So I'm helping a friend move and she had bought one of those Shurgard Storage options where they bring the big crate to your house and come take it away once it's full. If anyone hasn't seen this, they bring the crates in on a flatbed tractor trailer with a forklift hooked on the back. So we fill up the crate and they come back to get it.
Now, this neighborhood isn't easy even for cars: a narrow one-way with cars parked on the shoulder all the way down. It's also predominantly a Muslim neighborhood, with a mosque on the corner, mixed in with drunk Ga. Tech students. So anyway, as the truck is loaded up and they're getting ready to pull off, we all came to find that two little children (apparently of Muslim faith) had been playing in the area and one of them had left their bike, well, kind of out in the street and behind the big tractor trailer. The driver, attempting to negotiate the street, found it necessary to back the rig up. Unfortunately, this manoeuver turn the child's little pink bike into a York Peppermint Flattie. It seemed to cause some alarm in the driver, who apparently noticed the noise and his flatbed wobbling around behind him.
The two non-English speaking children watch with a horrible look on their faces as the irked redneck driver gets out of the rig, surveys the damage and says something to the effect of: "Okay, uh, your bike got run over cuz you left it in the street, mmm-kay? Don't leave bikes in the street otherwise I'll run 'em over! See?". Of course, he's yelling it at the kids because they obviously speak no english. The kids, silent, still have a horrible look on their face as the driver heads off with no sympathy or compensation. They, without a word, drag the pink steel carcass back into their yard and go in the house.
I was busy and didn't have an interpreter so I was unable to right this wrong.
