The WTF moment

Apparently irony runs in my family.

Last year, me and my parents were walking around in the city center of my home town when we saw a group of people surrounding someone laying on the road. We understood that something had happened. As we got closer we realised that there were two people laying down, and they were my cousin and her 4 year old son. They had been hit by a car when crossing the road. She was happy when she saw us, and I can only imagine how nice it must feel to see someone you know in a situation like that. She even said I looked like a vision, since she didn't know I had already arrived.

My cousin broke her leg but her child had no big injuries. My cousin's knee has not been easy to heal though and she had to take a lot of time off from work. Now, almost a year later, she can walk and she was advised to go to a gym and train the injured leg to reinforce the muscles and recover its strength. She did. But on her first session there she could not believe what her eyes saw. Who works in that gym as personal trainer? The guy who was driving the car who hit her.

... or as she called it: the WTF moment of the day.







Pelos vistos a ironia corre no sangue da minha família.

No ano passado, andávamos eu e os meus pais pelo centro da minha cidade natal quando vimos um grupo de pessoas a rodear alguém deitado na estrada. Percebemos que alguma coisa tinha acontecido. Ao chegarmos mais perto percebemos que havia duas pessoas no chão e que eram a minha prima e o seu filho de 4 anos de idade. Tinham sido atropelados por um carro ao atravessar a estrada. Ela ficou contente quando nos viu, e eu só posso imaginar o quão bem se deve ter sentido ao ver alguém conhecido no meio da multidão.
Ela até disse que eu parecia uma visão, uma vez que ainda não sabia que eu já estava em Portugal.


A minha prima partiu uma perna, mas o filho não ficou magoado. No entanto, não foi facil de curar o joelho da minha prima e ela teve que ficar de baixa muito tempo. Agora, quase um ano depois, já pode andar e foi aconselhada a ir a um ginásio e treinar a perna lesada, para reforçar os músculos e recuperar a força. Foi isso que ela fez. E ao chegar lá para a sua primeira sessão nem pode acreditar no que os seus olhos viram. Quem trabalha nesse ginásio como treinador pessoal? Quem é? Precisamente o rapaz
que estava a conduzir o carro que a atropelou.


Ele há coisas...


... ou como ela disse: o momento WTF do dia.

  1. Did she continue with her gym session or go somewhere else?

    1. Last time we talked she hadn't decided yet. That gym was the best option and she was unsure whether it was worth it to change to another one or not.

  3. Oh my gosh! Irony at it's best! I hope it didn't stop her from going to the gym. Did she turn the guy over to the authorities?

    1. The police was there from the beginning and there were witnesses, as the accident happened in a populated area. The guy didn't really run away. It is still very ironic though.

  4. Wow, a small world moment too isn't it? I bet the trainer would be feeling quite guilty and embarrassed when he saw her. I hope she gets a good discount too!

    1. Yes, it was definitely a small world moment! I also think the awkwardness was felt from both sides. The discount is a good idea ;)
