I got in a minor car accident yesterday; It was so stupid - OKAY, SO, I leave work, get in my car and realize that I've left my laptop upstairs. I never leave my laptop, okay, what the fuck. So I go get it, and get on the freeway and then I remember that I left this ~property packet~ on my desk and I need it because I'm going to shoot it today and I needed the address and the guy's number. And I think, "You can always just stop at the office and pick it up on your way tomorrow" but I decide, no! I'll be responsible for once and just do it! UGH. So I take a series of exits to try to get going back the other way, and I was waiting to get on to an exit and the car in front of me, okay, it was blue, and the car in front of THAT car suddenly fucking SLAMMED ON THEIR BREAKS, IDEK, so the girl in front of me had to SLAM ON HERS and veer off into the small shoulder to avoid hitting him but like, WHAT THE FUCK CAN I DO NOW? This lane is taken, the shoulder is taken, and I can't go to the left because there are cars coming at 70mph. So it was like I had a second to like, pick which car I wanted to hit or something.
It wasn't awful, nobody was hurt and I wasn't even shaken up or crying or anything, it was probably the least traumatic vehicle-related incident I've ever had but still it's just a pain in the ass. The girl I hit was SO nice and adorable, we were both like "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO LOL I HAVE TO CALL MY DAD" and I was like, "I don't even know what the hell happened," and she was like, "I don't either! The guy in front of me just slammed on his breaks all of the sudden!" UGH, WHY, WHY, there better have been a reason for it and it better not have been just because he was on his phone or not paying attention or just being stupid idk. Her car is fine, the paint is just smuged, rubbed off or whatever. I, on the other hand, have a broken headlight and a dented fender. Whatever. I don't care about this car and my dad was able to fix it some, idk if this girl is going to claim it and idk if I'm going to either, I'm waiting to hear back from her but it just really pisses me off because I had such a nice, inspiring afternoon, and I was all excited to come home and clean and do all of this productive shit and then that totally ruined it.
I stopped at my dad's to have him look at it and he said something that really made me think and see him differently and maybe that's the reason this happened. It happened for a reason, I know it, just the fact that I forgot my laptop, and then those papers, and decided to go back when I didn't need to, etc... I got in a fight with my mom, it's an ongoing fight about money and I just hope she realizes what she's so content to give up here. I don't mind paying her for things, really, it's just the way she goes about it, it's disgusting and it pisses me off that she can try to collect on this shit when she offered in the past to buy me a camera, business cards, webhosting, and I ended up paying for all of that myself and didn't hold it over her head. It's like she forgets that. I've let it go but if she's going to turn it into a penny-pinching pissing contest, fine. I'm really lucky I have Jason - it blows my mind that someone I've known for only a year seems to want more for me than she does right now. It makes me so sad. My dad was also telling me about some family drama, about how his aunt is ruining a 50 year friendship with my grandma over money. And it's not even a huge amount - it's like a few thousand dollars. That is all. And she's so content to throw it all away over spare change in the grand scheme of things and it just breaks my heart, I've seen money ruin so many people.
