I got hit by a Van today.

Ever do something innocent and nice and then pay the price for it? I just did. Was loading some stuff into my trunk at a local mall parking lot. A soccermom in her minivan was accross the way and was trying to back out. So I decide to be nice and help her out by guiding her. Only, as she backs out her shoe apparently gets stuck on the accelerator...and I get caught between the car, the minivan and the shopping cart i was unloading. Fortunately the shopping cart took the brunt of the hit but I did get a good scare as the van started pushing me into the van. I screamed like one of those Bond Villains who get run over by a steamroller. So now I sit here with a pretty damn big bruise on my leg and the painkillers are working their magic. And I'm supposed to be moving out in 3 days.

So whats the point of this thread? Livejournal couldn't contain this story. Myspace couldn't handle it. I'm too cheap to own a Something Awful account. So I came to TNL. Don't be stupid and do something nice for a soccer mom. Oh and soccer moms shouldn't be allowed to drive (period, but if they must) with high heeled shoes that can get caught on the accelorator.

...least you're alive.

Aww, but you're her little hero now. That's its own reward, but you never know in what other ways it'll pay off.

At least the stupid lady died after you sued the shit out of her.

Bahn, I'm pleased I'm alive, don't get me wrong. Nick, shes not that type of soccer mom. Finch, I don't know how viable a lawsuit would be, since I was waving her back. It's not like she decided to just plow into me on purpose.

You don't know that.

Tell her your neck hurts and you want $$$$.

Also, rename this thread to "I was hit by a cart that was hit by a Van today."

i was bruised by cart mart

I'd sue the lady unless shes willing to pay the medical bills out of her pocket. She should also pay to get a moving company.
