SHITTY WEEK: Car Wreck
12 years ago
Yep. K and I got rear-ended this morning. Details up ahead-
This week, new as it is, is shaping up to be utter garbage. Looking forward to-
Possibly going into the red before my wife's payday on Friday (remember those bills I yammered about when I opened for commissions? Of course not, nobody reads journals past if slots are open or not. Well anyway, pile of sudden bills. Day before payday. Etc etc.), there's been an issue trying to refill her prescription for a vital medicine, I'm having my own mental issues it seems, AND THEN? OH YEAH. GOT FUCKING REAR-GODDAMN-ENDED ON THE WAY TO THE FUCKING TRAIN THIS MORNING.
Gahhh, WE are okay and the car's frame isn't fucked up. Normally I'd be harping on the silver linings, it's just- guhhh! SHITTY SHIT SHIT FUCKING DICKS.
This morning has been a fucking conspiracy by life to get me to want to throw myself in front of a bus, I swear. If I write in later that I fell down the stairs, don't be surprised. Some gremlin the universe has beset on me surely pushed me.
First we got stuck behind our stupid cow of a neighbor in her massive SUV she has for 2 kids, rocking it ghetto fabulous down the road at 17 miles an hour allllllll the way to the highway. Narrow residential roads so we're unable to pass her slow ass. Joy, now let's see if I can make the harrowing sprint to get K to the train before it departs.
More slow assholes- it's misting a weeeee bit of rain. But in Maryland that's the end of the world traffic-wise. Get to the intersection near the station, have to stop because this guy is flyyyying across the bridge, rockets past us. And then the moment-
Me: "Jesus- that guy was flying. I'm glad I didn't try to beat him."
K: "Yeah. Well at least the train's not there ye-WHAM"
THE WHAM WAS A MAZDA SMACKING US IN THE ASS. ...and right now, before you read the following language, you should realize- I have never been in any sort of collision. I'm very careful... annnnd when I'm mad I have a tendency to bellow profanity incoherently and punch something. The, uh, the badger thing fits real well in those moments. *ahem* Continuing...
Me: *turns to look at K, then look behind us- also so WHATEVER MONSTER HIT US can SEE that I am about to END them* "WHAT THE FUCK!? WHAT THE GODDAMN FUCKING SHIT SOMEBODY FUCKING HIT US. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! FUCKING- WHAT IS YOUR MOTHERFUCKING PROBLEM?! FUUUUCK!"
*slam car into park, punch hazards on, grab phone for pictures* "Who the FUCK hit us!?" *throw open door, storm out, ready to murrrrder someone. The AUDACITY of rear-ending us! What human garbage has done this and how can I eliminate the stain of their life from the tapestry of humanity?!
Then we met- her! The driver of the aforementioned car!
Her: "Oh my god! Guys I'm so sorry! Ah, I wasn't paying attention and-" It trailed off from there, I was SUPER rude to her and I kinda feel bad about that? Because she was REALLY nice and really helpful. I mean, I was extra shitty on some points so she'd know that she just shit upon our morning- like pointing to the now arrived train, "Guess I'm taking you to Penn line, honey. There's your train." I was kiiiiiiinda a bitch.
Sorry lady, you were actually pretty sweet- but I was fucking mad. If you'd been rude, as I informed K upon getting back in the car, she would have seen me giving someone a country-girl redneck ass-whoopin', to use the proper vernacular.
The damage to the car isn't very intense, but it really upset us, made her miss the train, OH AND THEN... Had to take the freeway over a couple towns to get to the other train line... annnnnd traffic in the opposite direction, which I have to drive in to get back- is stopped.
Fucking. Wonderful.
tl;dr-
Bad week for a whoooole lotta reasons
Had some other issues lately I don't want to go into
Wife and I got rear-ended this morning
Treated a nice lady like absolute garbage because she had the misfortune of hitting me on a bad morning
Missed train
Stuck in traffic on the way back
...and it's only Monday.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
with a Thor.
I hope your week can only go UPHILL from here.
I also hope the lady was legitimately nice, something you won't really know until the check comes in from her insurance.
Beyond that, I'm glad the pair of you are safe, and I hope you duck any annoying straws that tumble your way this week. I'm not sure your back is up to the task, and it's not even hump day. ^^;;
Fightin's over, let's be cool.
