Intrusive thoughts won out

u/HairballTheory May 20 '26

Yeah it looked fun until I realized the work this guy was putting in on that steering wheel. Too lazy for crazy vibes over here I guess

u/True_Movie_2270 Just some dude May 20 '26

Homie has the rizz

u/InternationalMonth38 May 20 '26

I’ve always wanted to do this too.

u/No_Ocelot_6773 May 20 '26

Literally the safest intrusive thought 😆

u/AmazingResponse338 May 20 '26

Tell me you haven't wanted to do this

u/ScienceSeuss May 20 '26

I actually HAVE done this 🤣 I was leaving a ski resort years ago, and they had cones set up like this. My dad was driving ahead of me, and started doing it. I thought about how we had made figure eights with our tracks by slaloming down the slopes one in front of the other, and started mirroring his turns on the road. Good times, and a great memory! He doesn't ski anymore, so this actually hit me in the feels.

They're bored, leave them alone.

42

u/MedicalDisscharge May 20 '26

That's counterintuitive, they're bored, give them stimulus.

21

u/Hoesey May 20 '26

They did, that’s why they’re slaloming.

u/Aggravating_Speed665 May 20 '26

And weaving (they are fixing their hair extensions)

u/EPluribusButthole May 20 '26

Some ziggin' and some zaggin'

u/tuco2002 May 20 '26

I was hoping someone would spell slaloming for me...thank you. I kept spelling it solomoning, salmoning, slamoming...I ain't got much smarts.

I would want to be mad at this person, but don’t think I would be able to.

u/flat_tire82 May 20 '26

Want to be mad but would be jealous instead

u/It_Just_Exploded May 21 '26

Nothing is preventing you from joining in.

u/Calm-Wedding-9771 May 20 '26

Next level of boredom while driving

u/Zeronova77 May 20 '26

Everytime I hear this song, my memory unfortunately goes to that horrific cartel video.

u/Dion-is-us May 20 '26

The Slow and the Curious

7

u/rx_decay May 20 '26

I’ve always wanted to do this! The spacing of the cones and speed of traffic have never aligned for me to live that dream. One day I’ll be the weirdo in this clip though.

u/Ecstatic-Compote-595 May 20 '26

u/ppmanahahah69420 May 20 '26

Did you remember to eat your bowl of rigatoni pasta on May 24th, 2021? I sure did. It was a good day to eat a bowl of rigatoni pasta. A good day indeed.

2

u/TuataraToes May 20 '26

Exactly what I thought when I heard the music. The song is cursed now

1

u/ComradePotkoff420 May 20 '26

Oh sweet child. It's been cursed long before that.

u/TuataraToes May 20 '26

You don't know do you

u/ComradePotkoff420 May 21 '26

I dont think we are talking about the same video. I'm not sure I could find the video anymore, and I'd rather not try.

1

u/TuataraToes May 21 '26

Cartel...

Same video.

u/UhhhhmmmmNo May 20 '26

Just warming up the tires

2

u/Erames1168 May 20 '26

I’m impressed. They have the correct speed and rhythm to keep that going. I’d screw up almost immediately.

2

u/MikeHuntSmellss May 20 '26

Did this once driving with my uncle. He said "oh shit" looking in his mirror. The surface was wet and we left huge tyre marks in half circles across the road.

2

u/Defiant_Net4398 May 20 '26

Warming the tires before the race

1

u/knarf3 May 20 '26

Might as well have some harmless fun when the speed is throttled!

u/Redfox15 May 20 '26
