I have this bad habit of using the heel of my driving foot as a pivot, swinging from brake to gas. I wear a 13 so sometimes my foot gets caught on both the brake and gas.
Leaving work yesterday, there was a Dodge Ram in front of me at the stop sign. I came to a complete stop behind him and then "BANG"! My foot slips and bump ol boy.
We pull over to survey the damage. Not that bad. I gave him my insurance info, shook his hand and told him I was sorry, then we drove off.
I called my wife and told her what happened (hands free, of course
). While I was talking, I got two txt msg from this guy but I didn't read the txt cuz I'm driving.
Then, this guy calls me. This is how it went:
Guy: sir, I am so sorry! I feel like an arse! I was just upset and venting to my wife. I didn't mean to send that to you. You're twice my size and I'd appreciate it if you didn't beat up one me. We can handle this another way, sir.
Now at this time, I had no ideal what he was talking about until I opened up his txt he sent:
"I got f'n rear ended on my way home! Sorry sack of sh*t said his foot "slipped" off the brake..... Bull sh*t, he f'n nailed me!!!"
So I read the txt out loud while on the phone. It got real quite!
Then he goes off saying how stupid and sorry he was. I couldn't get this ol boy off the phone!
But I reassured him I was a Christian and that he was safe from any bodily harm inflicted by me.
He continue to apologized.
I told him to get an estimate and we'll go from there.
Technology can be a blessing or a curse!
