When my wife and I were dating, I would follow her home if we were out in seperate vehicles. She lived down a a dangerous, deserted road, and I didn't want her driving alone in the early morning hours.
One night we leave a club, and it is just starting to sprinkle rain. She was driving a lifted Jeep Wrangler. As we turn out of the parking lot, she starts to fishtail. My first thought is don't brake. Of course her brake lights come on.
What happens next is one of those moments where things sort of stand still, where you see everything in super slow-mo. She fistails in the other direction and runs straight into the curb on the other side of the road we were turning onto. We just started into the turn from a stop, so she wasn't going very fast. The jeep bounces up and there she is lying in the road. As quick as she hit the pavement, she was on her feet standing on the side of the road watching her jeep drive itself away. It did a ninety degree right turn up the side of the road in the mud. Of course, as she was watching, I was in hot pursuit. The jeep was headed right for the bank building. As it ran through two small cedar bushes, it came to at thumping stop. It ran head on into a green electrical box. I jumped in the jeep, got it back on the road in the right direction and got my then girlfriend BUCKLED in.
At this point a cop pulls up. My girlfriend was underage, and while not drunk, she had had a few drinks. So I high tail it back to the cop car and assure the officer that this was just a case of someone sliding on the wet pavement and hitting the curb. I followed her home. Her clothes were tore up, but she was none the worse for wear. She never forgot to put on her seatbelt after that.

the nyc subway system is a hotbed for odd/funny occurences. here is one of my particular faves: early one morning an abnormally smelly homeless lady got onto the car i was riding in. she sits down a couple feet from me and, while mumbling to herself, begins to pull down her pants.(i made a run for the doors between cars but they are locked due to increased security after 9/11). she then slides to the edge of her seat and begins to use the bathroom( both #1 and #2). i'm now standing at the doors holding my breath until we reach the next stop. as we pull into the station, the conductor brakes so hard that the homeless lady loses her grip and falls directly into the mess she was making. i love nyc.

When I was fifteen I was working at A&P (now Superfresh) as a "utility" clerk. One day they call me over the loudspeaker to take a mop to aisle four. I'm thinking no big deal someone broke a bottle of coke or two.
I go back get a mop and bucket go to aisle four and holy ****, what do I see? A big steaming pile of ****!. I'm not kidding. I'm about to puke and go tell the manager there's no way I'm cleaning that up.
Soooo, I lose that argument and head to aisle four AFTER I grab a pair of dish gloves, a snow shovel and a broom. I approach the pile and I'm about to pass out. I stretch my arms out as far as I could and sweep the pile into the shovel.
I'm done right? WRONG. Why? Because some moron(s) had actually ran over this pile of **** and now there is a trail all over the store. I'm thinking about quitting at this time, but I'm trying to save money for a car. I proceed to mop up the floor.
The manager and I proceed to find the culprit and there was a mentally challenged couple standing in front of the meat case and the woman was shaking her leg trying to get the remnants of her accident out of her pants. It was not a pretty sight.
That same night the manager and I chased three teenagers around the store because we caught them emptying the cool whip cans and snorting whatever it is in those cans. We caught one put him in the office, but he scaled the wall and ran out the door into the waiting arms of the police. :doh:

Steven, mine is pretty similar. In 93 I lived in Albq and worked in Santa Fe (about 60 miles). One of buddies from here in Cruces is from a Pecan farming family and he did a little retail booth for state fairs and other such ocassions. That weekend was the SF wine festival (which I encourage anyone to attend giving the opportunity) so I met my friend after work and my roomate drove up to Fe so we could all party together. That's what the booth was mainly, a way to make a little cash and swap nuts with the other booths for beer or wine. :silly:
Anyway, at the end of day of fairly hard drinking it was time to go home. I'd maintained for the most part but my roomate was pickled. I'm following him in my car and he's driving his full size Jeep Cherokee and he's weaving all over the freaking place. I flashed the lights to pull and convinced him that we should just crash in the vehicles and drive home in the am. We're driving down the frontage road, on the Santo Domingo Peublo rez, which I remebered made a 90 degree up ahead. Hoping the my roomate remembered too. In my headlights I watched him fail to remember until it was too late and the jeep rolled three times landing on the tires. Of course I skidded to a halt and ran over to make sure he was ok. He was thankfully, God does indeed look out for drunks and idiots. It was freaky as hell though and I can still picture it clear as day.
Oh, and KG that's nitrous oxide inside those whip cream cans. :D

I used to do the same thing, back in the day. My uncle was also a dentist, and me and my cousin would clean his office for spare cash. Generally, we did very little cleaning and whole lot laughing gas. :doh:

One time i was at baileys in arlington and this guy next to me was so drunk it was hilarious. anyways you could tell he was messed up so all of a sudden he bursts up and starts running for the bathroom. however, before he could get there he throws up all over the floor in front of himself and since he is still running he slips in his own vomit and lands in it rolling all over the place covered in it. anyways after he gets out of the bathroom he sits back down and orders two shots.....lol needless to say he got kicked out.

Once I saw an old Amish guy in upstate NY, flip over in his horse and buggy.
I got out to help him and stopped when I realized the Amish guy was up, OK, and kicking the living sh#$ out of his horse!
I laughed so hard and desperately wished someone else, anyone else had seen it too!

I watched my roomate in college pass one end of a cooked spaghetti noodle thru his nose and back out his mouth, then he would pull on both ends like he was flossing his teeth.:laugh: :logo:

My gf and I were driving home on 29 near culpepper, the roads were clear but I looked at some of the street signs as saw that it had been snowing. I started to slow down and as soon as i did we skid for a second on some black ice. I slowed down even more, and then looked in my rear view mirror and saw an suv coming up on my left....going about 65mph. Once the suv got even with us i looked over and heard "whoosh whoosh whoosh". The suv turned completely sideways and flipped over 3 full times....NASCAR style, literally 3 feet away from us.
