What do you say to Your Colleague

"Fancy a pint at lunchtime?"

 

After you discover he has T-boned a scooter rider ?

Apparrently, he said he was "blinded by the sun" and
"did not see him"

The Scooter rider bounced off his car bonnet, landed the other side of
the car, sustaining (only) a broken wrist.

 

Congratulate him, of course.

Pehaps he should consider slowing when he can't see where he's going.

<looks at left wrist>

That can _really_ _fucking_ _hurt_, that can. Especially when the
weather is very cold or very hot and the bone and titanium feel like
they expand or contract at different rates.

 

I wouldn't say anything really. Unless you witnessed the SMIDSY it's not
possible to say exactly what happened and he's probably feeling like shit
anyway.

 

<looks at left wrist>

Agreed.

Fucks up your piano playing, too.

 

You can rip the shit out of him for a being a rubbish, inattentive
fuckwit behind the wheel... IF... hand on heart, you can say that you've
never had a "nearly" moment.

 

Difficult one this since it could happen to any of us. The fact it's
happened to him shouldn't cause you a major problem if he seems to have
learnt from it...

This bit would cause me a major problem. Does the **** know how much
fucking pain a broken wrist can give you.

I think I'd have a bit of a shouty incident if someone used the phrase
"only a broken wrist". Of course it would depend on the position of the
chap in the organisation...

 

Then get hom breathalized ? Good One.

 

What do they stick in your mouth to do that?

 

"this is a new type of breathalizer, where you suck rather than
blow..."

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Klaatu

How about "Get on the blower to your insewerance mob, admit fulll
liability and don't make the poor sod suffer any further"?

 

and hope the hom thing is neg.

 

The Scooter rider bounced off his car bonnet, landed the other side of

So, something along the lines of:

" I heard about the accident you caused.

Apparently a broken Wrist
is incredibly painful, and can take XX months to heal "

 

But he admits he has fucked up : He's pulled out in front of another
vehicle and admits his vision was impared at the time.

 

Say "I'm so glad nobody has done that to me yet, I'd fucking kill them
once I'd healed."

 

I can't.

 

Heh ! just one small incy wincy letter can make sooo much
difference to a sentence.

 

I guess if you don't decline the test and ask for a blood-test
instead, you're already at least partly pos in the hom department.

 

Can anyone?

 

Problem is I have to work with him. Might go down OK in the car park
though.
