So here's how it happened - I was pulling out of the underground parking garage at work this past Monday morning and the gate was malfunctioning and not opening properly. So the gate keeper was trying to fix the gate so I could exit. He was asking me to swip my parking pass and then pull up...only to have the gate not open so I would have to back up and try my pass again. I guess at some point of me inching forward and backing up I got a little too close to the wall of the garage. When the gate finally opened I pulled out and tried to make a sharp right turn only to hit the bright yellow pole outside the gate. Thank God the bright yellow pole had about six inches of foam covering it...if only it had had twelve maybe I would not have dents in my car. Boo! To make matters worse, when I got out of my car to check the damage the security guards were laughing at me and joking that they would hate to have to go home and explain this incident to their spouse. So I started crying right there in front of everyone over these stupid dents.
Completely embarassed, I got back in my car and called Corey. I told him I had been in an accident and kind of messed up the car...of course me hitting a pole pulling out of a parking garage probably doesn't constitute as an accident, but oh well it soundedlike a good way to explain it to him. As soon as Corey made sure I was okay and made me tell him the ENTIRE story he started hysterically laughing at me. He was very understanding and told me oh well we will just have to turn it into the insurance...no big deal. So I cried at work in front of the security guards over these stupid dents...and my husband laughed...I felt like an idiot. I quickly started laughing and making fun of myself. The damage is very minor and only cosmetic. Just the way I wanted to start my week!
