I was hit by a bus!!!

     Gotcha!! It wasn't a bus!! But, got you to look. I did though get hit by a teenager on a bicycle!!
     I was delivering my last house of the day, when I walked out onto the sidewalk and as I did a teen on his mountain bike slammed into me. He had to of been going at least 15- 20 mph. I was able to turn just in time to miss my special parts between my legs. His brake scraped my right thigh and his tire hit my  inside left thigh. I got knocked back onto to my bottom and he then finished by running over my right ankle and left shin.
     when I hit the concrete I was already yelling at the kid " ARE YOU THAT F_ING STUPID RIDING YOUR BIKE THAT FAST ON THE SIDE WALK!!!"" GET ON THE STREET!!" He then asks if I am all right. I looked at him and say "NO!! YOU HIT ME WITH YOUR BIKE!!" At that moment he decides to leave me there on the street. The barber from the shop comes out to see if I'm OK, a few seconds later another customer pulls up and a few seconds later three police cars pull up coming from another call.  I gave the police my statement as another officer went to find the kid. Turns out the "kid" was only 14. No charges! I ended up finishing my route and was sore for a few days.It just shows some kids have no common sense or respect.
     A few days later my wife and I were driving through Arbys' and a group of people were on the cross walk. I stopped to let them pass. Two boys were wrestling with each other with their backs to us. To get their attention that I was there I honked my horn, since they were throwing each other around. I didn't want them to fall in front of me as I started to move. I got by them to pull up to the drive thru and as I looked into my mirror the boys both shot double birds at me. Again, no respect!
