Today I damaged my car for the first time in my life. I cannot say too much because I was working and I am bound by very strict confidentiality. But, basically I took off the mirror while parking because my passenger tried to exit a moving vehicle into traffic. I turned to stop the passenger from exiting and lost sight of the side mirror for a moment. I didn't hit the break fast enough as I did this and brushed the tree I was parking next to.
I have been blaming myself for the damage and for not reacting better all afternoon. Sure, I could have done something different but in the moment I did whatever came to me. I understand that the safety of the individual is way more important than the mirror but I still feel like a failure for not being able to handle everything perfectly.
