Not Always Right
Two of these caught my attention as they reminded me of a couple of our regulars:

(I overhear the following conversation as I’m stocking crafts; it’s a forty-something mother and her teenage daughter.)

Mother: “… okay, we need beads.”

Daughter: “Just make it fast.”

Mother: “Don’t take that attitude with me.”

Daughter: “I don’t know why I go anywhere with you!”

Mother: “Oh, look! Gift boxes! With Rudolph on them!”

Daughter: “Mom, be quiet. Just shut up… please.”

Mother: “Look! Rudolph! You see Rudolph?”

Daughter: “Mom, shut up! Can we leave?”

Mother: “It’s just so godd**n a** f**king cute!”

Daughter: *rolls her eyes and stomps off*

(I’m a driving instructor taking a student for his first drive ever. It’s a quiet suburb street, away from major traffic.)

Me: “Okay, just pull out slowly and watch for parked cars…”

(As my student is doing this, a frustrated driver that has been following us pulls into the lane next to us, driving the wrong way since it’s a two-lane road.)

Angry driver: *yells out window* “Learn to f**king drive!”

(The angry driver speeds off … and crashes right into a car heading the opposite direction. Later on, after we’ve pulled over and are waiting for the police…)

Me, to student: “Okay, that’s an example of what NOT to do while driving.”

Heh
Also - shouting learning to drive at a learner driver? Did he think the L-plates and dual controls where the latest fashion in car mods or something?

Apparently
that was in Australia. I don't know how they do things there.

But actually, it reminds me of a story I read here in the QOTW once- Captain Placid, maybe?- about a guy ramming his Porsce into an oak log...

Yeah, but even in australia
People aren't born knowing how to drive.... I don't remember the pourche story... Seems like a way to go to ruin a rather expenisve car though. I can just imagine that the level of smugness in the driving instructors car must have been pretty damn high!

Goddam, my memory is better than I thought.

It was indeed the good Captain's story.

Heh!
That's utterly fantastic! I know that there's a fair few people who drive such expensive cars sensibly and with due care and such, but so many don't. Nice to hear of one of them getting their comeuppance.

It's like when people shout "get some exercise!"
at a fat person.

Who is jogging at the time.
