Sometimes it's a good reminder to see how badly some other people are doing. It puts things in perspective.

Life will throw a lot at you, from embarrassing inconveniences to exploded trucks of medical waste. Sometimes it's good to remember that we all share these hurdles and remind ourselves that we all have our own different sets of challenges. Other times it's fun to laugh at how ridiculously bad things can get. And boy, do things go bad a lot.

These moments of instant CAR-ma are brought to you by drivers who let their emotionally-charged impulses take the wheel. Things like those crazy yellow and white solid or dotted lines are there for an even crazier thing, like providing a little structure to the chaos of the road. When you choose to cross the line (literally) and jeopardize another driver's safety, the universe has an uncanny knack for intervening with flashing red and blue lights. 

The world is rife with people who will shamelessly ask for free crap. Even when something is free, it's not good enough.

When this man set out to help a stranger in need sometime around midnight, with changing his tire, he did NOT anticipate the fallout of impulsive street justice. Therein lies the biggest risk with trying to do the "right" occasionally brutal thing outside the law: you don't know the whole story, and you're not taking the time to learn it. Instead, you're acting on volatile impulses, and subverting critical thinking for instant emotional justice. In this case, things spiraled out of control quickly. We hope the guy's okay! 

It's hard to tell if these people are joking. If they aren't, we have a very serious problem.

Ol' Musky is back at it again with news of a flying car (or aptly named, Roadster), being a thing by 2022. Elon Musk shocking Twitter with his status quo-shattering capacity for bringing the world the cool sh*t we thought was reserved for the movies, is nothing new. In this case, we need only ask ourselves, what will he do next to leave us speechless? 

You'd think that just because someone's over the age of 35, they'd have a healthy amount of humility and shame. If you thought that, you would be wrong. You would be very, very wrong. We've got grown-ups head-butting walls for candy, and self-respecting adults crying over parking spots. Smh.
