Today was my first day at a new job. I showed up extra early suited up and ready to make a great impression. The parking lot was pretty full, but I managed to squeeze into a tight spot. As I was reversing to adjust I hit the car that was behind me.

I’d clipped the bumper. It didn’t look too bad but still pretty obvious. I took a deep breath, left a note with my info and headed inside trying to pretend I wasn’t already sweating through my shirt. Guess who walks into the office 15 minutes later holding my note? The guy who had just introduced himself as my boss. The same guy who’s supposed to mentor me. To his credit, he laughed it off and said, “well at least you didn’t ghost it.” But I could feel the second hand cringe from everyone who overheard us talking. Day one and I already fucked up. I know this shit sounds fake as fuck, but it literally happened today like I just don’t know what are the odds of shit like this happening

TL;DR: I reversed my car into my boss’s car on the first day of the job
