Ever have one of those days where everything goes wrong? Of course, we all have. Heres some pics of other people's bad days, worst nightmares, etc....

PS.... It appears to me a couple of these pics are setup. The horse and the deer, for example.

Another plane ran into it. Pilot must've been on the ground, pulling the prop thru, when it started and ran into this one.

I highly doubt that that they are fake.

Several years ago, I repaired a Chrysler Sebring convertible that had the top down when a deer leaped off the side of the road and landed square in the middle of the windshiels upper horizontal support. The deer was gutted immediately and most of the remains landed in the vehicle and on the driver. :sick: :mad:

What a bloody mess. And I have seen more detailed pics of that deer in the truck. Actually there were 2 vehicles going down the road when the first one didn't see the second one behind them. They turned around and came back to see this.

The deer certainly isn't faked. There's lots of deer in this area and if you go lifetime without hitting one you're lucky. I'm a betting man and knowing the area I'll bet Carnage and Flyer5 have both hit deer. My Uncle lives in th same area and I think he's clipped two of them if not 3 in about 10 years. Hitting a deer going fast will pretty much total most vehicles. People have been kicked to death by them going through the windshield...

I ran through a screen door and strained myself. Then there was the time I fell into a lens grinder and made a spectacle of myself. :D Thank you.....I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

I towed a Peterbuilt years ago that caught a deer in mid flight leaping across I-95 in Brewster NY. I was amazed at the damage done to the truck, it looked like it hit a bridge abutment.

My buddies had a french exchange student that would come over once a year. The first year he couldn't speak barely any English... we taught him though. :lol: First time he was here we were at the river and I had a cray fish, he stuck his hand out so I put it in... :lol:

Anyhow after he had learned some English a few years later we were all at this party, lots of older people there including my friends grandparents, mothers etc. He runs into the sliding screen door and dinged up his nose a little. He goes into the huse and all the ladies are sitting around the kitchen table and ask him what happened.... "Ahhh, I ran into zee f******* screen door".... :rofl:

Might of been one of those things you had to be there for but it was hilarious, you could have heard a pin drop in that room.

I only ever hit one and I got it with the Mercedes, I got lucky as it must of hit dead center right on the bumper. Caved it in a little but nothing to worry about, only other damage was it cracked a mount on the grill... really lucky. Probably going about 45, came off the front of truck like a ball off a bat. Good thing no one was coming the other way.

About four or five years ago, my volunteer fire dept was called to a car v. deer on the interstate in the northbound land, When we got there, no car to be found, until that is when we looked over the median. A car hit a pregnant deer doing about 70 mph and went over the guard rail. Luckily for the driver, the deer hit on the right side of the windshield and ended up in the back seat all smooshed up like it went through a blender but the driver wasn't hurt to badly.

I took two out last year about 4 months apart. The first one went over the car causing $9400 in damages. The second went under the car and got itself gutted on the undercarriage. Deer guts stink to high heaven btw. :sick: Totally messed up the suspension to the tune of about $6000. I still have the car unfortunately as it was pretty much brand new.
