VIDEO: Mind the pole, please
Spectacular pole mishap – Click above to watch video
Spending all day blogging from the comfort of our mothers' basements and/or top-secret Dr. No-style lairs, we sometimes forget that there's a world out there filled with people who engage in truly questionable things. And then we get a video like this and we wonder, "Is that really what's going on outside?"
We're not sure what this driver was trying to do, but when he or she decides to kill a pole, they do a commendably thorough job of it. Follow the jump for the security camera footage.

Wow, seeing this, that X5 grandmother wasn't THAT bad of a driver seeing as how one mistake ruined her car and others'. This dude ruined his own car with multiple hits.... was he (more likely a she, why was she out of the kitchen?) drunk?

I don't mean to be a killjoy but this seems staged to me, like a TV commercial.
It seems all too well orchestrated to be real.

Looks like a stolen car to me.

Wow, that is insane.
Somehow I don't find it that surprising based on many drivers I see on our freeways and streets everyday.
I blame that dog running in and out of the scene. He seemed excited.

Im glad people saw her and ran after her. What a dumbass. For a bit there i was hoping she got away just cause she was so determined.

i love to see how you are not even doubting it was a "she" by not including the polite "he/she" in your comments!!! XD

1) Old confused person of either sex
2) Totally drunk/wasted guy
3) Mechanically challenged female

1) old person would get out and not understand what happened.
2) seems too early for a drunk guy but i suppose that's possible
3) female just seems the most likely statistically speaking. maybe even an asian female.

I say it was an elderly drunk woman.
Probably foreign too.

Somehow I think the driver's blood alcohol limit was somewhere north of .10.

More like north of .3 ... Ridiculous.

People who do dumb stuff like this shouldn't be allowed to drive again. Ever.

Now THIS is what they mean when they say "drive it like you stole it". My first guess is "drive it like you stole it because you don't like the person in the RX(?)" that the car seems to have come to this particular parking lot to hit.

Someone just caught her boyfriend cheating and decided to take his car out for a "joyride"?
