Yesterday was a very weird day. A crazy coincidence “saved” me twice!

The first one happened in the late-morning hours. I was getting ready to go to do my finals at school. I normally park my car at my job that is located 2 metro stops from my school. So yesterday I get up, and for some reason I just felt like driving to school all the way instead… Now, my school is in down town Arlington, 2 minutes from George-Town DC and the chance of finding a parking space there is VERY slim, especially a day before a test when I CAN NOT be late…. But, for some reason… I just felt like I need to drive that day… So after the finals (that went VERY well btw!), I drove back home and I drove pass my job, and I see 3 police cars outside,
the road is almost completely blocked, mess everywhere, and tones of people around it… I could barely see what was going on, and the minute I got home I called my job… apparently a huge truck somehow slipped on the road across the street and slammed right into my job’s parking lot… Get this: my two co-worker’s cars are TOTAL I mean, r-u-i-n-e-d!!!.
On days that I go to school I always park my car at the edge of the parking lot as close as I can get to the road, and this time, my co-worker decided to park there because he noticed MY car wasn’t there… he told me that I’m so lucky because that’s where the truck hit the most, and then slammed his car into the other 2 that were there… THAT’S CRAZY! Can you imagine????
My car would have been TOTAL I don’t know what made me drive to school that day, its crazy… I’m so happy nothing happened to my car…. Hell I love my car!

So the second time… I came home, all excited from my “big luck”, had some lunch, and was getting ready to go to the gym. The Gold’s Gym that I go to is HUGE, so as I was running on the Elliptical machine for 20 minutes, I spotted someone I knew,
Now normally, I would never stop a work out for anyone… but this time, I decided to stop it, and go say hello…. Well, I was standing maybe 10 feet from my elliptical machine talking to this girl I know, and something from the ceiling that looked like a piece of the ceiling fan fell right on my machine!!!!!! The piece wasn’t big, but if I was there, it would have fell right on my head or back and deep scratch the hell out of me…

All I have to say about yesterday is one big YIKES!!!! :yow: :yow:

I want you to listen very carefully to me: GO BUY A LOTTERY TICKET RIGHT THE FLIP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy 2... If its a winner, I'll pay you for the ticket and take the money off your hands. Of course, you'll still have to cover the taxes on the money, but, i'm sure you can handle that.
 
Hey wow. Lucky you. :lol: I'm sure today will be the day you walk out and instantly get hit by a car, you get fired from your job and you lose your apartment, eh?

Hey now, at least you got lucky yesterday. :p
 
hehe, cool.
"written in stone" thing. you can't escape it if it's meant for you. obviously it wasn't but the message was there.

I don't care about your car (LOL), but I am glad you didn't get killed. :D
 
OOF! I'm glad nothing happend to you!

It does make me wonder, though..
What IF you had parked your car at work, as usual?
Would the truck have driven by, as usual?
