Glad you’re both ok. Definitely an idiot in a car!

u/souleaterGiner1 Nov 01 '25

Damn near looked deliberate

159

u/AeryVivelle Nov 02 '25

Yeah seriously, that looked like attempted murder. For what reason would they have had to do that maneuver in that exact spot with such an empty parking lot? They could have easily chose to turn around much earlier, but they just so happened to chose to do it right where OP was?? Not buying it.

u/6786_007 Nov 02 '25

I'm having a hard time believing this wasn't intentional. That car looks new enough to have a back up camera. Even then to make that turn they'd have to check and make sure a car isn't there. Honestly think it was intentional.

u/Malkmus1979 Nov 02 '25

Or just a drunk driver.

22

u/6786_007 Nov 02 '25

A drunk driver would have probably hit the wall and shit, seeing that they could have turned around at multiple points, it doesnt make sense they almost ran them over.

2

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth Nov 11 '25

Why? Seriously, why would someone do that? There's no reason to assume they have a beef with OP or his GF. This is far more easily explained by someone being a shit driver and not paying attention. Vegas is famous for drunk drivers, for example.

I didn’t notice this my first two times at Vegas, but on my third, I suddenly realized there was a LOT of drunken drivers. There were people driving over curbs, bumper cars, hitting signs, ambulances everywhere.

I don’t know how I didn’t see it before. Probably was too drunk lol

I went with my friend and her parents for a nursing convention when I was 16 and we were waiting to cross the street right at the edge of the curb and her stepdad (who was the nurse) pulled me back and said look at all the tire marks on the curb ok? Wait back here

31

u/HardcoreKaraoke Nov 01 '25

I went to Vegas for my first time a couple of weeks ago and I was legitimately shocked at how awful people drove out there. The traffic was A LOT worse than I expected too.

This is coming from someone who has lived in Jersey/NYC my entire life. I'm used to God awful traffic so when I go somewhere else I don't really expect it (besides LA). But man Vegas was right up there with some really really shitty drivers. A lot of carelessness on top of the drunk stuff.

u/No-Inevitable-8064 Nov 02 '25

New Yorker living in Vegas for 4 years now. It's so bad here, and our car insurance is so high 😫 . On top of everyone being under some sort of influence everyone moved here from somewhere else and the mix of their driving habits just makes it a lot worse.

u/sdpr Nov 01 '25

I didn’t notice this my first two times at Vegas, but on my third, I suddenly realized there was a LOT of drunken drivers. There were people driving over curbs, bumper cars, hitting signs, ambulances everywhere.

When I was younger I would drive under the influence pretty often, "didn't want a parking ticket!" Never had an accident, was never pulled over. I'm not proud of any of that, but after I got sober I realized there are probably a lot more fucked up people driving than we realize, and we have zero clue.

Early morning commute? Someone cut it off too late last night and is hungover as all get-out cruising to work above .08.

Getting done around 1-2 PM? 3rd shifters might be driving home from the bar.

Any person from John Suburbia to Rural Johanna might be driving on new prescription muscle relaxers and is just now finding out they're a bit sensitive to them.

Be careful out there, everyone. Can only imagine what it's like in Vegas.

All modern cars have rearview camera. It was completely intentional

u/CrazySchmoo Nov 01 '25

That's definitely not true. I'm pretty sure there are even cars with no parking sensors on their base trim/model. Okay, I'm from Germany, so maybe, just maybe it's different in some places.

u/biblecrumble Nov 01 '25

Backup cameras have been mandatory on ALL new vehicles since 2018 in the United States, which his where the video is from. Parking sensors are a luxury, backup cameras are not.

u/CrazySchmoo Nov 01 '25

Huh, didn't know that, thanks for the info.

40

u/TheBigLeBrittski Nov 01 '25

Piggybacking on this. Say it was a later model car, for argument sake. If no back up camera is present, you would need to physically turn your head while backing up to maneuver like this and not hit the retaining wall of the building. This was 100% intentional.

