2023.03.25 02:02 thorne0793 I’ve hit rock bottom

First time posting and I guess I’m just kinda lost at the moment.
Recently got into a car accident that was my fault and in the event I totaled my vehicle. It was my only means of transportation for work. No car, no work.
Today I am going from making $24hr too $14 too be a lube tech at a oil shop.
I’ll have to walk.
I was a construction worker and without a means too lug my tools around I’ll feel stagnant and rusty when I come back.
I should mention I’m a young buck - age 21. I live with my dad and his wife and its hell.
They cannot lift me out this hole and I understand. But still hurts knowing my father cannot help me or more to say is unwilling too.
I also met a beautiful girl based out in Ohio and this is where my accident happened heading home after a day spent with her.
She is sticking by my side through this low.
I guess my question is how do I afford a decent vehicle on $14 an hour? I’m willing to grind my ass off but I’m still fucking mad at myself for ruining my chances at a better life. Feel like I’m starting at square one.
I have no support system other than this girl I have met and now am dating after weeks of talking.
Maybe this is the wrong sub but I’m not sure. Words of encouragement would be nice!

2023.03.25 02:01 Fickle_Ad_3554 [WA] Personal Injury Malpractice

I hired Dubin Law Group to represent me in a personal injury case, but my experience with them has been disappointing even beyond my wildest expectations. During negotiations, Josh Campbell, a professional bullsh*t artist, repeatedly told me that my case was worth more than the settlement amount, but he still strongly urged me to settle and accept the offer against my better judgment. It soon became evident that there was a lack of diligence, urgency, and care paid to my case. It seemed like he was only interested in settling the case quickly, rather than putting in additional research or effort to reach a satisfying result. Looking back, I felt forced to follow his counsel to accept the low-ball offer of $35,500 on nearly $19,000 in medical bills, barely enough to cover their 33.3% attorney fee and my own bills.
On April 6, 2022, I sustained extensive injuries, including a 2-inch diameter concussion and subsequent dent on my head, bruising, and injuries to my neck, arms, shoulder, both legs, and knees in a car accident in Seattle. I had difficulty walking for many months due to shooting pain in my knees, and I hired this firm to protect me during my recovery process. I finished all treatment in August 2022. I had to spend hours tracing down providers and insurance representatives during my workday, which was something I specifically hired this firm to do. Ali Waters told me during our last interaction over the phone that I did not have health insurance last year, which was not true as I had provided that information when I signed with the firm and they had it on record. Josh Campbell later said she misspoke, but it raised concerns about whether they cross-checked information for accuracy.
Furthermore, a majority of bills from this case have been sent to collections and I have been in the complete dark as to when they would resolve. My insurance company had no records of Radia or Green Lake Physical Therapy, and I had to personally bring all this to their attention and present relevant information to facilitate these claims. I never received detailed and itemized ledgers of claims, dates of service, or regular updates. It is their responsibility as my legal representation to ensure that all balances have been verified and confirmed as correct, but it is now clear that this was not the case.
I found additional errors with their balances at UW Medicine and learned more balances were in collections. When I brought this to their attention, I was met with more condescending and dismissive responses. It is very clear that this firm is incapable of taking responsibility for their actions and apologizing for their mistakes.
The lack of communication and negligence from this firm is deeply unacceptable and has caused me significant harm. I was then handed over to Rebecca LaLiberte the 'managing partner' to be handled and mitigated. It was clear immediately by her condescending tone that she did not take this case seriously and offered to 'set up weekly meetings over the next few months' as the case resolved and bills re-processed due to this firm's specific errors. I started to look deeper into the firm and ask questions around other firms as to their conduct and reputation. It is clear now that this is simply a high-volume firm and litigation adverse, meaning they try to settle cases as quickly as possible without consideration for the best outcome for their clients.
Even after I brought all this to their attention and they agreed to take 25% off the attorney fee, a slap in the face for the amount of time I have personally put in to get this case back on track. Rebecca LaLiberte, the managing partner, has now said to 'please move forward with filing a complaint with the Washington State Bar. We will cooperate fully with them and hold the remaining funds in trust.'
What can I do to hold these people accountable?

2023.03.25 01:59 zuzubee123 Help finding these dramas

There were two Cdramas I remember watching clips of on YouTube, maybe a few years ago. At the time there were no subtitles available for either one and I just randomly thought of them today and wondered if anyone knew the titles of either of them.
For the first one, the only thing I remember is the main girl had some sort of electric power. I'm not sure but I think the main guy was famous (an actor maybe) as well and I remember the female lead was very mysterious and that intrigued the male lead. That's all I remember, unfortunately. I kind of remember the first name of the male lead actor being Richard in real life maybe but I'm really not positive about that.
For the second one, I think the female lead is a teacher and she lives either on an island or in a beachy town. The male lead is rich and comes to work at the school. The female lead saved him when he was in a car accident when he was younger, where I think both of his parents died.
I wish I remembered more but that's all I can remember. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.

2023.03.25 01:54 LethargicWhale Company Vehicle or Vehicle Allowance

Happy Friday,
Switching companies & deciding between two options - taking a company vehicle or vehicle allowance. Base salary for the position is $96k.
Option A: Company Vehicle - Small SUV - $80 out of each biweekly paycheck - Insurance, gas, maintenance are all covered - no limit on using for personal use (gas still covered, but have to pay tax on personal miles) - would sell personal vehicle, worth $30k - vehicle policy is very strict, must get BAC tests after any & all accidents - cannot test over 0.04 BAC or lose vehicle + risk firing
Option B: Vehicle Allowance - I keep my vehicle (bought in late ‘21 & paid off) - $180 added to each biweekly paycheck (taxable) - my vehicle is still under warranty, minimal maintenance required (18k miles) - Warranty is 4y50k miles - Insurance costs me $105 a month & typically pay $75 a month in gas - I quite like my car
Is taking the company vehicle a no-brainer? I’m single & in my early 20’s so I do not have a partner with another car. If I were to sell my car, I have no immediate plans with the cash - would most likely invest 1/3 & place 2/3 in a HYSA
Thanks!

2023.03.25 01:41 Silly_Barracuda_7160 How probable is it to have a dwi early termination in Texas?

I’m on probation for 2 years. I was literally at a gas station sitting, after going out to eat, having my first drinks since my pregnancy… my car was off, keys in middle, compartment.. waiting for Uber (but my location services wouldn’t load) had my mom on the phone.
Anyways, I was arrested because I was way to honest that I had 2 drinks.. but it’s a very small county, and I thought being honest would help out… did not, I was facing two felony dwis for minors and child endangerment because I had my baby in my lap soothing her.. again. Car off, not planning to drive, trying to get an Uber.. no accident, no witnesses..
anyways this happened in nov 21, they finally dropped to a dwi misdemeanor, but I’ve spent $13,000+ and just want to finish out my obligations… I just don’t want this excessive time of paint for interlocks, drug tests, etc…
My lawyer said give it a year and we can file for termination… but really how likely is it?

2023.03.25 01:39 Silent-Material2092 AITA for expecting my husband to fund our car repair?

AITA for expecting my husband to fund our car repair?
This afternoon my (32f) husband (33m) backed my car into a pole while leaving the school parking lot. The back bumper has about a 6 inch long crack in the middle and also some paint marks where it hit the post. He does not think we should make an insurance claim (which I understand) but also doesn’t want to pay out of pocket since “it’s only cosmetic”. For context on my current anger, I had purchased my previous car before we were married and made payments on it by myself while we were dating and then got married. Last year, only two months after I had made the last payment, my husband crashed the car and totaled it while exiting a parking lot. We took the insurance payout and added a little extra to buy my new car. So even though we picked this vehicle out together, I still consider it my car since it is one of the few financial assets that I accrued by myself. My husband has an older sedan that was given to him by his parents. We only use it ever as a backup and rarely drive it. Since this is technically his fourth accident while driving my two cars, I told him today that I expect him to get the bumper fixed and that he should start driving his car only. Obviously he is pissed at me, but I’m so mad at him right now I don’t really care. AITA for asking him to get the car repaired even though money is tight? He has spent the last year buying and selling games/movies so it wouldn’t be hard to flip some stuff to cover the repair.

