On Thursday I was driving a few blocks from work to meet the family for lunch, simply minding my own business, listening to Cold Chisel when out of nowhere, I caught something in my peripheral vision, causing me to duck. A split second later there was a huge crash on the roof of the car and I saw a large object bounce off the back. There was nobody in front of me so I am assuming something flew off a car coming in the opposite direction. I was in heavy traffic so could not stop...but when I got to my destination saw a dent in the roof and a large white scratch. Upon my return, I saw what it was...still lying on the road...a huge plank of wood. Sure, I was not happy about the hit I took but had to be glad that it was not a fraction of a second earlier, causing it to hit the windscreen. All in all, not too bad actually.
Fast forward to Friday. Going out with the family to run an errand and a complete IDIOT enters onto the main road from a shopping mall. I figured he was just getting up to speed on the shoulder, planning to merge in behind me...well, he proceeds to simply drift into my lane. I lay on the horn which then sets him off. Apparently he felt strongly that I should have assumed he was going to cross a lane into moving traffic. He then pulled back over and so I passed him and he yelled something else out of the window. The payoff came when he drove past me taking an exit where he went to yell something at me again. Completely on cue, without any prompting, Mindy and I both threw him a big grin and waved, I am sure driving him nuts. He really was completely in the wrong and a complete idiot...with anger issues as well. Glad to ruin his day.
On the weekend I was able to buff out the scratch so now just left with a small dent...which will likely remain there for a number of years (i.e. forever!).
