Backed into a superior’s car in the parking lot at my job, after a 10 hour night shift and a 1-and-a-half hour meeting. Insurance exchanged. Cops called. She tried to calm me down but I am so beat up about it and feel like an absolute idiot. Occasionally having to stifle tears. Looks like minor paint damage but with these shitty plastic builds who knows. Have liability insurance. My car got the worst of it, but idgaf about cosmetic damage. I just hate that in my sleep deprived state I was forced to get into that death-trap by the way our infrastructure is set up and wound up in my first collision in my life. No one hurt, she wasn’t in the car at the time. At home but still on edge as fuck. I can’t let something so dumb make me destitute again.

Have any of you been in a minor scrape like this? At-fault or otherwise? Did it go ok? I’d appreciate experiences in part so I feel less like a total dumbass.

    Ugggh, tell me about it. I work outside at a grocery and they had a car show in the parking lot where I work. Nothing but old white guys feeling superior to everyone else because they spent $50,000 on a mode of transport. The funniest part to me is the fact that these old white guys all get into unspoken competitions where one will be like “actually this baby is a ‘97 not like those ‘99s that they spit out” just because one guy tried to say his car was cool. You could have the fastest car on Earth and these hating ass mfs will be like “but your gas mileage is ass” or “you probably spent more than your life on that hunk of junk” like they have the shittiest attitudes about the dumbest shit.
