Sounds like something a cat owner would make up to say how great cats are.
I say it’s definitely a crock because he isn’t sky diving naked so the cats are for the most part dug into his clothes/suit, not his skin. But in their glee to make up a story about how great cats are and what a jerk a non cat lover is, they fucked up.
Also ‘he took 4 stray cats up in a pillowcase’??? Wtf. Anyone not realise thats completely impossible to first of all round up 4 cats, then get them in a pillowcase nice and calm so you can get in a plane and go skydiving?

it’s pretty straightforward…someone went the wrong way down an offramp and joined the highway going the wrong way. Happens everywhere, every day. Happened to me once. I was in the passing lane of a 2 lane in each direction highway, and there were cars beside me when a guy in a ford explorer came over the horizon in my lane going 60 mph or so, head on. I squeezed to the right in my lane as much as I could without running the other car off the road, and the ford squeezed by. It was pretty intense for about 4 seconds. There were 4 of us in a van on a golf trip. Could have wiped us off the face of the earth in a flash.
I see, so it’s common for people to mistakenly enter the highway the wrong way on an off-ramp and instead of pulling over onto the shoulder and slowly backing up along the off-ramp along the shoulder, they just tell themselves, “meh, fuck it, I’ll just keep driving instead of pulling over. And while I’m here, I might as well switch to the passing lane and speed up to highway speeds because, you know, highway.”
No I don’t think they’re conscious that they’re going the wrong way. They’re literally just confused and think people coming head on at them are just passing dangerously in teh confused person’s lane. Liike the vid you posted…the driver going the wrong way probably thought the Audi was passing the truck in a passing zone. Had no idea he was going the wrong way on a major thoroughfare.
Unless you’re in China where driving the wrong way on the highway is totally normal. People literally just say ‘fuck it, this traffic sucks, I’m getting on the other way and going in the wrong direction’
Agree with Sakimano here, it does happen more often than one might think. Happened to my brother when he was car pooling in a rented van from an airport at like 2am at night. He was driving in a left lane out of two lane highway each way divided by small strip of grass. And bam a guy flying head on him, so he swerved onto grass divider and barely avoided head on collision. Couldn’t tell he was in his lane till almost last second since its night and all. Fucker didn’t even slow down and just kept on going in the left lane wrong way. Very lucky to be alive!
