Yeah. Now what?
a woman was driving. thats why
We expect Conservative4Life to be sexist
and I guess there are no “sexist” liberals? I don’t agree with conservative4life’s comment, but I don’t agree with yours either
For folks who weren’t here earlier today –
We had a troll calling himself “Reversal” posting to this fail, who would simply copy every comment made into a reverse-text box and paste it onto the site. It became so boringly tedious that the FB mod has deleted all his posts.
So that’s why there will be a number of comments here in backwards text and upside down text, along with references to trollish “Reversal” and “enigami”, that were originally connected to that childishness of his.
(I suspect, though, that the driver in the Fail photo wishes she could reverse some things.
)
lol
Now let me get this straight. . .
There was a fortunate reversal of reversal’s fortunes on some unfortunate’s irreversible fail?
Yeah, pretty much a universal disjoint — automotive and typographical. lol
Did someone axildenty?
Life can take a unfulfilling form when meeting a filled concrete form.
oops … that was intended to be reply made in the cast lane VVV.

*Checks map*
Ack! I’m glad I didn’t step in it.
wow nice job xD
Yeah, by the contractor…no barriers to prevent people from, you know, driving through wet concrete…and for all the misogynistic a’holes who point out that the driver appears to be the woman standing there, the idiot contractor who didn’t actually DO his job appears to be a MAN, big surprise…
fyi, the whole street is ‘blocked’ off, you can’t ‘barricade’ the street (kinda hard to get equipment in). I’ve been in construction, people have driven around the signs, cones, and ME YELLING and WAVING my arms to go where they feel they have the right to go. This is the ussual results. Contractor did everything right. The dumbass driving the expensive car did everything wrong. End of mystery.
Good, that mystery is solved. Now, tell me — when does the actual quantum state stop being a linear combination of states, each of which resembles different classical states, and instead begins to have a unique classical description?
When the cat dies, but looking in on the cat invalidates the experiment, there by causing a paradox on the whole thing, which really fries my ‘brane’
When, approaching the event horizon of a black hole it reaches an unique state though not typically fitting “classical” description. If you are Richard C. Hoglan you might quote a variation of string theory.
I’m surprised I didn’t hear about this when it happened, since I live *right there* — but anyway, the whole street has been intermittently open & closed for months, but based on the position of the barrels, and the lack of giant “road closed” barricades at the Duke St. intersection, I’m gonna guess it was in one of its many “semi-open” states. They’d open it between downtown & the parking lot, or open it between Duke & Fuller, or open it between Fuller & the parking lot, and then close it again. Currently it appears to be open for mysterious 1-way traffic eastbound.
Point being, depending on the day (or even time-of-day) that section might very well have been open, or at least ambiguous.
And these are the same work crews who’ve thus far managed to bust a gas line, a water line, and to dig & re-fill the same hole at least 3 times that I’ve seen, so I wouldn’t put anything past them.
I know where this happened and all entrances to this area are blocked and have been for months. Main St. Durham, NC
Should have turned left at Albuquerque.
Somebody’s going to need a car jack hammer.
Something’s not right, I think the navigation device needs to be reset.

Alice, STOP! You are behaving WORSE than the troll. The troll is gaming you.
What do you mean “gaming” me?
Is Reversal the evolution of the troll?
Deletion is the evolution of the troll. Thanks Emily!
Emily to the rescue again! Unfortunately we all look a little crazy today though. Oh well, I am a little crazy so I’m perfectly used to it.
I enigami reversal is just an annoying, but persistent, 12 yr old with nothing better to do on Saturday. Trolls do not evolve.
But they can sometimes go backward apparently.

Uber fail.
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Iam sorry to bring it as first here, but you did notice that drivers gender, didnt you?
Out of all the possibilities, too!
“Iam” sorry to “bring it” as a comment on being a Piggy …
but women tend to have superior language skills.
Women, on average, also provide more skillful driving directions than men. Men have a tendency to offer cardinal points (north, south, east, west) and mileage numbers as a main component of their directions; women have a greater tendency to provide landmarks. It turns out prove more useful.
enigami that
lol … enigami my emabarrassment … as a guy I forgot to include “landmarks” in my last sentence!
Yes, because knowing exactly how far to drive in a certain direction is much less accurate than, “Turn right at the bush that kind of looks like a turtle, if you see the pond that looks like it belongs in The Notebook you’ve gone too far.”
You have proven the point … by missing it.
Easy now… it’s not my fault women are inferior at everything except making babies
Well F-word me, I thought TMI was Fuzz because of the same avatar. I still stand by my statements
Women, on average tends to nag too much.
I used to do enigami, but it was too much trouble keeping both bugs on the paper while folding it.
You should try first putting their wheels in concrete.

I’m so confused. You make a good point, then tell yourself to get a life? :-/
Incorrect, you will see numerous ways to prevent the car getting in short of solid full barricade, which would prevent the work actually getting done anywhere near efficiently. In short, the BMW went around the barricades in violation of the law as well as common sense.

