Stupid
Look what I did on the way to work:
I’m fine, aside from a few aches and pains in my neck and back. My car, as you can see, is not fine, and I will not have it for about 3 weeks.
Until today I’d never caused an accident. I looked down for a minute, while I was in stop and go traffic, and traffic came to a STOP while I was still in GO mode. Unlike most days, I was not drinking hot coffee at the time. I was also not talking on the phone, putting on makeup, eating, texting, or adjusting the radio. I was looking at the dashboard. Or something. I don’t even know what caught my attention and took it from the road, but when I saw how close the monstrous SUV was, I slammed on the brakes and watched my hood crinkle up toward me. And then I said fuck. Which was probably louder than the crash.
The girl I hit was very nice and had the cutest red patent leather Mary Janes I have ever seen. I wanted to tell her that…”So, I’m not going to apologize for hitting you because that’s the last thing I’m supposed to do, but I will say that your shoes are adorable. Please don’t sue me or anything, K?” Seriously though, there were just a few scrapes on her bumper. Thank goodness.
We did all our official business, filed a police report, got a tow to the body shop, and now my car is waiting for a full tear-down to see if it can be fixed. If it can’t be fixed, I’m getting an SUV, dammit.
Oh man! So sorry. What a crappy way to start a week! Glad to hear that you’re OK and that the other driver was OK too.
OH NO!!!! That sucks big time! I’m so glad you’re OK though. Man. Keep us posted about the car.
Glad to hear that you’re OK. Poor car though.
I’ll echo what everyone else said!
Oh, poor hoody bonnety thing. Glad to hear you’re a-ok though.
what a shock to see that picture! you will need lots of tlc from matte and a good hot bath with some wine to help you relax and get through this. you may be sore tomorrow. all this is said from experience. so know you have my full sympathy. and be prepared when you get your next insurance bill. but meanwhile, i am soooo glad you are ok. aren’t monday’s awful?
Glad you’re ok!
Ouch! At least you’re okay - that’s a very good thing. But the rest sucks. Mechanics and insurance companies are not the most fun people to hang with.
Only you would get into an accident and then notice the other woman’s shoes.
I did the same thing a few years ago with my little corolla vs. big SUV. (including the F*%k). Her car a scratch, my car crinkled hood like you. It happens but it is a crappy way to start your day! Glad you are ok.
oh no! so sorry about your accident, but thank goodness you’re okay!
Stupid…
The story of hitting an S.U.V…….
Good to hear that you are fine!!
3 weeks!?!?!
YIKES!
Hopefully you have a really cool rental!
Good luck and I hope the car gets back to you soon!
Ugh. I’m so glad you’re okay! But the whole thing really sucks. Been there, done that (but not a rear-ending thing, a run-a-red-light thing). Totaling a car is no fun. Let’s hope that’s not your case!
oooh. suck.
glad you’re alright.
