Default A most embarassing way to go.

Almost bought it today. At Walmart of all places. I was walking to my truck digging in my jacket pocket for my keys when an old lady backed out of her parking space. Knocking me on my ass. As I tried to roll to my feet, I made it half way up before being knocked down again. She had not seen me and was still backing up. I was already under the ass end of her car when a couple of girls passing by pounded on her trunk and she stopped.

What pissed me off was once I stood up and was dusting myself off, she just looked at me, shrugged, then drove off. Did not even say a word.

Another good reason to stay away from Wal Marts.

Did you get the plate #? I'd be calling an ambulance chaser and suing that cunt. Normally I don't condone frivilous lawsuits, but when people are retard fucks, sometimes it's warranted.

No Kidding. A few months ago at another local Walmart the powered Shopping Cart Wrangler machine went haywire, escaped it's handler and it pinned some woman against the side of her SUV. That thing was pushing at least 20 carts.

Did not even think about it. I was still trying to wrap my brain around what had just happened when she skated. I'm okay though. Thanks to my drunk, blindfolded pig on roller skates grace and agility.

The senile old coot committed Hit & run by striking you with the vehicle and leaving the scene.

All the Wal-Marts around here have cameras in the parking lot. Go back tomorrow and ask about talking to security about the footage.

I would also call the police and report it. The lady is an irresponsible driver and should be held accountable for her actions.

most uncool. the second I saw the shrug I'd imagine knocking the sideview mirror off and smashing the windshield with it. I had some old guy in a minivan do that only I was on the bike going through the parking lot... ended up tapping the rear wheel because I happened to gas it at the right moment My boot print is probably STILL in his fucking door.
