  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Assuming you can drive through any kind of obstacle already qualifies you as a moron. Even if it's just a cardboard box, you never know what's inside. Doing this and then acting all entitled qualifies you as a special kind of moron.

When I was a kid, I laughed at people swerving to avoid a paper bag. It seemed silly to me. My dad explained why they were doing it, and then chuckled as my eyes got huge and I said “OHHHH!”

can you ask your dad to explain it to me as well ?

Paper bags often have glass bottles in them. Glass+tires=a bad time.

oh. what's the correlation between paper bags and glass bottles ? is it a cultural thing ?

In the US you aren't allowed to drink alcohol in public. So they put the bottle into a paper bag.

In the US you can't openly drink in public, but you CAN if nobody knows what you're drinking
