The Official Yet Completely Questionable Random Thread

[Stake fodder]

On August 4th, I was grocery shopping when I heard several people talking about a really bad accident that had just happened. When I got home I turned on the news. My God. A woman ran a red light, at nearly 100 miles per hour.

(I've ALWAYS avoided that stretch of La Brea because it's a steep downhill slope; my truck is older and fairly large, so braking can be tricky)

I can't believe the driver survived that! But I see six others were killed, wow. I don't think it was just brakes giving out, though.

I'm marveling at all the drivers who seem to say "Huh," and then keep driving through the intersection!

She never braked at all. She PURPOSELY caused that accident...she's up on murder charges. Two of the six fatalities were babies...one not even born yet. That woman will never see the light of day again, hopefully.

(I mentioned my brakes because that part of La Brea is scary for me to drive)

Won't be surprised if the driver has some long term health implications from the accident as well...
I was in a car accident (minor compared to the one ABS talked about) a few weeks back and had whiplash, I'm OK most days but there are still some days where my neck and ribs hurt (but not nearly as much as they did the first few days after).

She killed six people. Two burned to death inside their cars. One baby was thrown threw a windshield and landed on the pavement. Honestly, if the driver has any long term health problems, let her suffer.

Driving is scary, especially in LA. I didn't learn until I was 23 because I was terrified. (I STILL won't drive on freeways) I drive defensively and never assume someone is going to stop for a red light. Even if I have the right of way, I pause a bit.

But if someone rides my bumper, they'll get a quick break check. If they continue doing it, I'll stop and put my hazards on. If they're in such a hurry, they can bloody well go around me.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope your injuries completely heal. 💕

Update: made cookies last night. 8 left over and placed into container. Going to work, will see how long they last in said container. Seems to be a sweet thief in my house… 🤔🤔

I like how we went from this serious conversation about a terrible car accident with several deaths to “I made cookies!”

I hope that lady gets put away for the rest of her life, frankly. Nothing is worth the deaths of 6 people

I agree, she should be isolated in a prison cell and rot there, according to YouTube she had 13 accidents before this one...surprised she didn't have her license taken away from her until now.

Why not take them to work with you ?

Initially, I hesitated talking about it because the entire thing was so awful. And I didn't want to bring such gloom and doom here, yet I finally decided it was worth mentioning. I purposely chose a YouTube clip that only showed the accident itself, steering clear of news footage which gave so many horrifying details. 😢

I just keep slowing down more and more, till they get fed up and go around!

Hey, that's the random thread at its best!

It’s my death and mayhem default. “Who wants cookies?”

🤣🤣🤣

Hope you heal soon! A few of you may recall that I was in a rather bad accident my 1st year here.
Was blindsided by drunk driver who ran a red light. Literally thought I was going to die! 😦
Ended up with few broken ribs, cracked sternum with heart & lung contusions! Was in hospital for a week!
My poor car was totaled! Was guy's 3rd DUI and second crash (1st was solo)! His (soon to be ex) fiance was in hospital too.
Of course, he was only one who wasn't hurt seriously. 😏 Earned himself an all expense paid long staycation in the pokey,tho. 😉

Did you visit and laugh at him through the bars of his jail cell? 🤔

The microwave was making weird electrical noises and there were blue flashes going off inside it. I unplugged it, then opened it an hour later. Looked like a bomb had gone off in there! Yeah, so screw THAT. Bye bye, microwave!

Now I have to actually COOK things the old fashioned way for awhile.

 

[HowiMetdaSlayer]

How many times do I have to tell you. You can't launder money in the microwave! 🤨 Especially not coins! 😉

 

[Anyanka Bunny Slayer]

Holy crap!! I just had an 15 minute interview and he hired me on the spot. I don't BELIEVE this. I think it was because I was relaxed, had experience, and was very professional. (Yes, I was honest about being fired from the last place)

So now, they'll be doing a background check 😱 then I'll go to a three day training thing...and after that, schedule a drug test. He said it takes about a week... we'll see how it goes. I made sure to ask, "Does this mean I'm hired?" He said, "Yes."

I was so smooth during the interview, and it's funny that NOW I'm nervous. 😅


Truthfully, I always ace interviews. Always. Doesn't mean I last long at a job, but I'm outstanding in interviews. 😋

 

[HowiMetdaSlayer]

Congrats! You go girl! 🙂


One teensy little quibble... who you gonna get to pee in a cup for you? 🤔
🤭

 

[Plasma]

Nice! I would gladly volunteer to do the cup thing, but then I would have to answer questions like “why are you mailing urine in a cup” and “did you know that this is a crime of some sort” and “did you know you have the right to an attorney.”

In all seriousness, happy for you! You deserve it 🙂

 

[Anyanka Bunny Slayer]

The drug test shouldn't be a problem. It's been awhile since I've had edibles, and the only other stuff I take is prescription pain killers. 😛

One thing I forgot to mention!! When I was taking my microwave out to the trash, the husband of "window slammer" said hello, asked how I was, etc. I said I was fine, and he ACTUALLY said this, "Well, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. I won't repeat it to anyone, not even my wife." I swear to God, that's what he said! Does he really think I'd tell him anything? And if I did, that he wouldn't tell her?! It's like he was a spy, trying to get precious intel out of me. That's just so bizarre. I'm almost insulted he thinks I'm THAT stupid.
