Here's a fun story to start your week off... I'm driving to set in my pick up truck - music blasting - I'm singing away like I'm having a one man party in my truck - then I hear a loud BANG. What the hell..? Look in my rear view and see I sideswiped another pick up that was parked in the street and destroyed the side mirror. First thing I thought was, "Aw shit.. someone's not gonna be happy..". I flipped a U-turn and drove back to scene. Just as I got out of my truck a guy was walking across the street to his truck. I said "Sir, is this your truck?". He stopped and stared at me for a good 5 seconds, looked around his neighborhood, looked back at me and "Yes it is. Why?". I said "Well, sorry to tell ya I sideswiped it and knocked the hell outta your mirror and may have done even more damage. You give me your info and I'll leave you mine and I'll take care of everything". He stared at me again, cocked his head sideways and said.."Uhhh.. Are you The Rock?". I said "Yup". He broke out into a huge smile and said "Wow, this is gonna be an awesome story!". I started belly laughing at that, then he started laughing and before you know it we're both standing in the middle of the street pointing to his mirror and laughing like two ol' crazy buddies. I checked back in with him a few days later and he refused to accept any money and said he fixed the damage himself. Want to thank Mr. Audie Bridges of Wakefield, Mass. for being so cool about the whole thing. Life is funny cause you never know who you're gonna run into... and sure as hell never know who's truck you're gonna sideswipe while driving to work.

"The Rock" shows real class.
ReplyDelete3:17 By not paying attention to his driving? Real classy.
ReplyDelete4:03 class as in he didn't take advantage of the older man, and took care of damage himself. Duh. Accidents happen.
ReplyDeleteFunny you say Duh. You see, if you could read, you would know that it was the older man who had class by not making a fuss and fixed it himself. But, thanks for showing how much class you lack with the duh.
DeleteWould Mr. Audie have been as pleasant had the driver been you or me? Or perhaps a person with his pants down? Sometimes it just depends on who you is.
ReplyDeleteWhois therock?
ReplyDelete7:25 Guess you haven't watched television or movies in the last 20 years. Just one of the biggest action movies stars of today.
ReplyDelete5:31 Maybe or maybe not. I guess it would all depend how Mr Audie was treated by that person. Maybe it is not who you "is" but how you treat others.
