almost got run over today
Message posted by: Thomas M.
So I am almost done with my run…heading up the last street before my own. I am on the sidewalk opposite a house where a guy in a big Ford F 1,000,000 is backing out. Where I am is a driveway that goes nowhere since they put a rentention pond in instead of a house, but these people back their cars up on the sidewalk and park there fairly consitently, depite the illegality of blocking a sidewalk. The park across it, not back or front end in it.
Anyway, I am across the street, and see his truck coming at me…not realizing he was coming all the way across…so he keeps coming. Fast. Finally I have to jump off the sidewalk to avoid being a rear bumper ornament. I start pounding on his truck (yes, he was that close!). He rolls down his window and yells, “I didn’t F***ing see you!” There’s a genius statement. I yell that he is not supposed to be on the sidewalk whith his truck. I was seriously hoping he would get out and want to start something because I was ready. I was really pissed. My HRM shot up like a rocket! I have never been so scared in my whole life!
