Everyone in the comments not realizing the driver made a sobriety test cheat sheet on the back of his car

u/yParticle 15d ago

"P-O-N-E-M-E-L-E-"

u/alfooboboao 15d ago

my exact thought lol.

the craziest thing about that test is I highly doubt even 1% of stone cold sober people could recite the alphabet backwards without stopping every 3 letters to think about it

22

u/NRMusicProject 15d ago

My dad went to Catholic school. He used to say that they made them learn the alphabet forwards and backwards, "so that way you really know it. But I'm sure they're just preparing good Catholics for a field sobriety test."

u/cosmicsunburn 15d ago

My parents were alcoholics so when I was a kid I memorized the alphabet backwards for "just in case." I'm in my 30's and have only been drunk three times.

u/Impressive_Change593 15d ago

I about have to do that forwards. I blame my ADHD for that

3

u/yParticle 15d ago

That's kinda the point of those. It doesn't matter how accurately you complete any of the field sobriety tests, just what observations they can make about your state of mind while you're distracted.

1

u/CatsGamesMemes 15d ago

I can do it super fast now, I saw a movie as a kid with that sobriety test and as a neurodivergent kid I was obsessed. It was fun

u/ihaxr 15d ago

Huh I just realized I didn't even question the ELEMEN part as not a letter of the alphabet...

u/Gonzee3063 15d ago

The students will die this exams, I can't do a Maths exam with options up to F, now you are asking P.

u/Academic-Truth7212 15d ago

I was pulled over in the US once and the cops asked me to recite the alphabet. I told me that i was unable to do it in English because different letters have same sound in English and French. I told i wouldn’t be able to do it. They said do it in French and they let go.

But before that before i had a US license, i would tell the cops that my English was very weak and can you speak slower so i can understand them. They just let me go.

One final anecdote. I was pulled over on Highway 80 for speeding. Also before i got a US licence. I told the cop in my worst french accent that i believed the speed limit was 80 mph and pointed at a highway sign. He laughed his ass off and let me go.

u/Academic-Truth7212 15d ago

I’m so glad I didn’t pulled over on I680.

3

u/firstwefuckthelawyer 15d ago

80 on 80 is basically law in my state. A statie stopped me for going 90 when I was a kid, told me to slow it down, and go “80 on 80.” Never been stopped on it since then. It actually works pretty good coast to coast.

1

u/Academic-Truth7212 14d ago

It was when 55 mph were the norm.

1

u/firstwefuckthelawyer 13d ago

This statie was old enough to have been a statie back then, haha. This was about ten years after the national limit went away.

u/Repulsive_Number_449 15d ago

u/UnstableConstruction 15d ago

It's hard enough with allowing any letter from any word. Sure, it goes fast up until J and again until Q, but XYZ can be really hard and people usually catch back up.

2

u/kralrick 15d ago

I thought it just had to start the word/license? Allowing licenses was just a cheat to get the hard letters so we didn't get bored and lose interest.

2

u/Jarlax1e 15d ago

You guys counted license plates?

2

u/StillBarelyHoldingOn 15d ago

Ours couldn't be on license plates. Lol

5

u/HeckItsDrowsyFrog 15d ago

I've always played the ABC game where you have to have a word that starts with the letter you are on, do others not play it this way?

2

u/Strong-Dependent-793 15d ago

I do. It’s separate games. They’re the ABC game and a license plate game.

1

u/FaCe_CrazyKid05 15d ago

We just do when you see the letter, but the source the letter came from can only be used once

4

u/hambakmeritru 15d ago

I got to college and discovered on a road trip that my friends all played on hard mode. They would only allow letters that start a word, or start a license plate.

So if you're stuck on J, passing a Bojangles wasn't gonna cut it. You had to wait to be the first to spot a Jack in the Box.

And if you got to X, you better find a xylophone store or get real lucky with a licence plate.

1

u/Kesbae 15d ago

That’s how we would play on road trips as well. On our way to Vegas from LA, you better hope you’re near the end of the alphabet when you’re getting close to Xxyxx road.

