This is a true story, nothing in this journal is made up. This is how weird the real world is.

I was at work at my store, a grocery chain - not mentioning name. And was busy at work. When a bagger came up to me and said "Hey (head customer service person) needs you outside." I thought something was really wrong here. So after a moments pause i head outside. I run into the Head CSA person and she asked me, pointing to the parking lot, "Is that your car?" I look up and sure enough she is pointing at my little prius. I walk up there wondering why is she asking me this and see there is a car that has run into the rear of my car. The Assistant Store manager is out there as well. I walk around and there is little damage (popped fender piece) on my car, their car... well its been dinged up so much you couldn't tell. But then I noticed the car's engine was still running... with the window down!

Doing the right thing we paged the owner of a (insert color and make of car here) to come up to the Customer Service desk several times, and while waiting i called the police dept. The police dept showed up before the people did by MANY minutes. They came out carrying 12pk of beer and other things.

So the officer got our info and such, and wrote out his report. Here's what some of what he wrote. "Driver left (insert car) running, out of gear, no parking brake set and on a downhill slope. Vehicle rolled forward and struck the parked Prius in the rear."

Now, for more laughs, imagine explaining this to your insurance company...
"Was there anyone hurt in the accident?"
"No Ma'am, no one was in either car."
"Excuse me?"
"Yes ma'am, i was inside working and they were inside gathering groceries.."

I just wished I could've seen her face as i was explaining that. We both got a laugh at it.
