I could not make this up!!

Got a crazy story for you!
Let me preface this by saying that only these types of things happen to me...

Yesterday the Aggies played BYU in the first round of NCAA tourney. They won!! Anyway, we had about 15 people over for a watching party. When Geoff got home from work I ran down to the corner gas station to get some ice and an extra bag of chips at the last minute. This is one time that I didn't take my cell phone. I thought I would only be a couple of minutes. WRONG! Advice: Always take the phone!

After getting my needed items, I went out to get in the car. Did I mention I drove Geoff's new car he's had for about 6 weeks? The suburban parked in the handicapped spot next to me was way over in my spot. I couldn't get in the car on the driver's side. I saw the Suburban girl (looks 12, later discovered she's 17) getting in the car, so I patiently waited on the sidewalk for her to leave so I could get in the car. Did I mention she parked in Handicapped spot? She is not handicapped!

Girl could not drive! Especially an older model ginormous suburban! After attempting to back several times, back and forth, she kept inching closer to Geoff's car! I finally screamed that she was about to hit my car!

Here's where I made a poor choice. I stepped between our 2 vehicles and told her (thru the passenger window that was down) that I would help direct her out while standing there so she didn't hit the car. I even told her I could back it out, as I drive a big car and could do it easily. The girl, who is very strange (poor kid), ignores me and keeps trying to get out. I keep yelling turn the wheel this way, the way that would get her away from my car.

The next thing I know ....BAM... She hits ME!!! And pins me between a gargantuan suburban and my car. I am in hysterics, leg amputations running thru my head! Luckily she had enough sense to back up and not go forward more. Then I turn around and there's a huge dent in the Camry!

Long story short. She says she has no insurance. I call the cops, she's screaming to call her mom. The 2 guys that work at Exxon were loving it! Needless to say Geoff and her mom showed up,her mom had insurance, it was her car. Girl only has had her lisence for 1 month and only driven alone a couple of times. We exchanged insurance and were on our way to our party.

My leg is all scraped up and was throbbing all night. A friend at the party called her doctor friend and got some instructions for me. It doesn't hurt as bad as I thought it would today, but hey I got a good story to tell.

The evidence....keep in mind the dent is from me! Hitting my car while being pushed by another! Those who know me well, know that something like this would only happen to me!

PRICELESS!!!!! As Nicole and I discussed this story she said she would have jumped in between the vehicles as well...NOOOOO!!! Pour choice, agreed. We are glad to hear you are doing well. The dent kinda looks like a butt impression??? Jamey B.
