Wonderful morning this morning.
I was driving my favorite car that I spent years working to be able to afford, only to see it go under another this morning with me in it.
Airbags only suck when the seatbelt fails. Chin to Sternum touching isn't sexy at the speed of which airbags deploy.
Fucker slammed on his breaks at over 45 mph in the rain to take a quick turn. I had no chance to do anything, thank god for witnesses.
I feel bad for them I really do, but the driver looked like he was going to die, I was covered in glass, and looking at their bumper close enough to hit my head on getting out of the car. I felt so bad, until the lady leaned out and called me an S.O.B.
normally, since I am better off, I just take fault to ease the pain of them regardless of whos fault it is. I don't care about the cars, I care about the health of the people involved. I jumped out of my car nose bleeding, both hands went through the dash board due to the failed seatbelt and I took an airbag in the chin-chest, TO GET TO THEIR CAR to see if they where ok, I took the older gentleman out of the car, secured his head and neck and called for an ambulance.
After she made that comment, I was sitting in the parking lot just watching my life flash before my eyes, I thought she was an utter bitch. Luckily two older citizens informed me what they saw and told the police. I feel much better. I do work for the precinct so the police knew me and where very happy I was ok.
I really just didn't need this with everything going on in my life. I mean, I'm doing OK but this just set me back, and the vehicle was the culmination of success over YEARS of work and sacrifice. It was the first "Nice" thing I bought for myself.
Oh well, I relocated my fingers, and checked my nose out. Coughed, dried up. Changed shirts before paramedics got there, towed off the car, and walked to my destination in recollection.
Dunno why I'm sharing it, it just seems this white box is comforting, and this board kinda allows me to be a little goofy even though I know I wouldn't be here if I was going a few mph faster.
Ninjas I tell you. They are EVERYWHERE.
