Question Close calls for my s2k today!

Ever had one of those days where it seems like everyone is trying to hit your s2k?

Today was my day

Got off work, sun was shining, a hot 55 degrees! Top was down and I'm pulling out of my parking spot and get into the right lane where I then stop to exit out and I see this beat up old truck with some crazy unshaven hill billy dude or something. Hes barreling right towards me head on in my lane and not even noticing me! I mean hes reading something in his lap or looking down but hes getting closer and closer at 10mph or so. I have no time to ge tout of the way because I'm not even in gear! I honk and at the last second he looks up and swerves and all I hear is "ing ........." the rest was garbled out cause apparently his bum looking self can't speak right. then he parks just several feet away at this 7-11 alley since its located next to my work. I'm about to turn around and yell at him but I decide not to. So that disturbs me on the way home and I try to shake it off.

I get off the freeway exit, and on a main road. About a mile down is a large intersection.
I'm going straight finally feeling better and I see this white beat up truck (some maintanence company) trying to make a right turn into the lane next to me since we have 2 lanes which is not good. To turn right properly from that road you need both 2 lanes. The inner lane does not have enough space and everyone always hits this phone pole which is halfway in splinters because of this. Damn city....

Well the guy does this and is like "shitttttt" and swerves toward me and I swerve toward the incoming lane which had no cars coming in and got out the way......

On the way home I notice a black cat in the road!! to late I guess lol.

The final thing was after the gym. I drive towards the parking lot exit andsome one almost hits me when they try to g tout of there parking space. They weren't looking out the back window or paying attention.

Crazy day but my baby is still in one piece

Glad to hear they were all "almosts"!

I thought I was gonna get popped the other night. I was the first car in the middle lane at a red light and sitting completely stopped when I happen to look up and see a POS burgundy S-10 come flying from the left lane into the middle lane screaming up behind me.

I immediately popped it into first and scooted forward to give him some extra room, and the focker actually kept coming like he was trying to hit me. I almost had to edge into the intersection and even then he could've flicked a booger on my trunk he was so close.

I hate people.

Yep I also hate it when people think they can squeeze by you in a one lane road when your waiting to make a left turn and they are behind you and they want to go right. I mean the # of times I have freaked because the owners are trying to squeeze by you barely to save a few seconds....
