when the car crash comes, don't be mislead
Um yeah so today SUCKED MAJOR ASS. I got in my first fender bender. And it was not pretty.
I was out doing errands earlier and forgot to pick up some sodas. So around 3 or 4 something, I ran out to Jiffy Mart to get them. When I got back out to the car, some idiot in an SUV was pulled up between the pumps and the parking spaces waiting for me to leave...only he was like directly behind me. So I was trying to maneuver the car out of an already tight space. There was an SUV to my right as well and I was trying to see past him. So, in trying to be careful, I cut my wheel too soon and heard a CRUNCH. Yes, I hit the NICE SHINY NEW MUSTANG parked to my left...and then I freaked out and tried to edge back INTO the space so I could go in and try to find the owner, and hit the freaking car AGAIN. FUUUUUUUUck. It was so embarrassing...everyone eating at DQ was staring out the window at me. As I pulled in, the lady who owned the car and her HOT son were coming outside. They hadn't seen what happened, and they were getting into their car and I was like "ummmm excuse me, I just ran into your car!" :-/ So we exchanged info...which didn't go too well because Mom and Dad never told me that their insurance card was in the glovebox...so I just gave her my name, address, license info, tag info, etc. and she gave me all her info (minus her PHONE NUMBER! STUPID!) Yeah so it turns out the lady has Texas plates, and lives in DC...one of those stuck up rich people. She was fairly nice and calm about it though. The only thing that happened to her car was some paint scraped off...I hadn't checked my car yet because I was too concerned with hers, and she was like "have you seen YOUR car yet? you might wanna see this..." Busted headlight, HUGE dent under the headlight, and paint scraped off. I know it could have been worse but it's my parents' car...this shouldn't have happened. So I drove home crying...it's a wonder I didn't crash because I was sooo upset. My mom was at a bridal shower and my dad was at an appt. So I came in and my sister was there and I cried a lot and blah blah blah, then my brother came in. Thank god he was there, he was the only one who really helped me feel better about it. We took pics of the damage (ironically I didn't have my camera in my purse--for once--while I was at Jiffy Mart) and my brother, who works for an insurance company in PA, called information and got the lady's number. So I guess I'm calling her and my insurance company tomorrow. Anyway, we met my dad at Four Seasons to play mini golf and when we told him I had hit someone he thought we were joking and started laughing...til he saw the car. :( He was super pissed, and beyond reason. He was like 'well that's easily $1000 worth of damage' and was all cussing and stuff. So he kinda gave me dirty looks while we were golfing. And when we got home Mom was home and we had to tell her and she took it a little better but yelled at me later. The whole family, minus Kathy was over for dinner so I'm sure when everyone leaves I'll REALLY get it. Everyone is mad at me (everyone minus Andy and Sherri) and yeah I'm mad at myself too but it could have been worse! And everyone is kinda not talking to me.
Yesterday I went to OC with Jess and got horribly sun burned. And I lost my voice. So I'm sunburned, voiceless, sick, and soon to be very very broke. Fuck you, life.
