Some chick at school had a car accident. So that's no big deal, but the conversation turned to vehicle accidents and I obviously made the conversation about me, because who else is important? Anyway, I kind of came to the conclusion that I'm not the safest driver in the world.
I suppose you could categorize me as an 'offensive' driver, because the best defense is a good offense, you know.
Anyway, I've had like 6 that I can count, but only 5 if you don't count the deer that jumped out in front of me. Stupid deer. EDIT: Ok, as I started to list them, it turns out it was a couple more. Whoops.
1. Hit a car pulling out at the end of my street. Minor damage. The view was kind of restricted by some bushes or something. Meh.
2. Hit a dude stopped at a green light. Minor damage. Fucker. On the bright side, I made him spill his coffee all over himself. . Also, this was the dialogue:
Him: "WTF, man! You made me spill my coffee all over myself!"
Me: "Yeah. "
Him: "So, do you have a cell phone to call the cops"
Me: "I have a cell phone. But you're not using it to call the cops. But you're welcome to have my insurance info."
Him. "Grumble grumble."
Ok, moving on.
3. Hit a deer. Fucker just jumped out in front of me. Nothing I could do. Grille and bumper damaged (minor).
4. Hit some dude's truck. Was pulling out of a parking garage and I thought this guy was going to turn into the lane I was coming out of, so I went. He didn't. The corner of my Jeep Wrangler bumper pierced his pickup truck rear passenger fender, ripping out his tail-light having it rattle down the road. I got out, picked it up and walked it over to him and said, "Here's your taillight" I was kind of funny. I ended up buying him off too. Like $500 or something.
5. Got distracted and accidentally took my foot off the clutch, hitting my mother's car parked in front of our house. Broke her license plate light. So that doesn't count.
6. Hit a telephone pole and a mailbox. Not a personal one, one of those blue ones. I probably shouldn't have been reading the for-sale sign in the yard on the corner. Car totaled.
7. Bumped into a chick in front of me at a stop-sign. I was looking down the road, and just kind of figured she went since there was like a quarter mile of empty road, so as I inched forward I found out that she hadn't gone. Oops. Minor damage.
8. Rolled my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Hit a patch of ice and spun around in a 360. Craziness. Ended up in a field on its side, with me hanging in the air as the car was resting on the passenger side door. Awkward. Car totaled, obv.
9. Backed into some dudes car at work. (No damage to me. $700 worth of damage to his shitty car)
10. Going around a curve on a rainy day. Apparently wasn't in 4-wheel drive. Rear end slid out from behind me, which then sent me into the opposite lane of traffic, where I came to rest with my two front wheels against the opposite curb. At which point I was hit broadside by a boxtruck coming the other way. Both cars totaled. There's more to it, but I'm not getting into it here. Here's what my car looked like afterward: http://whatboyswant.com/showcar/29373/1/uploadedby/74340
Anyway, I came to the conclusion today, that I have to admit I'm a shitty driver. I mean, I'd like to think that it's all the other idiots out there, and not me, but the common denominator here seems to be me, so I guess I'll just take it there. I'm pretty sure it's due to my impatience, as I have no patience for anyone, or for being stopped in my car at any time. As long as I'm moving I'm happy. So, anyway, I guess I qualify for the Billy Joel category.
Which one of you idiots is worse than me? Someone? Please?
