I have a lot of bad driving stories (such as, the one where I hit a car during the driver's test, or the one where I flicked my bean while driving in the middle of the night), but this is by far the worst.

I went over to my mom's house on my way back from work earlier to steal some food from her fridge. I hung out for a bit after loading my face with mac and cheese, and she asked me to pick up my stepdad's prescription from CVS. I was fine with that, but I was low on gas, so I asked if I could borrow her gigantic SUV. She said that would be okay.

My stepbrother and I got in the SUV, which my car was parked behind. I decided to just do what everyone else in the family does, and just go in the yard and drive around it, instead of going through all the trouble to back my car out. It was hard to maneuver such a large SUV through the yard. Unfortunately, I had forgotten about something very important that was in the yard, until I felt the car hit it.

My stepbrother and I quickly got out, and saw that the SUV had hit the power box. We started freaking out, and went inside, where the power was out.

Long story short, the fire department and LG&E had to come over, and the most of the neighborhood lost power. Also, Orchard Grass Hills' Facebook was blowing up with middle aged women asking where the power went.

So yes. My bad driving caused nearly the entire city of Orchard Grass Hills and some of Poplar Hill to lose power.

Here is a picture from my stepdad's Facebook featuring part of the page where everyone was freaking out about the power outage. Terry (the last commenter) is my stepdad. Lol.
