Keep it clean folks. :icon_thumby: Things you have seen or experienced.
Like today, I was on my way to work, sitting at a stop sign, when a bird flew into my side window. I had just turned my head to look for traffic and BAM it hit the glass. Didn't seem hurt, just flew off.
 
well yesterday i saw a big suburban driving across a lake and realized he couldnt make it so stopped got out swam to shore and had to go get his buddies truck that was taller yet to retrieve it then as i pull up to the stop sign someone spray painted it and it said stop B***H

Punctuation is such a powerful tool. I have no idea whether you just told one story or two.

Ok, here is the best one...I was coming from South Miami are awhile back in my 74 MGB with the top down about 2:30 in the morning. I was coming across Alligator Ally heading toward the Tampa/ St Pete area and I heard this flap, flap, flap and whoosh noise right over my head!!! Something lightly touched my head!! It is so dark out that way. The only lights at night are auto and truck lights. I had to pull over to see what went right over my head. It seemed to land in thew back seat. I got my flash light out from the console area and shined it in the rear compartment area. No back seat in the MG's just storage and the battery. I saw this huge bat!!! It had a wingspan of at least 3 ft. I wish I had a camera with me. Man that was one big bat. I poked it with the flash light and it flew off unhurt.

This is a true story, Dudes!!!

I used to do long-haul trucking. One day, I was blasting across west Texas on I-10, doing 70 (truck was governed to 70) In the median ahead, I see the rear trailer of a FedEx double laying in the median on it's side, converter dolly still attached. About a 1/2 mile ahead, I see the tractor & front trailer with the driving having a big "WTF????" look on his face.

I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall when he explained that one to his boss back at the terminal.
 
This isn't weird, but I've seen alot of people drive off leaving things on the roof. Soda, backpacks, cell phones. Just funny.
 
I saw a dude with a busted in winshield driving with his head out the window. In December. Must have been somewhat chilly. :icon_rofl:

i saw that guy too, his name is ace ventura, pet detective


this happened to my brother a few years back, he was on a highway here in raleigh, at night, going 70 mph with the windows down. he said he heard something hit the windshield and then felt something land in his lap! well it just so happened to be a bat, a dead bat. he didnt stop to see what it was until he got to his g/f's house, pussy
 
When I had my 89 BII years ago, I was going to drive over a paper bag in the middle of the road one rainy night. As I got close to it, the "bag" looked up, jumped straight up and I tagged it with the ford logo on my front grill. It was the biggest freaking Barn Owl I have ever seen eating something it had killed in the middle of a busy road. Cracked the shit out of my grill. Went back to find the bird and it was nowhere to be seen, so it flew away???????



Sorry for the italics. I am not sure how that happened.
 
On a deer hunting trip. I was getting ready to step out of the truck with my gear and rifle. Soon as I cracked the door open, a doe stumbles into the door and shuts it. Opened the door and the doe took off running. I never took the shot and never would have since it was too dark. But it was a good wake up call getting scared half to death by the prey that I was hunting.
 
I had a deer hit me one night... no lie, ran right into the side of my truck...

I was cruising home one night, doin about 50 and I catch sight of this deer running across a field towards the road, so I start to slow up but there's nowhere to go, cars are coming the other way and off to my right is the drop-off into the field. Thing starts running along the bottom of the drop-off along side the road and I slow up a lil more, then it cuts up to the road, bounces off my passenger side door, runs back across the field and disappears into the woods.

Meanwhile I'm cursing a blue streak, my Ranger was brand shiny new at the time and I thought for sure from the sounds that it smashed in my door and scratched up my paint. Got to a spot to pull over, got out with a flashlight to look... no damage, not even a scratch. But it did take all of the salt spray off the side of my truck in the outline of a deer, lol. Wish I would have got a picture of that...


Aside from that, I've seen a lot of stupid things (left hand turn from the right hand lane on a 6-lane with no signals, guy not paying attention run a redlight and broadside a car right in front of a cop, etc).
 
On my way to work, at 4AM on a pitch black, moonless November morning. Something appeared in my headlights, hit my drivers side front window in front of my face, and was gone. After work I could identify a barn owl impact from the dust that came off the bird on impact. There was enough detail in the dust that I could see defined facial feathers, beak, and eyes. Drove that ranger for 4 days looking at that birds' face on my window.
 
A 300 pound woman push mowing a yard in a orange tube top with bright blue SPANDEX knee shorts...................with a ciggerette in her mouth.

I DID NOT make this up!Did I take a picture........ ahhhhhhh NO!The image is burned into the back of my eyes.
 
When I was younger, I was at my friends house watching Arachnophobia, when I went to my car afterward to get something a spider had built a perfect web from my rear view mirror to my passenger side door! Spooky!

Oh, and just the other day my wife and I got behind a truck with a guy holding a mattress in the back of a truck going down the interstate and he looked like he was about to loose it. We laughed so hard I almost wrecked the car, we called it redneck bungee cord! LOL
