Default Rant: Just Hit A Mailbox

This all happened in the past 1/2 hour

I was leaving my house to see The Breakup movie. It was 11:50 and the movie started at 12:05. I told my gf we wouldn't make it and i rather just shop first or do something else and see the 1:45 so we wouldnt be rushing. shes like, noooo, you are wasting time lets go.

So i pull out of my house, make a turn, and then halfway down the block, there's a huge construction semi-truck parked, and its taking up half the road, and to add, theres a whole bunch or gravel / rocks next to it.

I pull close to te right shoulder, but i honestly never remember going unto the sidewalk, but i apparently hit a mail box. i pulled over and was

i am pissed and i went back home, got the clear detail out and after cleaning up theres still many visible startches

i am so pissed right now and had to rant.
i am sorta pissed at my gf too becuase i told her not to rush me and she kept pushing.

Sorry, no sympathy for stupidity. You don't "just hit a mailbox" with a car.

I don't know, man. Those things come out of nowhere real fast. I have a rule about hitting stationary objects. Guess who is at fault.

Almost sounds like you could have had your own "Breakup Movie." Sorry to hear. How does she feel now after rushing you? Men always wait for women while they're getting ready, why can't women wait for men?
