When i was in junior high school, I was walking home from school in the rain, when a car driven by a high school kid, with his friends in the car, purposefully swerved to the puddle beside me and drenched me. I ran after the car, and about a half mile away, I saw it parked in the driveway of a house. There was a garden hose adjacent to the house and hooked up to the spigot. The car was unlocked, so I opened the door, rolled down the window just a bit, and put the hose in, turned on the water and walked away. I never found out the ultimate upshot, but I'll bet that the driver never did that again.
A real asshole will ask to tryout your car, roll the windows down, hit the shutoff so that only he can roll the windows back up, then drive in the curb lane where there just happens to be several houses watering the tree lawns in front of their houses, just to drive s-l-o-w-l-y and soak your ass and your car, laughing the whole time, as my brother did to me. Yep! I'm the baby of the family. irontomflint
#3 reminds me of what it was like walking from then Parking Lot 3 to the main campus at U of MD on a rainy day. Half-a-mile of lousy drainage and traffic that did not slow down. I learned to carry 2 umbrellas. one for the rain, one for the tire splash. Looked like an ancient Roman Testudo (appropriate since the Testudo was the University Mascot).
The first year we had dragonboat races here, there was a big competition over bragging rights between the cops and the firefighters. The cops went with size and sank their boat.

DeleteMy blood line was there competing, the US made a Stamp of their picture, I do believe my mom still has the stamp.
ReplyDeletePeople who speed thru puddles to spray others are assholes.

#6 Strong, but stupid.
ReplyDeleteEvery time we get a boat up on the railway that's my nightmare. And I darn sure don't want to be in it if it goes over.
ReplyDelete#6 - heavy rain.
ReplyDelete1. Nothing a couple coats of paint fix, right?
ReplyDelete-lg
3 - don't be a target
ReplyDelete7 - that's a pretty nifty trap

ReplyDelete#9 is the democrat party. They are still rowing in the direction of communism, and none of them have a lick of sense to stop rowing and start bailing.
ReplyDelete#6 lighter weight more reps...moron...
ReplyDelete#10- if that white Volvo wagon hadn't been there, those other cars would have taken even more damage...
ReplyDelete1. It'll buff out.

ReplyDelete6: My back hurts just watching that.
ReplyDelete7: Looks like they've got this one.
9: Points for determination...still rowing as they sink.
