Two tales from true life…

Two tales from true life…

1.  One person is driving down a road going in one direction; another car is driving down the same road in the opposite direction; one car slightly crosses the yellow line for a moment, causing the driver of  the other car to veer off the road to avoid hitting them and then that car crashes into a tree.  Driver of the car hitting the tree wants to pin the blame on the car that slightly crossed the yellow line.  Driver of car over yellow line gives all their info to the tree car and even offers to pay for the damages.  Until the tree car driver comes back and says the damages amount to $2,000. 

No police were contacted and driver who hit the tree has no collision coverage.  But driver of the tree car cannot understand why the yellow line car driver can’t be blamed for the car hitting the tree.  Uh, duh.  Learn how to drive.  First rule when you are behind the wheel:  you are to be in control of your vehicle at all times!

2.  Libraries wonder why fewer and fewer people are visiting them.  Today I found out why.  A friend of mine went to get a library card for her 5-year-old and was told that she couldn’t have one because she had to be six!  On top of that my friend was told that she herself couldn’t get a library card because she never returned a book to the library that she took out over 20 years ago!  Hm…sounds like a “Seinfeld” episode…
