Stupid things you've seen

[ken0042]

I once saw a guy get onto the ice during a Flames intermission for a contest, and he kept shooting at the wrong net. He probably would have won otherwise.

(Sorry- you know we are never going to let you live that one down!)

People in tiny cars trying to make it through the bus traps and getting stuck.

The guy at the Flames game who had three choices for a prize and said "Number b" infront of 19,289 snickering fans.

Back when I used to take the bus to school, every couple of days I would witness a guy who rode his bike to work, all the while reading a book. Still can't can't believe this guy would just whip down Acadia drive with his head just buried in a book!

Someone on a Suzuki Hayabusa popping a wheelie and go speeding past me ... when I was going 100mph.

People talking on their cell phones while driving.

I was driving home on Deerfoot a few weeks ago, in the middle lane, when this guy driving his fancy car, talking on his cell phone, decides to pull right in front of me without signaling, and without checking to see if any cars may be coming. I had to hit my brakes so I didn't hit him. The guy behind me honks his horn, and in I turn honk my horn at the ######bag that just cut me off. That same ######bag then goes over to the left lane, again without signaling or anything, and gives me the finger as I go by him, all the while blabbing away on his stupid cell phone.

The lady on family feud who's question was to name a fruit that started with the letter a. She screamed out Arange.

nice one. I keep hoping to see this happen live. I only ever see the aftermath of some poor dummy with a wrecked front end.

Your fault for interupting this guys conversation!

I hate it when you get angry at someone for being stupid then they get mad back at you for getting mad at them for being stupid. I think that makes sense.

I've seen it.

This was the bus trap at the entrance to Diamond Cove. Some guy with a big jacked up truck with huge tires on it tries his luck. One of his tires got stuck, but he threw it into 4 wheel drive and made it through, much to my surprise.

All the while, he was being watch curiously by some guy in a F150 (about a 10 year old one). I guess this guy figured he could make it too, so he goes at it at a pretty good speed and his front end goes right into the trap. It was impossible not to laugh at him.

I've ridden by them tons of times as two of my bike routes have bus traps in them. I have no idea how anyone could miss that giant sign that says do not enter.

I have no idea what this magical bus trap is. It sounds amamzing though

Theory is only buses are wide enough to use, used to prevent shortcuts.

edit: STeeley (below), this is just a random google search, no idea.

Gozer, is that the one between Center Street and Harvest Hills Blvd?

And yes... only buses can use them supposedly... My friend told me she once say someone in a minivan pull out to planks of wood, had it across the trap and went through, the only thing was.. a bus was coming up behind it watching it all... ahaha.

The idiocy here is that the person really only needed one plank.

They dont want people cutting through residential areas to avoid traffic.