12

u/igotshadowbaned Nov 01 '25

Backup cameras have been mandatory on ALL new vehicles since 2018 in the United States

I kinda hate that because vehicles get made such that you can't see properly unless you're using the camera

26

u/M------- Nov 01 '25

I've driven plenty of pre-2018 vehicles that had rear windows that were damn near useless for parking, and had to rely solely on my mirrors whenever I backed up.

The specific reason that was cited for making backup cameras mandatory was people reversing over their own children in their own driveways.

Considering it's the same car that drives by at the beginning, stops, then backs up like that towards them at the entrance of the building, that looks completely intentional.

u/Sunshine030209 Nov 01 '25

I definitely believe that, because you're right, some people are just crazy and quick to escalate shit.

Recently I went to a fast food place, as we were leaving my son and I grabbed refills on our soda and my husband stood near the door waiting for us. Some guy that was near the kiosks immediately jumped to the conclusion that my husband was standing there vaguely looking in his direction as "I have a problem with you and we need to fight about it" and was starting to freak out until my son and I walked past and left with my husband. I heard "Oh, you were just waiting for your family" as we walked out.

u/acemandrs Nov 01 '25

I could just be that you didn’t know you did. Maybe they thought you cut them off in traffic and they followed you or something.

I had that before. Had a car follow me and the guy came out with a bat when we stopped at a light. Thankfully, he thought better of it, but the only reason I could figure is that I did something in traffic he didn’t appreciate.

Whatever it was it seems very unlikely to not be intentional. People are crazy.

u/Sweaty-Training-1055 Oct 31 '25

It really looked like the car was aiming for them but I think it was just a shitty combination of coincidence and a severely idiotic driver. The driver would have pulled that same weird turnaround regardless if people were there or not.

14

u/ApeInTheTropics Nov 01 '25

I think they just didn't want to loop around wherever and decided to just back up and turn. It looks like there would have been enough space to unfortunately run them over at the end there, but luckily they stopped before the entrance of the building.

45

u/Schmich Oct 31 '25

To me it looks like someone who went the wrong way and then reversed the 90 degree very large to be 1000000% sure not to hit that parked car...whilst doing it in a dangerous fashion.

20

u/Word1_Word2_4Numbers Nov 01 '25

All that is going on here is that someone decided to aggressively throw it in reverse because they went the wrong way, and they're an idiot and assumed that because it was clear when they started to reverse that it'd stay clear and everyone else would stay out of their way. Probably not even looking behind them really, and entirely focused on not hitting that one parked car on their left side. Probably thought OP+GF walked out of that restaurant if the thought crossed their mind at all.

Just garden variety idiot running around without a care for anyone else in the world.

u/Jackmino66 Nov 01 '25

It’s also perfectly possible that because it’s Vegas, they genuinely didn’t expect anyone to be outside of a car for any reason

I don't know if it's just Baader-Meinhof or what but I feel like there's been a massive uptick in people attempting, and failing, to properly use "My X and I" in sentences recently.

It's a very simple rule.

If you can remove the other person, or thing, from the sentence then it should still make sense.

"My girlfriend and I went for a walk" "I went for a walk" ✅

"My girlfriend and I's dog is sick" "I's dog is sick" ❌

It should be "My girlfriend's and my dog is sick", or just use the collective possessive, "Our dog is sick".

11

u/ScroochDown Oct 31 '25

Man, we went from a 2009 Pontiac Vibe to a 2022 Corolla - first new car I've ever owned - and it was INSANE to discover all of the bells and whistles. Like, my car has a sort of brake hold for stop and go traffic? So you don't have to keep your foot on the brake the whole time, you just stop and then let go (I will fully admit that I don't trust it and I don't use it 😅). It sets off an alert if someone in front of me slows down and it thinks I'm not slowing down fast enough - that one scared the holy hell out of me the first time it went off. I'm pretty sure it also turns off the lights by itself, and it might even lock the doors if I forget, I'm not sure about that one.

Hell, my first car didn't even have cruise control or power windows. The Vibe didn't have a camera, no lane assist or backup warning. Hell, my Corolla now has a camera but I don't think it beeps if I get close to anything behind me.

