javin22 07-31-2011 03:51 PM

EEeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww! :shock:

MinnieKat 07-31-2011 03:57 PM

OMG! Why wouldn't she stop the car!!

RenaB 07-31-2011 03:58 PM

That would have freaked me out because I do not care for snakes, however, call me strange, I would have pulled over and let it get off into the grass or woods, not splatted on the highway.

bjeriann 07-31-2011 04:02 PM

OMG!!

wolfkitty 07-31-2011 04:03 PM

Glad I wasn't driving! Make that - good thing I wasn't driving! Yikes! :thumbdown:

p.s. I hate snakes, too, but yes, would have pulled over and waited for it to crawl off.

alikat110 07-31-2011 04:10 PM

Yikes. I'da had to jump out and inspect the inside!!!

Painiacs 07-31-2011 04:17 PM

Lucky they didnt freak and crash!!

Scrap Happy 07-31-2011 04:35 PM

:shock: :shock: :shock: Lucky they could keep their eyes on the road.

Diana Lynne 07-31-2011 05:08 PM

Not sure how I would of reacted ..Freaked out for sure though if it happened to me :lol:

amma 07-31-2011 06:57 PM

Jim's Gem 07-31-2011 08:05 PM

EEEEWWWWWWWWwwwwwwww!!!!!

CloverPatch 07-31-2011 08:13 PM

I can't be so mean.. i would have pulled over, poked it with a stick if I had to. But not let it fly inot the road to get sqished

sewnsewer2 07-31-2011 08:16 PM

She handled it a lot better than I would have!! I would have freaked out, stopped the car and ran! :lol:

khurtdvm 07-31-2011 08:46 PM

I didn't watch the video - just read the story. But it wouldn't bother me to drive the car again. ;) Though I would do a detailed check of the car for any other hitchhikers!

Maybe she didn't have anywhere to get off to let the snake safely slither off....

Naturalmama 07-31-2011 09:40 PM

I would've pulled over - I'm not afraid of snakes, but to see this thing come out of the hood would be too much distraction!!!

quiltingcandy 07-31-2011 10:29 PM

It was amazing she never pulled over to let it off the vehicle. My fear would have been there were more.

cheri62 08-01-2011 01:05 AM

Oh my lands, I am terrified of snakes I wouldnt have been able to drive...........

sew_southern 08-01-2011 02:11 AM

Wow! I would've had to pull over or else wreck the car!

I just hate snakes, I don't know if I could have continued driving down the road or not with that thing on there.

luv2so 08-01-2011 03:48 AM

OMG! NOPE! Would not ever drive that car again because I'm petrified of snakes, would have either had an accident and totaled the car or an instant heart attack!!

Hate snakes.

mcar 08-01-2011 03:51 AM

I thought she remained quite calm. I'd be hysterical. I know stopping the car and getting a stick for it to wrap around would be good, but that would put the snake too close for comfort....anyway the husband would have to do it getting out the other door and it was not clear that he would take care of THINGS!

jitkaau 08-01-2011 04:19 AM

Rather irrational behaviour - I wonder if they checked for babies in the car?

DebbieJJ 08-01-2011 04:34 AM

That's why I always make sure my windows are closed...I'm afraid they'll get inside! Thank goodness this one was on the outside....but I do wonder if maybe they could get in thru the air vents....you never know!

Same here! I'm not fond of snakes but I'm also not in favor of hurting one. She put herself and family at risk by being distracted by this snake and, by the possibility that the snake might have found a way into the car while she's driving. What would she have done then? Freaked out, probably. Stupid!

CarrieAnne 08-01-2011 04:38 AM

Ew!

patchsamkim 08-01-2011 04:44 AM

Just reading the responses here I know I can't even watch this video..I absolutely hate snakes and don't know what I would do if there was one in my car...well I do know...I would freak out...be off the road so fast, out of my car and wait for someone to come and help. I did have a mouse in a car years ago and that was bad enough.

Stitchit123 08-01-2011 04:53 AM

I would not pull over-I'd roll up the windows Turn on the wipers and speed up to at least 90 mph and pray it gets blown off Then NEVER park my car in that spot again and if it was at home I'd move I am not a big fan of snakes I would drive the car again after it was bagged and exterminated :)

vivoaks 08-01-2011 05:24 AM

Ewwww!!

michelehuston 08-01-2011 05:33 AM

EWWWW!!! I would have pulled over..but hope I didn't freak out & get into an accident first!!!

Me too, and I am so very scared of snakes.

mhansen6 08-01-2011 06:43 AM

That would give me a heart attack. I am deathly afraid of snakes.

Thumbelina 08-01-2011 07:27 AM

OMG, there would be a FOR SALE sign on that car sooo fast. I could never get back in there.

luvstoquilt 08-01-2011 08:07 AM

Yikes! Wonder where its friend was? I am terrified of snakes and I HATE bugs!

Minnisewta 08-01-2011 08:09 AM

I would have pulled over and when it hit the ground I would run it over about 20 times. Hate, hate snakes!

Jersey Gal 08-01-2011 09:06 AM

No way. I probably would have had a heart attack.
