My Wife Crashed the Car Again—But What the Cop Said Left Us Speechless!
My wife had another, shall we say, adventure with the car today. At this point, it’s starting to feel like the car insurance company should send us a holiday card. But this time, the whole thing took an unexpected turn—literally and figuratively.
When I got to the scene, she was pacing in circles, her phone clutched tightly in her hand, looking more furious than shaken. I could tell right away that she was gearing up to defend herself. Before I could even ask what happened, she launched into an angry rant.
“You wouldn’t believe it!” she huffed. “That man was completely reckless! He was on his phone, not even paying attention! And if that wasn’t bad enough, he was drinking a beer! A beer, for crying out loud! Who does that while driving?”
I nodded, trying to piece together the scene. The "reckless driver" she was referring to, a middle-aged man in a flannel shirt and slippers, stood nearby with a rather bemused expression. His car, on the other hand, was completely still—because, well… it hadn’t moved at all.
The police officer, who had been listening carefully to my wife’s passionate complaints, gave her a long, measured look. I noticed his lips twitch slightly, as if he was fighting back a smile.
Finally, he cleared his throat and said, “Ma’am… he’s allowed to do that… in his own living room.”
The words hung in the air for a moment. My wife blinked. Then blinked again.
And then it hit her—quite literally, just like she had hit his parked car.
Her face went blank as she processed the reality of the situation. The "reckless driver" wasn’t driving at all. He had been sitting comfortably in his own car, parked in his own driveway, enjoying a quiet beer when she came barreling in and crashed into it.
Her anger drained instantly, replaced with sheer disbelief.
“Oh,” she said, barely above a whisper.
The officer, now openly grinning, gave her a friendly pat on the shoulder. “Look on the bright side, ma’am. At least this time, nobody was actually in traffic.”
My wife let out a long sigh, rubbing her temples. “Well, that’s one way to learn,” she muttered.
I, on the other hand, struggled to hold back my laughter. Because at that moment, all I could think about was how I was never going to let her live this one down.
