carma

My car got hit on Lake Shore Drive today. Some asshole in a white car decided to merge into my lane where my car already was. I honked and tried to swerve, but they hit me anyway and then drove off. I bounced off the guard rail a bit, but the damage to my car is minimal (dent on one side, scratches on the other) and I'm totally fine. Annoyed, but fine. The guys fixing potholes in the right two lanes tried to get the plates and so did I, but none of us were fast enough. I called the cops and they were very nice, especially since my proof of insurance was in my wallet that got lost/stolen between the plane and O'Hare. Luckily I had my checkbook with the carbon paper copy of the check I'd recently written to Allstate with my policy number on it, but they weren't going to ticket me anyway. Probably figured my day was bad enough getting hit by a fucking car.

Toph sent me this after I told him about the accident and my recent shlamazelness:
