It is know amongst my friends that I will, in a social situation, attract the oldest man in the room. I'm not sure why but I've changed my perfume, just in case.
A recent new trend has caused me some alarm. It seems that I am attracting 20 year old boys with depth perception problems. More precisely my car is attracting them. In the last 4 months I have been rear-ended in traffic twice. The most recent occurred this evening on the way home.
When you have one main road in and out of town you sit in rush hour traffic. I was in this traffic, not moving quickly and lost in a reverie when I realized my car was being pushed forward and had stalled. Given that I was in gear and still had my foot on the clutch I was a bit puzzled until I saw the young man in the Jeep behind me getting out of his car. I got out of my car and told him to back up so I could assess the damage. This is when he informed me that his car does not go in reverse. Reverse is broken. What? How is this possible? I must have shot him a look because he took a step back from me. Fortunately it was low enough speed that there was no damage to my car. But still, no reverse??
