Flor-idiots...As Kash and Triston would say
So there we were, pimped out, ready for the beach, ready for the sun, ALMOST there. When it happens...Our first encounter with an authentic Flor-idiot (aka Floridian). There's an old school grand am in front of me and and old man on the side street. A very confused old man who "lived here is whole life" but yet couldn't seem to remember that the street he was attempting to turn right on was a ONE WAY street, and not in his way. So as he slams into the grand am in front of me, I attmept to avoid the collision unsuccessfully. After crashing into his passenger side door I could feel the RAGE running through my veins. When I stepped out of my car to assess the damage I had to take a few deep breaths and perform a quick temper check. When Court opened her door glass fell inside, and after further inspection it was found all over the roof, in the bug guard, and all over the hood. A police officer immediately responded and spent the next hour and a half hashing out the details of the accident, which were...
1. Old asshole in Altima responsible for whole thing
2. Young guy in 80's reject car possesses no insurance and no title on his 'new' car
3. Young guy's 'girlfriend' has to be checked out by EMT, since she is pregnant, meanwhile her two children are running around the parking lot
4. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
5. Shit for brains tow truck driver attempts to exploit me since I am of course a helpless female, by telling me some 'thingy' on my wheel wasn't working properly.
6. Shit for brains tow truck driver tries my patience. I inform him sternly that I will be driving my Durango home and if the wheel falls off while I'm driving down the road, that will be my problem.
7. The old girl is quite drivable only cosmetic damage.
8. I get a preliminary police report and am instructed to pick up an official one at the police station in a few days for a small fee of $2
9. I obtain police report only to find to my dismay, Old fuck-off had expired insurance
10. I report accident to my insurance today and fax over the Police Report ( it's fully covered, woohoo)
For all the bitching I was doing in my head about how expensive gas was, I sure was relieved to walk away from two totalled out cars with a slightly dented fender, busted grill guard, and trashed plastic bumper. All in all not too bad, could have always been worse.
So take your lessons hard and stay with him
When your car crash comes, don't be misled
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
p.s. this whole fucking ordeal happened in front of a freaking Wendy's! damn the irony
♥Oh, so vintage... 9:40 PM
