So glad that no one was hurt. There’s a reason why I always back into my driveway –
that way I am driving out forward, with excellent visibility. Try it; you might like it…

I sympathize with the repair “sticker shock”–such a tiny bump and so expensive! I’m just glad no one was hurt.

In reply to Kathy Pulda.

Hi Kathy! Welcome back! You’re right–although he did tell me he had parked on the street, I didn’t see where, and I thought he was on our side, not the opposite. So, yes, I certainly wasn’t anticipating it, to my dismay.

Good for Al! I always think of a working car as just a future recycling project!

Oooo Evie. (That “ooooo” is in a sing song voice). I’m surprised at you, keen observer and self reflector that you are, that you missed IMHO the #1 takeaway point of this whole experience. You said it yourself in your narrative, in not so many words. We are creatures of habit. What we don’t expect to see we don’t see.
Alan’s car was not where you expected it to be, in the street. So even though you looked you didn’t see it. The hardest thing for us to do is to really be aware of our surroundings when our expectations are for them to be the same.
