Bad things come in threes...and counter measures
Posted: November 24, 2004, 4:55 pm
With the superstition that bad things come in threes in mind...yesterday I got in my car and the battery was dead. (1). The Triple A guy came and noticed my tire was flat...I had a nail in my rear left tire and had to go get two new tires (2)
With two bad things already banked, today I wanted to get the third one over with and saw an opportunity. Backing out of my parking space at Fry's Electronics, I saw the car backing out behind me as well that wasn't looking. I was able to stop but the other car continued. The bumpers appeared to match and they were backing out pretty slow so I let the other vehicle give me a little "love tap". We both got out and there was no damage, wished each other a happy hollidays and were on our way.
My question is...does this count as bad thing #3 or does it get thrown out because I subconsciously let the car tap my bumper? It's a close call because I may have been able to slam my far back into a forward gear and avoid it but acting that quickly may have caused more damage if I rammed the car beside me.
I need some answers from our resident psychics and paranormal experts.
