[Ads-l] "[someone] hit and run me"

[Nancy Friedman]

>From Next Door Oakland:
"To the woman who hit & run me while I was biking home from work today:"
https://nextdoor.com/p/556s5Mjm4sqg (August 13, 2025)

I found other examples on Instagram and X, e.g.:
"I can’t believe someone just hit and run me while I’m waiting to go to the
Prayer Party" (December 2024)

And from the MachE Forum:
"The driver hit and run me but I found him thru his license plate." (April
2024)

And Reddit:
"Somebody hit and run me, is this a match?" (July 2024)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Autobody/comments/1m3q340/somebody_hit_and_run_me_is_this_a_match/

And a 2021 song, "Gone," uses the phrase metaphorically in the lyric "Tell
me, why'd you have to hit and run me?"
