Just had a totally freaky thing happen. I went over to my DVD store. There was a parking space on the side street, so I turned around to take it. The space was in front of another car. Now, I have done that a million times in this particular space, but somehow I came up short when pulling in, and my back bumper somehow caught on the front bumper of the BMW that was parked there. Now, I don't want to criticize BMW, but the BMW bumper practically was ripped off the car, taking a headlight with it. I mean, are these things made of PAPER? My rear bumper got pulled out a tiny bit, barely noticeable, and has a tiny scuff. How is it possible??? In any case, I felt really bad. I got some paper and started to write a note, but then the woman came out and I ended up giving her all my info and insurance stuff. This is the first time in all my driving history that I have ever clipped a parked car, which is why I find the whole thing so weird. I've done the pull-in move thousands of times, especially in that particular spot, so how I came up short I just cannot imagine or fathom. But, at least my insurance will cover it, and I won't actually have to put out any dough, which is why we pay these large insurance premiums. In fact, I have never filed an insurance claim in all the years I've been with Farmers. I did have that experience where some woman on my street rammed into the side of my parked car, but her insurance paid for that.
So, I left a message with my insurance agent, and that should be that. I could tell the gal was really nervous, but her friend told her that most people who might have done this would have just left and not even left a note. I did whatever I could to make her comfortable, including showing her my license and insurance info and my phone numbers, so hopefully she's not freaking out too much.
