Anual warning for lady friends

jon f mn · Apr 14, 2017

The high heels post below reminded me that it's time for my annual reminder to the padies out there about putting your feet up on the dash. When warm weather rolls around I see a lot more bare legs and pink toes up on the dash as cars pass me by. Now I really like a "well turned ankle" as much as the next man, and those painted toes are especially nice, but putting them on the dash while driving is bad news. In most newer cars the air bags can go off with as little as a 5 mph crash. If your feet are up there what would have been a minor inconvenience can quickly become a bad situation. A person I know was killed because her feet were on the dash and her knees were driven into her chest stopping her heart. I've seen the damage done by this and as much as I appreciate the view, I would rather not see the damage. Please pass this on to all your family.

That, and the girls in short shorts, tank tops and flip-flops on the back of their boyfriends sport bike. Long as they don't crash, you're a nice view. But if they do, you're not gonna have any skin left.

Sorry to be a spoiler, but, like Ron White said - you can't fix stupid!

Pretty harsh word (stupid) for a person that just does something without giving a ton of thought to possible bad consequences. I'm sure we've all done similar things more than once, yourself included. But if one still insists on using the s-word, then there are fixes called communication, education, discussion, etc that can actually have positive results.

Yea and then they flip you the bird.

Crazy Horse · Apr 14, 2017

Yes, that'd be one possible result, and in some cases that kind of a response might depend on how they were approached to fix the issue. I don't think that would always be the case though but if it happened, then I guess a guy has to suck it up and move along.

Not to mention foot prints on the dash. I hate that.

Switchflicker · Apr 14, 2017

While we're on the topic of comfortable feet. When you're in the airplane getting ready for a nice relaxing flight, please don't take your shoes off until safely airborne and the seat belt sign is off. The reason is that the most likely time you will need to evacuate quickly is from the time the engines are started until sometime after lift off. If you have bare feet the evacuation will be painful to say the least when you need to run through rubble or glass or jet fuel. And you will slow the others 'cause you'll be saying 'ouch' with each step you take

Thanks

Boy is this true!
How many times did someone get on my plane wearing flip flops! When TSA went nuts with the virtual strip searches they encouraged people to wear easily removable shoes.

A few years ago I had a friend had borrowed a car and his girlfriend tore the headliner with her heels. I could not understand how this happened. I did not ask and he gave no details

Eagle Beagle · Apr 14, 2017

Details, man, we need details. Don't let this happen to every one!!

BillinCentralMO · Apr 14, 2017

We all need to know this girl's name and should be provided with her photo. What if she comes around one or more of us and tries to high heel our headliner ? How will we know to get away ? You need to diclose this information now before one of us innocents is needlessly victimized ? The safety of all of us and our auto upholstery is at stake here.

Did you ever see something you cant really mention here on the site?In all your miles glancing down from the truck did you ever catch something you cant really describe to us? lol

Moonlite37 · Apr 14, 2017

I did not get to meet her. This event happened at Virginia Beach, VA in 1962, She is probably in a nursing home now and wearing cloth shoes. The fellow who borrowed the car lives in Louisiana and sells logging equipment.

Also if your feet go through the windshield there is no easy way to get the glass out of your feet. You can't use a magnet or xray to find them.

Like the story goes... I was gonna write a book about the things I have seen out the side window....but...NO ONE would ever believe it anyway...!!!!

Yes, and THAT IS the truth....!!

Jewell Roberies we broke up, escorted "Lady Flash" from Kingman Az to St Louis ( and my Co-driver drove her all the way thru Mo.)...

Non other than The Wife of the Man who sang the Song "Mandy"...

Man, was that a NICE NEW RED T-Bird..!!

I had to SLOW down because my co-driver ( in the T-Bird) had "Run out of Numbers" on the Speedo...!!

Gowd did she have expensive Jewelry on her..!!

Lol, I have pics if you send me an email. I think I have 3 different pics of the same woman from near Madison Wi on 3 different occasions, with some nice piercings. Wisconsin is one of the most likely states. And if you get a chance, my wife has an excellent story from when she was with down in Texas.

A simple thing that is overlooked. Good advice.

Donald Lehman · Apr 15, 2017

That makes me cringe, too. Road rash is bad enough when you dump one with long sleeves and long pants (don't ask). Just the thought of seeing a pretty girl all tore up like that makes me shiver.

tomtinker · Apr 15, 2017

But what about those people who think it is cute to be STUPID?
