I certainly did today.
I headed to the local auto parts store, neglecting to notice it was after 5pm, I live in a rural, farming community.
I pulled into their entrance, to find it blocked by a rollback. I manuevered the best I could, but was still slightly pointed in the wrong direction. Speed limit is 50 or 55 and it's on a blind curve. I waited until there was no traffic, started to pull out and saw a motorcycle rolling up quick.
I nailed it, forgetting I have my comp box stacked with some new beta stuff.
Yeah, that thing got sideways, and me, forgetting what I had on tap, WAY BIGTIME over corrected. Funny how things happen in slow motion. I got to see the guy on the bike and even had time to realize it was a friend of mine, then I saw the telephone pole and ditch and started thinking "this is gonna hurt", then, because of my superior vehicle handling skills, I ended up parked perfectly on the shoulder of the road. Of course it was on the wrong side of the road facing oncoming traffic, but it was stopped!
Shew. There were two kids skateboarding in the auto parts store, they were laughing there heads off.
Just glad no one got killed or hurt and my truck survived. There was white smoke, black smoke and a whole lotta rubber layed down. The truck stalled too.
