So I was meeting some friends at Lowell House to go to the KFC near Central Square, but I was running late. I get to the Holyoke Street and Mt. Auburn intersection. Look both ways. All clear.
I start crossing. An audi pulls up but slows to let me walk.
I guess I wasn't moving fast enough, because he sped up suddenly, probably thinking he could get pass me before I was in front of him. Fortunately, he was close enough so he couldn't build up that much speed, but the impact was still still hard enough to knock me off my feet and far up on the hood of the car.
I slid down off the hood, got back on my feet and kept walking. (Fried chicken was calling my name). I didn't even get a look at the people in the car.
I guess the incident looked worse than it actually was, since several people rushed up and asked if I was alright.
At the time, only my pride was hurt, but now my right leg is really starting to hurt. |

You could have sued them or whatever. Cash money. |

You really could have (though it probably would have been a waste of time). However, I would have taken down information... if you are hurt, you could realistically sue for medical expenses. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

On a related note, apparently KFC is offering a free piece of their new grilled chicken on Monday (http://www.kfc.com/). While I wouldn't go near that stuff with a ten foot pole, seeing all those commercials makes me want some delicious fried chicken. DOOMTrip to KFC anyone? |

I'd be morally obligated to go, given that it's like -7 feet away from me. |

What I don't get about that grilled ("UNFRIED") chicken is ... who wants to eat that from a bucket piece by piece? You put grilled chicken on a sandwich, you don't eat it like fried chicken with your hands. |
