Just made an example myself today. I was walking in town in hurrywhile talking on my cellphone. I turned on street not paying attention to anything below my shoulder. I didn't include the presence of parking meters in consideration and I rammed right into a parking meter with my chest :eek: . I got a pretty nice bruise there and I feel like such an idiot today :eek:

Yeah watch out for those parking meters, they are pretty sneaky... always running up to you and trying to trip you.

Guess I ought to know, since I still don't own one. Hell, I won't even pick up a phone ringing on my desk, why the hell would I want to carry one around with me!

Were you talking to your boyfriend? Did he tell you that he was jealous of the parking meter cuz you were ramming it instead?

<< you have a bruise on your chest? you must've been walking pretty fast >>



Not really. When you aren't paying attention or don't notice it you walk into it without any attempt to avoid it, thus resulting in injury. You've never seen anyone running into a immvable object while running away from the police on police chase TV? That guy had to be carried by an ambulance.

When I was in high school, my cross country team was out running and we spotted a rather attractive girl from our class bent over giving us a rather nice view.

One of my team members was a little to enthralled and wound up nearly knocking himself unconscious by running smack dab into a stop sign :D

O stop being so damn mean. Yes, I hat people who drive and talk on their cell phone, that is about the only thing that makes me stick my sawed off shotgun out the window and fire off some rounds. They always shut up and look anywhere but at me. Smart people.

Did you remember to kick the meter after you ran into it?

I know how that can be. I went out to lunch once with my uncle and a couple co-workers. After we left the restaurant while we walked through the parking lot to the cars, he flipped out his cell phone and started dialing someone. Few moments later we heard an 'OWW!' and we all swung around to see him holding his forehead while this handicapped parking signpost in front of him was literally vibrating back and forth. None of us actually saw him hit it, but he must've hit that thing pretty damn hard to make it shake like that.

Sorry, Jerboy can't relate. You'll have to post a relevant story for him to understand ;)

You must be pretty short, Jerboy. Parking meters come just a little above my belly button. Of course if I walked into one I would probably get a hyetal hernia instead of a bruised chest.

Perhaps some parking meters are shorter than other. You must be damn tall if your belly button comes to this particular meter I ran into.
