I know I should be grateful that I was not seriously injured as an uninsured driver rear ended my car HARD on Friday…but that is not what I am feeling at all. I am feeling violated.
I am a person dealing with some intense and frankly awful personal issues related to my health. I have a much more finite amount of time left in this world that than most people in their 40s, and due to someone else’s negligence and irresponsibility I am having to spend a lot of that precious time talking to police, talking to insurance adjustors, talking to auto body people (the most obnoxious among generally obnoxious car people).
I would be much better off if he had simply stolen my car. I wouldn’t be physically sore and I would gladly trade a Saturn to be able to choose who I spend my precious time dealing with given my circumstances.
