    A crack head bent at the waist, her shorts were down and her ass was prolapsing in and out. One of the most horrid things I’ve ever seen.

    An actual tumbleweed ran into the car I was driving. Couldn’t really dodge as there was a car in the other lane but it actually wasn’t too bad.

    I was driving, my friend was in the passenger seat. It was night, and to my left the terrain was kind of generally sloping downward and away - so a fair view if there was anything to see, but it was night and not a populous location so nothing to see. Except, what must have been a low - and I mean low - meteor flew into the atmosphere in the same direction we were driving (on my left), lighting up the tops of the trees as it flew by in a giant fireball and it quickly became a smaller point of light and fizzled away. The streak in the sky must have lasted a good 2 full seconds and we were dumbstruck looking at each other after like Did that just really happen? .

    One of the coolest things I’ve seen to date.

    I’ve been in Florida where some old dude was just driving down the street right on his rim like it was normal.

    The remains of two people all over the interior of their convertible. It happened literally seconds ahead of me and I had to pass within a foot of it on the driver’s side.

    The image hasn’t left my mind in over 20 years.

    A car on fire on an entrance ramp. Thought it was a wildfire at first until I got closer and was weirdly relieved when I saw what it was.

    About half the cab of a big rig hanging over the lane I was driving in.

    880 North in California, early 2000’s around 2AM. South of Oakland driving in the fast lane, it was foggy and I was going a bit to fast. Then I started noticing a whole bunch of weird stuff all at once; 20+ cars pulled over on the shoulder with a cop car in front of them, small rocks? all over the road that rapidly became chunks of concrete a few inches in on a side, a whole ass sideways car — at this point I’m slowing and pulling out of the fast lane, as I finish the lane change I look back ahead just in time to see the cab of the big rig dangling over the fast lane from the other side of the freeway. It just appears out of the fog, I’m not sure my car would have cleared it if I had still been in the left lane. It had punched right through the concrete median (the rocks all over the freeway were debris from the collision). The southbound side of 880 is higher there, so it was at least 4-6 feet above the ground on my side.

    Bonus: A different big rig with a 25 foot aluminum ladder stuck on one of the trailers feet. It was shooting a roster tail of white sparks another 15 feet, skipping around and making quite a bit of noise. Got a good look as I passed and it had clearly been hooked for a while, it was ground down a few inches where it was making contact.

    Saw a big transport truck zip by the opposite way on fire. Driver didn’t seem bothered. Found out later on the news he literally didn’t know he was on fire until he started getting honked at and saw all the smoke.

    i was followed by what i assume was a police helicopter coming out of las vegas. it was the middle of the night, i was driving straight from ca to il in a very shitty 70s toyota. they had their giant spotlight on me but i never stopped, and no squad made any attempt to contact me. eventually they just peeled away and disappeared.

    Years ago my friend and I were driving in NE Mississippi at about 2 am to visit another friend. Out of nowhere this kid - maybe 12, but doubtful if that - with no shirt on just sprinted across the road.

    We both looked at each other and said, “Did you see that?”

    We both had. No idea why he was there at that time but I hope he was okay.

    One time I got stuck behind a huge semi-truck full of dead cows for 45 minutes. It smelled atrocious. The stench was so strong that it gave me a headache and changed my mood. The smell of death and decay is quite overwhelming when it is that powerful.
