My interesting afternoon

I guess i can't complain that i get bored sometimes...and i'm also never volunteering to do any bank runs...i was coming back from a bank run today..and I'm walking along the side walk and this woman in front of me gasps and yells "oh my god"..well there was this bus in front of me so i took a few more steps and came around the side of the bus and there was this little old woman just falling to the ground underneath this HUGE truck!!! so this other british woman and i went running into the busy street to go get her..and the truck had to reverse and run DOWN this lady's leg..his front tire had gone up her leg....and the british woman is yelling at him and telling him to pull over...so i'm getting his license number just in case...and we try to get this woman off of the street..cause it's very very busy, and she's literally in the middle of the road...but she can't move...she said said her hip was hurting her very badly...she was such a nice little lady too..she had a scrape and she said she bumped her head on the road...but the poor woman was 85!!! Since we couldn't move her, the lady and i crouched around her on the busy road..and someone called 911...and a few more poeple came over and we made a circle around her so that no one would hit her again...b/c idiot drivers kept driving by....turns out the lady crossed the street when she shouldn't have and the driver coudn't see her cause she was crouched over....the guy who hit her felt so horrible!!!! than to make matters worse..after the police and ambulance arrived..the woman said she didn't want this in the paper..so when she was being loaded into the ambulance this guy from the newspaper started taking pictures...so the british lady and i went over to him and were nice at first...and told him that she didn't want her picture in the paper and he said "not my call" so i asked who's call it was..and he said "not mine" so i flew off the handle a bit...and said that hopefully his mother never gets hit....what a horrible thing for a person to do....anyways...as they are almost done loading her in the ambulance i asked her if there was anyone to call..but the paramedics said that they would take care of it (and they were cute) and she was thanking me and everything...oh i forgot to mention that while she was still sitting on the ground..she kept apologizing to everyone...the poor woman!

I was so upset..i told the british lady where i worked if the cops needed to talk to me...and i left..but the entire time i just couldn't get the image of her underneath the truck out of my head...and the fact that i froze and didn't know what to do....

well if there is one lesson to be learned is....drive smaller cars....and 85 year olds are pretty resilient..cause i wouldn't been crying and cursing everyone out!!!
