esteem

so some guy ran over my left foot today. some people can be so thoughtless. i was standing in the side of the parking lot when i felt the front of the car nudge my leg from behind. i didn't even have time to react when i felt the front wheel of the same car go over my foot. the asshole who ran over my foot didnt even have the decency to ask if i was okay or to acknowledge that he ran over me. and he had the gall to block my car when i tried to leave my slot.

not having the presence of mind to get out of the car and talk to the guy, (i was also nervous that he/she would turn out to be some crazy violent freakazoid with a gun) i left the parking lot (my foot seemed fine though obviously traumatized by the weight of the car) only to discover after driving a few meters away that it was getting numb and sort of swollen. i decided to turn back to at least try to get the name of the guy who was driving. after all, if after checkup, had we discovered anything broken or injured more than what was apparent, there had to be someone else who would pay for this.

the guy turned out to be the biggest asshole. i cant believe that there are people who grow up to be like that. while i had approached the guy with civility in mind, his brashness and misplaced bravado was something that i could not fathom. he had the gall to suggest that it was he who would take me to court (for what?!) and that I think I know everything. He refused to show any valid ID and refused to acknowledge his mistake. He also did not offer to at least take me to have my foot checked. ang kapal. people like this make me sick.

while there are times when i feel like my better judgment is lost, and even though i was (somewhat) humiliated by this guy (he tried to make it seem like it was my fault he ran over me grrr), this situation was not one of them. while originally i decided that the injury was not serious enough (because i wasnt in pain), i thought it was important too that I at least check that i didnt break anything. i guess it was a self-esteem issue too. it might have been tedious but i was worth the effort. and if i wasn't going to stand up for myself, who would? after an xray and an examination by the infirmary doctor, i was told that my foot was not injured, but merely traumatized from the pressure put on by the car's weight.

to that ugly disgusting guy: i wish you would grow up (for real) and grow some balls, some humility, and some character. get better tint for your car and hopefully get some morals somewhere along the way too.

we don't need any more of your kind. i hope you never have to deal with anyone like you. nobody deserves that.
