At my old job, one of the mechanics call me over to look at a dead rat wedged between the brake rotor and caliper on a Odyssey. Who needs Orkin when you have Honda...

I used to work for the local transit authority. In a discussion about the stress of driving a bus, one driver reported preparing to leave a stop downtown and at the last split second just happened to look in the right side mirror before doing so. At that moment a pedestrian was diving under the bus to retrieve something just in front of the rear wheels.
If that had been me, I don't believe I would have ever been able to drive a bus again.

Jeez. What luck he checked his mirror. I would have jumped out and asked them what was so important they had to risk getting run over for.

I ran over a cat once in my truck. I knew I had hit something, so I pulled over at the next parking lot and started looking around. Got to the passenger rear quarter panel and saw blood on my tire, so I knew I hit something but I couldn't find any evidence of a body when I scanned the road. So I went inside a store (which is where I was heading in the first place) and came back out. That's when I noticed "parts" were dropping out of the wheel well. Needless to say, the cat (or most of him) was still stuck in the top of the wheel well and I had to scrape the remains free after I got home.
My dad told me the only thing that happens to a dead cat is it just gets flatter, but I had to disagree with him on this one.

OK OK OK. I regret saying what I did. Can we move on please.
It is inappropriate to add the laughing face to a post like that.
Although my name appears in the title of this thread, and I initially approved, I have to say:
and therefore this thread needs to die.

Oh, AcuraTech, don't begrudge the membership the throwing of rotten veggies at someone placed in the community pillory.
You're just the target of the day. It's really a form of public service that you're performing. Soaking up the group's displaced anxiety is such a selfless act ..even if you didn't volunteer for it.
