So, I was in an auto wreck about half an hour ago.^^; It really sucks, since I was at fault, but it got me thinking about how stupidly funny wreck stories can be, as long as no one gets hurt... and you choose not to think about the horrible repercussions your insurance is going to feel. And that ticket you got. And that airbag that refuses to fit back into the steeringwheel.
Anyway, this thread is for sharing your dumbest wreck story. It doesn't need to be all car stories or anything... Bike wrecks and I-walked-into-a-tree-once stories are more than welcome.^^
But my wreck story! It is so stupid. A bee flew in my window and just kind of sat there on the door. A note: I am petrified of bees. I have a longstanding phobia. My last bee encounter was at the Medieval fair, where one flew in my ear. I swung my head forward so I was doubled over at the waist, launching the two hats and a headband I was wearing a few good yards. Then I straightened up and smacked myself in the ear for a decent time, while my friends all stared at me and laughed. I DO NOT LIKE BEES.
Anyway, I did the bravest thing I've ever done... I tried to knock it out of the car with a snood (it is a thing that looks an awful lot like a hairnet). Well, I missed the bee and threw the snood out the window. Then, all of a sudden, there was an airbag in my face. Apparently, the stuff that fills airbags looks like grey smoke and smells awful. Well, I didn't know that. I thought my car was on fire. So I stumble out into the traffic, which is mostly at a standstill watching the wreck.
I the start wondering if wandering in the traffic is the safest thing. Then the people watching me start to freak me out a bit... so I get back in the car. The car which, at this point, I still think is on fire.
I am an idiot.
After I figured out nothing was on fire, things got boring so I won't detail it. Isn't commuting fun?
