The Worst Thing I've Done

To tell you the honest truth, I really have not done anything really bad before, at least that I can remember. I have done some minor things before. I am far from perfect. I guess I could name one of those things. You might laugh at this because it is not really all that bad, but I guess I will tell you about it. One time, maybe this year, I was pulling into the parking lot at my job. I work at Old Navy. So, I was pulling into a parking space, and once I got into it, I was not very straight. There was a car in the parking space that was right in front of mine. So, I started to straighten myself out. The bad part about this is that I was supposed to be backing up to straighten myself out. However, I forgot to put my car in reverse. While I was going forward, I was pushing the gas pedal pretty hard because I think that I was running late for work. Next thing you know, I was going forward rather fast, and before I could catch myself to stop accelerating, I hit the back of the car that was in the front of mind with the front of my car. Thank God that my car did not get harmed. However, it appeared that the person’s car in front of mind got a little slit in its back bumper. I am saying that it appeared this way because I am not sure if that slit was already there or not. It does look like there was a good chance that my car did make that slit in that car because of the way that my bumper is made and where my bumper most likely hit the bumper of that other car. It was the area that was right below the license plate, and there was a little line of the bumper in that area. When I hit the car, it made a pretty loud sound. It also moved the car that I hit. I am surprised that no one else heard it. I was glad that no one else was around because then I would have had to respond to it. As you can probably guess, I did not tell the owner of the car, who was not in the car at the time, that I had hit his or her car. I did not even leave a note on the person’s car letting them know that I had hit it. So, to make it seem as though I had nothing to do with the slit that was in that car’s bumper, I pulled out of the space that I was in and pulled into the space that was next to the space that I was in when I hit that car. Then, I simply got out of my car and went to work like nothing happened. I felt very bad about doing this, and I thought about it many times. I should have let the owners of that car know that I hit their car. Now, I am more cautious about (attempting) to back out of parking spaces. This is probably the worst thing that I have ever done that I can remember.
