So You Just Gonna Run? - Day 9

OK, so the other day I was driving up a majorly busy road on my way to the gas station. I was driving on fumes so you better believe I was ecstatic to spot a station just a few feet away. I've been to this station many, many times so I knew exactly where it was.

Anyway, as I was applying my breaks to make a right turn into the parking lot a car from behind hit me in the rear! I couldn't believe it. Mind you I had my blinker on so there was no doubt of my intentions. I pull into the parking lot to get out of the way of the traffic behind me and the idiot keeps going! I was completely stunned that this fool would hit and run like that.

What was really great, however, was that there were witnesses to what happened. Two guys came to me and told me who it was and gave me a description of the car. It would have been easy for me to find this person because the car he was driving indicated he was on his was to the car dealership less then a mile up the same street.

I surveyed the damage and determined that there was absolutely no damage done to my car so I just dropped the whole thing because I thought I would have looked foolish making a big deal out of nothing really.

Then hours and days passed and the more I thought about it the more I felt I should have confronted the dweeb to let him know I could find him and that people had ratted him out so that he would realize for future reference that he could not hit and run because someone somewhere will always see what happened.

Next time this sort of thing happenes you better believe I and going to stop right where I am so the person won't have a chance to run.

Don't forget to stay tuned for tomorrow's post!
