What Kind Of Things Have You Seen On Your Way To Work?

ron schenker

I was driving along the highway today cruising about 70 mph when I look in my rearview and right behind me there's a Savanna van bouncing up and down. His headlites were blinking from one side to the other almost like an ambulance. I move over one lane and slow down a bit to see what the
hey! The bouncing thing was freaking me out Well, it was a plumbing contractor with really worn out front shocks that made the van bounce like a gangsta's hydraulic ride every time he hit a bump. And the headlites must have had a loose connection but, it was really funny to watch. I wonder what a cop would write him up for

one morning on my way to work I came up on a truck that was barely off the side of the interstate. I was wondering if he was getting off or getting on...but I realized that it was stopped. As I get closer I see the passenger door fly open and a little boy is standing in the seat with his hand on the top of the door holding himself up and .........he's peeing. A little stream was coming from the truck I guess the lil fella couldn't hold it any longer and he was too scared to get out of the truck by himself.

Cops hiding in the bushes. I know where they hide out because I drive the same road all the time. It's kind of funny when I know that there is a cop ahead and slow down. Then someone passes me going real fast and he nabs them. Gotcha!

There has been alot of hail damage in the area lately, so it brings in some funny people. I saw a F250 with worn out tires. It was loaded about 12 feet high with ladders, planks, pump jack poles, housewrap, and lots of other tools. I drove by and all I saw was the driver and at least 6 heads in the vehicle. They were all mexicans or orientals. The guy driving looked about 65 years old, 135 lbs. smoking a cigarette hanging out the window. I aws laughing out loud all by myself. I wish I had my camera handy, but it was way in the back seat of my truck.

I see the same thing around here all the time only replace the mexicans, orientals with amish. Worked with alot of them. They have a good sense of humor and funny as hell.

This is a true story. My friend was driving to work one morning and saw a nekkid woman with her arms stretched around the hood of her boyfriend/husband's car as he was trying to leave. She was just hanging on like she didn't want him to leave or something.

Fat city, New Orleans, about 1989: I leave my apartment for work at 5:00AM. I cut through Fat City on my way to work. A biker dude pulls up beside me, shoots me the finger and passes out cold, dropping the old panhead. I jump out and set him upright and tell him, "the light is green" (at the stop sign), and I do not read about any horrible deaths the next morning, so I assume he is still MIA in a canal or made it home to his hovel.

This one kinda pissed me off....

Bout a year ago I was driving up US 101 and on the side of the (very busy) freeway was a van that was fully engulfed in flames. I hit 911 on the cell and pulled over quite a ways in front of it.

It was obvious that the flames had been going for a while, the van was fully involved by the time I ran back to it.

Hundreds of cars going by and not ONE person had stopped to try to help earlier on.

After about 10 min of me getting as close as I could and looking in the window and open cargo door a nurse pulls up and offers to help but we both decide that if anyone was inside they were long since DOA. I did not smell the stench of human flesh burning so I hope whoever it was made it out alive or that it was abandoned. It did nto look old - coulda been any soccer moms vehicle.

The apathy of people amazes me.


--------------- Another time

A few nights ago there were 2 RENTAL large RENTAL box trucks that were illegally using the fast lane, speeding, veering right and left, and sharing lanes with other pissed off drivers.

I bet it was a pair of morons who had never driven a damned truck before... these jerks were acting as if they were driving firebirds or something. These guys were seriously gonna grease someone.

Called the CHP on that one too.

At least once every three months I pass a flipped semi withing 2 miles of where I get on I66 every morning. Don't know what it is about this stretch that knocks em out but they seem to sleep well in this section of road. It's right where I66 starts when you exit I81 so we were figuring that they stay up looking for that exit sign then their head figures it's work is done when they get to it.

Saw yesterday a Hummer with the back roof section detached. In the back up against the back of the seats was a deisel cell with pump, probably 50 gallon or better. Never seen someone use a hummer to service equipment before. How good does he have it?

I drove I-95 to Palm Beach for 4 yrs., if you're doing 80, you're liable to get run over. Here's some examples;

A guy doing crossword puzzles.

Another guy reading comic books.

Women doing everything but driving.

A guy in a blue semi that thought he was riding a Ninja, lane surfing.

Lots of crotch rockets and kiddie cars lane surfing.

Rear brakes on a semi locked up, the complete axle truck ripped loose from the trailer and went bouncing down the road.

Wrecks of every kind every day. Record was 5 seperate wrecks, each involving 3-12 vehicles between 2 exits.

Worst wrecks;

Somebody rear-ending a stopped tractor trailer.

3 people in an old (gas tank behind the seat) pickup in a chain collision. The fuel tank ruptured and they never had a chance.

A Lincoln doing well over 100 lost it and went into an overpass support. Crushed right up to the rear roof pillars.

A guy on a rice rocket lowsided on the exit. Tires hit the curb, bike spun, hit the opposite curb and burst into flames. The guy's leg was trapped under the bike and he was fully aware of what was happening.

A guy towing a boat tried to go under a semi trailer at an intersection. It was like he never saw the trailer, he never touched the brakes.

I could go on.
