OMG I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT TODAY!! O.O!!
Backtrack.......
Earlier today I was leaving my house at 3 to go see wife like I always do. Well at the Glenn annie onramp for the 101 south, there's 2 lanes to turn left. I was in the right hand lane, and the other woman was in the left hand lane. Well she was obviously from out of town because she didn't know that my lane was also a left turn lane, so when the light turned green, I stayed in my lane and I guess she figured she had her pick of lanes cause she thought her left turn lane was the only one. So she schmoozed on over to my lane and wham, smacked right into the side of Vegas. I'm like.. "oh, fucking fantastic" which oddly enough the only thing I was concerned about at that point was the fact that I was gonna be late to see wife. So anyway she and I pull off to the side and she comes out and she's like "omg I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hit you I've never hit anyone before omgomgomg!!" etc and i'm like dude, chill. Seriously, she was totally wiggin. My car got the brunt of it, which incidentally was not too bad. A big ugly scratch on the side with some scuffs and such. No dents or paint chipping off or anything. So I was like alright this is no big deal. Unfortunately for us, since we were both relatively new drivers and neither of us have ever been involved in something like this, we were absolutely clueless as to how to proceed with the insurance exchange. So we're all "um.. well, heh.. I dunno" So we exchanged phone numbers, license numbers and license plate info and we're all "i'll look into this and call you back". So I look at my watch and i'm like "crap its 3:30 already.." to myself, so I get in my car and I go to drive off, and as i'm driving away I see her on the phone with someone and she looks like she's about to cry. Poor girl, I really wasn't mad at her. Shit happens. And I'm glad it wasn't like we weren't going like all fast and she would have totally crushed my little gay man. But anyways I drove down to CC hoping wife was still there and he was, but he was like walking away all sad-ish and i'm like "oh no!" so I park and he's all "I thought you weren't coming today.." So I told him my story and he was all "awww someone tried to kill Vegas.." but I said it was more like someone took his virginity. But anyways she called me while I was at CC with wife and she said that she could avoid the whole insurance thing cause she had like a $500 deductable or something, but I told her I would talk about it with my mom and get back to her tomorrow. Which, needless to say, my mom was not too happy about this whole thing. She was, also needless to say, much less forgiving about the whole experience than I was. I mean I know I should be bothered by the fact that someone tried to ram me on my way to the freeway, but honestly, nothing phases me anymore. Just another war story.
However, I'm not looking forward to getting insurance involved. Mine's high enough as it is.
