My sleep was ruined last night. I was awake often for no reason at all (thankfully my neighbors weren’t having a sex-fest like the previous night, which honestly grossed me out). What kept coming to my mind was that I work doubles today and that some asshole hit my car and left–without leaving a note or anything.
Yesterday afternoon was great. I left work realizing that I seriously like the coworkers at this job more than I’ve ever liked any other set of coworkers. I had grocery shopping plans and figured I’d stop at the bank and get rid of several small pay checks I had. I stood in line for 20 minutes to deposit 29 measly dollars. When I get back out to my car it has a large dent in the side. No note, nothing. No one came up to me either.
I feel like anyone would be deeply pissed about a situation like this. But pair this with the fact that just a few weeks ago we dumped several hundred dollars into fixing this car after an incident (which I was at fault in), and it was enough to make me so angry that I was near tears (yes, I’m overly emotional… I guess…). I’ve had this car for only a few months. It’s brand fucking new. For all of my years of driving, I was cruising around in an ancient Volvo tank (god, I really miss that car sometimes) and didn’t have shit happen. I get a new, perfect car and suddenly I have a target on my back, or my car does. What is this???
Some kind of twisted karma? Is some greater being laughing at my exasperation? I highly doubt it but what coincidence. I wonder if that person even thought about leaving a note. Or thought about the fact that that car is probably paid for with someones hard-earned money. Or that they were ruining someones day (which, for me, turned into ruining a night of peaceful sleep as well). Never be the person who does this to someone.
The police officer I talked to said it was highly unlikely they would find out who did it. Sometimes people (witnesses) will call in or leave a note with a business where they saw something like this happen, but probably no one saw anything (his thoughts… I kind of think perhaps someone saw and couldn’t give two fucks). All I got from the whole conversation was amazement that a police officer is more optimistic than I am.
