hi everyone. i'm not sure if this will be too off topic but i'll give it a try.
recently i've been thinking about trading in my car and getting a new, smaller one with better fuel economy (can't imagine why !?!). i finally decided on the make/model.
now, the day i'd made a firm decision and would start the ball rolling, i've had a big verbal altercation with a council worker who accused me of being impatient at roadworks (i simply misunderstood where i was supposed to drive), followed 15 minutes later by a rear end collision. the driver in front of me suddenly stopped (quite inexplicably) as we were turning at an intersection. it all happened in that split second you take your eyes off the road to check for oncoming traffic. so i ran up the back of her. and wouldn't you know it? the very car i ran into is the exact same model i was about to buy!
so i'm trying to derive some meaning from this but i'm not really sure what the message is, if any. anyone got any ideas? i certainly wasn't expecting any dramas before my trade-in, but this will be a spanner in the works.
thanks everyone!
best wishes
