Wow thought I was done for
 

Sunday night I was driving the company vehicle, going to pick up a couple office chairs. I went to the gas station, bought some smokes, came back out, and as I was fumbling for my keys to get back in the van, this black guy from one of the pumps near me starts sprinting screaming "BAIL!". I looked through my windows to see what the hell was going on, and I see a car roaring right at me with a burning gas pump on his hood. So I immediately jumped in the van because he was 2 seconds away from nailing my passenger side and I didn't wanna get crushed. I jumped in and braced myself, hoping it wasn't gonna be too bad or there wasn't going to be an explosion or somethin. BOOM. Knocked my ass about 2 parking spots over, and damn near into the store. There was fire and smoke and shit everywhere so I got out and started running away. I didn't know if the whole station was gonna go up. All in all, I'm fine and the driver is ok. My back and tailbone is hurtin pretty damn bad. Turns out this old guy blacked out while driving on the street....

He somehow split the 2 posts where the gas pump was. There couldn't have been more than an inch on either side of his vehicle...

Holy shit! Glad you're okay.

No matter what ANYBODY says, talk to an attorney before speaking with his insurance. It sounds like you're banged up pretty good from the accident.

Damn weird shit for sure...

I declined ambulance at the scene. I honestly thought I was fine. I felt the impact on my lower back and ass immediately and was more concerned that others were in more serious condition. I was pretty much shocked. It wasn't until that night and particularly the next morning when I felt the pain. I went to the ER to get checked out. I used the guys insurance claim # and had the case # and all that stuff. I have not seen an attorney yet and don't know if I should? I think I'm good but if something is jacked up a couple months down the road I don't wanna be SOL.

Good you're fine.

Another reason why you shouldn't smoke.

And then you woke up?

I was kinda surprised there were no news vans or coverage at all. Not even a blurb. The whole parking lot was pretty much on fire for a minute there. If I get the security footage from the store (which is a PERFECT angle) I'll put it up here.

and then I cleaned the poop from my pants. Another 2 seconds and I would have been killed or severely injured. If I hadn't got in the van...

Houston, is that you?

Where at in Tulsa?

Crazy. Glad you're ok.

Shell station at 31st & Sheridan

Scary, glad to hear you're okay.

I'll assume some sharting was involved here, but spare us the details. :D

Glad you're okay.

Actually somehow I was pretty collected. I didn't have a lot of time to poop myself. I just hopped in and knew I was about to be nailed by a car with a flaming pump on the hood. Seemed like it took forever for it to hit. I was just thinking "This might hurt....."

When tested, 9 out of 10 participants pooped themselves.

Good job!

Haha! That sounds ****ing insane! Glad you are alright and lived to tell. Hope you get something worthwhile in compensation for all the trouble that caused.

Glad you're okay, and that the split second delay of your mind registering, "hey, that yelling guy is black" didn't get you killed.

and that black man yelling was future hall of fame qb geno smith.

Q

damn, so if that guy didn't yell out BAIL! would you have seen it coming and maybe it would have crushed you? That's some crazy shit.

Or go to Tulsa!


Glad you are ok lcarus!

Yeah, I'd be wondering "Bail? What do you need bail for? Youre already out of the slammer apparently." and then boom, it would be all over.

Yes I would have had no clue and might have been crushed. I thanked the guy for giving me the heads up. Even if I ran, which I guess was an option in hindsight, I probably would have run away from the store and behind and away from my van, which is apparently where that flaming gas pump landed. So I think getting in was the best option given the scenario. I was also afraid if I ran the guy might have swerved to avoid the van and hit me running away. I didn't know he was unconscious behind the wheel.

Don't know in Tulsa, but driving unconscious is a violation around here.

Race played an important role in this true life event.



glad you didn't die

**** you. I'm not telling the guy to go pop an insurance check. I'm saying that back and neck issues are serious, and insurance companies will do whatever they can to **** you over. If you don't know any better, than shut your ****ing mouth about things you've never experienced.

Sorry I yelled...

Plus that's kind of what insurance companies are for. Those pesky times when you black out behind the wheel, take out a gas station and nail somebody.

Heh, yeah. But they'll **** you over to save a buck anytime they can. I'm not telling you to go pop a huge settlement, just make sure you're covered properly. An attorney can handle that for you better than you can. You just came off of an addiction, I don't want to see the same thing repeat itself. Protect yourself is all I'm saying. The insurance company certainly won't.

I was just kiddin' bro, jeez...

Wow that it nuts, glad you are OK. Holy hell.

ROFL

Ahhh. It's a good thing this didn't happen at your previous stop a block south on the west side of the street........

I'll bet anything it was Skip Towne passed out at the wheel.

That was a Mini Van in the picture, and Skip Towne drove drove those 350,000 mile Astro Vans that still hadn't needed any repairs. Of course they could have burned up in his most recent house fire.

What do you mean? Unless I'm just being really dense here...

Funny, that nearly identical situation happened to the Chiefs franchise a little over 4 years ago.

I second the attorney talk. Insurance will bend you over if you aren't prepared - especially with these sorts of injuries. Try and think long term.

Also, glad you're alright!

Scary,

Really close. Go home, play "hide the sausage" with the wife, and then take her to Chipolte.

Geez.

A certain business establishment currently resides there that deals in female entertainers.

Hooters?

Night Trips

Lol, yeah. Good thing. Even worse if I would have been about a mile north at that establishment....

Won't believe this story until I see the black guy telling a local news reporter about it. And he BETTER be HILARIOUS.

Glad to hear you are ok but did you buy a powerball ticket?

Glad you are OK. Holy ****balls! Pictures in the OP are unreal! So, tell me about the store next to the gas station in the first photo...what is this "anal service" they advertise?

"You know something's wrong when lcarus runs into a black man's arms. He's either homeless or there's a problem."

That is a cool story bro / no sarcasm


Glad your all right.

ROFL

I'm dissapointed. Have you not learned how to fall on the ground and flop like a fish yet?

Why does it matter that the man that screamed "bail" was black?

Holy crap!!

You were damn lucky! Glad you're alright, (aside from damn near crapping yourself).

:hmmm:


Oh, nevermind. :D

I bet he jumped in his vehicle because he thought the guy was hitting him up for bail money.

Crazy. Glad you're doing reasonably well.

Holy Toledo!

/Cpl.Klinger

Damn! Glad you didn't get crushed !!

Hell I don't know man. I was just describing the story and typed that. I guess I'm a racist prick. Dude saved my ass though.

Don't lie. You were visiting the Anal Store for service next door in the picture

You caught me. I was using the company van because it's hard to haul 200 cases of these.

So THAT'S why you didn't shit yourself! LMAO

Yeah but when I yanked that thing out...

I hate to say this, but there are lots of old people that should not be driving at all. Some of these people out there could drink three cups of coffee while most of us on here could drink a twelve of beer and beat them at every possible test. My Grandpa is scary, but there is a license bureau here that old people come from out of town for to get their renewals.

The old people driving here is just at epidemic levels.

It is a tough thing in many ways, but people just driving without using turn signals at all and stuff like that is dangerous. Glad you came out alright bro.

So the black guy saved your life. That's a first.

Holy shit, glad you're alright. ANy footage?
