A Fender Bender
–noun Informal. a collision between motor vehicles in which there is only minor damage.
I got in a fender bender today. There is no nice way to say that it sucked. I got in the worst kind of fender bender – the one where you run into your own parked car. Yes I’ll repeat that because you probably did hear me right. I pulled out of my garage and hit our other car that I had just parked in the driveway not more than 5 minutes earlier! LAME. My husband was out of town all day so I can’t blame him for parking it there, there was noone else involved, just me and two scraped up cars If anyone has ever done this you know how frustrating it is! Has anyone ever done this? please tell me that I’m not the only Mo-ron… anyone??????
well this has not happened to me but my sister in law backed in to her husbands new car like 4 days after he got it…and then a few months later proceeded to back out of the garage with the door still shut!!! yikes !!!!!
dude, you know i’ve hit a parked car. a few parked cars.
and the worst was when i hit a tow truck that was towing someone else’s broken car so i re-busted that and broke the tow. jana, it just takes talent is what i gots to say.
hope my stories made you feel better, i love other people’s rotten stories.
Evan hit my dad’s car in our driveway. It knocked off the drivers side mirror. That sucked. Sorry about your incident. I guess it could have been worse.
LOL. Let me repeat that LOL! Sorry Jana, I tried to stretch my memory to think of a time that I have run into my own vehicle, nothing came to mind. I hope that you and the kids didn’t get hurt. Sorry that I am still laughing, I would have paid cash to watch you do that! Next time you should sell the tickets in advance, it will give you some money to repair the car.
I’ve never hit a parked car but I did scrape the side of our garage and made a huge dent in the side of my old ford aspire. The dumb thing was… I knew I was going to hit it because another car was parked kinda behind me. But I did it anyway. That totally bites, but it really does happen to the best of us. Oh wait, I did back into Frank Gomez’ trailer once when we lived by the afterbay. But nothing happened to either vehicle.
Well Last summer I hit our neighbors parked car with our suburban. Total moment of “what was I thinking!!!” We fixed their car, but ours still has some slight damage. Rick wasn’t willing to fix. So now every time I walk up to our car it is a reminder. GRRRRR!
I DID THIS. Exact same thing. I was late getting the girls somewhere and they were whining in the back seat and I just raced out of the garage right into Cameron’s parked car. I had forgotten Cameron was home (He usually isn’t). When I went back inside to tell him, he didn’t believe me. It was painful.
