so i was exhausted this morning, i was dogsitting and my brother didn't get into town until 1am to pick the dog up last night. so i'm driving to work, mostly oblivious because i drive this road every day of my life, and then there's this big noise. so this lady in a lexus suv rear ended me. and it wasn't bad, we were stopped and then she took her foot off the brake and her car hit mine. so i pull off onto a street to just check out the back of my car. and i'm totally in shock that someone just hit me, and she pulls over too and gets out of her car and is immediately like 'oh it's fine, it looks fine, i mean check it out but i think it's fine' so i'm in shock a bit, and i was like oh um yes it's ok. and we do this for a minute and she tells me that she was putting hand lotion on and not really paying attention and took her foot off the brake blah blah. so the only thing wrong with my car is that the bumper is a bit dented, no big deal for a 9 year old car. but i was so shaken up. i cried all the way to work and then called my mom who got frustrated with me because i didn't get this ladies name and insurance information (because she was saying it was fine and i would have had to be confrontational to get her info, or at least that's how i perceive it). and now i'm at work still and i just want to go to bed. i feel crappy, i just want to keep crying, and i kind of want to find the lexus lady and punch her because she didn't just offer her info. ;alfimaoefmaifea.
sigh. not a good omen for the day.
i hope that everyone else had a lovely (and uneventful) morning commute.
back to my tea and phone calls...

Cheer up young lady. It's really no big deal. The dent will simply give your car further character.
Smile yo.
Now our cars can be like twins -- both with dents. And if it makes you feel any better, sometimes it's not always worth it to report to insurance. For instance, since my car was hit by another car (albeit we don't know who that someone was) it's still under collision, which for me is a $500 deductible. So I'm doing some math and figuring that it's not worth it for me to get it fixed on a 7 year old car with 100,000 miles on it.
Frustrating nonetheless. I cried in the grocery store after my incident. Fret not.
I forgot to mention that I'm also a member of the Car Dent Club. I backed up my sweet ride into a fire extinguisher box in my parking garage. True story. There's now a big dent, and I've been told it would be about $1k to fix.
As you might have guessed, Emotionless Natron got over it pretty quickly. He just made some self-deprecating comments and went on w/ his day.
thanks guys. it was ok today, i think it was just a bit overwhelming yesterday.
and you've got to watch out for those fire extinguisher boxes, they just jump out at you :O)
