So...how smart does this sound?

[MiccyNarc]

Copied and pasted from my sister's blog:

We're on our way home from Carousel Mall when we hear someone in the next lane beeping their horn. We look left and see two men--both heavyset, one black and one white--in the next car over, pointing at our car and yelling things. We keep driving and they fall behind. They then catch up again and again try to make contact. Mom opens the window and tries to figure out what they're saying. She can't make sense of it, so we pull over and they pull over too.

The white man (the driver) gets out and comes to our car to point out that we hit their vehicle when we changed lanes. He points to a dent in the left side of the front bumper (which came for a deer eight months ago) and says that we damaged our car but his car is OK. Mom gets out and goes with him to look at his bumper, utterly perplexed because she doesn't remember hitting him and doesn't understand how we could broadside someone without knowing it. Meanwhile she's walking right by the passenger door of his vehicle where the other big guy is sitting.

Does this make anyone else's alarm bells go off? Does the fact that I thought my mom was being highly incautious mean that I'm street smart, or just paranoid? Mom's pretty sure it was perfectly safe, citing the fact that I was in the car and we were on the side of a busy highway with lots of cars going by. I say that I've heard of crooks and kidnappers pulling off much riskier enterprises--perhaps not without being caught eventually, but certainly with enough success to cause permanent damage to those involved.

What do you think?

My family fails

You should have pushed them into traffic.

 

[Core407]

You should have driven faster.

 

[15357]

Your sister seems a bit paranoid.

 

[The Brick]

Smart people know they're smart.

 

[Paintballer]

Carousel mall... in Syracuse?

 

[MiccyNarc]

Carousel mall... in Syracuse?

Yes actually
Just so you all know I wasn't there at the time.

 

[Smoke]

Your sister seems a bit paranoid.

I would have been.

 

[kirovman]

I would have got my gun out of the glovebox and waved it about screaming.

It's usually the best way to handle these kind of situations.

 

[Pulse]

What's wrong with being concerned for a loved one in a sketchy situation such as that?

 

[MiccyNarc]

well miccy seeing as i know where u live and where carousel is and i know where they have to drive through, guessing they were on 81 south? yea not exactly the best idea... we know that area all too well eh?

Yeah, right past the Brighton exit.

 

[kirovman]

Brighton? Damn you skull dudds!

 

[CyberPitz]

I would have been.

Likewise. Not being able to trust people in the world is horrible...but it's necessary.

 

[function9]

Is she hot?

 

[Cole]

Probably just an easy way to get your moms number.

 

[Geogaddi]

So...did she actually hit them?

 

[Ode^to^Joe]

Speaking of smart... I found a nice online IQ test in case anyone wants to take it. See my thread on the subject

 

[Anthraxxx]

Pics of your sister, or it didn't happen!

 

[MiccyNarc]

So...did she actually hit them?

The damage to our car was from a deer 6 months ago...on the front bumper. The damage to his car...didn't exist according to him. But he was looking at the front bumper of his car. Front bumper to front bumper on two cars going the same direction...I'd like to know how that'd happen.

Pics of your sister, or it didn't happen!

Unless you've found a magical new species of flying pig, I doubt I'll be posting pics of my sister anytime soon.

Especially with your signature.

What about my sig!?

 

[jverne]

yup...pretty dumb thing to do!

 

[kirovman]

So what happened did he take your mum's insurance details or anything?

 

[DEATH eVADER]

You should have driven faster.

Your mum should have hit their car harder, just to make sure she did hit it

 

[MiccyNarc]

Nope he just insisted that she crashed into him, then gave up got in his car and left.

 

[kirovman]

What a pointless exercise.
