I Made a Boo-boo
Ok I feel really retarded posting this directly after my last post in which I proclaimed the joy of getting my mom's car, but I had a car accident yesterday. It was really retarded; I was on 78 in Penn. and there was construction so there was a lot of traffic and we were starting and stopping and starting and stopping. My eyes were really dry and I kept blinking them and I squeezed them shut for a moment, and I guess I accidently also released my foot from the brake so basically I just rolled into the car ahead of me. I feel like a total idiot. Correction, I AM a total idiot. Anyway, the people I hit were really pissed (understandably) and I felt like a horrible person b/c it was a whole family and the mom was in the passenger seat and she was pregant and I was like, oh my God I'm going to hell and I started bawling. Their car actually had no damage, however. Only mine did; they had a huge SUV so there wasn't even a scratch on the bumper; meanwhile, my car must have gone *under* theirs because the hood is all smooshed and one of the front lights is slightly pushed in. Oh and the license plate fell completely off. I couldn't have been going faster than 5-10mph because I hadn't been using the gas, only the break. How completely retarded.
Then the police came and I think the officer felt sorry for me because I was crying so hard and kept apologizing and saying I'd never been in an accident before. Anyway, I made it back in Gburg just fine, no one was injured, and now I'm just waiting to hear from our insurance to send a guy over to take a photo of the damages. I don't think it will be too much to fix, and they might even tell me it's not worth fixing. So I was lucky. But I still haven't gotten over the humiliation and guilt, even though everyone's telling me that it's no big deal. I feel irresponsible. Oh well, it's over and I hope to God never to have a worse accident in the car befall me.
