This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As someone with a commercial pilot friend.

They are way too well trained to fall for this prank. If they were able to confuse driving and flying like this they should be on sick leave immediately.

I don't care that someone lied on the internet, that made me laugh loudly in public

Yeah, my first thought as well was that "pulling up" would be pulling the steering wheel back, which wouldn't do anything. Certainly wouldn't swerve the car all the way off the road, you wouldn't want to jerk a plane left or right in that scenario either.

So... definitely made up. But still an amusing greentext.

Would have been a better joke if they had paddle shifters and accidentally yanked hard on both.

And this is how you know it's a lie.
