Sounds like my wife's asshole cousin who has been in so many crashes and totaled so many cars at this point that he's had his license taken away and has to get around Indianapolis on a scooter. And he's in his 20s.

I remember the day at a family function when the roads were icy him bragging to us about how he made it down to the function doing 80 on icy roads and sliding around everywhere but didn't crash. Seriously, he was bragging about it as if it made him Mario Andretti.

His dad is a doctor, so I'm guessing he was paying that high insurance for quite some time, but no longer. His dad also bought him a Cadillac which, obviously, he totaled. I love his dad, he's my GP, but he has a big blind spot when it comes to his son.

doing 80 on icy roads and sliding around everywhere [...] bragging about it as if it made him Mario Andretti.

This, at best, makes him kinda okay at Mario Kart.

But even that game forces you to give up if you crash too many times.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's one of many reasons I can't stand him.

The fact that his voice has two volume levels, secretly mutter something offensive and shout at the top of his lungs no matter how close he is to your ear, makes me hate even going to her family's functions.

Has he ever considered becoming a park ranger?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Are they in the habit of muttering offensive things and yelling in people's ears?

bragging about that is like bragging about negligently discharging a gun in a crowd of people and miraculously, nobody gets hit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't put that past him either. And I hope he doesn't have any guns, but I have a feeling he does and I have a feeling he's pointed them at people as a "joke" before too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

probably didn't exercise trigger discipline when he did, and who knows whether it was loaded.

Suppose i should probably put up my premature simpsons "vision" and say that he is going to get fucked up some day.

I was actually surprised at how recent the bike infrastructure was in downtown Indianapolis so using a scooter to get around would not be bad in downtown at least.

He's in Greenwood. Less bike friendly.