Hey Jimbo I have the perfect “DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS” sign. I tried posting this before, but naturally I got moderated.

This is more like “Construction signage fail” too me.
that’s exactly what i thought. i wonder how a sign would have to look, that invites you to drive into the construction side and get stuck…
It wold have to look invisible.
Perhaps it was at the end of the street and said ROAD CLOSED. This is obviously an obstruction but they’re standing in the middle of the road and the cruiser doesn’t have it’s lights on. If the officer isn’t taking steps to warn other drivers, maybe there shouldn’t be any.
it had to be a woman…..
SEXIST. Women are equal to men! So they don’t have the same *ahem* parts, It could still be a man.
What you have between your ears is much more important than what you have between your legs.

I failed.
B-M-DUBYA.
Being stuck in moderation is like being trapped in jail with no passing go or collecting $200.
Oh good I’m free from moderation jail!
I think we should start posting this sign at the beginning of every fail.
I promise it’s a clean link and pretty relevant.

Heh BMW drivers…
Man this sucks. I have the perfect “Don’t feed the Trolls” sign and I can’t even post it because it gets put in moderation.
How do the other guys around here manage to even posts video and I can’t put up a single pic?
The blogmonster doesn’t like you. Maybe it thinks the shirt you’re wearing is stupid. Maybe it just wants to pick on someone because it’s feeling lonely. Maybe, just maybe, of you gave it a hug it would stop moderating you so much. Don’t you recognize a cry for love when you see one?
I thought it was just racist against the Irish and was hating on failblogs very own red headed step child.
*changes shirt*

*sadly realize I can’t help with any of the other stuff*
EPIC
It’s a woman, what you expect.
Gardevoir? Absol? Togekiss? Ampharos? Lapras? Any of the above? OwO
did he died?
There are no cones blocking off turning onto that road, which means it should have been drivable. I think the construction company will face liability in this case, because they didn’t put up proper hazard warning signs/tape.
Agreed. There are no sign blocking this road, either standing or knocked over.
the whole block is blocked off, you can’t tell cuz you dont see the sign RIGHT THERE! 2 streets are being worked on, the signs are out of camera range. this is yet another “you cant tell me where to go’ syndrome. happens alll the time.
Wimmins
How is this a driving fail? It’s a construction safety fail. What kind of moron pours concrete across the roadway and doesn’t block it off??
Maybe they had the whole road blocked off but (s)he decided that road closed signs only apply to others? The cruiser in this pic doesn’t have it’s lights on and they’re standing in the middle of the road. That leads me to think this was a closed road.
For all who keep insisting the driver is a woman… please note which side of the car she’s on, and which door is open. Unless the car was imported, she’s probably a passenger.
daddy can’t help you now princess
BMW driver.. and a woman. big surprise.
It could have been a male.
Besides, havn’t you noticed that most BMW drivers are GUYS!? *Storms off and then comes back later*
AND BY THE WAY, PEOPLE DON’T LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE SEXISTS!!!
Sorry, got a little out of control there… *Smiles apologetically*
Maybe when she was born there was a fire in the hospital and the doctor hit her with a shovel to put out the fire?
HA HA b’mer drivers are douchebags
i was thinking the exact…same…thing. thanks!
Yeah, I would feel sorry for the driver if he was in a Hyundai or something. But since he is driving a Beemer and is therefore wealthier than me and I am a bitter old man I lol at him.
Mr. Sancy-shmancy BMW (Boozed-up Moron Wagon) lost his wheels, oh noes!
HA! This is Durham, NC Fuller and Main! Prolly A Duke Student!
Oh, BTW that section of Main St. has been blocked off for months (it’s still blocked off, in fact). So, the Women Driver Hagters are actually right… Sorry ladies! You failed again!
Only on Fuller Street.
I could be wrong, but I don’t see anything cordoning off that section. If they were letting people down the street I thing someone is going to win a lawsuit.
Well, if you’re going to thing someone without consent you have to expect the lawsuit.
Or maybe a good Facebook comment.
Figures. A woman driver.
Yeah, that explains why their insurance rates are lower then males.
Not going anywhere for a while?
*Snickers*
heh … stuck in a fast-setting go-nowhere setting
Life in the cast lane.
There’ll be some really bad traction with that cast.
They should learn to steer clear of their hang-ups.
“what did you do to my driveway D=”
This is completely irrelevant to the fail in every way but…
I got to satisfy some of my boyish curiosity today.
I was doing yard work out in the back yard (because I’m a useful member of my family, mmhmm…) and one of the things we were doing was digging up a bush. We finally managed to get the bush out. And as we were lifting it up into the yard waste bin, something fell out of the tangle of roots.
It was a lump of obsidian.
Now, I know this isn’t too terribly amazing. I mean, I live in Oregon, so… ya know, Cascades. Dormant volcanoes. But still. It was a fist-sized lump of obsidian. Which I found in my own back yard. Didn’t have to go to the mountains or anything. Heehee!
I can dig it Shadow.
Yeah? I think you’re just humoring me while I babble on and make myself look like a psycho
Nah! I always humor psychos. Nothing personal, it’s just safer.
heh … I bet you like playing in concrete, too.
Me? Or Marius?
Neither, it’s Memorex.
… Now you’re just confusing me.
*sound of volcanic glass breaking*
…
No, we’re live.
Is it even worth my time to ask?
And how much of an idiot am I making of myself right now?
If you weren’t alive in the early 80s, you aren’t gonna get it.
*squeeze*
*squeeze*
I guess you just had to be there.
I couldn’t find the Memorex vid — there used to be a commercial where an audio recording of a voice shattered a glass. (They had ones for video tape too — where the whole point was whether the person was in fact “being there” or not.) But, this is kinda cute:

