WTHerk?! I was almost hit **again**. Twice!
There were two right turn lanes; I was in the left right turn lane, and this Ford Windstar was in the right right turn lane. Follow?

So the light changes and we all start turning. Windstar guy decides, mid-turn, to try and merge into my lane right on top of me. Then when I slammed my brakes, I was almost rear-ended by the Dodge Neon sucking my tailpipe from behind.

I think someone put too much stupid serum in the community water this month.

:grr: :banghead:

2. Yeah, I'm fine.
This has been the closest period of time between near accidents for me EVER. Let's hope third time really *isn't* a charm. x(

You are free to take retribution on any of my enemies, tj. :D

:hug:

Thank goodness for that.
Just send me a list of names and addresses - then choose retribution from:

Social vilification,
Broken legs,
Slow tortuous lingering death. :bounce: :bounce :bounce:

Did you have another exam this morning?

5. Heehee, the list is already in the mail.

:D

I did have a test -- on transitional and structural grammar. Crap grammar, and as far as I'm concerned the sole reason why kids who enter college today are barely able to write a proper sentence. x(

But it was easy. :P

edit: Meanwhile, I should learn to spell. :silly:

3. That happens all the time, people don't realize that the
inner turn lane is for typically U-Turns. And some people are just clueless fucks. That's your job to watch out for them. Sucks, but it's true. Welcome to life.

4. I managed to avoid Windstar jerk
but there wouldn't have been anything I could've done about the Neon if he hadn't been paying attention.

6. And, as you and the Neon driver would be left
there at the intersection as Windstar driver happily drove away completely ignorant of the accident they caused.

And Neon guy would've been liable, not you. It's trickle-backwards economics

7. Liable for the damage, yes.
But not for the enormous pain in my ass it would have been to sit there and wait for the cops, and possibly a tow truck depending on the severity of the damage.

9. Perhaps it's time to move.

You've had a lot of those near misses lately. I'm glad you're okay.

10. I can't wait to move.
Terrible drivers are only one of many many reasons. :D :hug:
