NO!
OMG! I totaly screwed up! aaahh! i borrowed my dads truck and when i went to back out i backed into another one of our cars. The car i hit is old and doesn’t run right now tho. OMG my dad is sooo pissed. I was so STUPID to have done this. it was such an accident, and i am sooo sorry but he doesn’t even want to talk to me. the truck is not too too screwed up; the right tail light is smashed. How can i make this better? anyone have suggestions?

i would let him be. just give him time to breathe, and calm down, the offer to pay for the damages
yeah, i’m definately gonna pay for it.
Pay for the damages, then let him have space to get over his mad, and to realize that everyone makes mistakes.
Keep it in perspective. A couple of years ago, someone I knew ran over a co-worker’s BABY with a car. Miraculously the kid lived.

omgosh that is so said.
… anyways just let him have time to blow off steam.
prove to him that he can trust you and pay for it like you said you were.
do everything that he tells you to do and never talk back just simple stuff like that he’ll see that you learned from your mistake
thats what my mom saidtoo….i feel so guilty. what if it was a kid!? i cant believe i did that! and i’m usualy so careful.
Just a broken tail light is extremely easy and affordable to fix, he shouldn’t even be mad. I once backed into a parked boat in my yard and broke the whole back glass of my car out. Anyhow, just don’t talk to him for a while to let him cool down and fix it in the meantime.
When I was a teenager I ran into a parked car because I was looking at girls!

me to excatly.. well it was one girl and she was in my truck with me :D
i never told anyone and no one ever noticed…
it’s been a year.
ok, i just went and told him sorry again and he didn’t want to acknowledge me. i know he’ll be mad for a while- but i feel better after apologizing again. facing him is the hardest part. i know i’ll have to avoid him for a while too, else i make things worse.
We all mess up in life and people get angry. It’ll take time and if there is anything you can do for him to repay him or do other things for him, errands, etc., after he cools down you might want to ffer that.
“We all mess up in life and people get angry”
…simple and helpful. thanks.

Maybe you should get some new mirrors because you’ve backed up into them before. OR you could stop backing up lol I dunno a way to mans heart is through his stomach, make him a big chocolate cake and Im sure he will forgive you.
let him take some time to think, then when you think the time is right, talk to him.

omg chocolate cake yesss chocolate cake helps everything!
Take him to Mcdonalds drive through for lunch….and what ever you do…DONT BACK UP !!
This will all pass my friend. there are very few mistakes you can make which no other kid has ever done to his parent before…
Accidents happen.
Though keep in mind you:
1)took the truck without permission (or did you ask?)
2)Hit something
Men love their cars…Pay for the damages and silently sit in the back seat for awhile/ take the bus.
If you’re Dad is anything like mine a week and a perfect puppy dog pout will fix everything.
Goodluck! :)
… redundant… but yea pay for the damages, let him know your sorry by doing favours for him, and let him blow off steam…
the repairs are finished now. meanwhile, he bought a new car and has moved on to yelling about the light bill. lol… ……….thankx for the comment!
