If I worked with a dick like that it would 't be for long.
I actually ran into a manager I'm friends with when I was going to the security office. He calmed me down a little before I did something to get fired.

Why are there no skid marks from your Ranger? Did the rear tires not lock up?

I think because my rears were against the curb. When he started pushing me my tires were just on the curb. Then the curb started sliding back.

Here's a better pic of the curb.

Holter monitor? Wait until you see the report of all the things the heart does.
It's different than the holter monitor I used when I was stationed in Germany. This one is a small device attached to my chest and connected via Bluetooth to a cell phone. I already got to experience just the bottom two chambers doing all the work while in the hospital. Nurses came running in the room to see if I was okay. Told them I was fine just felt some weird heartbeats. Then another time at home I guess the opposite happened. And every once in awhile I'll get an extra beat. I got a MRI scheduled this month. It'll tell them if I have this certain heart disease or not. It's not as common in my group. Lucky me. ?

Glad they are on top of it. Amazing technology these days.

My wife's ICD has a base station on her nightstand that downloads her information and sends to the doctor. She just had her quarterly "test" where they check the device, battery life, mess with her heart, etc. She is traumatized every time they do it and she gets more traumatized when she reads the report on what her heart has done since the last report.

What the heck was his excuse? He just backed straight up into you?
Hey, It happens LMAO...

A couple years ago, at the end of a particularly grueling day, I backed my five ton into a coworkers old hoopty Gimpala. I swear that space was empty when I first pulled into the parking lot. Anyway, I told the guy, he said he needed new brakes so I just give him $500. Then he told the boss a garbage truck backed into it. :sunglasses:

A couple other guys knew but everyone kept their mouths shut about it because it didn't concern them, and why can't more people be like that????

I once backed my old pickup into my Cutlass Supreme in my own driveway. I gave myself $500.

He hit me dead center. Looks I can use adaptive cruise control with planes now

Anybody want a slightly used front plate mount?

I went underneath and everything looks straight. But that will have to be verified by the shop. Just waiting for my appointment. ?

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. It's been a rough last 30 days. Finally got to take my heart monitor off. Kinda feels weird not having it. Now gotta wait for that appointment for me. ?

The only thing I can think of is at 5:30am there were more cars and it was dark. I guess he was trying to straighten his truck out. But how did he not feel his truck pushing around 4,500 lbs?

I'm still wearing my heart monitor. Would like to hear what my cardiologist saw during this. ?
I feel you... This guy "didn't see me in front of him" and tried to go around me... I was stopped at a red light.

Of course he was 84 y/o and the police revoked his driving privelages on the spot....

Not near the damage you had... Mine only cost ~47 bucks out of pocket to fix. ?
