Something that happened to me today

[Twoply 0]

I was at a new jobsite today meeting a coworker to design some scaffolding. I parallel parked my truck, walked around and locked all the doors, checked traffic and kinda stutter stepped, going back to check that I did rally lock the back latch. I checked and turned around , stepped out into the street and the next thing I knew I heard a loud horn and I was planting my hands on top of a car's hood that was driving right through me. I posted my arms off the hood, and jumped up onto the hood landing my shoulder and left hip onto the windshield. The driver stopped and I went tumbling off the front of the car and on the pavement. Amazing how slow it all happens. I popped up and walked over to the passenger window which was down, and aplogized for denting the porky woman's hood. She was in total panic mode. She couldnt even speak and was frozen looking at me saying "I hit you I hit you" over and over in that female high pitched voice.

I said not to worry, and that it was my fault I walked out in front of her and that I was fine. I dont know where the hell she came from or how fast she was going but when I got up, I was next to the driver's door of the car parked in front of me. I went and met my buddy a few minutes later and he didnt believe me. I dont think I would have too. Gotta love being me. Fucking flake.

Dude you're living in the movie "Ground Hog Day".

That happened to me once back in the college daze when a drunk tried to run us into a swamp. I jumped up, landed on the hood and broke his windshield with my fist. He then tried to catch me by foot but he couldn't ever catch me.

You need a base jump.

You could have made some money. It is not too late.
