Final Destination caused an entire generation of drivers to abjectly refuse to take up any space within a quarter mile behind a log truck.

    For anybody wanting to watch the movie so they understand this meme, don't actually watch Final Destination, because the log scene is not in there. I know this because I watched the whole movie waiting to see it, and never saw it.

    The log scene is in Final Destination 2.

    I've never seen the Final Destination movies, but the one with the tanning bed scene came out when I was in high school.

    ...Interestingly enough, that was right around when the cliquey "cool" girls stopped going to tanning salons in the winter.

    Refuse to? Buddy, I'm hunting for them. I don't have to do this anymore and my family gets a big payout. Sign me up.

    Bad news, the scene was CGI'd because logs don't bounce like that.

    I swear this is just an online meme and people are larping about it being a genuine fear.

    Never seen the movies but I 100% would change lanes to avoid driving behind a log truck. I do it for other trucks, too, if they're carrying what look like barely-strapped-down loads.

    I never even considered that this wouldn't be a common fear lol.
