Not my time…. by judithg

Not my time….

Just dropping by to record my morning drama. I went to the bathroom showroom to collect a tile sample and had a brief chat with the saleswoman about another (you have to make appointments all the time but the chap in the warehouse sent me into find a missing piece). Luckily, as I hadn’t booked a slot I didn’t feel I could loiter, because within 30 seconds of getting back in the car there was a bang and I looked up to see a car disappearing at speed into the showroom. There was a free-standing bath where the car is located in this photo which stopped its progress and fortunately a member of staff was away from his desk. The driver and his passenger were very shocked but unscathed. It turns out that if you hit the accelerator of a Porsche rather than the brake it moves very fast. I can’t help but think about the timing of the events just before - waiting for the dustbin collection, the warehouse man realising he’d given me the wrong thing etc etc…

Good thing: material damage can be repaired
Weather: improving
Covid: on a knife edge….
Wow Judith you do live a dangerous life! If only will be going through your head…..
What a shock for all concerned! Could have got yourself squashed good & proper!

Lucky near miss… who knew buying tiles could be so dangerous?

WOW what a story Judith , "Covid on a knife edge"....pity the government don't appear to see this !

@happypat terminally squashed Pat! A miracle there didn’t seem to be a scratch on anybody. I imagine the fire brigade may have been needed to get the car out safely.

@denful quite a surprise! In a row of business units so you drive into a big car park - so a car whizzing past was not expected!

@phil_howcroft I can’t understand why they’re dropping easy things like masks!
July 15th, 2021  
@judithg the "wearing masks" issue is just going to cause chaos and arguments
July 15th, 2021  
So glad for your safety
July 16th, 2021  
That's really frightening. I'm glad you were safe.
July 16th, 2021  
Oh wow! That is crazy. So glad you got out of there before the chaos happened.
July 16th, 2021  
Wow... a rather intense morning for you!!
July 16th, 2021  
Wow, I hope you bought a lottery ticket!
July 16th, 2021  
Phew! That was a close call. Porsche drivers are are generally better than that.
July 16th, 2021  
Am so thankful that you're ok, big phews! And yes, nice to have timings on your side :-) - I agree with Kathy A, hope you bought a lotto!

@blightygal well that’s glass half full whereas if I won the lottery I’d assume something bad would happen to compensate 😂

@peggysirk not a Porsche driver any more if his wife’s drained face was anything to go by….
July 17th, 2021  
@judithg Ha, hopefully it doesn't work that way!
July 17th, 2021  
Wow, I just popped over to see how you were doing as I'd not seen a post for a wee while. Seems like you've been living life on the edge! Glad you were ok, and that the Porsche couple were ok too. What an incident to happen!!!

@jamibann yes very freaky!
July 20th, 2021  
Crumbs!
