Dear Stupid SUV Driving Bitch (SSDB): You’re a fucking idiot. Flat out. I know it was hard to see the intersection because there were parked cars. I am all for you pulling your car out a few feet to get a good view, but a few feet is way different then pulling your entire fucking car into the the road and stopping while I’m just 40 feet away travelling 35 mph. Yes, I slammed into the side of your car. No, I don’t remember what happened between hitting my breaks and being dragged out of my car by one of the kind witnesses. No, it wasn’t right for your husband to grab my black and blue wrist, rub it, proclaim “Oh, you’re fine!” and throw my wrist down. You’re damned lucky I don’t fucking sue, you fucking bitch. Oh, and you were on the phone with some random person and exclaimed, “Oh the gal involved is fine, just shaken up.” Really? Is that why I was rushed to the ER? Is that why I had IVs? EKGs? What about those four cat scans? Is that why the four ER doctors and the specialist thought I had bad, internal bleeding? Let me say this: you are fucking lucky that I am ok. Yes, I have 2nd degree burns on my wrist and arm from the airbag- but I thank God for that airbag. Yes my abdomin is black and blue from the seat belt- but I thank God for the seat belt, too. Yes, my internal organs are bruised, but at least they aren’t bleeding. But you? Fuck you. Fuck you and your fucking SUV. And fuck your fucking idiot husband, too. Sincerely, That gal who is just a little shaken up PS: Here’s a picture of one of my abdominal bruises: [Icky](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SQAwA*QW42Wo*Q5ALVOQJzzf6Lz16fI3ODm3FQV506hK4bNhWjDMEXvg*y20eTma5dPWsF5b8E0OhTEkXen*SEP0kP8vmLqzRB!!RIn6D87xJ2qpIXFimQ/Picture.jpg?dc=4675508504601414849) Here’s my artist rendition: [Sexy, no?](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TAAxGDMXwYGo*Q5ALVOQJ905HcBBX6P6KKx2uTDnj4humxaTzYACi6s!9PYj7e62ouBrUHTgt0bc3Gh1HUnBGBcbIEe*k6SxtoHvNbRAec*FjIA3qXigdg/Picture555.JPG?dc=4675508505535538421) I told my friend I feel like Courtney Love. ---

I know it’s wrong of me to laugh… but that second pic was hysterical. I laughed so hard, I scared my cat. He ran right out of the room. Anyway, those people sound incredibly tacky and clueless. Hope you feel better. ---

You know, since they were so hot to declaim any serious impact on you, I’d _recommend_ suing, if only to encourage them to look closely at the consequences of their idiocy. ---

Damn, **Diosa** , that’s a nasty bruise you’ve got. Reminds me of the car accident that I was in with my parents, which happened in almost the same way, except it was a van. Dad and I both ended up with scarily bruised knees, but Mom had a bruise in the shape of the seatbelt that went from her shoulder to her waist and then across, plus a cracked coccyx. If I hadn’t been a bewildered and scared 12-year-old, I think I would have tackled the bitch who caused the accident for hurting my mom that badly. Even though my leg was in a cast from breaking it a few months before. I probably would have greatly relished beating her with my leg. The devil bruise is brilliant, though. Remember, half the fun of bruising is watching it change colors as it heals. I trust you’ll keep us updated? ---

