Sometimes people don't seem to understand that driving is a cooperative event. That means risky maneuvers like strapping a literal ton of garbage to the roof of your car or dangling a dryer out the back while pushing 70 down the freeway isn't exactly the best way to inspire confidence in the drivers around you. We get to see enough unsafe maneuvers at work, it just so happens people are compelled to do dumb crap on their commute too.

"Reduce, reuse, recycle" is a slogan that many of us have come to know over the years as we have become more environmentally aware. If we show love to the Earth, surely it will show love right back at us. While we love the environment just as much as the next person, there are people out there that take it too far, such as the girlfriend featured in this Reddit "Am I The A**hole?" thread. The original poster was giving his friend and his girlfriend a ride, and the girlfriend discovered that he had plastic straws. She accused him of not caring about the environment and threw the straws out the car window without asking him. In retaliation, he threw her out of the car. Who do you think is the a**hole in this situation? Let us know in the comments. 

Man, this step dad sounds like a real nasty piece of work. What kind of guy tricks his kid out of a perfectly fine laptop? Fortunately, the kid kept his wits about him, and managed to enact a true pro revenge in response. Just picturing the way that that step dad's jaw must've hit the ground when he saw the kid take that "broken" car for a joy ride around the block, is enough to make the heart swell in deep appreciation. It's also a beautiful car! 

Just when we thought this whole story's arc was going to be soaked in nothing but welcomed positivity, then boom, the customer just has to go and prove himself to be a complete jerk. Fortunately, the employee that ended up having to field all of his dumb behavior had the wherewithal and the professional means to put him in his place, by throwing his precious car into sweet limbo. 

You see it over and over again, someone parks like a jackass, then finds that someone can be a jackass right back to them. This guy who wasted an illegally parked Karen's time is another good example. People will never learn when it comes to this stuff, which is why people keep having to step in.

There's nothing we love more than to see an immoral car dealership manager get his rightful comeuppance after trying to take down a customer with a predatory car loan. Suffice to say, our mohawk'ed customer wasn't playing any games. This is why it's of the utmost importance to read the fine print before going ahead and signing anything. Check out some more of the pettiest petty revenge cases over here. 

Taking a cab is a pretty standard experience in life. If you need to get somewhere quick, or you just wanna feel more boujee instead of taking public transit that day, you'll hop into a cab and be on your merry way. The concept of getting into a car with a random stranger is pretty weird, yet we've accepted it as a society because it's a super simple way to get around, especially with ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft. Some are super awkward - maybe not as awkward as your gyno appointment, but still awkward nonetheless. On the other hand, some people really hit it off with their drivers - as long as they don't puke in their cars after a night of drunk texting their exes. The people of Twitter have had their fair share of funny Uber/Lyft experiences, and we've documented the best ones below. 

Well, we've got a new candidate for Time's person of the year. Or at least the badassof the year. We just don't know their identity. 

In a move that can be described as "sick," "dope," and "really f*cking cool," an impatient driver in Daytona Beach, Florida, decided to take a risk and drive over a rising drawbridge instead of waiting with all the sheep who would prefer to abide by the law. The spectacle was caught on camera, and seriously looks like something out of an action movie.

While we were hoping this daredevil would come out of this scot-free, the stunt was not well-received by police, who believe they've identified our new hero. Though this may be the most talked about instance of Evel Knievel-ry, it seems like jumping over drawbridges is a "Florida Man" trait. A motorcyclist made the dramatic leap last month, and we've even seen footage of a dude running over a bridge with JUST HIS FEET. It's true that these shows of cojones are dangerous and sometimes deadly, so while we're celebrating this instance of success, we must urge you not to try this yourself. Thanks to the videos below, you can enjoy the thrill (and some entertaining reactions) from home.
