The official status update thread - I

[UncleMike]

I just got a good laugh. I'm sitting in my work van eating lunch. Somebody was trying to pull out of this parking lot with about a 6 inch area of their windshield clear enough to see out. They bumped into a light pole. Then they backed up, turned a little, and proceeded to hit it again. They finally managed to get to the parking lot exit, then ran over the curb getting out.

Wait, it gets better...they then gunned it turning on to the street. They spun around and caught a back tire on another curb. Now their tire is separated from the rim. This guy actually limped his car over to the side and then proceeded to clean off the windows! After that, he opened his trunk and pulled out a bunch of torn up boxes full of who knows what and set them in the snow. He wrestles the spare tire out and starts cussing because its flat as a pancake.

This story is not over yet...He starts madly throwing stuff back in the trunk. Now he can't get the trunk closed. He literally climbs up on his car and tries jumping on the trunk to get it closed! Of course, the snow makes the car slippery and he falls on his arse. He also succeeds in making a huge dent in his trunk lid.

All this is happening less than 50 feet away from me and I'm starting to wonder if this guy is gonna hear me laughing my butt off!

He rearranged the boxes only to realize that the trunk will no longer latch because he bent the hell out of it when he fell on it. I'm still laughing but now I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the guy.

He's sitting in the car talking on his phone now. I'm waiting for the poor guy's phone to die or something. He doesn't appear to be having a very good time.

Once again.
Darwin was right!!
