gofish Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 So I was going to work at 4:30 this morning when I almost had a head on collision with a picnic table blocking my lane. In the other lane was chairs and other things. I had to drive thru someones yard to get around the blockage. The police said they had a officer on the the way. Quote Link to comment

sassenach Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ive had pickup caps off the pickup beds fall off in front of me. Definitely an adrenaline moment when driving. Thanks for calling it in too. Quote Link to comment
mommato3boys Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Those darn tables and chairs they just like stopping anywhere to chat. LOL Glad you are ok. Road hazards for sure. Quote Link to comment

gofish Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 It was very deliberate. I'm thinking teenagers. The house it was in front of was having a yard sale today. They had all the stuff in the yard and someone moved it into the road. Quote Link to comment

The WE2's Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Wooooosh! Maybe you need to teach driving school!? Too bad there wasn't somebody to take their license number. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Glad you're ok, gofish. How weird that anyone, even kids, would think that was a bright idea. I've had two very odd incidents with ....a washing machine that slid off of the pickup in front of my dad driving on the freeway. Car in front of us slammed into the appliance but we were able to barely avoid. Like to have seen the insurance guy's face when he read that report of accident. Other one was on a highway on Maui. I was going downhill as uphill traffic whooshed by...car....car.....car....picnic table.....all heading uphill. PICNIC TABLE? And yes, since if must have just slid off the back of the pickup, it was upside down and still riding on the air current.....it was indeed moving on the air still going up hill. Crashed to ground a few seconds later, as I saw when I did a wide-eyed double-take. MtRider - Life is stranger than fiction! Quote Link to comment
gofish Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) This was what a friend posted on Facebook... I almost hit it also, called 911 and they said they would send someone out. Didn't want to stop thought it might be a trap. Edited September 22, 2013 by gofish Quote Link to comment

Didn't want to stop thought it might be a trap. WOW - I hadn't even thought of that. We're out in "safe" country, aren't we??? But I guess the bike trail that follows the old RR tracks has had its share of attacks. So I guess we should think more carefully about our relative safety. Quote Link to comment
ArmyOfFive4God Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Scarier & scarier said Alice. Isn't it? Quote Link to comment
gofish Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 It was 4:30 in the morning. I was not thinking trap but it was set up that way. Yes I do think I live in a safe neighborhood but there are parts of town that if I came accross the same thing I would be totally freaked out. Quote Link to comment
lumabean Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 so glad you're okay, gofish. what a scary way to start the day! also happy that the "prank" those kids (or geesh, at this point, I'd think even immature adults) pulled didn't hurt or kill anyone. Quote Link to comment
