Stupid Kids
While driving this week, I was hit by a cyclist. Scared the crap out of me because I thought I hit him, and when I got out of the car, all I heard was him asking me to back up so he could get up. Turns out the stupid shit was racing along on the sidewalk, came to the exit of a parkng lot, couldn't see if anyone was coming because there was a building in the way, but still figured he didn't need to stop. He's ok though, which is good, because I thought his foot somehow got messed up. It was also good that I actually used to babysit him, so his parents were really nice when I had to phone them and tell them that I hit their son (because that's still what I thought had happened.) I do feel a little bad for the kid though. I took him to the hospital just to make sure he was ok, and when his dad showed up he was giving him shit. Apparently the night before they had just had a discussion about helmets and bike safety. Which he should have listened too, but still, if I were sitting in an er after an accident with a car, I wouldn't want to be getting yelled at.
