not at traumatizing as hitting an opossum
he was wearing glasses, an army coat, and a red weird beard, you could just tell he was crossing the street to get home to play D&D and i almost hit him as i turned right. he wouldn't even look at me so i could mouth "i'm sorry". i thanked my brother for being in the car and shouting, thus causing me to brake, because that would have been a really awkward conversation after i cracked three of his ribs.
