I was helping a friend pick up a dresser and the rear window shattered on my station wagon. We didnt hit it or anything, just went to close it and BAM! Thousands of tiny pieces of glass everywhere. One more proof that the more you try to help people the more you get screwed.

Right you are! Every time I let a car in front of me it slows down and causes me unnecessary inconvienance, I should of just cut them off.

That happens to me with people. Someone behind me is moving fast, so I let them go ahead of me, and they slow down :smack:

I loaded a tree into a Blazer once. I said are you sure you should drive it with the hatch open? Sure it won’t hurt anything. She was back buying a new tree 20 minutes later. The hatch fell off onto the tree and then the road. 😃
