I have one to submit, but my wife wouldn't let me get a photo.

Bear in mind, we have had like 4 inches of rain in as many days and it didn't rain today.
I saw a late 70s to early 80s chevy 4wd buried to the axle in his yard. Well, the back axle. The front was sitting on the driveway. He would rev, sling mud, but the front wasn't doing anything. There was another set of tracks where it looks like he spun thru the yard once, then I guess decided to back in instead.

Couple days ago I stopped to wash my truck after the Idaho to Alaska trip, the cashier was sitting out in the deli area and seemed irritated just having to get up...still sitting she ask Do you want something? I say, yes I would like some wash tokens...She huffs and waddles back to the cash registers then ask how much would I like...I look in my wallet pulled out a 20 and said make it 20 bucks worth, now mind you they are $2 tokens....she has this look then ask the manager...If he buys $20 worth of $2 tokens...How many does he get?...And no I wasn’t nice.

It's been raining. A lot. I'm about 3 miles from the Ohio river.I have seen several vehicles come by my house on roll back wreckers. One car had the front smashed from hitting the water at about 45 mph. (The speedlimit is 35) There is a road closed/high water sign, you go two blocks to another one and the road is wide open. The flooded part is a good block long and up to 3 or 4 feet deep.

I was looking for the fail thread but this will work too. On the way in this morning, I'm pulling a small trailer with a a lift on it, and I'm also running 1/2 hour early so I was cruising along, taking it easy. A beemer blows past me doing 80 at least. A few miles up the road, it was wrapped around a light pole with a cop stepping out of his car with a what the flagnog look on his face. I thought about stopping and letting him know that a mile back it was breaking the sound barrier but it seemed kinda obvious.

Actually, he probably would've appreciated witness info if the traffic was safe enough for you to stop. But yes, poetic justice is nice when you can get it.

Well I kinda left out the part where I noticed a few days ago that my tags have been out since February. He woulda really got a kick outa writing that ticket, and then I'da been listed on here. If something comes out in the paper about it I can send in a signed statement if it looks like they will need it. With the timing, it looks like he was sitting at the intersection when it happened.

Even better, maybe a pursuit got started and the guy lost it looking in his mirror...

It was a she. There wasn't anything other than someone driving way to fast and lost it into a concrete light pole.

She was probably texting & applying make up at 90 mph.