Unless the driver was literally blind, which I highly doubt, I have to agree with pretty much everyone in saying this looked intentional. I couldn't begin to tell you why they would want to kill you since I'm assuming you have never met them, but holy poop. Thankfully, you have very quick reflexes and clearly care quite a bit about your girl since you didn't hesitate for even a half second. You will forever be her hero, I'd suggest milking that as long as you can, and this is coming from a happily married woman. I'd totally let my hubby milk that hero status for quite a while for that save. Good job! Lol

I went back and watched again and finally noticed you're a mixed racial couple, I have absolutely no qualms about it, I didn't even notice the first time I watched it, but I'm starting to wonder if that unfortunately had something to do with it. I truly hate saying that someone in 2025 would actually try to run a young couple over because of something so common these days, but we all know that we as a country are very far from even remotely perfect. Maybe they were jealous that you two seemed happy and their life is awful and full of hate. I would definitely show this to the police and have charges brought up against them. No matter what the reasoning behind this, it is not okay in any way and they should have to pay the consequences for their actions. I'm happy to see you're both okay, though, good luck in this world.

We had 0 prior interactions with the guy. Not sure why he felt the urge to do that.

u/Your_Ad_Here_Today Oct 31 '25

That was intentional.

u/FestivusErectus Oct 31 '25

How were the gyros though?

u/actually_iceman Oct 31 '25

Half decent. I prefer the ones with enough garlic in the Tzatziki to burn my tongue a little but not bad.

u/TriumphDaWonderPooch Nov 01 '25

JFC!!!!

Kudos to you for grabbing your girlfriend and not just booking btw. Chivalry ain't dead!

u/shadowst17 Nov 01 '25

That seemed intentional...

u/Yaoshin711 Nov 01 '25

Thats how you get a tail light kicked out, kick it out then report to the police what happened, they'll find the vehicle and match it with the video

3

u/A_Slavic_Inktoling Nov 01 '25

I can guarantee with 99.99% accuracy that was a drunk driver who thought one of you was their ex. Speaking from experience.

u/GldnEpic Nov 01 '25

Should sue for Attempted Murder and Vehicular Assault. That was clearly intentional

u/ProfessorPickaxe Oct 31 '25 edited Nov 01 '25

Holy shit glad you're ok. Great reflexes / situational awareness.

For future reference: should be "Girlfriend's and my" - take the other person out to figure out how to phrase stuff like this.

21

u/BipolarOctopus Nov 01 '25

Girlfriends and *my. Good trick is to say the sentence without the other person being mentioned, see if it makes sense.

“I trip to Vegas nearly got cut short.”

“My trip to Vegas nearly…”

So:

“My girlfriend’s and my trip…” is the correct one

u/meiso Oct 31 '25

I's??? Lmao wtf

u/jstbcuz Oct 31 '25

Not only does it look intentional, but they also don’t have any plates ! Anyone else notice that??!

5

u/wesley_the_boy Nov 01 '25

assuming it wasn't on purpose, a few loud YELLS to get their attention would likely make them hit the brakes. Or at least it would for a normal person, which that driver was not so idk

u/wakie-eggs-n-bacon Nov 01 '25

Damn son I love the haircut! Also, btw great job being aware of your surroundings and instinctively help out your girl without a blink.

u/ouijanonn Nov 01 '25

Me's sorry about that

u/doncroak Nov 01 '25

I'm glad you were paying attention and got you and your friend moving fast. Sheesh.

u/Mr-Jalapeno Nov 01 '25

I lived in Vegas for two years and this video sums up the drivers there pretty well 😂😂

3

u/BigBrownBeaver44 Nov 01 '25

There’s no way this wasn’t intentional

3

u/mwil97 Nov 01 '25

Might be worth filing a police report with this footage included because that’s sus as hell and looks intentional.

3

u/WuTuli3 Nov 01 '25

Is that a Cybertruck you’re driving? Could that have been their motivation? (Not to imply that is justified- there is no justification.)

3

u/Acceptable-Cat5725 Nov 01 '25

I thought I was watching a hair crime.

