In news totally unrelated to knitting in any way, I banged up the car this morning.
In the doctors carpark, where I've parked hundreds of times, the brick steps jumped out behind me.
Yes, I am an idiot.

Ouch!!! I feel for you!
How dare they, the steps I mean.
Cheers

Posted by: Restless Knitter at April 3, 2007 03:24 PMWho taught steps to jump??? Sneaky little buggers.
Posted by: Carol at April 3, 2007 07:04 PMuh oh!! Someone won't be happy!
Posted by: thestripeytiger at April 3, 2007 07:22 PMOh Bah Humbug!!! No-one was hurt, except the car??? And the steps I hope!!
Posted by: 2paw at April 3, 2007 07:30 PMOh no, and the damage is worse than what I did a week ago. You are not stupid, you are not at the doctors every day.
I backed into my garage, as I have done for the past FIVE years and hit my husband's car. Damaged his bumper as well as the side and back of my car. We now have two cars to repair. My car has lots of grey paint and his car has lots of black.
There must be something in the air!
Posted by: Janette at April 3, 2007 11:20 PMthey make the bumpers lower and weirder than they used to I am ever so cautious with mine as it seems to hide things
Posted by: metal and knit at April 3, 2007 11:35 PMEek! Hope your car is feeling better.
Love that bear! I think she looks perfect knit side out.
Posted by: chrisknits at April 4, 2007 12:12 AMThat's not bad; I've done worse.
Posted by: Diane at April 4, 2007 12:24 AMI hate when that happens!
Posted by: wool winder at April 4, 2007 12:40 AMOh, no! How dare those steps jump out at you! At least that's not so blatant you can't help but notice it. My car, bright red that it is, gets regularly "decorated" by an insane female cardinal who attacks herself in the side-view mirrors, leaving white bird droppings all down both sides, and the mirrors a bit smeared, too. And in another week or two, the pine pollen will start, making my red car orange (the white truck yellow, and the blue Bronco greenish), probably still with those lovely white (and yellow?) streaks going down the sides. Sigh....
Posted by: Cathy at April 4, 2007 02:01 AMOuch! I feel so bad for you; I did that recently too and it is an awful feeling when you hear The Noise. I am so sorry for you and your poor car.
Twinkie must be so excited that the Easter bunny is on the way -- can she leave a carrot out for him or no?
Your little bear is adorable. :) Hope the fair is a great success!!!
Posted by: Debby at April 4, 2007 10:25 AMOh no! I feel bad for you.
Posted by: tigers at April 4, 2007 04:13 PMOuch. We all have "idiot" moments. You're just brave blogging about yours! LOL!
Posted by: Bells at April 5, 2007 11:24 PMuh oh must be something about dr's carparks as today we watched a man reverse into a tree, get stuck and do some damage....he didn't get out to see but I'm sure he will appreciate the imprint of the tree on his boot!
I'm trying to convince hubby we need to drive to the exhibition!
Posted by: corrie at April 5, 2007 11:51 PMNah, you're no idiot. We've all done something like that in our lives. Plus I have seen stairs jump, they're quiet and undetectable ... there's no way it could have been your fault.
