Did my truck get hit yet again?

I was backing out of a parking space after teaching guitar lessons yesterday. I stopped to look left and right and felt the (mild) impact. An older lady had hit me. We both got out to investigate the damage and decided there was none. I am glad I drive a 2008 Chevy Silverado p/u. Do what you must to me. Just don't kill me.

The older Asian lady was relieved as well. We exchanged pleasantries and went on about our business.

No way - again?? Lucky it was a mild impact - but also you were cool about it - and so was she - that is very rare.

Yes. It was pretty much a non-incident. She just decided to back out before I had cleared the scene.

@TheHorse Here, some people can get super upset - even over the littlest things. It helps when the other person is also as chill about these things!

@much2say She was a tiny, much older Chinese lady. She was probably relieved that the guy in the work truck wasn't some macho man jerk.

Your truck can take a beating and keep on going.

Glad there was no damage to both of you. I like my big truck. I drive a 2013 Silverado LTZ four door.

I hope it already has a dent or two, like mine. Drive on.

Driving cautiously has its rewards. I was not moving when she hit me . And she was not backing out like a teenager.

@RubyHawk I'm glad neither of us were angry "blame the other at all cost" types.

@TheHorse Accidents can happen and do. Glad it wasn’t serious though.

Let's hope it's not a case of things happening in threes.

I already thought of that. Should I back lightly into a pole (not a Pole) just to get it done with?

@TheHorse That mightn't be a bad idea. It's bad luck to be superstitious

but I do worry about the 'happenning in 3's' issue.
