I posted it everywhere else, may as well post here too
I was driving to my friend Heather's tonight and I was on the freeway. There was lots of traffic and everyone was driving slow, so I was in the fast lane passing peeps. Along comes this guy behind me and he's sitting on my tail for miles. I sped up until I was uncomfortable and he still sat on my tail. I didn't pull a Tana (ease off the gas) or tap my brakes (though I thought about it), in fact, I was still going a reasonable speed, and passing people on the right. A mile or so before my exit, traffic started to clear and I was able to get over (not before he flashed his brights at me, I guess the hippie bumper stickers make it so people can't bring themselves to actually honk at me, haha). I got over, realized my exit was coming up, and started heading right. He passed me and then he started right, too, presumably exiting at the same place I was. Well someone was in front of me and he was trying to get in between us, he was going to brake and go in behind me until he saw that it was me, and decided instead to cut me off abruptly. At this point I was braking to keep back from him. Right as soon as he got in front of me, he slammed on the brakes. Trying to avoid hitting him, I swerved and I guess pulled the steering wheel too hard. I completely lost control of my car and began to spin around. I slammed into a light pole, kept spinning, and ended up facing traffic, perpendicular, in the ditch.
The guy (possibly girl but I doubt it) didn't stop.
The first thing I did was check on Charlie, he was in the back, but okay. He had been sitting in the passenger seat and judging by my windshield, he probably hit his head. But he appears to be fine. I am fine, my arm hurt really bad and my jaw started to, but I took two ibuprofen and I guess we'll see tomorrow. I lost my glasses and some people were stopped so I was trying to get someone to help me, but they were afraid of Charlie. Eventually a guy who spoke very little English and apparently wanted to leave before the cops came helped me look for them, but the EMTs eventually found em. My car is definitely totaled but it weathered very well. The seatbelts, airbags, and the fact its a Toyota saved my life. I also think it was the good karma of not being an asshole back to the guy and brake checking him when I could've.
I kept sobbing because I couldn't believe someone would do that, see the person lose all control and crash, and keep on driving. I could very well have died. I am EXTRAORDINARILY lucky I survived. I am even luckier that Charlie is fine. It was nothing short of a miracle my car didn't flip.
I would not want to be him. Not just because I'd be a heartless piece of inhumane dirt, but because that is some of THE worst karma I've ever seen. That man will be lucky if he comes back an STD-ridden human in some country and starves to death. He will be lucky if he makes it through the night. He will be lucky if he comes back as a pig, artificially inseminated and after having dozens of litters of piglets in a steel cage eating his own shit and then brutally slaughtered while still alive and kicking, unable to breathe. I am not really angry, just amazed. If I had caused an accident and had no insurance or anything, I would still have to stop to see if the accident I cause killed someone, much less someone with Canadian, Coexist, and One Love bumper stickers. I am shocked and appalled, I hope he can't sleep tonight, and I am incredibly glad I'm not him. I hope his heart and his soul feel like they're burning tonight, because that's how mine would feel if I was him.
Anyways, I feel obligated to write that although most of you don't know it, I almost died tonight and I should tell you that I made it and what happened.
I also may not be at school tomorrow so please let the appropriate people know. I'm going to try to make it but the EMT said that tomorrow I'll feel "like the car hit me." We'll see, I like to think I'm kind of resilient, haha.
I'm really glad there are kind people in the world.
Wear your seatbelts and don't be an asshole. It really could save you and your dog's life one day.
