Why didn't the guy being hunted do this


Why didn't he climb out of the car when being chased by the truck and jump to the front of the truck and run up it to the truck window and punch the driver through the window and then throw him out of the door and slide into the driver's seat and honk the horn in derision and say "Honk You!"? Doesn't make sense and insults your intelligence with all the stuff he did when he could have easily done what I said above.

Because he didn't what to die? That's my guess.

reply

Ok thanks. I always wondered why he didn’t perform those actions. Now I know.

reply

no ,it was because if he did that his little red shitbox car might have got scratched.

Because he obviously hasn't watched as many Super Hero action movies as you obviously have.

I’m not sure what you mean. That’s just what I do whenever I get into those types of situations. At least when I was a bit younger. Nowadays, I just plug my portable time machine into the lighter socket and go back to a point just before I met the crazed trucker and take a different route.

You're a real cutey! You can save my day any time!

I gotta like the sound of that! What’s the typical hero’s reward from the damsel in distress these days?

The same as it was in the old days. A winning smile and a kiss on the cheek. 💋

reply

He wasn't Mad Max, just an average Joe.

Exactly!

You know, that is a reasonable question. You seem like a highly intelligent fellow.

reply

Thanks, You seem smartenized yourself.

The guy in the car could've outrun that truck on the open highway, or driven down a street or alley too narrow for the truck to follow.

reply

At one point he tried to approach the driver. The truck moved further away.

reply

Upon further consideration, the driver should have just got out of his car, stood in the middle of the road and punched downward into the asphalt causing a shockwave to radiate out in all directions and disable the truck. Easy peasy.
