pay no attention to the car that just parked in my flower bed

[joneschick]

or the other one in my front yard. Shit. I knew I didn't want a corner lot

[Sydnie]

1. Ack! Is everyone alright? n/t

[salin]

2. There has to be a story with this

do share...

[joneschick]

3. I have the parts of two cars scattered in my yard

there were drivers only, neither seriously hurt. Neither has insurance. Fire dept. has come and gone, cleaned up the fluids on the sidewalk. I've iced and re-iced the hand of the one driver who thinks he's disjointed a finger, no real swelling. just a mess. Her airbag went off when she collided with him or maybe with my tree...

5. yikes!

What a cool head you have in such a situation... sorry that you are left with such a mess. :-(

6. this is the third place I've live on a corner

you call stuff in. We've been here almost 7 years and this only the 4th or 5th accident. If you knew the area...I've asked my alderman for a yield sign.

the poor girl had just gotten the car for a high school graduation gift, no insurance. That one is still in my front yard 'til it can be towed, it wouldn't budge. The car in my flower bed has been moved to curbside. Both drivers were most gracious in their thanks. Rum for joneschick now.

8. rum sounds like a good

short-term "solution". Poor kid - she must be freaking out. And poor flower garden...

[joneschick]

9. fortunately I've been reallhy lazy about the flower areas this year

perhaps the anti-freeze spilled will contain the lily of the valleys that I couldn't? lol adrenalin is good for sumpthin'! when I heard the "clunk" and saw the car under my kitchen window, I rather thought the house had been hit. But I didn't feel the hit. So--no.

4. That's happened to us more times than I care to remember. Once a car f

flipped over after hitting a tree in our yard. It was 2 am...and they were just going to take off and leave it there. :hi:

7. I once got a date from a responding to an accident in front on an apartmen

I was living in. Moderately busy intersection...lots of accidents. The guy was really shaky and I brought out hot tea that I had just made while we waited for the police to show up.
