I’m rollin’ in the Jeep when my neighbor’s crazy and intermittently vicious dog comes bolting out of his yard on a perfect intercept course right for me.
Hey, wait a second! She ain’t stoppin’! She’s headed right for the business end of this vehicle!
I slammed on the brakes (I was going about walking speed), and this crazy bitch slams into the front wheel, sending her into a big tumble. All I saw was dog ass, tail and hind feet flying through the air.
I thought for sure I ran her over and the body flipped out from behind the wheel. :eek:
She gets up slowly and walks back into her yard. Didn’t look hurt, other than pride maybe.
I asked Dave if she was okay on the way home. He said yeah, but she probably won’t do that again. I doubt it. She Cray-cray!
I did that once,a big Boxer trying to run a cross the road ran right into the side of my car. I stopped, the owner came out and blamed me, said watch the road, I pointed to the dent in my REAR fender (cars had fenders in those days). I also had a guy in a supermarket parking lot accuse me of trying to kill his family, when his wife pushed her shopping cart into the side of my car going 1 mph.
40 years ago, I was riding with two of my sisters when one of them was getting driving lessons. We came upon some bicyclists, a guy and at least one of his little kids. The guy starts pointing, which my sisters took as an indication for us to go around. Next thing we know, they guy is screaming at us and there’s a little girl crying on the pavement.
The guy wasn’t pointing for us to go around, he was using hand signals. On behalf of his daughter! Who rammed the passenger side of Dad’s '72 Plymouth Fury.
A college roommate of mine broke both her legs by walking into the side of a moving car. In her defense (?), she was high on god-knows-what at the time (this was the '60s).
This crazy dog has bitten me, Dave’s son-in-law a couple times. Yesterday, his 2 year old granddaughter is playing on the swings with this beast wandering around the yard. :eek:
