blopblopblopbloplblop....

the first pic shows splashing at the front of the car.....meaning that that stupid ass lady drove into the freaking "puddle". and then she stays in the friggin thing until she has to swim out? i hope her insurance company saw this and didnt pay. dumb ass.

every year when we have flooding, the douchebags on the news go over the same things " dont drive into flooded areas, dont try to walk through, blah blah blah. I always think " well, duh, who dont know that? why do they have to tell us every year?" I guess my questions are answered.

good pics, jag.

"They" always say you should never drive through standing water when you don't know the depth.

Great collection of pics, Jaguar. I saw these a few years ago. I never heard the story behing them. It's obviously the aftermath of a flood in Europe. But that's all you can see in the pics. Do you know more?

No sorry, I think i grabbed them off a dir on a server somewhere a few years ago, they ended up in my gigantic (~3G) random pics folder and I just happened to remember them.

I hope you know that this is the same lady that needs to have stupid instructions on products. For example

Hairdryer : do not use while sleeping
Batman Cape : Does not make user fly
Charcoal : Do not eat
And other stupid ones ( can't remember them all, ate too much charcoal) :rolleyes:

It's a different car then because this one was supposed to have happened last week. Still a great set of shots!

yeah, that and the car is a different color, the street is different, and the blue one looks like it has european tags.

it doesnt look llike the iotd one was hiden by a puddle, either.

Not only that, but look at how close those old people were to the puddle... she was either not paying attention, or trying to be a complete asshole by driving fast through the puddle and soaking all the people standing nearby. ;)

what a jackass !

OK, the woman wasn't smart to drive through the puddle.

In her defense though, a calm, flat, circular shaped puddle on a road appears to be only a few inches deep at the most. She obviously didn't know the pothole was over 10 feet deep. If she did, she wouldn't have driven through it.

Every rainy day, I walk home past a puddle on a busy street. Hundred of people drive through this puddle. They all assume that it's only a couple of inches deep, and they are right. Have none of you ever driven through a puddle before? Most puddles are shallow.

If you are going to mock anyone in the picture, I think the old guy in the front, with the big gut and the bag, is certainly mock-worthy. He just stands there like a doofus during the whole thing.

yeah, you're right, glatt. hindsight is 20/20. looking at the pic where the cop is standing there, i think I would have gone through in my jeep. the close ups don't show that very well.

In my interview for the psychology master's degree, in an attempt to make up for my lack of background in the field, I said to the Dept Chair, "Well, in Geography you look at and plan for aggregate human behavior. What I'm looking at here, is focusing more on individual behavior."

Either that or the fact that I was already employed in one of the more notorious local nuthouses and loving it lead to an interesting exchange. The absent minded prof had scheduled two interviews at the same time ... I was in jeans and a tee shirt, because i was really in "just checking things out mode," hadn't even applied for the program and was picking up the papers to look over that day, expecting to apply for September admission. There was a young lady in business suit, with a briefcase and copy of her Bachelor's in Psychology from a well known university there as well. He talked to us both a bit. At the conclusion of the meeting, he told her that he might consider her for admission to the program if she took a couple additional undergrad psych classes. He turned to me and said, "You will register for my Learning and Memory class. It starts a week from Tuesday."

I had to get my application in REALLY fast.

Hold on, we never mock...

Wrong Glatt, in the film clip, she drove around a roadblock.:rolleyes:

bruce, do you have a link to that clip?
