…yea
So it’s Friday night. I’ve just been chilling with James for a couple hours and literally as he is dropping me off Leah shoots me a text that she’s leaving her monthly book club and should be home soon. Excellent. In my mind I’ve got just enough time to use the washroom, check my e-mail, and get a game of Call of Duty in before she gets home. I get through all of that and am starting a match of Hardcore Headquarters when the phone rings. Jump out of the match, answer the phone and the first words out of her mouth are “Honey, before I say anything else I want you to know I’m all right.”
Oh Shit is the thought that goes through my mind at this point. At this point she tells me she’s been in a really bad accident about 5 minutes from home and needs me to come pick her up and bring her laptop which has a copy of her insurance card on it.
Immediately I’m out the door and when I get to where it happened, well you can see above, it wasn’t pretty. I of course freak out and rush to park and run out of the car to make sure she’s actually OK and see people being taken away from the other car on a stretcher. “shit” I see Leah and aside from being in shock and her leg hurting a little she’s fine. Thankfully. After taking a brief statement we had to goto the police station for the official statement where her parents meet us.
Now first off let me give you 2 scenarios.
Scenario 1: The Truth
Leah is sitting at a red light which turns into a green turn signal. Half way through the intersection a car full of white trash assholes blow the light at 40+ miles per hour and take off her front bumper as shown above.
Well that’s pretty straight forward. Cut and to the point right? Of course we all know things can never be that easy. Now let’s goto:
(Not the actual white trash responsible for this accident... but close enough.)
Scenario 2: The Lies Of White Trash
“We might not be the most edumacated of people but we bought our car and can drive it however we want. We were going straight and through an intersection that was green and someone cut us off. That’s what we’re all going to say even though it makes no sense that someone would be at a complete stop and turn in front of us on a green that we clearly had. Thank GOD there were no cameras so we can all say it was green. We’re also inbred.”
That’s pretty much what went down. So that’s going to be a fun mess for insurance to figure out but since Leah got the citation we’re going to probably get screwed on that. Karma is a bitch though so hopefully these assholes get what is coming to them. We have a couple ideas on getting that taken care of but it’s a headache I really don’t want to think about on a Monday while at work.
While Leah could use a new car we were kind of waiting for another 2 years until mine was paid off so we only have 1 car payment at a time. *sighs* Wonderful. The 3 grand or so the insurance will pay out for totally her old one is REALLY gonna go far on a down payment for something nicer. Yea. We did kind of enjoy actually having one of the cars paid off. What a shitty way to end last week. When all is said and done though it could have been worse. Leah is fine. Bitching about the assholes who hit her car aside that is all that really matters.

Ok, I was searching google images for a white trash pic for my party invitation to a white trash memorial day weekend party…I found yours, and used it by the way, love the pic! Read your story however, and two things…you crack me up and so glad the mrs. is ok!!
This is why I love the internet, sharing pics, stories and such with absolute strangers…inspiriational
Holly, glad you found a good use for the picture! I thought it was hysterical when I found it and had a feeling others would too. Hopefully you put it to good use
Yes the Mrs. is doing great. Unfortunately the insurance companies are still fighting it out but physically she’s good aside from the occasional back ache which we’re not sure if it’s related or not.
Yes.. the Internet is a great place
