I saw a guy get hit by a car yesterday. He was on roller blades and couldn't stop. The pedestrian light had turned red, but he was thinking green. He tried to get the attention of the traffic crossing by going, "WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!" Not quite as effective as a siren. Obviously the guy in the car did not hear him. He saw him at the last minute and bumped the guy. Roller blading guy had a pretty bruise on his leg.
He got up and made a hand gesture towards the guy in the car like a "Forget you" kind of motion. The driver looked at me and was like, "What could I have done?" I just kind of chuckled and shrugged. Then the roller blader got hit by a bus.
That's a lie, but it's what everyone was secretly rooting for. Well, not secretly. Everyone yelled in unison, "We hope a bus hits you!"
That's not true either. Sorry.
I have a fear of a few things. One of them is being stranded in the ocean and the other is accidentally killing someone with my car. I would hate that. If you accidentally kill someone with a gun, you can just be like, "Well, no more guns for me." You can avoid them, but it's hard to avoid cars.

ouch!
you must be so glad you weren't the dude on the roller blades!
your post read a little like the ending of mean girls starring lindsay lohan. funny movie, that one
c_c : what could ever be interesting in the middle of the ocean.
fedes: These bladers are very arrogant people. if you hit a pedestrian in the UAE, the fine is huge. last thing you want is someone dying under your car for no fault of yours. cos if the person dies the fine's a whopping INR 40lacs.
for the sake of your argument in court...can one actually consider a rollerblader a regular pedestrian? i mean theyr asking for trouble to start with. so when you do get it you have to be prepared for the shit that comes your way.
PS: i say all this very confidently because i doubt ill ever rollerblade on a road with traffic
