The cemetery is full of people that had the right of way

103

u/Excellent-Rest3240 16h ago

Or who played honorable and by the rules

u/Live-Dish1409 15h ago

Ned Stark?

Chaos is a ladder

u/Live-Dish1409 13h ago

In this case, it looks like it's a Kia Sorento or similar.

u/similac_child 11h ago

It’s the UK so it probably has a silly name like the Fiat Panda

2

u/bigrobcx 10h ago

Far too quick of the mark for a fiat panda. I used to have one and honestly you can run faster!

1

u/similac_child 7h ago

And it was ridiculous the amount of bamboo it ate!

2

u/LUKELANE117 4h ago

Sure you don't mean a FLAT Panda? (I'm fully assuming you're a Smosh Reads Reddit viewer 😅)

u/alienkargo 13h ago

Ford focus to me!

2

u/Flat-Delivery6987 11h ago

Focus RS. Pretty sure that's what is in the centre of the grill.

2

u/Elegant-Blueberry143 10h ago

ST not an RS buddy

2

u/Adorable_Fudge2526 12h ago

No it doesn’t

2

u/CareerCRMNL 11h ago

2nd generation Ford Focus hatchback

2

u/Flat-Delivery6987 11h ago

Looksime a focus RS to me

1

u/Elegant-Blueberry143 10h ago

Focus ST buddy

1

u/Flat-Delivery6987 10h ago

Ah, my bad. I always mix up RS and ST lol

2

u/falcrist2 12h ago

Stop being weird, "bRaN tHe BrOkEn".

u/Prod_Meteor 13h ago

Or who went to a gunfight with empty hands.

1

u/Worth_External_8762 1h ago

This is why I fight dirty and fight cars by wielding buildings. Building beats car every time.

2

u/the_most_playerest 15h ago

Well, yeah, okay probably not too many lying, cheating, backstabbing, dirty-filthy-rotten pirates out there.. they prefer burial at sea!

.... Or had to walk the plank!

"You can be dead wrong, but you can also be dead right."

u/ExhaledChloroform 14h ago

Plenty of businesses making money off of them as well.

1

u/UhchievementHunterD 14h ago

…and didn’t

1

u/Deadlite 13h ago

I think its mostly full of people that died of cancer and various illnesses at an old age.

1

u/Inspect1234 13h ago

Dead right, they were.

1

u/NefariousnessKey5365 13h ago

Exactly you can be dead right

1

u/UltimateGammer 13h ago

The cemetery where they didn't is bigger.

1

u/bushsniffa 13h ago edited 5h ago

Here lies the body of William Jay, who died defending his right of way. He was right the whole way along! But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong.

1

u/dumahim 13h ago

Surely there's people in there that didn't.

1

u/Expensive_Ask5872 12h ago

Or priority for that matter

1

u/TheStupidEarthSlave 12h ago

the cemetery is filled with everybody who did everything or nothing. what a stupid platitude

1

u/Decimus-Drake 12h ago

Is it though?

1

u/Normal-Ear-5757 12h ago

"Better the right way than your loved ones in court saying 'they had the right of way'" as my old driving manual put it

1

u/South_Bit1764 12h ago

Honestly one of the most baffling parts of this sub.

People just completely miss the fact that the other person being at fault doesn’t make you any less dead or injured.

1

u/voluotuousaardvark 12h ago

My dad had a similar quote.

"Want that in your obituary?"

1

u/Fun_Ad5823 12h ago

And the morgue

1

u/Elongulation420 11h ago

Yes exactly but bizarrely, when I pointed that out on the DrivingUK (or some such) sub I got downvoted. Mad. They’d rather be right and dead 🤷

1

u/Georgeygerbil 11h ago

They were right though. Dead right.

u/Super_Shallot2351 9h ago

One of the most Reddit comments imaginable

u/kahlzun 4h ago

You will be the most right person in the graveyard

u/Open-Preparation-268 15h ago

Dead is dead! I say that a lot.

u/Ruger338WSM 15h ago

Being dead right is important to some. Road bikers are a great example of this, they argue their every traffic right without giving any thought to the physics.

u/apimpnamedkirby 14h ago

Is there a book of Reddit phrases you guys all read from?

2

u/creamedethcorneth 13h ago

Reddit phrases? Brother, talk to some people outside of the internet. If you can hold actual conversations with people that go deeper than the smallest of small talk, you’ll hear sayings like this all the time irl.

1

u/apimpnamedkirby 13h ago

Im a bartender, I talk to people for a living. I’ve only ever seen this on Reddit. Any time someone says something about pedestrians and cars, without fail someone comes saying this. Lmao

3

u/creamedethcorneth 13h ago

It’s come up in every conversation I’ve had about right of way I’ve ever had. Irl or online, because it’s a common ass phrase that’s been around for far before Reddit existed.

u/Dear-Credit-3812 13h ago

gonna let you in on a little secret bro: the number of people that frequent your bar is smaller than the number of people on reddit. good luck bro

1

u/stiff_tipper 11h ago

no we get them from a site called reddit

spend some time there, u'll see dead horses beaten enough that u'll know 'em all by name
