So here comes part 2 of “The story of Christmas as explained by a Toyota Camry”
I was running around to get all of the last minute gifts for my parents, cause like any good 24-year old guy, Christmas shopping season is from 3 PM to 6 PM Christmas Eve! I mean, that is the official start time, right?
So anyways, I’m on the last leg, with my mom calling me asking where I am (which of course I don’t want to tell her that I’m buying her gifts, figured she wouldn’t take too nicely to that), pulling out of the TGI Friday’s lot near their house, which is a very narrow parking lot, and as I am, the minivan on the other side doesn’t see me and plows right into my bumper. I watched it happen, sucks when you know it’s coming and can’t do anything about it.
So here’s the other side of the story … he was an off duty police officer! So, getting a cop out to file a report was no big deal and as there were no issues as it was his fault. The only negative was that as of the 30th (when I wrote this), my insurance company had not gotten the report of it so I had to report it to them (maybe protocol, but not as the reporting officer had said).
So in the end, an annoyance, not the end of the world. Let me assure any reader of this .. two months ago, this is the thing that puts me over the edge. I’m still on such a high looking forward to meeting Danielle, my only thought is that no minor fender bender will keep me from meeting her on the 1st, so why be bothered by it?
That’s how you know life ain’t too bad!
