The lawyer doing the counter suit is gonna get paid whether he wins or not. Basically just padding his bill a little.

Write civil complaint : $
Submit complaint: $
Read judge's decision to dismiss: $
Phone call to client to discuss civil suit: $

Goddamn do I wish I was a lawyer sometimes.

Yeah this is the thing. The drunk morons lawyer is simply riding this out as much as he can. It will literally end with him going "Sorry we lost the 5 million countersuit, Mr. Golden. That'll be $75,000."

I haven't read any of the details because I'm lazy, but I'm pretty sure that $5m figure is because the Taco Bell dude lost his job when the video surfaced. Not saying he deserves it or anything, but he lost a boat load of money when that video hit youtubes.

This kind of person would do this at some point. If it wasn't an Uber driver, it would be some other service person that he would assault. He's just mad that it was on tape so he can't try and pay them off before poo poo hits the fan.

A crippling blizzard in Washington DC, yet idiots still want to go out in it. Better make sure the ol' SUV is in good condition.


Sure wish I'd been able to whip my phone out today to capture what I knew in advance was going to happen.

Interchange from a surface street to a freeway on-ramp north of NYC, rural area. Nearing white-out blizzard conditions; about two inches of snow on the road, not much traffic (and most people being careful). Lexus SUV barrels around me on the left as I'm just getting into the on-ramp lane, and shoulders his way in front of me onto the ramp itself. It's a downhill, decreasing-radius ramp, and halfway around the loop his rear end steps out against the outer guardrail and he spins into the inside ditch pointing the wrong way while I pass him, my passenger applauding theatrically.

Saw it coming, couldn't get our poo poo together to record it :negative:

Like a friend of mine used to say, "It doesn't matter whether you have 2- or 4-wheel drive, if you're stupid to begin with". People think that SUVs and FWD make them invulnerable, and the schadenfreude just picks up from there.

I was wondering where the first "I blew up my engine" was going to happen after seeing the forecasts.

People who aren't used to driving on compacted snow or ice don't understand that revving the engine and spinning the tires is just going to cause the engine to get hotter and hotter. In the meantime, there's no air being forced over the radiator and this is the inevitable result. Last year was that semi-famous pic from Raleigh that got memed. And I seem to recall it happening in GA a year or two before that.

I like that they yell "FORWARD", she puts the throttle to forward, the boat (being a boat) doesn't start slowing down all that fast, so they yell "FORWARD" harder, and she thinks she must have it wrong, and slams it full astern. :allears:

:allears: Somebody, in this dispute at some point consciously made the decision to threaten someone with a gun over twenty-five dollars. I suppose if you're gonna find your own hill to die on, the counter of some dinky gunshop in Picayune, Mississippi is as good as any.

I always meant to ask – what is that little twang you feel in your chest when you watch someone wipe out hard? Has this weird sensation ever been researched?

For instance, the skateboarder 3:12 at or the cyclist at 4:08 give me a little jolt (for lack of a better term) in my upper body. Curiously enough, it only happens during the first viewing.
