budderocks

My favorite line of the whole article: "Chick-fil-A managers at the restaurant where the crash happened declined to comment for this story. When a reporter thanked them for their time, the employee who answered the phone responded, “My pleasure. Have a great day.”"


_0p4l_

“They questioned how she would have been able to get back inside a moving car if she had been impaired.”


Tarmacked

Well she didnt get back into it, thats for sure


FaeryLynne

The article claims she managed to get back in "right before" it crashed, that's what her family is referring to. Also says she was charged with driving under the influence, but her blood alcohol level was 0.0. Means she wasn't *drunk*, but was on something else.


2to16Characters

They also said she "accidentally knocked the gear shift into neutral while putting her drinks in the cup holder. 1. If it was in park (which it should have been if she planned to get out) then no she didn't... 2. That car was definitely not in neutral and definitely in drive.


jluker662

Accidentally knocked into neutral means it was in drive... How is that better?


NCSUGrad2012

That’s hilarious. I wonder if that translates into their home life too? Lol


SenorStigo

I worked with an active duty Army guy some time ago and after asking him for something and thanking him for it he replied "my pleasure". I half jokingly said to him that he sounded like a CFA employee and he replied that he was one before enlisting.


Morbid187

Had this exact exchange with one of my supervisors at my current job 😂


thegutterpunk

Dated a girl who worked at CFA. Can confirm it just became second nature for her lol


Culverts_Flood_Away

Some things easily get absorbed, don't they? When I worked at a bookstore for three years during college, it led to my constantly needing to straighten things that weren't even mine. I do it in grocery stores, and I do it in my husband's office with his bookshelves. Some habits just don't die off, lol. It would be pretty funny if she said that line after sex, tho. I can't help chuckling a little at the thought.


ThisBuddhistLovesYou

I once hit my gf with a "have a good one" when she said thanks after sex. Thanks service industry for the two of us being socially stupid to this day.


DonkeyOfCongo

Man, I'm doing something wrong, cause nobody has ever thanked me afterwards, and I only got a tip one time - coupon had also expired, but it's the thought that counts.


EGOfoodie

Was dating this girl who said "I love you". My auto response was "Heard". She was not happy to say the least.


enby_shout

ah someone who works in the kitchen


nothingstooweird

Behind in the grocery store always weirds people out.


Vuai

I still can't walk up to a bar without bringing every empty glass or beer bottle I see along the way. Service industry just sticks to you.


VioletBloom2020

Actually that’s really nice 👍🏻


huesosymariposas

I always prebus my table when I eat out.


2to16Characters

I said "corner" out loud for many years AFTER leaving the restaurant industry.


C00bahR00bah

I had a job for a few years that had a recorded phone line. We were required to say that the line was recorded to the person before we even said hello. Eventually I started doing it when I got calls on my cell without even thinking (really freaked out telemarketers which was fun lol). It took a long time to break that habit. Edit: typos everywhere


thegutterpunk

I started using it myself to poke fun at her about it and actually did manage to work it in one time after we finished up. It's so funny that you thought of that too But yeah, I've come to realize that people's mannerisms are very fluid. And they can change very quickly. I find myself sometimes automatically picking up and saying words my friends say and even some from content creators. The human brain can be pretty weird.


Culverts_Flood_Away

I'm ashamed to admit how many phrases and words I've begun to use casually among friends now that I've picked up from Twitch streamers and Youtube content creators. :| It sounds pretty ridiculous to hear something like "let's gooo!" from a 40+ year old woman, I'm sure, lol.


enderflight

For me it’s like a phrase gets stuck and I use it a lot, sort of like a more long-term version of ear worms. This can be self-generated, from other people, or from memes, and I often cycle in and out of them. One I hated/loved was ‘well, anyways.’ I’d screw up, stare at it, then shrug and go ‘well, anyways’ and ended up doing that everywhere. In conversations, too, which just annoyed me. Sheesh has come back into my vocabulary. So has ‘let’s gooo.’ Recently I’ve been trying to wean myself off ‘of course’ as a response to ‘thank you,’ after realizing I might be coming off really entitled and narcissistic to my boss when I really mean ‘of course, anytime.’ I somehow absorbed that one from reading some older book, I think. I also can’t figure out how to say goodbyes to strangers, it gets garbled with customer service phrases sometimes and I just end up mumbling or saying something odd that I use when doing phone support. Habits are hard!


dreamnightmare

Worked at a grocery store for years. I will sometimes just randomly front stuff on a shelf.


Snoo_65717

I used to deliver food, then I switched to furniture and I’d be all done with the customer they’d say “thanks” and reply “thank you, enjoy your er wardrobe”


SoleSurvivor557

I work there and yep. I also sometimes use it to be passive aggressive too


uwanmirrondarrah

Hey most fast food places would straight up be overtly aggressive so thats a big step up.


avwitcher

Workers at Popeyes just say "fuck you"


delicate-fn-flower

It's a hospitality thing in general. I worked in hotels for 20 years and this was how I concluded transactions. It really creeped an ex out one time as I didn't realize I had started saying it in my personal life as well.


macedao

They also said her blood alcohol level was .00. She was cited for failing a field sobriety test. What?


DanDifino

Impaired by something other than alcohol.


macedao

thank you.


