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.

    I agree with hating car centric infrastructure. Where I live it’s often poor/ working class people who have to spend the most time driving, because they can’t afford to live anywhere near where they work and there’s not much public transit. Despite this, a lot of liberals will act like having to drive a lot is an individual moral failing.
