So I was driving to work yesterday, looked to the right at some people walking/running, thinking about how I need to do that again, look in front of me and everybody’s stopped. And I’ve got about 2 seconds to stop myself. Well, I did stop, but not until AFTER I hit the car in front of me…
Yeah, not a very happy day. So that guy’s car isn’t happy (he hit the guy in front of him after I hit him) and mine isn’t happy at ALL either (hopefully gonna find out if they’re going to total mine today). The guy in front’s truck’s bumper got a bit bent and stuff, but that’ll be fairly easily fixed. The worst part of this is that the guy in the middle, the car I hit, had to go to the hospital for a few hours to get checked out (was having some serious back problems) and then I THINK was going to the doctor. So his day was pretty much ruined. My morning was ruined of course, but not NEARLY as badly as his (I didn’t sustain any injuries and even as I’m writing this, over 24 hours later, I have no pain at all). So that’s just not very cool at all.
Of course, insurance will cover everything (cars, hospital/doctor bills, etc, etc). But that’s not the point. The point is that I screwed up and as a� result, messed up two other people’s days/weeks/months? Yeah, not happy about that at all. On my part, I own another car that my parents were using (but didn’t need right now because they have two other vehicles), so I’ve got that now and will be driving it until I get my car repaired, or buy another one. So really, this whole thing isn’t so bad… On my side anyway.
So yeah, that’s about it. Just be praying for the other guy (Michael is the guy who went to the hospital) and that everything works out ok… I’ll post more (and about other things) whenever I find out more.
