    Mind Blowing Guy leapt in front of my car!

    My boyfriend and I were driving home from dinner yesterday around midnight, going about 60mph on the Interstate. It was pretty deserted and there's no lights around, so all we could see was a bit ahead of us from our own headlights cutting through the fog. So we're just driving, chilling, my guy's holding my hand etc...normal night.

    Within the space of about 100th of a second (literally), I just saw this figure appear inches away from the windscreen and we swerved off onto the shoulder and up the grass, before getting back onto the road. I screamed and my bf was cussing up a storm, and when we look in the rear view mirror, there's the dude is walking into oncoming traffic in between lanes, and another car swerved lanes to miss him too.

    I swear, I about died of shock!!! It was like in horror movies, y'know how the couple is driving then suddenly out of nowhere a girl appears in her nightgown, etc?! There was just an empty road, then I saw this red tshirt rush in front of the windscreen as we swerved. If it were me driving, I KNOW I would've hit him, my driving reflexes are way slower than my bf's. He's lucky, he would've gone right over the top of the car because I know I couldn't have swerved in time.

    Insane!!!

    Did you check the news. It sounds like you had the misfortune of coming across some one that was trying to commit suicide. Kudos to you for you driving skills

    Glad that you both are okay. The last time I swerved driving that fast I lost control of my car, I know not good. I wonder if he needed help or something, was he drunk, or, literally, wanted to die. Wierd.

    Wow, that's horrible! Honestly, I feel that's a really selfish way of going about it especially since he could have gotten so many other people killed in the process!

    Me too, trying to avoid a racoon bigger than my dog (didn't crash thank god).

    Even reading the post creeped me out.

    OMG I was actually picturing a horror movie as I read that. Soooo scary and I agree... pretty selfish if it was a suicide attempt because if you would have hit him that woulda fucked you and your bf up a lot too. Nightmare central for a while. I'm glad you guys managed to avoid him.
    Soooo scary!

    Couple of other possibilities: sleep-walking or disoriented/altzheimers.

    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
