Yesterday was the worst day for us since we welcomed the new calendar year.
When I picked Sherilyn up from the enrichment centre at around 6ish pm, a Beemer car banged onto my car door!
I was about to start my car to move when this Beemer also wanted to reverse his car from the parking lot. My car was parked opposite his car. I waited for him to go first but shit, I saw the Beemer’s butt getting closer to my door. I honked like a mad woman non-stop and when the Beemer’s butt was just inches away from my car door, my mind was blocked. I wanted to wind down the window to holler but it was too fast, the stupid driver hit his new Beemer’s butt onto my car door! The sound of his Beemer’s butt kissing my Hyundai door was too awful. It was like a nightmare – to see a car so close to hitting yours yet you cannot do anything to stop it!
Long story cut short, the owner of the Beemer is the owner of a law firm, located just next to the enrichment centre. I had met this lawyer several times and we always gave a courtesy smile to each other. But after yesterday’s accident, Mr Lawyer ain’t that Mr Nice anymore. When I asked for his name card, he looked pissed off and asked me to walk up to his firm to get it from his staff. WTF!! Who knocked who now, hello? Are you short of hearing, of even loud honks? Or you had too many cases to solve in your head that you did not hear the continuous blasting honk? I sought the help of the guard from the enrichment centre (who is very chummy with this lawyer) to bring me to the lawyer’s office but everyone had gone home. So I asked the guard to help me get the name card today.
Actually, the damage to my car door ain’t very bad. There are white scratches on the door and the dent is about 1% bad. But having dull white scratches and a slight dent on the driver’s door look awful! Hubs said a polish may remove the scratches. I am going to ask hubs to call this lawyer to ‘king so’. I will leave this sort of job to the hubs.
Back home during dinner, Alycia dropped her bowl of soup and spilled the hot soup all over her hands, table and floor.
Hubs told me that he got his fingers squashed while he was at a client’s function yesterday.
And this morning at about 8am, I received 2 miss calls from Alycia and Sherilyn’s school on my mobile phone. No call from the school is a good call. I hate getting phone calls from my daughters’ schools. That scared the shit out of me. Hubs and I tried to call back the number but could not get through. Finally hubs got through and the staff in the office said that no one had called my mobile number. We were told by the staff that if something bad has happened to a child, the class teacher would call the parents. So far we have not received any call from Alycia and Sherilyn’s teacher yet. I can’t wait for them to return from school to find out from them what had happened this morning.
Dear God, please stop the jinx from falling on us further. Amen!

Thank goodness you or the kids weren’t hurt. Am sure your car can be easily fixed. What was the damage to the beemie? Think abt it, will cost him more! As an after thought, perhaps should have taken pics of the damage right there and then. Document everything including what the jerk said and his attitude, noting down date and time. Good luck!
Chris, it did strike my mind to snap a pic but then, the jerk was starting to reverse his car to go off. SO i tried to stop him, and then forgot all about the photo thingy, sigh!
