Friday evening at 5:15 on 395 south, rush hour traffic raining slightly ,right by the Pentagon.
Traffic was flowing fine, I was going 50mph, then all of sudden EVERYONE was slamming on their brakes. I then see why. A F*CKING drifter was walking a bike across 4 lanes of highway traffic. He wasn't riding it, he was freaking walking it.My lane was the last one he had to cross. I hit my brakes, and keep in mind it's drizzling, so what happens? That's right, I slide, going about 10mph into the guy. He hits my driver fender, mirror, and outside pillar. He goes flying a good 10 feet, and his bike goes about 15 feet into the shoulder of the highway.
I jump out of my car and call 911, and as soon as I get off the phone with them, he is getting up and dusting himself off. He tells me about 20 times to not call the cops, and that he is fine. He gets on his bike, puts his hat on takes off on the exit ramp. I'm not believing what I'm seeing. I'm still in shock over what just happened, and nobody else even stopped.
About 6 cops come, ambulance, fire truck, whole shebang. And ask where the pedestrian is, I'm like 'He left.' The can't believe it. They radio back to dispatch and tell them that the pedestrian has left, dispatch calls back and asks 'do you mean the motorists has left the scene?'
They laugh about the whole thing, and two cars take off looking for the guy. I get a blank piece of paper that I have to fill out myself for a police report(WTF?!?!?).
So end damage:
A broken mirror(easily fixed, I just have to buy the molding color bracket thing that holds the mirror onto the car.)
A slightly dented hood(again easily fixed, as it's a smooth dent that'll pop right out)
A dented pillar(that wont' be as easy
)
Some small chips in the bottom of the bumper.
Yesterday, me and my friend are detailing cars and the women forgot to close the garage door, and her freaking huge ass german shepard(aptly named Sargeant) runs out at us barking like a mad dog, jumps on my friend and was about to rip his throat out. Women called him off just in time though Then we get locked out of our new house last night and have to sit outside with the mosquitos attacking us for like 2 hours.
I need a vacation. :thumbsdow
