stupidest thing u have done or seen a rookie do?

Never ever ever look down at your watch when ya got the crankhandle going at warp speed.

 

ok...that i totally agree with...im glad things worked out in your favor in the long run...some charges i agree should be sealed for a teenager, but stupid crap like that deserves to follow them

 

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!....i swear the rookies just never learn...they Just dont listen when we tell them something....we say it for a dang reason!!!!!!!!!!...lol

 

OUCH!!!...yea i did something similar about a week and a half ago...TKO....crankhandle was slightly bent out of shape and my face was a tad too close, it slipped out of high gear and WHACK!!!!!!!!!...right upside the jaw...omg that hurt....

 

dang thats funny...i never would've gotten myself that dirty...would never volunteer for something like that...

 

I don't know if this would count as a rookie move since I ain't even considered a rookie.....Wannabee rookie maybe?


Buddy of mine came over with his GF(they are a good 15 years older than me.) and both of us are heavy into military vehicles.So he parked out back and open the gate for them to walk in.I go to fire up my army truck from the ground and forget to check the shifter.Fired that puppy up in 2nd high range.Took off.Ran over my 20 ton bottle jack,hit the gate and I managed to calm down enough to pull the kill handle about 5 feet from his Ford Rangers bed broad side.I still catch hell for that stupid move.......

Now for a couple of his.I was following him to a rally one year over in Georgia.Came up on a green light after we jumped off I20 I think.Well,right when he gets 50 feet from the line it turns yellow.Mind you we are in 40 year old army trucks with Air over Hydrolic 6 wheel drums.He slams on his brakes just as I slam down my loud pedal.I managed to locked down and stop about a foot from his back door.Tell ya what.10 old bias ply tires sound wild locked down.

Another on the same trip next day.We leave a buddies house where we slept and head to the rally.Stop in a store to get some fuel.station is still closed so he goes to turn around and back dead center into the station sign knocking every letter off of it.Luckly it didn't knock the sign down.

Same guy different truck.He managed to drive though the zig zags at the local army base where he worked for over a year.One day he had a brain fart and managed to zig when he should have Zagged.Rear tire and bed hit the pole.Hit so hard it blew the tire out...

Same truck and same guy.....we came back to his house from somewhere and he pulled over to the mail box passenger side so I could get the junk mail.Well,grabbed,closed and when he proceeded into the driveway he cut it hard right.......mailbox hit between teh bed and cab.Duhh....Needless to say....we call him Murphy......Cause if it can go wrong it will go wrong with him!

Next one is not a funny one.Down right scary.He borrowed my towbar to go to mississippi gulf coast and pick up a couple trucks.Instead of buying the good pins at tractor supply for 10 bucks he stole some 1" ball detent pins from work to hook the bar to the front bumper.Somewhere on the interstate just past the bama state line one pin totally fell out and the trailing truck swung hard left into the passing lane.He managed to get it back under control and some idiot decided to try and pass him that had seen teh whole thing.Right when the truck made another mad dash for the ditch.Luckly they got it off to the side of the road.Managed to crush the exhaust stack located behind the passenger front tire in the fender nearly flat and beat the fender up pretty good with the lose leg.Luckly it didn't go through the radiator or roll both rigs over.Pretty much ruined the tow bar.Bend the 3" solid bar end and the pivot end was bent and cracked from stretching.Also bent the stolen 1" pin.

Then this one was with the same guy but wasn't our fault.We both bought some vehicles in Little rock Arkansas.He got 4 I got 1.We drove out there to get them.He was driving my truck back with a deuce on a towbar behind him(he took my truck and I took his after it started to overheat and I am more of a gauge hawk!)We make it from little rock through those idiots in memphis and midway across mississippi after dark in the rain.About that time some idiot in a lil red sunfire comes flying around me on a 2 lane road at around 70.Doesn't notice the 2 red lights ahead of me are actually tow lights on another slow ### deuce.About a foot from the rear axle he notices and I see red.....then dark.....then white.......then dark......then red.......and dark again.....The moron jerked the wheel and spun out in front of me.He stopped broad side across both lanes.I had a ford ranger in the bed beating the back of the cab so I just let go of the loud pedal and grabbed 4th to slow down.I was either going over or through cause I wasnt' going to slam on the brake and put myself upside down with a ranger on my head in a ditch.To this day I can still see his face as he grabbed reverse and backed it off into the ditch.Full beard short.Dark brown hair,about 160lbs,5 foot 10 inches give or take.Amazing what you can remember when your scared crapless!
