Dawn of the Kamikaze Deer
I got up late today. I blame my catching of the season finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race" for it last night. Still, I managed to get out my door only five or ten minutes later than usual. So, I decide to turn right instead of left at the usual stop sign, as I figured I should go a different way as traffic is probably backed up. Cruising down the street, not even out of my subdivision yet, I catch a faint glimpse of a furry face to my left and ... BAM!
A freakin' psycho deer decided to ram my recently-paid-off car in the early morning hours. After seeing her furry body bounce of my driver's side and do a flip that would make any Olympic gymnast drop a jaw in awe, I pulled over to the side, hearing my tire scraping the rim.
... DAMN....
After recovering from the initial shock, I see Kamikaze Deer in the street. Apparently spared from being run over by the school bus that had just passed, her tail wagging occasionally with a kick of the legs. I called 911 and they sent a cute cubby officer to help. I warned him that she occasionally showed signs of life. He got a rope from his car and said, "You know what I have to do, don't you?"
"Oh yeah..," I responded with a sigh.
"Okay," he said, "I just didn't want you to be surprised."
So he dragged her over to a neighbor's yard, with her giving whatever fight she could, pulled his weapon and fired.
After taking my information, I was free to go to work if I could. I called and told them I'd be late for obvious reasons and drove my car to my mechanic's shop. I had to wait an hour before they opened. The daddy bear who runs the place gave the car a look over and gave me an estimate ($2700!). It's amazing the damage that I didn't see right away, but is obvious once he pointed it out.
So my insurance company is covering it, except my $500 deductible, and I'm stuck with a rental car (also paid for by the insurance) until next week.
A totally $#!++y morning, all because one deer wasn't looking where she was going.

glad the situation wasn't reversed and cubby cop didn't have to shoot you instead.

And yes, terrible waste of good venison.

I'm amazed a genteel Southern Belle like you didn't think to suffer a "fainting spell" while in the presence of the Cubby officer. I mean, really! All that drama, a smashed fender, a gun, all that blood, and you couldn't work up a swooooon? Grrlfriend, please!

Srsly. Glad you didn't get hurt. People can get seriously injured-we have so many rats on the hoof here, I'm surprised I haven't hit one yet.
Reminds me of my time in the Bronx-one of my coworkers saw a car in front of the repair shop by our apartment with blood all over the front window-she was convinced that it was a mod hit against the driver, when I pointed out the fur all over the front end of the car and window.
