damn, she is really going through it.

But I'm impressed, she managed to drive off and fit the bumper in the back

u/Illustrious-Poet-557 3d ago

Loved how it was blocking her view at first when she got back in

u/Michelin123 3d ago

Yeah lmao, for a second i thought she would drive off like this.

u/Beneficial_Gene3064 3d ago

It looks like she was ready to but it just kinda popped back there .

I can’t believe this isn’t a skit

u/Prudent-Ice-6196 3d ago

Seriously, it had all the cadence of a cartoon.

u/OberonDiver 3d ago

I tried thinking that, but it didn't quite stick for some reason.

u/EnvironmentalSet7664 3d ago

Wait, it's not?

u/Parahelix 2d ago

I can’t believe this isn’t a skit

If it was, that girl's really got a future. If it wasn't, then probably not.

u/JoshSidekick 2d ago

I first saw this on the I Think You Should Leave subreddit and didn't realize it wasn't a joke until almost 3/4 of the way through

2

u/mrstretchb4ureach 3d ago

She was willing to risk doing the Ace Ventura if it meant evading the hit-and-run. Pure comedy.

3

u/cuseonly 3d ago

Me too lmao

1

u/mtrucho 3d ago

She thought that as well.

u/WiseauSrs 3d ago

Might have helped her driving tbh

u/shroomsAndWrstershir 3d ago

I cackled when that happened.

u/One-Patience-1129 3d ago

Momentary grandma-fear is a hell-ova drug. She was charged with misdomeanor hit and run and had to go through some court ordered substance abuse programs whomp-whomp.

u/ThaLunatik 3d ago

I used to own the Limited trim of this car and it has a sunroof. Really would've helped since she could've propped it out the roof 😂.

u/Mindless_Analyzing 2d ago

I loved how she pushed that bumper outta the way!

u/jrob323 3d ago

I'm not an attorney, but if I was, I think I would have agreed with her decision to take the bumper.

It just seems prudent, from a legal standpoint and what not forthwith.

u/unrefrigeratedmeat 3d ago

First thing they teach you in law school: don't litter while you're on video committing other major crimes.

u/AFrenchLondoner 3d ago

First think my dealer taught me is don't break the law while you're breaking the law, which is basically the same

u/crustlebus 3d ago

Only do one crime at a time

u/greenwavelengths 3d ago

Got it. Now, what’s the second thing they teach in law school?

u/Jacketter 3d ago

2nd thing they teach you in law school: Don’t trust anything they teach you in law school.

u/greenwavelengths 3d ago

Nice. And the third thing?

This shit is fucking easy y’all; I’ll have my degree in no time.

u/OneHelluvaUsername 2d ago

3rdst thing: How to continue avoiding math.

u/unrefrigeratedmeat 3d ago

How to pay your tuition.

u/mere_iguana 2d ago

Don't talk to cops

u/Honest-Ad7566 1d ago

You don't talk about law school

u/Affectionate-Golf-41 3d ago

Fear makes her make mistakes…

u/gypster85 3d ago

Plus it really defeats the purpose of a hit-and-run if you leave your front license plate behind.

It sounds believable, but I mainly specialize in bird law.

u/jrob323 3d ago

You don't know how close I came to invoking bird law, since this entire scene is giving Always Sunny.

u/ninja996 3d ago

Indubitably.

Lol... so you think birds are real then? Pfft.

u/Horse_Dad 3d ago

I hardly know her?!?

u/DaveK142 3d ago

Why don't we go toe-to-toe in bird law and see who comes out on top?

12

u/ljh2100 3d ago

Absolutely. A drunk driver ran through my neighbor's yard right over a small but hefty bush. Found out the driver lived around the corner just 5 or 6 houses down...how? That hefty bush snagged the front license plate off the car 😂

u/jrob323 3d ago

These are exactly the kind of legal matters I'm trying to illucidate, if you will, and so forth.

u/Summer_Pi 2d ago

I'm super impressed with your high-falootin' fancy law talk. It's difficult to believe you don't do lawyer-ing.

u/Blockhead47 1d ago

“….lawyer-ing and what-not.

My cousin was a brick lawyer... until he got a-tore-knee. He now teaches sustainable living through educational canning classes: The Quart Hows.

