captain_slinkySo who's the luckies bastard in the entire UNIVERSE? Me! A bitchy lady in an SUV rammed in to my drivers-side door while I was coming out of the Jack In The Box parking lot. The door and the front wheels are pretty much wasted, but I'm still alive! The only problems are a headache and a back ache, both of which have been checked by an ER Doctor (5 hours we waited in the ER for a doctor to look at me, by the way). The doc says I'm fine, but I'll be sore for the next few days. It's not supposed to sink in till tomorrow morning.
Anyway, more about the wreck.
The lady who hit me was the coldest bitch I've ever encountered! I thought people like her were only found in TV shows and movies, but aparently they also live right in Lynnwood, Washington! My first action was to get out of my car (an Herculean effort because the door was mangled) and check to see if she was alright. When i got to her SUV and motioned for her to roll down her window, she was already on her cell phone. She rolled down the window a crack and I said "Is everyone okay?" Without looking at her passengers or anything, she just said "Of course" and rolled her wndow back up, totaly ignoring me. Finally her husband came out and said "She's calling the police right now".
WHen the Sherrif got there was my time to shine. he bitch-lady jumped out of her vehicle and spinted to the squad car, rattlng off her story as fast as she could. I hung back and aknowledged the officer. She went on and on about how this wasn't her fault, and just look at all this damage (her front bumper was a bit crunched), and the Sherrif went "Huh... yeah. And you, sir... where is the damage on your OH MY GOD! ARE YOU OKAY?"
Aparently, the damage done to our car looks a lot worse than the damage done to the SUV.
The sherrif explained to us that she wasn't going to write up a ticket because the acident happened in the parking lot which is private property. This set off the bitchy woman. "Are you telling me you're going to do nothing? You need to give him a ticket! You need to--I don't know what you need to do, but i want it done NOW!"
THe Sherrif continued. "Well 'mam, because it's private property here, your insurance companies will have to hammer it out between themselves. However, I can tell you tat if this had happened on a City street... well, 'mam, I'd be giving *you* the citation here. It's pretty obvious frm wher eyou impacted his car that you would have had ample time to stop, r at least not hit as hard as you did."
This shut the bitchy woman up.
We exchanged insurance info (by the way, we've only been insured for 6 days), I went to pick up Crystal, and we went to the hospital so I could be checked out.
So sure we're without a car right now, but (a)I'm ALIVE, (b)I was INSURED, and (c)I got to witness some rich-bitch snobby woman who doesn't have the time to even say "Oops, sorry I hit you and nearly killed you" get put in her place by an actual officer of the law!
