Big brother is watching. Nothing of substance so why waste the keystrokes?
Your friends would rather walk five miles barefoot on asfault in 110 degree heat than accept a ride from you.
People ask you about “the accident”, and you reply, which one?
You rear end someone at a stop light and then jump out screaming, “Whiplash!!!”
You replace your airbag more often than your oil.
You walk into traffic court and everyone shouts out your name.
You swerve to miss a tree… and it’s your air freshener.
