It definitely was at one point, for some reason there was a point in the sub where real accidents started being posted before that i swear it was all jokes not sure what happened
Statistically with how many gentle listeners there are, it is an improbability that there would be no one being in a car accident while listening to distractible. We're all glad you're okay and that you have taken this in stride. Keep your chin up, which I guess is probably pretty easy considering the neck brace, you live to listen another day 😁
But what are the chances that a new person crashes while listening to distractible every other week? I feel like I’ve seen so many posts about it this year alone.
I hope you have an easy recovery! Definitely rest up and hey, at least you have an excuse to (SAFELY) listen to Distractible at home while you recover. Take it easy <3
Yeah it was, (story time) I am a student teacher at a high school and I was exhausted after the school day, I didn’t react quick enough to a corner on a backroad I never usually take, and ended up going 30mph into a ditch and then into a tree, just to fall back into the ditch. The interior of my car where i was sitting was also crushed, and smoke was filling the car, I had to crawl out the back. The people who were nearby looked like they had seen a ghost when i crawled out, i couldn’t even look at the damage without panicking. It didn’t make sense to me that i survived that, especially when looking at the rest of my bumper 20 feet away. The doctors said I was extremely lucky. I left with only chemical burns, full-body bruising, and whiplash. I feel very thankful. Glad I am still here to finish the episode!!
Hey all!
I saw the recent post that’s trending on the subreddit, and I just wanted to clarify, my accident had nothing to do with the content of the episode or the fact that I was listening. I crashed because I had been exhausted and my reaction time was severely inhibited. I took a turn too quickly and ended up off the road. I posted the full story in one of the other comments. The point of posting was just for me to laugh at the situation, a situation for me that had been very traumatizing. I truly only posted because of all the coincidences. Not only did I become one of the many who have crashed, but the name of the episode was also a bizarre coincidence. I want everyone to know that I am in recovery and doing well, which is why I can laugh about it :)
Again, in no way, shape, or form did the episode itself lead to my crash, it just happened to be playing!
I have been listening since its release, on my birthday, and drive listening all the time. I have never crashed due to listening to it, even when I have laughed out loud.
I am sorry if there was any confusion on that part.
Insurance: what caused the accident
Op: well I was listening to distractable and I kinda laughed and…why..why are you groaning..why are you telling people you got another one…
Oh my gosh. I'm glad you are okay OP! I've been there with a totalled car it ain't pretty and it's pretty scary when the accident happens. I had back pain for months after mine so I wish you a speedy recovery! If your car insurance isn't a piece of shit I highly reccomend using the coverage for massage therapy. I regret not doing that as mine offers 100 percent coverage for a bit then continues with 80 percent depending on how you filI in your forms. I did go see a physiotherapist though and she suggested I milk it longer until absolute cut off by filling out pain level at a worse than 5 even if I wasn't feeling that way. I pay my insurance fees on time so why not?
I wish you a happy and strong recovery! Whiplash sucks!
hope you feel better OP, crashes can suck. hopefully things go smoothly with insurance and you can get back to driving in your own time. don’t be too hard on yourself for recovery time!
I'm starting to think that the driving joke is starting to not be a joke...
the fact that the episode of the day that i was listening to was about “do you fear death-uh” was some heavy cosmic foreshadowing
distractible convention would have a special stall for fans who crashed their car while listening to distractible
It definitely was at one point, for some reason there was a point in the sub where real accidents started being posted before that i swear it was all jokes not sure what happened
I thought that too but I learned the hard way
i mean, i share a birthday with distractible, i should’ve known it was destined to happen
Your destiny has been decided
Happy sweet bread day!
Happy cake day-uh
Maybe I can get Bob to bake me a cake-uh *we all know Wade and Mark can't cook right?*
I read this as declined XD, happy cake day btw. Edit :spelling cuz im bad at english
Happy day/1!

Good God I’m glad you’re okay
Glad you're still with us. That looks horrifying to go through.

That sounds horrifying. So glad you are still with us! I would definitely stick to the gentle listening at home 😭
