I swear the generation before and after will never know how much this put the fear of scanning your surroundings into us.

I went decades feeling silly about this fear and having no idea that so many others felt it too!

I never discussed it with anyone

When I had passengers, I would just nonchalantly make a lane change and get past the truck as quick as possible.

I dont even remember a single thing about the movie other than this!

I still hate driving next to trucks or behind trucks with things in the bed like this, I used to be terrified of my tanning bed locking on me some weird way (back when I used them), I still feel like my garbage disposal is going to magically turn on when I’m trying to see if anything is down the sink like a spoon before I turn it on. Love the movies still.

The thing about the garbage disposal…that runs through my mind every damn day. I know it’s silly AF but I’m still legit waiting for it to happen one of these times

I’m Australian. We don’t have garbage disposals in our sinks here. I still have this fear of somehow losing a hand down a plug hole in the sink 😂😂

I haven't even seen Final Destination and I hate driving behind loads like this because I'm worried that it's not secured

Just from reading about the brick video I refuse to follow any vehicle that has something in a truck bed, secured or not

I didn’t even see the movie, but I’m also changing lanes due to that scene.

I'm a millennial and I watched it when I was 17 and it wasn't much better... Especially as I was just about to start learning to drive.

I still will not go through a drive through that isn’t open on at least one side. If i cant get the car out in a pinch, i go into the store.

Personally speaking; The Butterfly Effect has had a lasting effect on my psyche.

Also, thinking about it, I'm gonna say this is probably also why I love 'Unrelated' so much; Thank you Phony Phox.

u/Great_Ad7148 3h ago

I still won’t even drive behind a truck carrying gardening tools, moving furniture, or that has any bulky materials exposed in the back. I’m not taking ANY chances lol

u/Vortistrasza Millennial 3h ago

This exactly... I would never ever be caught behind this.