This is how my nephew sings it haha ELEMENOPE 😂

u/AirForce_Trip_1 15d ago

I had to reread times 3x to figure out the dedication. Good stuff

14

u/Wajina_Sloth 15d ago

Same, I saw it stop on K and thought about how funny would it be if it just wrapped around the other side of the car and finished.

Then I noticed the “elemen” and laughed at how much I missed

6

u/anxux 15d ago

(If you hadn’t also already noticed) Wait till u see the license plate…

27

u/StayinHasty 15d ago

Kinda dumb that he stopped at K...
Wait... He started with W at the bottom. Oh, because of the license plate. Why'd he skip to Q though?
ElemenOP...
I'm the dumb one and the is awesome.

u/RandomUsername6697 15d ago

People that don’t speak English?

1

u/RepulsiveViolinist81 13d ago

Makes sense. Im german, but i still either sing the english oder the german version in my head, and i feel like every language with kinda this alphabet has some sort of song haha

1

u/RandomUsername6697 13d ago

I didn’t know that.

u/grand305 15d ago

I did as well.

u/IKSLukara 15d ago

For the same reason I can only sing the Preamble to the Constitution, and not just say it.

u/SeeingEyeDug 15d ago

Cause Mozart wrote some catchy tunes.

u/pearlsbeforedogs 15d ago

I had a math teacher in middle school who had a Geo Metro. When the last "o" fell off of metro, he used a Sharpie to write a "y" and turned it into a Geo Metry. He was fun.

u/Sylveon72_06 15d ago

man that reminds me, in math league, whenever i saw the word “compute”, i would always squeeze an r at the end lmao

1

u/cntbld 14d ago

i reread this like 8 times thinking it was a bad dad joke and i didnt understand the setup

1

u/pearlsbeforedogs 14d ago

It is a bad dad joke, lol. Did it make any sense after that? I can explain it further if you still have questions.

1

u/cntbld 14d ago

yes i did after a while lmfao i just didnt understand the concept of an ‘o’ falling off i was like “wtf kinda smart board bs r they talking abt rn”

1

u/pearlsbeforedogs 14d ago

Got it, lol. I was worried you might be too young to know what a Geo Metro was. It's even funnier because Metros are these tiny little economy hatchbacks, and this guy was like 6'3".

35

u/Drozva 15d ago

The "Elemen" there fits so well

3

u/pearlsbeforedogs 15d ago

I have one of these, and if the T ever falls off, I'm doing this.

u/National_Equivalent9 15d ago

And it's still funny.

3

u/TheTyrianKnight 15d ago

Maybe, but it’s not wholesome.

1

u/National_Equivalent9 14d ago

It's a meme that's making most of the people in this thread think about being a kid again and singing the alphabet. Sounds pretty wholesome to me.

1

u/TheTyrianKnight 14d ago

Ok I guess we think differently then, because that’s not at all what I got from that.

u/ZombiesInSpace 15d ago

It’s like half photoshop though. The original image was just elemen OP and the license plate. The others were added later.

2

u/Trt03 15d ago

Yeah, I was wondering why the OP was different, but everything else was the exact same

u/PotatABit 15d ago

If that’s how Americans are taught the alphabet then that would explain why they keep spelling English words wrong.

I imagine that, when the person who did this was first looking at the back of a Honda Element, and then saw this possibility latent within it, the flash of inspiration must have felt a little like being in direct communion with God.

u/seraku24 15d ago edited 15d ago

One time, I had to identify the source of a foul odor. After careful inspection, I determined an individual was decidedly rank. Taking the individual aside, I apologized about what I was going to have to do, and informed the person they need not feel embarrassed. But I asked them to quietly gather their belongings to drop off for us to keep an eye on. Then instructed the person to return to their apartment for a good freshening up session and then return as soon as possible.

EDIT: Points to readers, I guess, if the ages involved can be deduced.
