One drink away to know what's it like to be hit by a car
This happened a week ago. My friend and I (both F18) hop into an Uber, to go to a birthday party we didn't really wanna go to. We spend some time there until someone offers that all of us, we're approx 20, go on a walk, circa 12.30 AM. Great idea, it's common to do that when parties are chill and kept small like that.
My friend, who was supposed to sleep over at my house, and I, decide to bring our bags and coats with you so we could order an Uber before the group turned back around to go home, and the drive would be less expensive since it would be closer to my house.
We start the walk, in a known to be quiet neighbourhood, one of the richest of the city, nothing ever happens, until a car slows down next to us. 5 guys start yelling out the window "Hey girls, why don't you come with us, where do you wanna go?"... The usual. We were multiple girls and there were only 4 guy friends of ours. I tell them to fuck off, that we don't want to talk to them.
They stop but nobody really pays attention until we all collectively hear a honk behind us and upon turning around, the small Fiat is absolutely charging towards us at full speed ON THE SIDEWALK, and on the verge of hitting the slower ones of the group. We throw ourselves on each side, completely panicked and screaming at this point.
Everyone gets up, and some of us start walking towards the car to scream at the guys that were obviously dying of laughter. We scream at them, telling them how stupid that was and they try to calm us down, saying we shouldn't be scared and they're nice.
We continue our way, thinking the guys are finally gonna leave us alone. Until, 100 meters later, we hear the terrifying sound of the car speeding up once again, this time almost hitting half of us on the bike lane, some fell on the ground, I thought instantly that they got hit.
This time, my male friend (18) goes up to them and very calmly (I would've never been that calm) tells them this was so dangerous and could've ended much worse and to just leave us alone.
The first guy gets out of the car. He tries to scare him, lightly pushes him, so my male friend puts his hand in front of him, keeping a distance. The second guy gets out of the car, screaming like a chihuahua and starts pushing and pulling my friend.
At that point, another female friend try to separate them as the second guy does not let go of our friend. I scream that I'm on the phone with the police (I wasn't because I had forgotten the number lol) and this might've scared them because they all get in the car and speed off.
I can't stop thinking about the fact that if anyone at our party was drunk, this could have ended way worse. We ended up calling the police but no one filed a complaint, not even my male friend.
So to these 5 guys and the endless boredom that probably made them do this, let's not meet again.
