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 hate the absolute fetishism of cars. I hate these rich prissy assholes driving around like they own the earth and the street in their disgusting Mercedes. “I can’t drive here?! I’m going to sue.”

    Cars are the most bourgeois, hyperindividualist garbage invention that has robbed everyone from walkable cities!

    I feel ya. Goddamn. I could go on for ages. Almost nothing brings me more rage.

      My least favorite cars are the big trucks (bonus eat shit points if it’s loud and spews black smog), and what I call “waifu hunters” (the similarly loud sedans, coups, and misc cars people supe up and bedazzle with nearly pornographic anime stickers). Most just for the noise.

      I’ve keyed a couple luxury cars when they double parked 😈

          The bigger the car, the worse the person usually. (obvi transport workers excluded)

            I can agree to that, it most likely stems from the fact that they couldn’t give a shit how much oil they are unnecessarily using. Like Trumpies will preach how their personal choice to destroy a jungle a day with their car’s gasoline intake is normal and should never be challenged. America seriously seems like a unique problem sometimes.

              And stems from their massive insecurities. Gotta drive a car 2 lanes wide or people might realize I have no spine and all I do is LARP the Punisher 😫

      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.
