So I was just reading this article about a girl who ran into traffic to grab her dropped iPod.
Tampa police said the 16-year-old was crossing the street Tuesday morning when she dropped the electronic device. She went back to grab it off the roadway, and that’s when she was hit by the truck. (WESH Orlando)
I gotta hand it to this girl for retrieving her iPod and not getting dead. Sure a broken leg sucks, but so does going back to using CD’s. She obviously remembered how much she hated the sound of a CD skipping and went for broke! I would call her stupid, but I have done worse myself.
A few years ago I had a car burst into flames while I was driving it in San Diego. Pesky gasoline leak. I got out safely as the car started to melt around me only to realize my favorite shirt and my iPod were still in the car. So I shoved the cop doing crowd control to the side and made a run for the vehicle with the 10 foot flames coming out from under the hood. Not my brightest moment, but living without my 1st gen iPod would have been the real tragedy that day.
