  Or maybe you'd feel like John McEnroe. Then again, it could be argued that they're one and the same.

my body ached, but my dignity more so.

" @1337W422102: Oh yeah, totally fine, just a heavily bruised knee and broken wrist.  "

" I watched our cashier at the Pizza place at work run a red light and get totally annihilated by oncoming traffic. I was pumping gas at the time, and when the cops/ambulances/fire truck started to show up, I was thinking "Shit! They're going to be pulling the pieces of her out of that car!"  Turns out she's gonna be just fine- she hit her head on the window hard enough to crack it, but showed up to work a week later with no visible cuts- just a limp. Oh- and she doesn't have a car anymore. I wonder how she feels... SEE WHAT TEXTING WHILE DRIVING CAN DO!?! "

"

I have zero, nada, zilch concept of the green cross code. It just doesn't register to me. I will more often than not, willingly walk into the middle of road, with traffic just to cross the road quicker.

" I drive a car for a living, and have been driving 35,000 to 40,000 miles a year for a long time. I've nearly been killed so many times I've lost count but I've only ever had a single accident. That accident was a deer that jumped directly into my car while I was going 50 miles an hour. It was completely unavoidable. Other than that I've been able to avoid everything: multiple head on collisions, people running read lights, people changing lanes without looking, etc.  You may ask, "does he have super powers?" Nay, young one, I just treat every single person I see on the road as if they were actively trying to kill me at any moment. Keep that in mind and you'll go far. ;) "

If GiantBomb had forum signatures that line would be mine. Hilarious and true! "

" Eh, I wouldn't blame it on video games, choosing to duck and cover is kind of a human response. It's what I did when I got hit.  "

" I almost get hit by cars, pretty much everyday. It's not even that I'm running across the streets. It's always at the lights when it says I'm good to cross.  "

"To quote Piccolo from DBZ: Abridged: "Why...didn't...you...DOOOOOOOOOOOODGE?!?!?!"  Seriously, though, that's a scary time. I almost got hit by a car once and actually had a friend grab the hood of my coat and yank me up onto the sidewalk. It's one of those "That was a REAL moment" moments. "

" ouch at that. i've almost been hit by car once. i was going to gamestop and i was on a crosswalk. somebody almost didn't stop when they were driving.   i almost hit people. it was dark and i noticed people were crossing the street. they noticed me and stopped crossing. "

i almost hit people. it was dark and i noticed people were crossing the street. they noticed me and stopped crossing.

" While I'm no stranger to being hit by a motor vehicle under controlled conditions, today was somewhat different.  While crossing a downtown Montreal street, some dude pulled the corner without slowing down and almost hit me head on.
 
My first instinct was to block rather than dodge.
 
Maybe I have been doing too much gaming after all.  It wouldn't be fair to blame this on videogames when really it was just me being an idiot.
