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’m lucky to have never gotten into so much as a bump on my car. I’ve had to avoid a lot of crashes by swerving last second though. I hope you feel alright, don’t beat yourself up too much, a few friends of mine have been in large crashes and they weren’t arrested or bankrupted before, so things can definitely be worse and they still ended up decent for them. Both friends that crashed now have new better cars and they’re safe and happy. I hope the same to you, comrade. ❤️
