[13:21] * trillian just had a very crazy encounter with a chevy suburban

[13:22] <trillian> this suburban wanted to switch into my lane without checking his blind spot

[13:22] <ctate> par for the course, with SUV drivers

[13:22] <trillian> and i obviously honk and signal but still he managed to hit my front bumper

[13:23] <trillian> which shouldn’t have been that much, given that afterwards i didn’t see much wrong except the paint come off

[13:23] <trillian> the scary part was,

[13:23] <trillian> when he hit me, my little car went careening from the middle lane of the high way to the service lane all the way on the left

[13:23] * trillian thanks someon that no cars were in those lanes

[13:24] <dsandler> this has been another episode of “conservation of momentum”
