1) Flat tire
2) Construction
3) Freakin' kamikaze deer
In these cases you may be blissfully unaware of them until they occur. You may be driving down the highway doing a safe (yet slightly faster than the speed limit but still SAFE!) 72 mph when the kamikaze deer appears from nowhere and slams into your passenger side. It all my happen so quickly that you are unaware of what you hit. You just know you hit something because you heard the thud and saw the debris as it snowed in your rearview mirror. You may pull off to the side of the road as soon as is safely possible to assess the damage and remain unaware of what you hit, believing that maybe your car just spontaneously exploded. It may take a coworker calling you to ask if that was you in front of them that massacred the baby Bambi. It may take hours for your heart rate to slow and the soreness to set in.
However, what truly ruins your day is the insurance company.
Something tells me you were a little bit annoyed ;) Though all your points are perfectly valid, I must admit ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I was seriously annoyed. mostly because I was couldn't do anything to avoid it because I didn't know the thing was charging me. The pain afterward is also just as annoying.
