So annoyed at myself damaged my car this morning

My H is exactly like you and always gets me to drive to town as he hates the mutistories (or we have to leave at the crack of dawn so there are loads of non-pillar spaces).

He once hit the car and scrapped it on the front corner. I didn't notice for 3 weeks. It was actually his parents who asked me on the sly 'Has A had a bump in the car?' I thought they meant something rude.

Don't worry! It's only a car at the end of the day. It might not even need fixing!

Ah you poor thing.

I can't imagine that scraping the outside would make the car unsafe to drive.

Personally, I'd just leave it but then I don't give two hoots about how my car looks. Mine is still missing the VW badge from the front and has a cracked number plate from when I went into the back of a mini bus.

I damaged my old car once not long after passing my test and just left it for about a year as I couldn't afford it! In the end my dad rubbed it down and repainted it himself to blend in with the rest of the car - it didnt cover the dent but the paint looked better (even though he did a naff job bless him, it started crumbling off again a few months later!)

Take it to a bodywork place and just ask them for a quote for a repair. They don't charge to give you a quote and you can take it to a few places to get a general idea of cost. They can repair a lot cheaper than it costs to replace it and you wouldn't know.

Also, ask around if people know of anyone that does it cheaply. I got my old car fixed just before I sold it, someone recommended a dodgy guy, rough as anything but he charges £150 to respray the whole panel and it looked wicked after.

And lastly, my H is just like yours, he would yell at me too! Accidents happen and it's not the end of the world, although it was you that did it, you can't help having an accident, don't beat yourself up about it.

After rereading mine it sounded a bit harsh! Sorry! I hope it's not too much damage!

I feel much better knowing I’m not the only person who’s done stupid things. I’m so annoyed I even tried to get into the space normally I wouldn’t even have tried to do it. I was so concerned with not hitting the other car I didn’t even think about the post. I’ll get a photo later when I go for my meeting but from what I remember its worse than just scratches I’m pretty sure that the Arch is cracked.

I’ll have to try get time to take the car to our local garage and see if he can do anything with it or recommend anyone to even do a patch job on it. I just need to hide it from my dad when I got pick up my dog after work he’s going to flip at me when he see’s it, he already thinks I’m awful at driving and parking. Driving I can do perfectly fine parking I can’t unless the space is big enough to get a bus in it.

I will no be avoiding multi story car parks again for a very long time. With the amount of things that have gone wrong for me and OH this year I can’t wait for 2012 to end.

I've just remembered something rediculously stupid I did a few months ago, that might make you feel a bit better!

I went to bluewater with a friend and went in their multi storey bit, she was pointing out how the car opposite had a 'funny face' while I was reversing into a space, I was too busy looking at that car to even pay attention to where I was going! I checked the passenger mirror and saw there was plenty of room her side between me and the next car and didn't bother checking my side as there was no car parked there. When I got out I'd parked literally about half a cm away from the hugest pillar you've ever seen, God knows how I missed it, I think I could have potentially taken half my car off ha ha! I got a picture of my friend laughing at it as it was literally the stupidest thing I've ever done...

So don't beat yourself up, everyone does these things!

We all do daft things.. Just that the men generally don't confess to it so like to shout when we do something silly to do with cars/ driving!

Last year I miraculously turned 2 lanes of traffic in to 3.. I was driving, had a shopping bag on the passenger seat (was actually a really nice shirt I had been to buy H!) which was sliding all around and distracting me, threw it in the back and when I looked up all the traffic had stopped infront of me!

I panicked, completely forgot how to drive, couldn't remember which pedal was brake so decided rather than slam in the back of the car try to drive in between them.. Completely didnt work and pretty much damaged every panel on my car.

Luckily only 1 other car was damaged which cost me about £500. I got a new car as my car was trashed and the repair was more than the car was worth! To make things worse I had just face tanned, looked like I'd had a mud bath and had to stand at the side of a busy road, in the rain trying to explain why I was such a poor driver.. I cried for the rest of the night why H provided endless rubbish food so that I didn't feel so bad xx

I know how you feel - i brought our car to work (underground most awkward carpark EVER!) and took a corner to get down not realised you couldnt take it in one and scrapped the passengers side door and bent it right in oops.

I got it fixed pretty quick as he couldnt look at it but scraps wont make it un drivable not sure about the arch bit though - maybe take to a garage and asked for a no obligation quote for the work

This morning, I had one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong. I was rushing to get to work and, in a moment of carelessness, accidentally scratched my car. The frustration hit me hard, and I couldn't stop thinking about how stupid I felt. As I sat there, fuming, I remembered how my kids have been obsessed with their toy electric F1 cars lately . It was a reminder that even in moments of frustration, it's important to step back and remember that mistakes happen. I’ll get the damage fixed and move on.

Totally feel for you, that sounds like such a stressful morning. Don’t be too hard on yourself, accidents like that happen to all of us at some point, especially in tight spots. The important thing is you’re okay. Maybe get a quick check from a local garage to make sure it’s safe to drive — even if it looks bad, it might just be cosmetic.

If it helps, I had a similar kind of day recently with my car AC acting up, and I had to rush for a car AC repair in Abu Dhabi , so yeah, bad car days really know how to pile on the stress. Hang in there, and don’t let it ruin your week.

I was already late and still had to take my car for a meeting 30 minutes away. Had to park in a really tight spot which always makes me nervous, and to make things worse, my AC wasn’t cooling properly in this heat. It just added to the stress. Later I looked it up and saw GMC AC Repair Specialists in Sharjah , so now I’m thinking I shouldn’t keep ignoring the issue anymore.
