I know it’s almost Christmas and I have a ton of things to do today, but I thought I would share what happened to me on the way to work yesterday.\u00a0 The beautiful thing about having a blog is that I get to share my happenings with all of you, not just those that know me!\u00a0 Yesterday on the way to work I was stopped at a red light, the light has two lanes that turn left, when the light turned green I went to turn, and this woman behind me hit the back of my car.\u00a0 It was kinda like when you watch those high speed police pursuits and they try to pit the guy by hitting the back of the car, but at like 5 miles an hour, it’s not as spectacular.\u00a0 I didn’t know what happened at first, I felt the back of my car move and glanced in my rear-view mirror to a woman with a surprised look on her face.\u00a0 I’m thinking WTH just happened?\u00a0 Did she just hit me?\u00a0 Seriously!<\/em>\u00a0 That was my thought process, and the fact that I had to pull over and get out in 5 degree weather.\u00a0 UGH!<\/strong>\u00a0 So, we both got out and I looked at my car…..nothing, except I think she rubbed the salt off my car where she hit me.\u00a0 Her car had scratches on her front fender.\u00a0 That’s the good thing with having a car that was built in 1990, it may rust everywhere, but it is<\/em> made of metal!\u00a0 That’s when they still made cars out of metal.\u00a0 We exchanged what little information I could get out of her, which because English wasn’t her first language, wasn’t much.\u00a0 She was very nice though and I thought, “okay, it wasn’t bad, relax, everything’s fine”.<\/em>\u00a0 Of course for me, nothing is ever “fine”.\u00a0 I called my insurance agency when I got to work, but the woman I needed to speak to was out of the office for the day.\u00a0 Good thing I didn’t have a bad accident because apparently she was the only one who handles accidents, and no one else there does.\u00a0 Um, do you think that’s a good idea?\u00a0 So, I left a nice voice message just letting her know about the accident.\u00a0 I then called the Police Dept. to notify them.\u00a0 I wasn’t sure the procedures because I’ve never had a real accident.\u00a0 According to the Police, I guess I still hadn’t had a real accident.\u00a0 Because I have no damage, no one was hurt, and the other woman hit me, it’s not considered a “real accident”.\u00a0 So I had a pretend accident.\u00a0 Okay, I can handle that, NBD.\u00a0 Over and done with…..that is until I received the following message from the woman from the pretend accident…vrec005<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you kidding me?\u00a0 You hit the back of my car with the front of your car?\u00a0 Seriously!!!!\u00a0 How has this whole thing changed to me hitting you?\u00a0 LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!!!<\/strong>\u00a0 Stupid Toyota Garage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
