I'm embarrassed to say that today I somehow was obviously not paying attention enough while driving b/c I 'tapped' the back of this man's car with mine. I was stopping behind him at a red light and somehow looked away or something and didn't notice how fast he was actually stopping or how little pressure I was applying to the brake and...oops. Thankfully it really was just a little tap but I was sure he was going rake me over the coals.
So we pull over and I begin apologizing and wait for him to asses the damage and ask for my info. There was only the slightest nick out of the paint on his bumper. He looks at me and asks "what happened?" I explain my carelessness. He Say's "How old are you?" I'm not getting where this is going but I say "29". He Say's "Really? You look a lot younger" (This is due to my new short bangs and minimal make-up I'm pretty sure :). I say "Well, thanks" He asks me where I am going and I tell him home. And, here's the great part...He gives me a hug, kiss on the cheek and Say's "Merry Christmas! Don't worry about it" And walks back to his car!!!!
Yipieee!!!
I was so flabbergasted that I don't even think I wished him a merry Christmas. Yes, the kiss on the cheek and hug in the middle of a busy street were a little weird but I will take it.
I'll have to pay this one forward.
Well, maybe not the kissing and hugging part but definitely the grace :)
