Char! Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 [color=teal][size=1]What happened to me today after school is scary. I'm still shocked, and so thankful for the two of my friends. School ended for us today. We all got out early, due to exams. Me and my friends, who we shall call Bob1 and Bob2, were walked to the bus stop. With it being the last day of school and all, my friends suggested we go someplace, or do something, just so that we wouldn't have to go home. However, I was completely content with going home at that time. Bob1 kept trying to get me to go with them. I refused, but they didn't let up. They eventually won me over, right when the 27 bus I was going to take pulled up. This was a little before 10:30 A.M. We walk around, yeah, yaddayaddayadda, and eventually we split up. I go home on another 27 bus. I get home, and what does my mom tell me: [i]the 27 southbound got hit by a car about ten blocks past my bus stop at about 10:40.[/i] :wow: I stood there, stunned. If it weren't for Bob1 and Bob2, I would've been on that bus. Who knows what could've happened to me if I'd refused to go with them? Wow. Thank God for friends. So the next time you talk to your friends, remember that they could unintentionally save your life. And thank them for being there. --Mike[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Fett Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Wow, that is freaky. The strange thing is, I would never have gone along with my friends, and would have been on the bus. This is one of the weirdest things I have ever heard........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 [color=indigo]Heh, I have a similar experience. I was getting a ride home from school one day on my good ol' 32 bus that I always took home. So it stops at my bus stop, there are a few other cars around waiting to get through the intersection. I get out of the bus, take about five steps then I hear these two really loud noises that sounded like gun shots. So I though it was a drive-by. When I turned around, it turned out that a car came speeding (about 80mph) down the road my bus was on and smashed right into its front right side. The bus took minor damage. The headlight wasn't there anymore, and there was a dent along the side. The front of the other car was totalled. Luckily no one was hurt. But when I got home, it just kind of occured to me. What if I had to cross in front of the bus to get to the street that led to my house? Heh, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. Looks like we're a couple of lucky ones :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Glad you're okay, Char. You, too, Piro. I can't count the number of crashes that I've seen happen/seen the results of at my corner. Thankfully, I've never been involved in any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Bus vs Car = Bus 1 - Car 0 You probably wouldn't have been hurt.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Heh.. That's scary, Char... You too Piro... I've never been in an accident while on a bus... Now, in a regular car, that's a differnt story...-_-;;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 My God..... I had no idea how easily you can just pop out of this world. Remind me to listen to my friends more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if your friends decided to try drugs one day and asked you to go, would you listen to them and go along? I understand that weed is all over, but I'm talking about the more serious drugs like LSD, heroin, etc. So listening to your firends won't always be the best thing. I'm not saying drugs will always be the case, but you get the idea.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoTranzrig Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Eh, I wouldn't really want to think about what worse could happen (*cough train...*) but you're very lucky though....you couldn've been waiting in the bus motionless for hours while they get all the legal stuff done.

I wouldn't take drugs even if I was in front of Bin Laden who was brandishing a rifle at me. I tell him, politely, to stick it up his bum and... well most likely get shot, but you get the idea.

Amphion Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 even if you would have gotten on that bus, even in the short time from getting on to it being struck, hundreds of discissions would have been made that could determine the results of what would happen later. For instense the guy could have decided to take one street instead of another. True, getting on the bus raises your chances, it still doesnt mean if you got on it you would have been hit. Just food for thought, not trying to say your wrong or anything. Im glad you didnt get injured or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexyjessie4 Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Friends are amazing people and I love every single one of mine. I hope that everyone has the chance to have at least one friend who is as awesome as all of mine are. I just realized last night that I truly do have the world's greatest friends and thank my lucky stars every night for them because without them I wouldn't be here today.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjaman Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 *looks at sexyjessie* lucky, all my friends don't act like they're saving me from death and injury. though i am thankful that they are my friends, since they opened me to the world, but they can sometimes be jerks. though i don't know if they have ever saved me from death or injury.

Guest Morph Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Wow, thats really lucky, that it didn't happen to you. I have had a similar experience like that, when my friends told me to do something else and not do what I was going to do, and I was going to get hurt, because I later on found out that something happened to the thing that I wanted to do.
