Well maybe the picture isn't quite how it happened but let me explain.
I (this is Mitch blogging for once) consider myself a pretty good driver. Despite my rearview mirror falling off I feel pretty confident behind the wheel. Well a little while back I was in a hurry leaving in the morning. (not an unusual phenomenon) I hopped in the truck and started backing out. Whoops have to dodge the trash can, check the left mirror, check the rearview mirror, oh wait it fell off last week. Check the right mirror. HOLLY COW where did that car come from. Hit the brakes, hit the car.
There has never been a car parked across the street. Turns out our neighbors neice and her husband just moved to AZ and were living with them while looking for employement and housing. Well I knocked on the door and gave them my number for when the neice and husband woke up. Now my insurance is going to go up, way to start a teribble no good very bad day.
Make an insurance claim, car gets worked on neighbor guy gets a rental, gets car back, I feel stupid and can't believe I backed into their car.
Come to find out while being picked up the rental company nephew guy talks to rental company worker. Nephew had applied at rental company which is getting flooded with applications. Worker guy put in a good word for nephew guy who's application is burried in a stack, gets him an interview. He gets the job. Answer to his prayers for a job. God made me crash to help him get a job. Now I expect God to help me with any increase in my insurance premium.
Great story Deej! And I agree, you should get a break on insurance!
ReplyDeleteYou're so funny, Hubby! And you are less in trouble now that you finally got your rearview mirror put back on, and especially in less trouble now that our neighbor's nephew found a job with Enterprise. You forgot to mention that you ran into his car on the day Obama was put into office. It really was a BAD day!
ReplyDeleteGreat story Mitch!!! Just makes you wonder sometimes?!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are funny and I hope your insurance doesn't go up.. I love the snow pictures,makes me want to go play in the snow now..=) luv ya
ReplyDeleteDejo do you have my blog address?
That is too great! When are we gonna hang out?
ReplyDeleteIn Laci's words (at seeing the picture): "That is not good!"
ReplyDeleteSomething similar happened to us a couple years ago. Jason and I took a road, that we never took, to get to the freeway. At a fourway stop he backed up into some lady behind us ... who was way to close if we couldn't see her in any of our mirrors (but that's besides the point, and it was still Jason's fault). Turns out, while we were waiting for the police officer to come, the lady had just moved from Colorado, was living with her parents, and looking for a job - while raising her 10 year old son. We came to the same conclusion as you ... God crashed our car. :)
