“Enters Pub” - it’s myopic to label this as an odd or ‘metal’ thing to do. The pub has staff and patrons and a phone and a washroom and chairs to sit in. Some of the staff/patrons might be the man’s friends. Where else is the man supposed to go to get help and to wait for EMS to arrive?

Protip: in the UK, the town called “Reading” is pronounced “Redding.” Blame either the Vikings or the Normans.

The last time I was hit by a bus car, the drinking had come beforehand. Inner Circle Navy Rum to be precise.
“Gosh”, I remember thinking, as I slid across the tarmac into the direction of oncoming traffic, “that escalated quickly.”

Holy cow that guy could’ve easily died in a myriad of ways. Glad it was something he could just walk away from

The real life version of “Let’s go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for this to blow over.”

Protip: We know. It’s pronounced the same way here (Reading PA, the railroad in Monopoly) we blame the colonists.
