We call it a stinger...
Yep. And the bigger the crash, the more people will look. It's nature.
It doens't mean we're laughing at them.
When my friend crashed his car, we were stranded in the middle of a country road at around midnight in the autumn. The car was destroyed and on an angle in a ditch, me and the driver were injured, the other three bruised and bashed about, with minor cuts. There was a house, about a mile down, so two of my mates walked down to it for help. No answer.
About ten minutes later, a LandRover pulled up. Turns out, the house and the fields around it belonged to them. They stopped to look at the wreckage. They then asked "Is the fence damaged?" (obviously, beng their fence)
When we said no, they wound the window up and drove off.
Go and complain to them about people being hurt in road accidents, over precious fences. I meanwhile, will continue to look and wonder about car crashes.
Anyway it was quite close to some traffic lights which had obviously gone red. Some idiot drove passed and looked at the acident a bit too long... he smacked into the back of someone who had stopped at the lights!
It wasnt bad, only a bumper to bumper thing...
I know. I luckily, had not badly hurt any of my arms and threw a (albeit tiny) stone at their car. It probably didn't reach but made me feel better
I've seen many car crashes (not the moment they happen, but right afterwards). The crossroads outside my house used to be a regular crash spot, at some point we got one every month! I think at least once someone died...
It's calmed down now though.
Me too. I don't find crashes entertaining in the slightest.
That doesn't mean I don't look to see whats happened. Tbh, the first thing that runs through my mind when I see a crash? 'God, I hope no one's hurt.'
Facinating! Thast a much better description. I never use words properly.
Bollocks....
:yuck:
Go back and tell them that Peugot 106's aren't good for crashing :yes:
Oo the other day I saw one of those hideous mini coopers totally smashed into the back of a blaizer. It was like a cartoon the way that mini accordianed.
no offence to burns victims or anything.
Don't you worry, I agree Just don't tell the boyfriend
Oh a bank! Always gotta go running to see where the smoke is coming from too. Hate it when it turns out to be a bonfire or something
Geez, why don't you all try dragging those enormous poles out of your asses and lighten up for a change.
My_name, I know what you mean, and I feel your pain, but at least you got to hear the crash this time.
Really though, what camera was that picture taken on, it looks like an 80s video game
Crappy camera phone and a shaky hand, so you were really close Or maybe its actually a frogger game shot
God I can't believe you played frogger, that's so sick. Won't somebody think of the poor frog.
I mean Id LOVE to see an atomic bomb go off and a big mushroom cloud and everything, even though theyre apparently really bad for the environment.
Not all of us. You're looking at the girl who went out in bare feet in the snow to see what the huge bang was at 7 in the morning. (I did offer assistence though, I lent them my phone and went to get the drivers wife)
I read this thread light heartedly, and it turned into a huge debate with people calling my_name ridiculous things. I defy them to go past a crash and not look and gawp like everyone else.
Crashes fascinate me as much as the next bloke, but I fail to see how they can be entertaining. To actually look forward to somebody having a serious accident you have to be a twisted little cunt.
Do you watch the grand national just to watch the horse fall at the fence?
See my last post.
Well, yes.
Oh I'd pull over and get out some popcorn to see that one.
And yes, if it were a big huge life threatening crash I would not have come on here prancing around on it, it was a guy who hit a guard rail, bounced off and went on his merry little way in a few minutes. There is a big difference.
Its tough being a sick demented patheic creep though, people just don't understand you :crying:
Maybe you and mist and rolly can come over and watch that indy 500 for the crashes and drink tea and stuff *sniff*, cuz as they say, you don't watch races for the race anyways. I'd hate to meet the person that finds watching cars/horses/dogs run round and round to be amusing.
Those are good too. I saw one the other night where the guy crapped himself once they caught him
But taking an interest isn't a bad thing necessarily - at my old work we helped a woman who crashed into a car pulling blindly out of a side road and we called the AA for her. Everyone went to see what the screeching of tyres and the sound of crumpling metal was all about.
