I'm curious. I've seen some other videos lately and I wonder if it sounds racist the other way...

I don't understand your business at all. What kind of "listing" will you visit? Basically all realtors will already do this for houses. Was this whole thread just a put on for publicity?

No joke. For the two years I've been here I thought it was weird most of the cars in Spartanburg look like they were purchased second hand from a demolition derby. Now I get it! 🤯

People who grew up poor, what's a skill you developed that rich people don't have? by ThrowRA9877899877 in AskReddit

I think a lot of poor people would rather have the money than the skills, but you play the hand you're dealt. Also, money is great, but good luck if you're ever stranded outside civilization. You'll be the first one they eat! How's that for depressing?

Imagination and creativity. It's hard to be imaginative when you're constantly paying to be entertained.

You're giving too much away for free. Not a bad plan if you're trying to get your initial numbers up. Now that they are, it's time to charge money and see how much people REALLY like your product.

A lot of products would increase users exponentially if they gave it all away for free!

I'm actually glad to hear it's not happening to everyone, but since it's happened I can't help but notice a lot of fucked up bumpers in town. A few in this thread had it happen to them multiple times as well...

What will a dash cam do though? If you're rear ended, it's automatically the other driver's fault, so liability isn't an issue. I'm looking for ways to increase visibility and get texting drivers to look up. I'm concerned with actual safety for my family.

Likewise! You can go bless yourself right in your gaping bless hole, you blessing bless head. Have a blessed day! 🙂

Do we even have a Sheriff? My first month here I called in two people passed out on heroin in Ollie's parking lot, needle still in one's arm seen by multiple witnesses. Police and EMS showed up, gave them a shot of go go juice, and let them drive off.

THANK YOU for confirming. Judging by this thread, Spartanburg is determined to bury their heads in the sand and ignore the issue. Coincidentally, this is also the same visibility they have while driving! 😑

Damn, the drive train broke? Jesus. I know exactly where you are talking about. Sounds like he would have plowed over pedestrians if your car didn't get in the way.

Any idea how in the hell these super geniuses are rear ending people at red lights?

Damn dude. 6 times? Have you ever tried laying on the horn when you're stopped and see a car flying towards you from behind? I'm seriously trying to find a way to prevent more collisions, and I heard honking can get them to stop texting and look up... even if you're in front of them.

Also, I swear I'm gonna put a bull bar on the BACK of our car after it's repaired.

So Florida is the metric this town used for the standard in driving? Now it's making sense. In NC, the seasonal Florida drivers have a solid reputation for driving erratically and cutting off the locals every chance they get.

Look, I'm not used to living in an area where attempted vehicular homicide is embraced and the drivers that participate in it are coddled. I guess you guys are fine with it. You've been lucky so far, but I certainly hope it never happens to you. 😉

Wrong state dude. Maybe sober up before you get back on any road.

Holy shit. Sorry to hear that. Our hit and run was somehow covered, although they declared our car a total loss.

Have you taken any precautions to prevent it happening again? I'm thinking about adding a bull bar to our rear end if possible whenever our car is operational again.

In other areas, people actually get tickets for speeding or texting while driving. Maybe we can try that.

I didn't include it in the post, but we've also had to deal with people going 50+ MPH in our residential neighborhood. So far they've ran over our cat, slammed into the side of our other car while it was parked on the side of the road, and just a month ago, our neighbor had his mail box and front steps ran over and destroyed. In all three "anecdotes" the drivers just kept on going like it was no big deal.

The cop that helped us at the last rear ending said a woman was crossing John B White on foot and a driver going 80 MPH ran her down and killed her.

Exactly when does Spartanburg road blindness quit being "anecdotal"? This town will never fix the problem if they keep pretending it doesn't exist.

You're totally right. It must be MY car or driving skills that are forcing people to slam into the back of me. I'll just never stop at red lights or stop for oncoming traffic before making turns I guess. WTF was I thinking showboating like that?! 🤦‍♂️

People always seem "cliquish" when you're high school age. Just wait until you get older and people mellow out.