Also, I love the lyrics of the Old 97′s. I was reminded of this line: “If that phone don’t ring one more time, I’m gonna lose what’s left of my mind…”

Oh…I’m so sorry.

Sorry to hear that, Marius.

What are ya going to do. The kid’s in love and Grandma is closing in on ninety. It could be worse.
*Many hugs back*
I hope that didn’t come across as cold as it looks.
Nope. Understood it completely…you’re coping with reality. Besides, we know you, silly.
Yeah, we can get a little crazy sometimes when we find someone we *sure* we love.

Obsidian is inherently cool, to my likewise boyish mind anyway. I just went and read a bit about it online, and learned that obsidian is formed in a way that prohibits crystals to form and, since it’s non-crystalline, that’s the reason it can break with such sharp edges.
And it is relevant to the fail, since, as Marius points out, boyish minds correlate with high car insurance rates.
… I just thought it looked cool.
An excuse for buying ANYTHING.
Or finding, then keeping it, in this case.
Or, you know,
stealing something…
… You do know what we’re talking about, right?
Yes, yes, your find. But at the moment I thought we were speaking of why one would say “I just thought it looked cool.”
You were probably speaking of that. I thought you were just confused about the subject matter.
Perhaps we should start over.
I think obsidian’s pretty cool too
Obsidian? Nobody mentioned obsidian.
Then you’re right. Everyone IS insane except for you.
If you say so.
*looks at others meaningfully*
Did you want to be insane too?

At least this one got through!
Your web site is beautiful. I wish you continued success.
Would be a BMW wouldn’t it.
‘Doi, my car is so amazing it can fly.’
I think this photo was taken in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Nope. That is main street in Durham, NC (West Village construction area, Brightleaf Square in the background). That section of Main has been closed for months, but I’d guess that’s a recently returned Duke student driving Daddy’s beemer . . . poorly.
I expect this will show up soon on frau-am-steuer.de, which is full of “women can’t drive” stuff.
What a stick-in-the-mud.
i think this photo was taken somewhere far, far away from any city containing smart people…
stupid, haughty, self-centered, i’m the princess of the world white-woman-driving-beamer win!
look the in concreat cement under pipe is come out and collapse with car
next time drive care fully
Shouldn’t the beemer’s rear wheel drive get her out of there in reverse?
its a construction worker fail. there’s no signs or cones to let her know that there’s wet cement there. somebody would be paying me mad dough if that happened to my whip. its a construction worker fail.
Ah, this BMW cements itself in the history of failure…

She’s preggers. Look at that stomach. Should she really be driving?
A woman can lead you in any condition like the car
Funniest thing is, its a BMW with REAR-wheel drive! So if you’d hit the gas good enough you should be able to get out. That’s why beer contains female hormons: if you drink too much of it you won’t be able to speak normal and your driving capabilities dissappear as snow in front of the sun
its a rear wheel drive car, surely it couldve gotten out of that
Women “D
Yer… right. Small (for the price, 3 series is really cramped inside) and anything that comes as standard on a Japanese car is an extra. It isn’t that long ago that a radio was extra!
Anyway; blond in a Beemer; what do you expect?
Soooo….I shouldn’t get a 3 Series if I want to have room????
Not that a Beamer is going to be my first car, anyways…I’ll probably start with my Mom’s car or my Grandma’s van….
A teenage girl can dream about owning a BMW, can’t she?
BTW, does anyone know why BMWs are referred to as BEAMERS?
All stereotypes are completely true. There are exceptions here and there, sure, but that doesn’t mean the general rule doesn’t hold. If you happened upon a talking cow, does that mean you should always in the future reserve judgment as to whether any and every cow with which you come into contact can talk? Of course not.
I consider a person’s sex when I interact with him/her. That makes me a sexist. Oh, yes, it does. I am not ashamed.
I consider a person’s race when I interact with him/her. That makes me a racist. Oh, yes, it does. I am not ashamed.
I consider a person’s age when I interact with him/her. That makes me an ageist. Oh, yes, it does. I am not ashamed.
Go ahead and substitute any other outwardly obvious characteristic a person might display.
