I feel so ashamed >,<
14 years ago
I felt like making cupcakes today, but I found that we had no cupcake cases, so I drove all the way to my local Sainsburys to get some.
When I got to the car park, I went up and down looking for a space, then I found one. I tried pulling into it, but then I realised, after going into it about halfway (at diagonals. which I always do) that my passenger door had snagged onto the corner of the rear bumper of the car next to me, I then realised that said car was extremely badly parked >,< but I couldnt tell before I pulled into the space!! So, I reversed, but then I couldnt get out, cos for some reason, I had gotten stuck. I couldnt go forward because I was snagged, and I couldnt go back all the way because my door mirror was in the way T.T
Luckily, an older gentlemen (taking something out of the boot of his car, which was on my other side), guided me out of the sticky situation. So after I got myself free, I parked in the space in front of the one I was trying to get into....
The older gentlemen came over to examine the damage i'd done to my car, he said that it wasnt too bad (too me it looked horrendous!) and that it happens to all of us and not to feel so bad about myself. He also said that my car was worse off than the other guys' car (I only left a scuff mark on the corner of his rear bumper!) So as we walked towards the supermarket, and he got a trolley, he kept reasurring me that it'd be fine etc. When we got into sainsburys, there was a women handing out stuff and the gentleman took one of the leaflets, and the lady said "have a nice day!" and as we went our seperate ways, we looked at eachother with a kind of "too late" expression on our faces.
When I got home, I called my parents and told them what happened, cos I was panicking and wasnt sure what to do. They said they'd take a look at it when they got home. So they got home, and they were both suprisingly calm and laidback about the whole thing, when I was expecting mum to blow her top D=
But me and dad went back to sainsburys to see if the car was still there so we could leave a note (cos I had no paper and no pen at the time, so I couldnt, and I didnt have enough money with me to buy a pad of paper and a pen to do it). But the car wasnt there.
When we got back, mum then revealed to me that we had cupcake cases all the time, but since she hid all the baking stuff, again, I couldnt find them.... so I went through all that for nothing!!!
So now, my Dad's gonna call up his friend "Tony" to arrange for my poor Mini to be fixed. =<
On the plus side, I made cupcakes...

I'm just suprised that it hasnt got hit in the college carpark yet! There's always crashes there xDD Plus I saw someone's bumper (complete, apart from a smashed off corner) near the fence in the college carpark the other day xDD was lols
You can probably get some in Halfords, which will cover it right up n.n
that'll be good for future reference, and if I have a tiny scratch or something when I'm at uni, but my dad want's it fixed, lol, cos of the rather large bend in it >,<
Might try and get photos of it before it goes to get repaired =/
Don't worry, things like this happen all the time n.n
My mum constantly reverses into the walls in the underground car park >.<
There's a red mark (and I guess there's a large scratch under it) that goes from the middle of my passenger door all the way to my rear wheel arch =<
And the rear panel (the bit behind the door) has a rather large bend in it... The door panel has a couple of dings from it, but not as bad as this bend >,<
You can easily see the bend standing far away, cos my car's shiny silver, and the light reflects it back... but the red paint is only obvious sorta closer up D= I rubbed most of the red paint off, but there's a lot left that dosnt want to budge >,<
I'm just glad that it's rather low down... so my paw vinyls arent affect at all.
Dad said that it'll be sanded down back to bare metal, the bend will be filled, and resprayed... =<
Apparently gonna cost about £300-£1000.... depending on how bad "Tony" thinks it is, and what else has to be done... eep...
I thought they used suction pads to pull it back into place
But then again, that may only be for the smaller ones >.<
You got my 4700th comment n.n *Gives you a cookie*