Aw, I love you guys! Allow me to address each of you 🙂 **cromulent** Of course it is ok to laugh! I figure, my bruise didn’t look angry enough… or evil enough, for that matter. **chaparralv8** Seems a little costly 🙂 I’m pretty beat up, but I could be a whole lot worse. The air bag and seatbelt beat the crap out of me, but saved my life. **Larry Mudd** and all others re: suing: I’m not quite sure what I’d sue her for. I mean, my insurance will cover all the hospital stuff (it’s Kaiser so it’ll probably cost me $50 total) and the car should be totally covered by her insurance. Now, if the bitch tries to pass blame off on me or sue me- it’s fucking on. **AwSnappity** Oh yes, there are many! My whole lower stomach is pretty scary looking like that bruise (which, may I say, didn’t show up so well in the photograph. It really is a magnificent purpley-black color). My upper abs hit the steering wheel so they are pretty scary looking. Across my chest I have a huge black mark from the seat belt going up my shoulder. My collar bone is black. My boob is scary looking, too. It hurts. Ouchie. **Guinastasia** Ok so I really wish this was the case for two reasons. One: it would mean I could wear jeans tomorrow (bruises are stoping that). Dos: It would mean I knew how to use Photoshop. 😃 **Miss Purl McKnittington** Ouch! Your accident sounds bad. I feel for you! The funny thing is that I am pretty dark complected and don’t normally bruise. I honestly can’t remember the last time I got a bruise; it’s like trying to remember the last time I got a sun burn. So this def. was high impact otherwise I’d have no marks. ---

I honestly can’t remember the last time I got a bruise; it’s like trying to remember the last time I got a sun burn. So this def. was high impact otherwise I’d have no marks. Oh, it wasn’t that bad . . . for me. I remember being more pissed off and scared than anything. I wasn’t too worried because my parents were both still alive, and having them there was enough to keep me together. My parents, on the other hand, were way more upset than I was. It would have been much worse if we hadn’ t been in our boat of a Lincoln Mercury. We owe that car a debt of gratitude. It was actually kinda funny. I had visited the opthamologist that day, so my eyes were still dilated and I was in that cast. I’d also managed to somehow lose my only shoe. So, I’m barefoot, casted, and my pupils aren’t responding to light because they’re already dilated all the way. The EMTS said I was the weirdest car accident victim they’d ever picked up. Score! Then I had a low blood sugar and Dad and one of the emergency responders opened the trunk to our car with a crowbar to get the groceries out. That is the end of my story. I’m sorry I took so long to tell it. **Diosa** , I sincerely hope your bruises heal quickly. (If only so you can wear jeans again. :)) I found that hot cocoa on the inside and an ice pack on the outside helped a lot. Milk this for all its worth, baby.

Your story his hilarious, I’m so proud of you! You have to be the best at something at least once in your life, that’s what I say! If I recall correctly, pinapple helps bruises. Good thing I like pinapple. I enjoy jeans, damnit. And…oh good God…what the… Plus, I prefer my loin cloths to be longer. ---

> [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > re: suing: I’m not quite sure what I’d sue her for. I mean, my insurance will cover all the hospital stuff (it’s Kaiser so it’ll probably cost me $50 total) and the car should be totally covered by her insurance. Now, if the bitch tries to pass blame off on me or sue me- it’s fucking on. **Your** insurance should not have to cover anything at all, and **you** had better not have to shell out one thin dime! The bitch’s auto insurance will cover your medical bills, and you should let your health insurance company know (if they don’t already) that they can be reimbursed for expenses. I’m glad you’re not a whole lot more than “just shaken up,” but don’t jump to any hasty conclusions about not having any damages besides the car. Aside from the ER trip, are you going to end up losing any time from work because of this? How are your neck and back feeling? I know “whiplash” is a cliche, but it’s also something that hurts like hell, and it happens in a lot of front-end collisions, not just rear-end ones. Are you (God forbid) going to end up with any lingering effects? You may not want to rush into a settlement until you know the answers to these questions. It’s not a matter of sticking it to the careless bitch or her insurance company, it’s a matter of just compensation for **all** the losses that she’s caused you, including your lost work time, your health, and your car. And don’t forget to demand they pay for a rental car while yours is in the shop or until you get a check for a new one. I’ve never been the suing type, either, but after I got screwed by Allstate after one of their customers ran a stop sign and totalled my car, I’m far more likely than I used to be to call a lawyer at the first sign of trouble with insurance adjusters. I hope everything goes smoothly for you, and I’m glad you weren’t more badly hurt. Hurray for seat belts and airbags! ---

I really have nothing to add but “ow”. Even though I knew what I was clicking on, that picture still made me wince the second time around. I second suing if for no other reason than to pay them back for their charming demeanors. ---
