Irony 2: Bride of Irony

[rax]

Got grazed by a bus on the way home from work. Didn't even fall, but I could feel it pulling along my arm as it passed me, and had no room to the right of me to pull away... I think the driver misjudged his right side. I'm fine, it didn't even touch the bike. I just... gah. Didn't get this plate, either, because I then immediately had to veer behind the bus to dodge a car door and just sort of stopped to catch my breath. Not dead!

Some days are good days. This is not one of them. I am taking the subway tomorrow.

Take care out there!

I see mild tragedy, but not irony.

. . . Seriously, stop that. Or rather, the universe needs to stop that. I approve of the "coming through unscathed" aspect, though.

Sweet Christmas! Glad you're safe - and re: subway, yeah, sounds like a good idea.

[ab3nd.livejournal.com]

It's good to know you're doing okay, but it would be better if it were not provoked by almost not doing so well.

Also, you are not encouraging me to start riding my bike to work.

Gah! Yeah, subway tomorrow sounds reasonable.

Also, go you for not falling off the bike.

...Wow!

I credit my body knowing full well that if it falls, it falls _under a bus_, and deciding that doesn't sound like a good idea thank you very much. :)

I Get Hit By Cars So You Don't Have To!

[sovay]

Enough already!

I'm glad you're all right.

Gah! Good to be okay and not hit, but that bus is VERY BAD. Glad you are okay. Please remain okay.

Sympathy and hugs and feh. And glad you are safe.

Yeah, T tomorrow sounds like a plan. Not as good a one as a time machine and T today, though.

SPLATTERED RAX = BAD

Yes, take the T tomorrow. D: When the world tells you to take public transportation, do it. :D

Yikes! Glad you're okay.

You narrowly dodged certain death at least twice. Sounds like a fantastic day to me!

Whoever is scripting this is perverse. I hope something larger (like Mothra) eats them.

Do please take the subway. Stay safe and well.

Good God, that's _insane_.
I'm really glad you're not dead or maimed.
Maybe now would be a good time to outfit one of your bikes with loud pedal-powered speakers and blinking lights...?
Or to invest in a handle-bar missile launcher...?
Or maybe just to take yourself out to dinner, because hooray! you avoided getting squashed twice in 24 hours. (Lesser bikers would've been toast!)

Gah!! Take care. Glad to hear you're okay.

i'm sorry about the past couple of scrapes, but glad to hear you're still in relatively good condition.
