HAHA It isn’t the cars fault that you got wet darling, it is because you didn’ dress appropriately for the weather. AI am sure buddy didn’t wake up this morning and think “Fun let’s go splash people with my car by driving through puddles” My advise to you is to grow up learn to dress appropriately for the weather and start taking responsibility for your own stupid decisions.
I did this before. ~blush~
I was coming off the MacDonald Bridge, and when I went to turn onto Wyse Road, I realized the whole area was flooded. Abandoned cars, water half way up their doors, were scattered throughout the area. Not wanting to become one of them, and unsure of what to do, I thought fuck it and I hit the gas. I plowed through that water like it was nothing and got to the other side successfully. But, just before I got to the other side, I noticed that I had created a tidal wave. And, in those same few seconds, I notice that not all the cars had been abandoned. Yep, I slammed a tsunami into some people who were standing by their cars already waist deep in filthy, freezing water. I felt soooo bad. So, if anyone reading this was one of those people, truly, I am soooo sorry.
When I drive in the rain, I take care to avoid puddles (whenever I can) near pedestrians. I’ve been splashed before and it sucks. You could wear a rubber rain suit complete with sou’wester and you can still get soaked by the the perfect splash… the kind that reaches your face and drips down into your jacket.
My daughter got splashed today actually. She was dressed for the weather. It was dirty, rocky water in her face. Some people are assholes.
Why not put a rock through the fucker’s back windshield as they drive away? Then run like the wind ’cause it’s illegal. Personally, I wouldn’t run. Get out of your fucking car dickhead so the next rock gets embedded in your forehead. Obviously your frontal lobes haven’t connected yet so a rock in that area would do great damage! It should be illegal for someone to deliberately drive through a puddle in order to get a pedestrian wet. It should be considered assault. I agree with virgomom… some people are assholes.
It’s the person that is walkings fault just as much as you may like to think it is the drivers fault. If you expect the driver to see the puddle then you yourself must have seen the puddle. Instead of moving away from the puddle or taking a step back you decide to blame the driver. Good Job. This arguement works both ways. Don’t blame drivers when you are EQUALLY at fault
Enough said- I did move back. Quite a bit. The driver was speeding to get thru the light and that’s why he was able to splash us. Had he of not be speeding and stopped at the yellow like he should have, my child wouldn’t have gotten a face full of dirty water. I took my precautions, the driver did not. So yeah, some people are assholes.
Funny how you didn’t include the yellow light and speeding before in your story. Whatever make you feel better.
It wasn’t a story before. I just said that it happened to her today. You made a comment, so then I felt the need to elaborate. You can choose to believe it or not, I don’t give a fuck.
A lot of lanes in the city are really narrow…it’s dangerous and irresponsible for the driver to swerve into other lanes to avoid a puddle.
nasty, i love it, but instead of the second rock, how about throwing a good ole roundhouse punch in their fucking face, would work well.
and add to the fact, the cities are full of crater lakes when it rains, all over the fucking place. miss one, get 6 more 109 feet down the road.
sorry, that should have been 10 feet down the road.
