Mid-journey break

Let’s start with a relatively simple, yet emotionally painful incident. One user wrote during a long road trip spanning six states: He broke up with his girlfriend.

All these years later, I don’t really remember if it was her or me, but my girlfriend and I were traveling from Pennsylvania to Florida for spring break and got split up near Fort Myers on the way home. It was a long, quiet, uncomfortable 1,000-mile drive home.

With the deputy nearly exploding with anger trying to find a reason to ticket me and my brother continuing to oppose him, it was an hour of my life I’ll never get back,” wrote the author, who uses the pseudonym skeffles.

He added that he even offered the police officer to detain his brother, but instead received a loud slap from his mother, who was in the car. The author noted that he was only 16 at the time and his brother was fourteen.

This was one of the reasons why he wanted to move and eventually did so.

A team of drunk rugby players

Another story tells of a rugby team returning from a big party celebrating another match. One of the players got so drunk that he didn’t stop for two hours; it was a long drive.

He kept talking about how he deserved to be captain of the team and how his dad would “kick their asses when he gets out of prison.”

At one point, one of my teammates got fed up and kicked him in the face. He got the hint and disconnected within minutes. Blessed silence until… about 2 hours later, we realized he had wet himself in the backseat of my car.

The kids were out in the middle of the night and had no choice but to stay in the backseat with a classmate and the dirty seats.

After that, he gradually stopped going to training and eventually disappeared.

A traveler with a pet parrot

Another commenter described how he agreed to drive a colleague to one of his jobs in his brand new Toyota AE86 (model year 1983-1987). He got in the car with his parrot.

I hate birds! While driving a car a parrot bites his finger and he throws the parrot into the backseat and kicks it a few times. Feathers fly, a man is bleeding in my car and I’m trying not to crash.
– writes JSinclair39.

As if that wasn’t enough, when the duo arrived, the passenger sat the parrot on the roof of the car while the passenger went to bandage his injured finger.

“The devil bird gnawed a few holes in the windshield and I stood there looking at it. I thought if this bird tore its owner apart, it would have to sneeze at me. I still hate birds,” the author added.

Bad traveler

In the days before electronic navigation devices, a person in the front passenger seat with a paper map served as a guide.

The author writes that he was driving the interstate to visit the National Corvette Museum, and his friend Curt, who took on the task of following the route, “absolutely could not read a map.”

“We were over 50 miles off course before we realized we were on the wrong highway. When we realized we were off course, I stopped, got my bearings, and put Kurt in the backseat the rest of the way,” I wrote.

Signals from the passenger seat

While it wasn’t the worst thing that could have happened, this writer’s passenger, nicknamed Stang70Fastback, made him feel extremely uncomfortable by honking at a random driver on the road.

Taxi driver forced

In this story, the author tried to be a driver for a group of people. It all started when a well-known man in the city wanted to go to an apartment complex a few blocks away. He agreed that it wasn’t far. However, when he got there, the passenger suddenly extended his hand and signaled to another group of kids standing on the street.

I asked him why he did it and he said he was trying to get his friends’ attention and make them feel better. I told him no and kept going. He got mad at me and said I could have them.
– It says IDM3.

The owner of the vehicle did not give up and explained that he would not be carrying his friends and that passengers should not touch the horn, radio or anything else in another person’s vehicle. At this, the passenger “became very angry and started swearing at the driver.”

“I was also angry and ready to fight. That’s when I saw the police parked on the side of the road. I pulled over, stopped them, and told this joker to get out of the car and never ask for a ride again,” IDM3 continues.

It took several months, she says, for the man, whom the author describes as the town’s notorious lazy bum, to apologize.
