I was this close () from becoming Pavement Man.

[Rain Man]

I was walking home and was crossing an intersection north to south. There was a one-way street coming north, and a two way street going east to west. A fellow pulled up on the west side hoping to make a left onto the one-way, but there were cars.

So I'm crossing the street, and I swear he glanced over and saw me. But right as I got next to his hood ornament he saw a break in traffic and thought he could go. He gunned it and bammo!

There was no chance of dodging. I did the Heisman trophy pose and stiff-armed his hood, and he hit the brakes before he actually got into my body, but dang, it was close. I got around to the side of his vehicle, we looked at each other, and then he gunned it out of there. Never apologized, never asked if I was okay, nothing. A couple of pedestrians came up and asked me if I was okay, so it was enough of a hit that it got people's attention.

I've got a sore wrist from hitting his hood, so I hope I at least dented it a little.

And I got his plate number, but I'll cut him a break. He just got caught up looking south at the traffic on the one-way and didn't think about a pedestrian coming the other way. But he still should've stopped and said something.

Did he have giant horse like teeth? Perhaps a Liquored up John Elway took a run at you?

I prefer to hit those people on those scooter things. Moving targets get you bonus points.
Glad you are OK.

First thing, Glad to hear you are OK.

2nd thing, the guy was careless and a jerk.

3rd thing, It's a damn good thing somebody stole that bicycle and you have not replaced it yet.

BTA again, it might be the guy you turned in for stealing that bicycle and he just got out of jail ?

Unless you are positive you've made eye contact don't assume anything.

Start wearing a super hero costume to make sure they notice you.
