicles that have the fuel filler on the left, greatly outweighs those that are on the right, so those pumps are usually open. The sheep will wait while I will utilize the length of the fuel hose to fill up on the "wrong side".

I love seeing the look on people's faces when I pull in. As I fill up, usually I'll tell the person using the other side to keep it a secret.

I laughed, and then I realized I have about the same luck when I try to plug in an USB device . . .

My wife and I are amazed at how prevelant that is...we actually came up with a name for those drivers; P*******s.
We live in the mountains and there are few chances to pass cars on most roads. From mid spring through late fall the amount of out of state drivers skyrockets and the "P*******s" come out in force.

50/50 chance of getting it right on the first try yet seems 80% of the time you get it wrong.

I'd bet she also drives consistently in the left hand lane.
