Was driving down the road once when a came upon a car with hydraulics, jacked up on one side like this (except that the driver's side was higher).
We were both going about 30MPH. While I was impressed, I immediately hit the brakes so I wasn't beside him any longer. A few minutes later, he dropped the side down. Weight shift was so violent he spun into my lane and stopped. Easily drove around him and kept on to the house. When in doubt, give the crazy people room to be crazy.
Same stretch of road I had a guy in a red truck behind me, driving crazy and swerving. I got out of his way. He accelerated up a little bit, drove off on the side of the road. Opened the door and started puking. Guess he couldn't make it home.
Replying to myself to keep from flooding the page with anecdotes.
Worked at a small web hosting company where the head of HR just happened to be the CEO's mom. She was hilarious. Loved pulling pranks and shit. Back in the day, the "developer herd" (about 15 guys) would rip out of the office at 3pm, walk a few blocks to a local gas station. Buy up a shit ton of energy drinks, snacks and stuff, and then walk back to the building.
That particular day, I had to deliver a box to one of our locations. CEO told me she would take me. Met her up at the front of the building, hopped in. She took a hard left and started down the road. Lo and behold, it was about 3:30 and the developer herd was on it's way back, munching on snacks and downing energy drinks. "Watch this" she said.
She sped up, turned a hard right on the wheel, bouncing up onto the curb, aiming right for the developer herd. Geeks scattered, dropping snacks and energy drinks and otherwise trying to get out of the way. Slowed down just enough so everyone could see her grinning face (and me in the passenger seat floor board), when she turned back on the road and drove straight to my destination.
"They deserved it" she muttered, lighting up a cigarette. "They damn well know that breaks are 15 minutes".

Glad I moved from the south.

This is a true story.
