I have been called the husband of another individual on more than 1 occasion. Personally, I find it funny. The other girl used to be highly embarrassed of this, but I have convinced her, it's just something funny.

People often do not understand what I say. Either I make a correlation that they don't understand, or use words they don't understand. I've taken this to be normal now.

I use to drive like a demon. I have since then "educated" several friends to do the same. Some friends are angry that I've done this. The friend that drive like demons are thrilled they can get places faster. However, I must admit they drive crazier than I now. I toned it down. In any case, one drive an SUV, the other drives a van. I used to drive a van as well. My friend who drove the van used to complain greatly that the van was slow and embarrassing to drive because it wasn't a car. I stared him in the face and said, "Bullshit. Try following me in your van the next time I drive mine." Let's just say he looked like a retard for complaining about vans. This being when I used to drive on average an excess of 40+kmph over the speed limit (I do 10-20 only these days. Issues with my eyes and my back to shoulder check properly and stuff). He admitted to me a week later he had no idea vans could drive that quickly. A buddy in an M3 said he was embarrassed that he "lost" to me because he wasn't willing to "speed". I did excess of 60+, he did 40. A BMW 3 series once tried to race me in my van. I was going maybe 40+ excess. He was doing 20-30 weaving like an idiot between 2 lanes on the left and I blasted by him in the right lane which was totally empty. I wasn't interested and took the next left. (My god sisters were in the car jeering at him, but we wanted our bubble tea).

I used to tell people, "Here in our city, it almost doesn't matter how fast your car's specs are. As long as you have the guts to push your speed over the speed limit, you'll be one of the fastest. Speeding tickets and accidents are another story." Let's say that in my city, vehicles rolling 140-low 200HP would chase Ferraris, Chargers whatever on some of our higher speed roads. Some of them are friends, some of them are pure strangers. At the beginning of this summer, I chased a Yellow Ferrari on a road going between 30-60 excess. Sometimes the Ferrari in front, sometimes me, sometimes this random Jeep. We all had a good time for the few minutes we were doing that. The Jeep took the earlier exit, I took the next and the Ferrari probably had fun going down that road to wherever he was going.

TL;DR When people, "You drive recklessly!" or "You drive too fast!" I can only really say, "Yeah... kinda..." dunno what to reply.

Getting stopped at a roadblock and the police officer mixing up my asleep friend for some girl I had roofied. Jesus, that was real awkward.

That's why you always want someone awake with you for someone super inebriated. Even if not for that, keeping them from puking in your car works too.

Being the neutral party between two guys vying for the same girl... All 4 of us went to a movie together. I sat between them, they stared daggers at each other. But somehow, BOTH of them trusted that I really wouldn't do anything to/with that girl. Or we'd go clubbing and she'd cling to my arm while they'd stare daggers at each other.

Now that that has been sorted out, I'm still seen as a neutral party.

She's wasn't even drunk! Just tired. Which was the worst part, because she woke up all hazy and stuff cause she'd been asleep for like 2 hours, and I got patted down while she woke up. So many bad news bears.

Being mistook for a drug dealer. I don't even know how, I don't look like it imo. Nor do I look intimidating. Ever.

That happened to me and my friend in Jr High (middle school)

Other party: "Hey, you're brothers! You have the same last name!"
Me: "No we're not! We're in the same grade and our birthday's not the same! What's your birthday?"
Friend: *Response*
Me: "What the..."
Friend: "Why, what's yours?"
Me: "Same as you."

My brother and I though... people are generally surprised we're siblings.
"WHAT?!?! You and he are brothers???"
"Yup."
"Oh... Hmm, actually I sort of see a resemblance." (I generally believe this statement to be bullshit and/or an after the fact pattern association)

I've only been mistaken for the brother of my then girlfriend.

Also, the boyfriend of my sister.
Fuck that one was just funny.

I cannot confirm this... but I once attended a class in Post secondary. The first thing the teacher asked, "Tell us your name and the best prank you ever pulled."

I don't recall the guy's name, but he claimed his hockey team won, so they celebrated and got their team captain smashed. Somehow, the captain's sister's group was also celebrating something. She too was drunk as shit. So they stripped both of them naked and put them into the same bed. How this was executed and what the outcome was never revealed to us.

More like, geez, some people don't have to avoid all the moose running to the roads.
And the way too many cops and cameras after that.

Yeah, the more cops is one of the reasons, but the main reason is that there's a lot more stupid drivers on the roads these days. Lots of money to be made in my city means lots of people who shouldn't be on the roads are now able to afford to do so. We're also starting to get vehicles we used to never have access to. (Damn you USA only stuffs). My friend who still drives like I used to drive told me this, "I drove an EVOX. Worst car to tailgate with. If the turbos kick in, you're shoving a nice car up someone's tail pipe."

He TGs like inches from people in his regular car. The turbo lag easily is more than that.

Left foot braking

Though inches away from the car in front it just stupid in itself. Since human reaction time is one second, the first time the person in front hits the brakes, it's bam.

If it's both, then it's a double whammy.

I also know of two super small and short Asians who drive an original hummer and an H2.

Realizing you're on the same flight as someone you told you were in a different place. Shit.

How are people "obviously siblings"?

Not offended, I was just confused.
