oh what a terrible commute today

I live in jersey but work in south Philly and someone must have forgotten to shut their truck door this morning because there were things all over the road.

At the peak of the Walt Whitman bridge all the sudden I spotted the black case about 100 ahead in the lane to my left and then the worst possible thing happened. The lady about 20 feet ahead of me in that lane ran it over directly! It showered my car with an entire set of socket wrenches!! I almost cried. At the bottom of the bridge I pulled over and look and no dents but a few white marks that look like they will buff out. I couldn't believe it!

Holy cow... I feel your pain, but you do get props for a new, original hazard: I have never, in my entire life, heard anybody explain how they just got showered with a set of socket wrenches!

Haha, men! I was thinking the same thing.

Sorry about your commute but if it make you feel any better he probably lost a $1000 in tools.

OMG! That is a miracle that there were no dents, I hope the white marks buff out.

Yea I have a dash can I'm gonna look and see if you can see me getting showered when I get home. I can imagine my face I was dumbfounded. I keep replaying the one that skimmed my hood hit my windshield and went straight up. I couldn't believe it. It looked like a crappy set cause it was a small box but probably 2 general sets so like 20 sockets Hahaha well thank god nothing bad happened
