The light turned, and he went, and I went, but then...he stalled, and it was like slow motion and then before I could really tell what was happening, I had, I suppose, hit him. And then, down he went. I slammed the car in park, ran out, threw up my hands, apologized profusely, and fell to checking out if he was ok. A minute passed where he really said not much of anything, just continued to check his bike and ponder his ok-ness, and then he crossed to the side of the street and I pulled my car over. He kinda pulled up his pant legs, checked his legs, his arms, checked his bike (it worked, no damage) -- and he was totally fine, and then mumbled he was fine...and off he drove. And that was it. The luck Gods were certainly smiling down on me...
I came home, and raced into the living room, and was like, "Stu! You won't even believe what happened to me! I hit a guy on a motorcycle! It was the scariest moment of my life!"
Her response (unexpected to say in the least): "Oh my G_d! Did I tell you what I did last week?! I hit a guy on a bicycle!"
"Umm...But, you don't own a car!"
I guess she hit the guy getting out of a taxi, with the cab door...The cyclist flipped his shit, the cyclist behind him bitched her out, and the cyclist behind HIM pounded on the cab. She then encountered a homeless guy who told her to spread the word to all the white people that he hated white people. I know that's unrelated, but what a sequence of events. Sheesh.
So there you have it: two girls, living in same house, hitting two guys, on two two-wheeled vehicles, less than a week apart. With no injuries, no damage. What are the odds?
