Where I work at Lowes We have a textured concrete depression around our entrance doors that always fills with ice or bounces stuff off your cart. The "official" reason is to let blind people know where the parking lot is Shocked

I'm driving mom's car. A kid walking down the sidewalk on my right (walking in the same direction that I am driving) decides to throw his change out of his pocket into the road. Not knowing that I am there, WHAM!! With the power of Phil Neikro, it all hits the side of my car. I pulled over, had a discussion with him. What can you do? Stupid Snot-nosed misfit! Dings and scratches all down the side of the car. My World And Welcome To It!