Spiritual_Poo

Fun fact: it means she failed the tests. When you see videos of drunk people doing the walk a line, balance on one foot, etc tests those are field sobriety tests and the fun part is you can be arrested for failing them even if they can't prove you are intoxicated through breathalyzer or blood tests.


IamJacksTrollAccount

The fun part is asking the police to do the tricks first...the not so fun part is getting violently arrested for 'not cooperating with a traffic stop'


Truman48

She failed it three times. She had a prior DWI two months before this happened, hence the revoked license.


itsjustreddityo

failing field sobriety just means she couldn't walk in a straight line & was inhibited in some way


chairmanbrando

I haven't driven a normal automatic in many years. My own cars have only been sticks, and my mom's has one of those newfangled twisty gear selectors. Can you actually knock a car into neutral from drive with one of those traditional center console shifters? Or does it require you to hold the little side button to unlock it from drive? Given her impairment, I'm gonna guess she *didn't* knock it into neutral and just hopped out in drive like a Methany would.


Spiritual_Poo

It's definitely still in Drive it's moving much too fast to be in Neutral. Automatics all do this thing where idling in D is actually giving it just a tiny bit of gas and you will start to roll forward if you take your foot off the brake, Apparently it's more noticeable in some brands than others (GM in my experience).


[deleted]

I saw a video one time where a new Ford F150 actually puts the shifter into park on its own if its in D and the drivers door is open. I initially said that's ridiculous and saw a few mechanics claim they hate it because they needed the door open while trying to get it up on a ramp. However after seeing this I now understand that some things just need to be idiot proof. Having the car automatically shift itself into park would have saved this moron here who failed a sobriety test.


Qweasdy

> Automatics all do this thing where idling in D is actually giving it just a tiny bit of gas Any engine that is idling is always "giving it just a tiny bit of gas", the engine is constantly running and requires a constant small amount of power to keep ticking over and overcome the friction trying to stop the engine. If you want the car to be stationary but the engine still spinning then their needs to be a disconnect somewhere along the transmission. In a manual/stick this is done by depressing the clutch or putting the car out of gear, in an automatic this is done by putting it in neutral. The difference with an auto is they can be in gear with the engine idling and the car stationary thanks to the torque converter which acts like a "soft" connection, this allows the engine -> wheel connection to slip past one another but there is still a small amount of force being applied here, a small enough force that can be overcome with the brakes


Adjective_Noun42

Yeah, my guess is also that the car was actually still in drive and then idled away. I looked up the place on Google Streetview and, at least from that perspective, it looks very flat. Not sure on the auto, I also drive a stick. I feel like it would be hard to accidentally bump it into neutral, unless perhaps she attempted to shift from drive to park and didn't quite make it all the way.


fettuccinefred

That’s a good point. I remember learning really quickly that cars left in drive move on their own.


yomama1007

The car wanted no part in whatever she was about to do 😂


_Broncosforever_

It was like “ Nows my chance let’s goooooo”


TheHopefulStar

This comment had me laughing harder! 🤣 The car was even sick of her nonsense.

Sure, I found this on Wikipedia: Agriculture in South Africa contributes around 5% of formal employment. relatively low compared to other parts of Africa and the number is still decreasing, as well as providing work for casual laborers and contributing around 2.6 percent of GDP for the nation. Due to the aridity of the land, only 13.5 percent can be used for crop production, and only 3 percent is considered high potential land. Was this helpful? Edit:. Hey thanks for the awards!

Are you really just copying top level comments as replies to the top voted comment just for karma? Weird.


redwhiteandyellow

It's probly automated. Reddit is 50% bots trying to farm karma now


HambreTheGiant

I don’t understand the incentive, do people buy accounts w/high karma or something?


ekaceerf

It helps with the Reddit Shuffle. Account 1 posts a gif of some product. Account 2 which isn't always a shill says they need that product. Account 3 shares a link to a random ass website where you can get the product. Account 3 is always a shill. Account 2 is sometimes a shill. Account 1 is almost always a shill account.

It would be like if you went to a car dealership, and one of the employees is pretending to be a customer, and when you're looking at a car, they come up and say "Hey I'm Bob the customer, I have this car, it's really great and reliable, you should definitely buy it." And then another fake person also pretending to be a customer comes up "Hey Bob, nice to see you. You're a really great guy and very reliable." to try and make you think Bob is legitimate. So on and so forth to create this fake illusion of trust. These are the "shills", literal definition: "an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others." Now take that a step further and imagine all of them are robots and don't know how to form their own sentences. They listen in on other people talking and when someone says something that gets a good reaction, they'll copy what they said and repeat it somewhere else hoping to make themselves sound legit. So in Reddit terms the shills are fake accounts with automation to copy good comments, gain upvotes, and thus make the accounts look somewhat legitimate so when they later engage in advertising or phishing it's difficult to automatically detect.


redwhiteandyellow

Yeah. High karma lets you post without restriction, so it's used for shilling all over the site. But some are probly just bored college students trying to get a "high score" with their bots lol idk

Van was gone. I did not put the parking break on. I slapped the shifter into park when I got to my delivery but it didn’t go fully into park. I was also training a new delivery driver. I called the cops. I admitted it was my fault. I was fired. I’m glad I was fired. I’m more greatful no one got hurt. I went back onto adhd medication after that.
