RBJTimban’s Crib

I had too much beer last night, and I signaled to my wife it’s time to go home. It was around 12.00 a.m, and it drizzled a little bit. I started the engine and reversed, and suddenly I heard a sound of denting metal. Oh no! My wife told me that I had hit a friend’s left front car door. I paused for a moment, then off we went home. Without even bother to tell our friend about the incident. All I knew was I must talk to her about the damaged door the following morning.

This morning she called my wife up and insisted me to look for the door replacement. I had to comply as it was my mistake. A first mistake since owning a car for more than a decade.

When I looked at the calender, I was struck in awe at today’s date – Friday the 13th. I had refuse to believe that such date would bring bad luck, but when I looked back at the time I hit the friend’s car, then I had to accept the fact. No… after this, Friday the 13th is just an ordinary date. It was simply me, who was careless and had had enough beers. It’s a good lesson learnt.
