Ooops...sorry!

 I am normally a great driver.  Really.

Anyone else think they actually look like brothers?

But today I accidentally tapped the car in front of me.  And when I say tap I mean one of those, 'did I hit that or just think I did?' things.

I wasn't texting, or playing with the radio, or anything...I had an itch on my toe I was trying to itch by rubbing it against the inside of my shoe and my foot slipped off the brake...

Really glad it was minor so I won't have to explain that in court.  

Anyway, the gentleman was super nice about it, I immediately apologized profusely (I know you aren't supposed to) and he said he wouldn't have even stopped but it was a rental.  Totally understood...gave him my information because there were two chips in the paint each about half the size of a pencil eraser.  Although not really chips - like the paint pushed up like a sticker.  weird.  

So he's sorry that he's in a rental and has to take my info, I'm sorry that I tapped him...so all in all the most pleasant outcome possible for an accident.

He was a little taken aback by our weather since he it was 84 when he got on the plane for Chicago this am from....Arkansas.

He was one of the nine non-Duggar residents of that state.  

But here's the thing...I was so focused on being sorry and late for work I totally forgot to get his info.  Or name.  Or a pic of the damage.  Or the make of the car.  Or license plate.  Or rental car company.  Or....anything.  Wait...it was silverish midsized car.  There you go...practically identified considering how rare they are.  

One of these...

Not one of these...

So...all I know is what I told you here.  If he had been a dick I totally would have remembered.  Apparently I am disarmed by civility when it comes in a southern accent.

I don't even have a rub mark on mine so I guess the paint protection I bitched endlessly about my husband buying was worth it...I drive one of these and while there are a million of them out there it's still harder to escape into a traffic evading the 'laws' a la Bonnie and Clyde after a paint scratching fender tap.

That pic reminds me I should get my car washed...I love black cars when they are clean so much but 99.99% of the time I'm just annoyed it doesn't stay that way for more than 7 minutes at a time.

I am glad I won't be there to see the face this will elicit when I call Mr. Buffy to let him know.

So now I get to deal with the insurance crap.  What are the odds the rental place will see the tiny paint scratches and say fuck it...not worth the paperwork?

Not relevant to my story - just a huge pet peeve of mine.  

 

Wonder how much my rates are going to go up for two nicks which I could have repaired with mini-Buffy's silver OPI polish on a rental car no one gives a shit about?

And that la di da attitude is strictly because it's a rental...I'd never begrudge someone wanting to get even the most minor of blemishes repainted on their actual car.  And sometimes touching up just doesn't do it.  (Yes, I have had an entire quarter panel repainted for a tiny scratch no one else noticed...why do you ask?)

I was annoyed with myself for a while but it's Friday...so hard to stay bummed...

random thoughts in reply.

I have discovered a branch of my family tree that goes through Arkansas.  I live in fear that I'm somehow related to that family.

Yes on black cars and clean.  My Mazda 3 can look like it needs a car wash right after I park it upon returning from the car wash.  It probably does not help that I park outside.

I have hail dings on my car.  I never called insurance.  I live with it.  I'm from Kansas and eh - hail dings are part of life.

      My guess was Arrow Canaan on the Baby Names Thread. Her boy names follow an ACC pattern & don't have cutesy spellings. Since there's not much with the aforementioned pattern, that's what lead me to my guess.

      Gotcha.  I don’t follow her but see reddit posts about her and couldn’t remember where I saw the name.

      If it is Amaree, it’s the first “non-noun as a name” name for awhile, right,  I can’t remember them all—anchor, armor, anthym, aynjel, are the four I remember that are other words.  Then andre, arissa (is is anissa?), anniston (i will never be convinced it’s not after jennifer anniston).  So I’m missing 3.   

      Anyway, lucky kid gets a normal name if it’s amaree

      Something made me look up the Boyer Girls on FJ, and there was a post in the previous baby thread, so I couldn’t quote—sorry!

      I saw that Brigid is now a doula, with Brijeedoula. And wouldn’t you know it, she has another insta called evespromise. That handle is…like, was Eve really into birthing babies, or is ‘promise ’ a try-hard sublimation of ‘curse’? For a fundie Christian, the handle actually sounds threatening!
