you've got to be kidding me.

I was in a wreck tonight. No, not really.
I guess you could call it a fantasy wreck.
Let me define.
Fantasy wreck="A close call. There is no physical contact between two vehicles, BUT the other driver is on crack and is convinced that you hit their car....so they pick out one of the many dents in their car and blame it on you."
You can laugh....for a minute.
But believe it or not, it's a reality.
I know...because I was involved in one tonight.
I almost kept driving as I thought "wow, that was a close call."
I felt no bump...never even heard a sound that remotely resembled that of a car crashing into my SUV.
But when I saw that poor red ford escort sittin in the middle of the road...well this tender heart of mine got the best of me and I pulled over in the CVS parking lot.
Big mistake.
The lady get's out of her car on the cell phone like WWIII just happened.
The first words I heard out of her mouth were, "I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO RUN BUT HERE SHE IS IN THE CVS PARKING LOT!!"
I thought, "Good Lord, do I really have to deal with this incompetent freak?"
Yes, she was on the phone with 911. From the sound of her voice, she had just been killed and was raised from the dead due to her "great"driving skills.
The cop comes.
The three of us inspect her car.
She points out a huge dent in the passenger door (just one of the many).
We inspect my car.
Nothing. No dent, no scratch of paint. Nothing.
The cop then looks at my tire and points out a scuff mark that could have "possibly hit her bumber."
I asked, "What about the side of her door?"
She is quick to anounce that she'd "forgotten that the door was dented from a previous incident."
Nice. Glad she pointed that out.
I dont think I could have lived with myself if I thought that dent in her door was because of my freaking tire.

Anyway, before I rant and rave myself into a frenzy...again, I will state that the cop did run a report. Hopefully, my insurance company will dispute it and it will be dropped.

Then she can pawn her dented up car on another poor soul in another fantasy wreck episode.

Watch out, you could be next.

It would be fantacy so it can rhyme with lunacy