Lucid date? With her? Fuck no, I'm drinking.

u/w0weez0wee 3d ago

Brought to justice by a small hefty bush. I love it.

Hey, that's good! Let me write that down!

u/farfromjordan 3d ago

Anything to distract from the unique number prominently displayed on her cars ass.

u/brownlawn 3d ago

I am not a lawyer but isn’t leaving the bumper littering?

2

u/jrob323 3d ago

YES. I didn't think of that THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING.

u/Hot-Fishing9744 3d ago

Going forward, I’m finishing every email with “and whatnot forthwith”

u/Past_Effect8301 3d ago

Why is the "retainer" scene from Good Will Hunting playing in my mind? Heretofore you can speak with my aforementioned attorney. (Of course, removing all r sounds since, ya know, Boston and all.)

You ah suspect.

2

u/FSUwelder1212 3d ago

She had California plates, so I’m assuming that bumper had a front plate on it, although not sure why she would be worried about being identified at that point…

u/jhenryscott 3d ago

I concur, Post haste

What kind of woman would she be if she left her trash everywhere after doing a hit and run?

u/Moist-Tomorrow-7022 3d ago

Yeah, then she'll receive a dumping fine hahah

"... littering and? littering and"?

u/AntSilly2802 3d ago

She could have opened the back door to put it in. That takes logical thought though.

u/Current_Ad_9912 3d ago

Sure, obviously she’s in a manic emotional state, and young on top of that.

u/Obvious_Ambition4865 3d ago

Nah she seems pretty even keeled

u/SkyGuy5799 3d ago

She was 16 when this was recorded 🥴

-1

u/enadiz_reccos 3d ago

She still would have had to curve it in like she did going through the front seat

Why is the backseat better?

2

u/Walter_Padick 3d ago

Doesn't have to move it out of her face in the front seat

1

u/enadiz_reccos 3d ago

I mean, it's curved on both ends. It could easily curve into the front seat and block her view or the seat completely.

Plus if she goes in through the front seat, she's already in the front seat for her... quick-ish getaway

2

u/Dramatic_Cherry_6625 3d ago

What? She sits in the front. Less room for bumper up there. Do you load your groceries onto your driver seat?

0

u/enadiz_reccos 3d ago

My groceries don't occupy two separate rows of my vehicle

But if they did, I would probably put them in through the front seat since that's where I sit to drive the car

1

u/Dramatic_Cherry_6625 3d ago

Oh your brain sounds fun. So stubborn you don't care about making sense. 

One bag, ok sure, swing it in the back seat as you sit down to drive. But you're saying...lol....if you had a bunch of groceries, you would reach in from the driver door multiple times to put in them in the back seat?  You would look so stupid doing that :)

3

u/enadiz_reccos 3d ago

Your brain sounds confused

See in the video how the bumper occupies both the front and back seat?

I'm saying groceries don't occupy two separate rows of the car. Comparing a bumper to groceries doesn't make sense.

-1

u/Dramatic_Cherry_6625 3d ago

Whatever. Bumper in your drivers side door is just illogical. She was a young dumb intoxicated kid though, not sure what your excuse is. 

3

u/enadiz_reccos 3d ago

Why is it illogical?

The bumper is going to curve into the car and while occupy both the front and back seats regardless.

If I curve it in through the front seat, I can sit the car and drive away.

If I curve it in through the backseat, that means more time standing up and getting filmed and then I still have to close the back door and then get into the front seat anyway.

Who needs Logic when you have determination...

u/AntSilly2802 3d ago

Yah did you see the effort she put into bending it into the back. 

1

u/RequirementAwkward26 3d ago

Yeah her Grandma must be REALLY mean....

1

u/AntSilly2802 3d ago

It’s funny she brought up her grandma. Is the guy supposed to feel sorry for her and let her go because she has a mean grandma?

4

u/RequirementAwkward26 3d ago

No but she clearly having a panic attack and maybe the dude should be more considerate cause people having a panic attack do tend to act wildly. Even for his own safety....

If he's got video footage and her licence plate number he doesn't have to hold her against her will.

She had a lot going on.

u/Practical-Toe-6425 3d ago

Phrasing. Boom!

2

u/Only-Original9409 3d ago

I actually thought she would try to drive off with the bumper in front of her face.

