I (20F) just got into my first car wreck today. Neither one of us was hurt, but I knew that it wasn’t my fault. It was an older dude and immediately got an attitude with me. Keep in mind, I’m hysterical at this point because A) I was traumatized and B) it was birthday and just wanted to go home.

He pulled out of a parking lot onto my lane behind a long line of cars. By the time I saw him I slammed on the brakes and blew my horn, but I just wasn’t fast enough. I got out with a few scratches while his front bumper and right side mirror weren’t so lucky.

But guess what, the cops took his side and I got the ticket. This is probably the worst birthday I’ve had. I could really use some internet hugs.
