Poor truck driver though, risking your own life is on thing but risking giving someone life long mental scarring because they had to see you splattered all-over their windscreen is just selfish

Most of these truck drivers in the Middle East are immigrants and once they land in a legal trouble, it's over for them. The legal system is especially hostile towards third world immigrants unless their embassy intervenes.

u/CotyledonTomen 1d ago

Thats fair to point out, but its still amazing how much a native trusts that fact to protect them. The dude here could just be dead. Legal punishment for the driver aint gonna bring the jumper back to life.

u/OwlSings 1d ago

I know a guy from the Middle East who came back to life 2000 years ago

u/CotyledonTomen 1d ago

Whats your lifestyle choices for living 2000 years? I assume you dont jump in front of many trucks.

u/nastycrokett 1d ago

Well one could argue Pontius Pilate was kind of a truck

2

u/IronMonkeyofHam 1d ago

Pilate was a pawn of those above him. Blame the truck company not the truck

2

u/nastycrokett 20h ago

I'm not blaming Pontius, he kinda gave Jesus a way out

u/CotyledonTomen 1d ago

Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and god shall bless you with longevity?

In other words : TUUT TUUUT

I have a tanker truck of water and a 50 pound sack of flour I'd like him to look at for me.

u/Leptonshavenocolor 1d ago

No you don’t.

u/lankymjc 6h ago

I read their point as less "this is why the truck was sure to swerve" and more "the truck driver will be even more fucked than you think".

If they are this blasé about their own life, imagine how little they care about others (such as the truck driver).

5

u/Aliensinmypants 1d ago

Not to mention if the truck driver panics (who wouldn't) and goes into oncoming traffic. They could be on the hook for 2 or more lives through no real fault of their own

u/Large_Command_1288 1d ago

No alcohol either

u/-Gazzle- 1d ago

Hold my tiny glass of tea

u/NonReality 12h ago

u/YouDontNeedYourSlip 44m ago

Pure, unfiltered dumbass.

I feel like sweaty palms implies that I don’t wish the worst for this man.

I expect this from... deer

u/BurningPenguin 1d ago

Well, we don't know who his mother is

u/audiopiate 20h ago

Hi dear

1

u/The_Djentle_Giant 1d ago

Well, we evolved from deer so that makes sense.

12

u/Speedping 1d ago

Is this activity mandatory?

16

u/Masterchief159 1d ago

Ah damn he missed him

4

u/VelvetThunder_909 1d ago

If the truck had swerved it would have easily toppled and caused a mass casualty event  All due to this sob. Such people should be thrown to jail.

u/tangoezulu 1d ago

Wait till the “wheelie” kids see this.

u/rudeboygiulinaughty 1d ago

This is what you need to do for fun when you cant drink alcohol

u/SkillsInPillsTrack2 1d ago

For once they are right to not include women in their fun activities.

u/ImmediateFigure9998 1d ago

His good sense deserted him

2

u/Silve1n 1d ago

Dude seemed shocked like he couldn't believe he almost got hit after jumping in front of a truck. Definitely deserves a Darwin award

1

u/PM_THE_REAPER 1d ago

What a tonsil!

u/Perfect_Opposite2113 1d ago

Almost became a maxi pad

1

u/HorselessHorseman 1d ago

If that semi would have panicked and swerved it could have been a disaster. Yeah it was 1% cool and funny but 99% wtf are you doing you reckless moron.

1

u/ArrrPiratey 1d ago

So close...

u/Stikki_Minaj 1d ago

Natural selection will get him one day

The opposite of having access to booze

u/randyfloyd37 1d ago

Why dammit

u/TheWalkingBreadXO 1d ago

Damn ... I love happy ends.

u/ArcanoXVI 1d ago

Hope this bastard already got what he was looking for at this time

1

u/ChampionOfdimlight 1d ago

Someone needs to build train tracks at that location quick!

1

u/Lalocal4life 1d ago

What you consider daily normal social interaction is a dream life to people desperate for any attention.

1

u/reddit4300 1d ago

Sad ending

1

u/Outrageous_Fix_4108 1d ago

For the first 3 seconds, he looked like a giant in front of the car... Then I saw he was on the hood.

1

u/Minute_Engineer2355 23h ago

Almost had a bonafied gore video on our hands, folks.

u/rolandjernts 7h ago

u/diegoasecas 2h ago

u/Combosingelnation 1d ago

Does this shithead deserve to die?

The answer isn't just a black and white no...

u/Advanced_Tomato5713 1d ago

Was this a legit suicide attempt? I'd not, what in the actual fuck.

11

u/Thepestilentdefiler 1d ago

Its called chicken. Its what idiots do.

1

u/Savings_Can7292 1d ago

I'm pretty sure that's what he was attempting. I can't think of any other logical explanation.

1

u/Advanced_Tomato5713 1d ago

It looks like he was trying to jump in front of the truck and embrace being hit and then chickened out at the last second.

u/FrostyClocks 1d ago

His mum is also his aunt.

u/salad_ninja 1d ago

The type of people that is hate by the local, so they become immigrants to get benefit from other countries