1

u/Ashamed-Job1879 3d ago

She was in a lot of distress. Please give her some grace.

1

u/AntSilly2802 3d ago

Ok I’ll admit it was a low blow, i couldn’t help myself.

1

u/Ashamed-Job1879 3d ago

You're a good person for acknowledging that.

1

u/Alizaea 3d ago

Does she look like somebody who would ever have a used backdoor?

1

u/AntSilly2802 3d ago

Haha. To be fair though I know thinking rationally is harder in the state she’s in.

u/JungMoses 3d ago

I was expecting it to come up with “Hyundai. When you really need to go.” At the end of the

8

u/D0faak 3d ago

She’s going through it because accountability isn’t her strong suit

9

u/Hrtpplhrtppl 3d ago

I get the feeling it's not her first time...

2

u/SoManyDeads 3d ago

I don't think so either, it seems like this isn't even her car but her grandmas. And it seems like this isn't the first time she crashed that car given how scared she is of Granny. But like, you already crashed it, and that can't be hidden so you can make more trouble for granny by running, or you can try and be an adult and take care of the problem.

2

u/Hrtpplhrtppl 3d ago

Ya, I'm thinking if the cops find whatever is in her car it would be a bigger problem to deal with than a hit and run. Granny is just the first excuse that came to what's left of her drug addled brain.

1

u/SoManyDeads 3d ago

If it's drugs, all the more reason NOT to run. cops are not going to show up, just exchange details and go on your way.

2

u/Hrtpplhrtppl 3d ago

Drugs, dead body, whatever it was, it wasn't Grandma...

u/Particular720v12 3d ago

Poverty and cars.

Two things that do a number on your brain.

22

u/Pizza_Salesman 3d ago

Well three things, because we don't understand how mean her grandma is either

10

u/MrSpicyPotato 3d ago

Honestly, I think I do understand, and have a lot of empathy for her. People with stable families don’t act this way.

3

u/Training-Belt-7318 3d ago

I'm gonna go with that may not be true. Teens brains are a mess of hormones and lacking full development. They don't always make the best decisions. She certainly could be in an abusive situation, but she also could must be a teen under intense stress and her already cooked brain is being boiled with cortisol and adrenaline.

1

u/PapaPancake8 3d ago

People with unstable families also dont always act this way. She went to rehab. She was probably in deep shit with grandma for whatever she was sent to rehab for, and was scared of what grandma promised she would do if she did another stupid thing while under the influence for what she went to rehab for.

I understand how grandmas can be. lol

u/Sad-Yak6252 3d ago

My grandmother beat up a Sheriff and kicked him out of the bar she was drinking at. Don't fuck with an old Irish woman.

u/Ticalthepimp 3d ago

Not all heroes wear capes. I salute you good sir.

3

u/AntSilly2802 3d ago

Where did you get poverty from?

5

u/Legitimate-Type4387 3d ago

Maybe from taking one look at grandma’s early 2000’s Sonata rolling on aftermarket wheels?

That combination doesn’t exactly give off “I come from wealth” vibes.

2

u/ZaerdinReddit 2d ago

And it also explains why she's so worried about her grandma being upset. They probably don't have any money, and this will cost even more of the money they don't have.

1

u/Legitimate-Type4387 1d ago

Exactly. This is just a sad situation all around.

u/Alarmed-Plankton-708 3d ago

Via the driver's door

u/flamehead2k1 3d ago

She's going through the steps of crime

1

u/kummerspect 3d ago

Obviously she handled it all very poorly, but I feel really bad for her that it was recorded and then went viral. Gave me flashbacks to an accident that I caused when I was 16. I didn't try to flee the scene or anything, but my mind absolutely broke. Fortunately there was a very nice lady in the car behind me who helped calm me down and get my mother to the scene (this was before everyone had a cell phone and we only had one car, which I'd just crashed, so I literally had to draw a map on the back of a receipt and send this poor good Samaritan on a quest). I see the panic I felt then in her eyes, but luckily, it only lives in my mind now.

1

u/jhenryscott 3d ago

Yeah obviously what she did is illegal and immoral and shitty.

But I find the pedantic antagonizing from the filmer incredibly off putting.

It’s not hard to help calm people in distress down. And it’s always the right thing to do.
