I could have let it go.
When I got home from the grocery store this morning I found that one of the cans in the six pack I bought was leaking through the seal, and rather than toss that one and put the other five away, I put the whole carton in a bag with my receipt. And so, in a spare half-hour this afternoon, I headed back to the store for a replacement, where pulling into a parking space, I cut it a little wide and creamed the back-left bumper of the empty car next to me.
What was there to do but take pictures, leave a note, and report the incident to customer service at the store? Nothing, except file a claim for the damage to my own front bumper with as much information as I had about the other car. And that is what I did. Since I was clearly at fault, I will pay the deductible to have the repairs made.
And that, was one expensive can of beer.

Oh no!! I'm so sorry that's the worst. I've done that before when I was trying to open an email - so stupid and unnecessary!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry honey
ReplyDeleteTracey - such a bummer. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Next time that happens to me after a grocery run, I'm taking the loss.
