Default I Almost Died....
So my co-worker and I are driving back from our last PC install of the day, to the shop, so we can punch out and head on home (he was driving).

As we start to near our turn-off for the building, he begins to hit the brake (I'd say we got down to about 30mph), when from my side of the car comes a hornet or a wasp (a really big bee) buzzing his yellow-ass off as he zooms past me and into the driver's face.



...


ok, now in that situation, a sane person would simply stop the car, and clear the bee out before continuing, right?


...



Well it seems now that sanity wasn't a trait my co-worker possessed.


This ******* starts panicking and waiving his arms like a madman, throws his body against the door as he tries to open it; must've said, "screw it" in his mind, because before I knew it he was flying head first out the friggin window!!

Yep, to my shock, he was nothing more than a human tumble-weed.

and here I am in the still moving car (already past the turn-off).




Now I'm in panic mode and forget about the emergency brake. I quickly throw my left leg over to his side and stomp on the brake pedal (I couldn't grab hold of the steering wheel), causing the car to stop in a half-spin.




The co-worker was fine since he landed in the median (if you can believe that), and when I asked what his problem was, he replied, "Man, I don't like no damn bees in my face man"


[shocked]

Quality story [thumbup]

I think i'd have bit the bullet though and just got stung rather then risk crashing!

I don't mind wasps and bee's as long as they stay away from my eyes, noes, ears and mouth!

What an *******.

At least you have a story to tell.

I am glad you did not die. You are my #1 source for Wii information.

You should have just slid in to the drivers seat then drove off and left him there.

And I thought my drive to work would have looked funny. My car dash was on fire and smoke was pouring out my windows, all the while I was driving like a mad man to get to work so I could get some water!

[rofl] That's great. But it's good to see you are OK King.

Although if I was in your situation, I might have said screw it and jumped out of the car as well. Good to hear you kept your head.

ugh thats dangerous. bees or insects don't really freak me out but once while i was a student in cyprus was going back home from school, as i was just getting in, i wanted to kick the water hose in the yard (at least it was looking like that) back to neighbours side, ask i tried to kick it did slide super fast away from me well that was when i realized i tried to kick a snake. yeah well that was the only time i kinda like was umm maybe i should check under every bed and every hole in the house. couldnt sleep well for a few days. yeah well what can u do some ppl get freaked out by some insects i am sure if it was big enough it would scare me too i am sure i wouldnt be thrilled to find a tarantula on my head. prolly would cause me to have an accident.

you think thats bad... A hornet flew into my window on the highway while I was on my way to Atlanta. I was going 75 mph.

Oh yeah, and I had no shoes on, lol. It flew into the pedal area, and I took a chance and stepped on it bare footed, luckily didn't get stung, and luckily not much traffic around cuz I was swerving like hell. [surrender]

That's a crazy story! Glad you're ok. [surrender]

However I'm **** scared of things like bees and wasps because I'm highly allergic to them. They can kill me with ease.

That is freakin funny. I would question him about your friendship. Leaving you in the car in the passengers side going +/-30mph with a wasp in the car is nuts.

Most people that I know who get a bee or something like that just slam on the brakes.
For me, I just say "f*** it* If I get stung, then I just stung. Most recent one was a hornet it my side mirror and came into my car. When I finally got out like 10 minutes later I found it on crawling on my leg. That is when I preceeded to whack it off, dance around and run towards the house.

Quite a few years ago, I was on my motorcycle bombing down the motorway near where I live doing 80mph and a bee went straight up into my helmet and right up my nose.

I pulled over onto the hard shoulder, ripped my helmet off, but the frigging bee had already decided to sting me, just inside my nostril.
Within a few minutes my nose swelled up to the size of a golf ball.

It hurt like hell, but I had no choice but to carry on to my destination, which was another 60 miles or so.

By the time I got where I was going, my nose was huge and red, and hurt like hell.

I managed to get some sodium bicarbonate at a friends house, mix it with some warm water and soak a few cotton wool balls which I then shoved up my nostrils to try and kill the sting.

My nose looked like a "clowns conker" for days afterwards.