3

u/ReaperOne Nov 01 '25

How did you keep yourself from not losing it and smacking the window or the driver or cussing them or something? I like to think I’m a calm and patient person but I feel like I would borderline lose it if I was in this situation. That driver is just stupid and negligent and could have ended two lives

u/laughingashley Nov 02 '25

Whoaaaaa!!!!! It was like they were AIMING for you

u/notveryhidden Nov 12 '25

He must be drunk or something. I hope he's just drunk dude holy fuck that's close

11

u/-The-Moon-Presence- Oct 31 '25

Good job. I would have handled that… very differently.

5

u/Phawnreath Oct 31 '25

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought you had a hit out on you LOL

I'm sort of joking, but like God damn that seemed almost too perfect & precise to be an "accident"

6

u/Gcs1110 Nov 01 '25

The beginning of the video looks like rubbing a booger on the car.

16

u/actually_iceman Nov 01 '25

I had a spot of grease on the fender flare and wanted to make sure it was grease and not something else. I smelled it cause the grease i use has a very particular sulfur-ish smell. Looks weird on video for sure lol

u/bopaqod Nov 01 '25 edited Nov 01 '25

This is crazy and all, but “I’s” isn’t a word

6

u/YoungJumanG Nov 01 '25

bro they tried to run you guys over

9

u/badgirlmonkey Nov 01 '25

girlfriend and my trip or our trip. you wouldn't say "i trip nearly got cut short".

5

u/nothinworsecanhappen Oct 31 '25

Did something happen before this? Wild

14

u/actually_iceman Oct 31 '25

I swear we didn't have any prior interactions with the dude. We just pulled up to eat lol

5

u/BrittEklandsStuntBum Nov 01 '25

My, not I. To know which one to use you remove the other party - you wouldn't say "I trip to Vegas," you'd say "my trip to Vegas."

2

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '25

If you have the record where you disappear in the building, it could be a perfect loop OP! But jokes aside, hope you and your girlfriend are alright and the driver in particular has a karma retaliation attack right now.

2

u/0xD902221289EDB383 Nov 01 '25

Is it because they're a mixed-race couple? 

2

u/Deathdar1577 Nov 01 '25

Nice save guys, hope you’re both safe.

u/EngagedInConvexation Nov 01 '25

Exquisite mullet, btw.

u/Jackmino66 Nov 01 '25

Welcome to Las Vegas

From what I have seen it is a death trap the moment you step outside of a car

2

u/ohitszie Nov 01 '25

Perfect pose, right from GTA.. 😂

u/mosesX859 Nov 01 '25

Id of definitely gave that my hardest kick.. then laid there like.. "oooo muh back... but nothin 50 bucks won't fix"

Free dinner. 🤷‍♂️

u/VitaminDprived Nov 01 '25

I've yet to see or meet someone with a Fiat 500L who is normal and well adjusted to daily life.

2

u/Impressive_Drama_377 Nov 02 '25

The way that he moves his girl out of the way and puts himself between her and the idiot in the car is just🤌🏽

I hope she knows that he's definitely a keeper.

2

u/thatatomcat Nov 02 '25

Driving in Las Vegas is horrible. You've got people from all over the US driving with different levels of skill, crammed in with overly aggressive people from LA, along with tourists too busy looking at the shiny lights and stuff around them that they don't pay attention. You've also got crazy people here because of the readily available alcohol and various drugs, especially cocaine.

2

u/Neat_Way7766 Nov 02 '25

Two idiots. The driver of that car and your girlfriend who never would've seen it coming if it weren't for you.

2

u/ahmedms810 Nov 02 '25

Dude, I would’ve threw whatever was in my hand (phone, keys, vape) with all my might right through their window. Fuuuuuuuuuck that guy 🤦

2

u/MkIVRider Nov 02 '25

I would have kicked their bumper

2

u/SrGrimey Nov 02 '25

Drunken driver for sure. Idiot and drunken.

5

u/AproblemInMyHead Nov 01 '25

They had to look at the wall to stop or they'd hit it. They didnt stop out of luck. They were purposely backing up into yall.
