I dented the.....
bumper on my husband's pickup!!!
 He took my car to get it washed so I drove his pickup to work. I had a doctor appointment on the way and the parking rows were pretty close together so I backed into the space. I clearly saw the light pole behind me, but what I couldn't see what the larger round concrete thing surrounding it about 3 feet from the ground up. So, while I was plenty far from the pole I was watching, I hit the concrete thing with the back bumper. Bad thing is this is a relatively new pickup - we just traded an older pickup in for this one a few months ago. The older one had a few bumps and bangs and this wouldn't have been any big deal - but it was the FREAKIN' NEW PICKUP! I knew hubby wouldn't be mad, but thought I'd get a lecture. Much to my surprise he just said, "you know, I did the same thing years ago, but I was going forward and hit the concrete" So, I didn't feel as badly. The estimate was $550!!!  But what can you do!!!!!

Gayle it happens don't be hard on yourself.. At least your husband was understanding. That is a good thing! My husband thinks that he is perfect and never does anything wrong, when he does he says it wasn't his fault.. Go figure! lol

Gayle...you're definitely not the only who has had this happen. Besides...trucks are made for the working people, not just to look good. Now it looks like it's suppose to!!!
