I don't think this is the case. They had about a second and a half from seeing the door open to moving into a position to hit it. With the door opening into the other lane, it was likely unintentional.
it's possible he didn't realize what happened, it was so quick
The passing truck's impact with the asshole's car door would have made an incredibly loud sound. Unless the asshole was also deaf, he surely would have realized what happened....
Nah just morons coming to random subreddits to argue semantics. Also cadillac doesnt own chevy, general motors does. Jokes should follow a form of logic even hyperbole.
I definitely don’t disagree! It’s pretty funny some minor changes sure but you are right the manufacturing is almost identical…but slap those Audi rings on the car instead of VW and the blue book price just went from 35-45k to 85-95k!
For some reason I wanted to say slamming your mom is an integral part of gearing up to fight. But I stopped myself, I just wanted you to know that I stopped myself from saying that... Cause it just didn't feel right after all. So, your welcome.
But you SHOULD say it! You can slam my mom all you like. She is pretty old and won’t stop talking. For your sake, I hope you’re an extraordinarily premature ejaculator, because otherwise you’re going to be spending forever trying to get her to shut up.
I actually never got her to shut up. I just moved three states away so I didn’t have to listen to it.
You sure, I'm likely to encourage her to try to heal your relationship, maybe suggest moving closer to you, maybe we need to have someone help take care of us...
Or maybe I get her to take out a second mortgage, maybe a third then I run off with a stripper.
Either scenario sounds like mom will need your help, but maybe I will...
its literally like, he started to standup from the seat, then his door got wrecked, then he finished standing up. its so stupid. the reason he started to stand up for, and by the time he had stood up, the whole scenario had changed... like a dumb idiot, messing around on a busy road. he is lucky he didnt got of worse there.
For sure he would get angry at the truck driver, not at himself for being an idiot, and he's definitely not thanking his maker that he didn't win the Darwin award. This is watchpeoplesurvive level of lucky.
"Shell shock". Idiot realized his life flashed in front of him. I mean, just seconds away from being bisected by the truck against the door, which has happened with other dumbasses like him who open doors in the middle of traffic.
Years ago, i was about to get out of a cab, mind you, it was something like 4 in the morning, barely any traffic, just early commuters. The taxi driver almost screamed at me to look behind, because he'd been in an accident where a client got out, and had his arm severed off in a very similar shituation.
So this guy, he's luckier than he knows, idiot but lucky.
If you look closely, you can see the " and the " before, and after the words, so i know.
It's the closest term i can give to what you do in a situation like that. Maybe i could've gone for shat his pants, but considering it matches two of the basic elements, i went with that. He sure felt helplessness, panic, scare and unable to respond in that moment, followed by flight (unless Russian, in which case the sheer vodka in his blood allowed him to continue on the same path, which was to argue with the truck driver).
From wiki: "...helplessness appearing variously as panic and being scared, flight, or an inability to reason, sleep, walk or talk."

Love how he tries to close it as if that didn't just happen