2023.03.25 01:28 emberellas Dealing with hoarding from far away

I am currently trying to provide support for my mom and my sisters as they deal with my aunts severe hoarding situation. Hoarding situation so bad she was living in a house without heat. Basement flooded and electric went out and she just didn’t bother to get it fixed. Attic probably has some raccoons. Garage roof caved in. Boxes and stuff just piled all over.
She wrecked her car, which is how my mom found out. It took her a week to tell my mom about the wreck and another week to get her out of the house to a hospital. Turns out she also has stage 4 breast cancer. She’s been lying to my mom and everyone for months if not years about her situation. She’s in her 70s, unmarried and no kids.
Over the years I’ve helped her clean and throw things away out at that house. I am not able to help as I don’t have the time from work or the money to travel out 1400 miles until the end of May.
I’m struggling with my own feelings of helplessness and rage at her for doing this to herself. For not asking for help a long time ago.
I know she probably thought to herself at some point that once the cancer took over there was no real need for her to ever see a Dr again or take care of herself or her house. She had a dog too— at least it was just the one, and the dog is being taken care of by my uncle. It’s also possible too that the pandemic triggered some of it (maybe a lot?)
I just wish I could’ve helped her more before I left. I’m trying to at least provide emotional support to my mom and call my aunt. When I FaceTimed my aunt yesterday she was very gaunt. Hasn’t worn her fake teeth since before the pandemic (which is why I think that’s about the time she just “gave up.”).
Anyway. I know the struggle is real, I’ve seen it in my own family members. I love them dearly but I wish I could make them see that I’d rather see them healthy than surrounded by unnecessary stuff.

2023.03.25 01:27 lighttodarktolight You can overcome this shit

I’m two months clean currently, went as much as 6 months clean in the past year but had a few relapses. I think confronting the truth of our addiction (or as close as we can get to it) means so much.
While I do not say this to promote gambling and am careful in how I word this, there is always the potential that you could start with $10, turn it into $100, then $1000, then whatever number that would clear your debts or sounds amazing to you. There is even then the possibility that after all of that winning streak, you would find a way to not engage with gambling anymore.
The problem is statistically the chance of anything like that happening to you is so low. Our emotional perception of statistics doesn’t help us on this point though.
3700 people die every day in car accidents worldwide. Does that fact stop us from driving? Yet we can literally look up the odds on these slots, blackjack, and other games and see our chances of winning is so low that unless you are playing with house money, gambling is truly not going to net you profit at the end of the day, in all likelihood.
Yet still there is that rare thought in the back of the mind “but what if I am the one”, what if I do hit that streak and I do manage to quit. That’s the thought that can cause relapses. But fundamentally, even if there is a chance you could be “the one” the odds of you winning and not giving it back are so insanely low that you need to remind yourself of this with logic.
Seek help locally, groups, therapy, telling family. I couldn’t have gotten this far and minimized the damage I’ve done if I didn’t seek help beyond myself. This addiction thrives in secrecy so sharing the load with others will make you more relieved and give you a better path to long term success. This addiction is a heavy one and it’s easy for it to make you feel like it’s too heavy to bare but the truth is you are far stronger than this addiction and on the other side of this addiction can be a person who becomes even stronger by having gone through the trials and tribulations and overcoming them. One day, one moment, one second at a time. It’s not easy but it’s possible. The power is within you to decide what you will do. You can do it.

2023.03.25 01:22 Ani722 Dad, do you have any advice on what to do when a close friend has suddenly gone MIA?

Two months ago, I (21M) met a guy a few years older than me on campus, and in no time we became best friends. We would message each other every day. I would hang out at his place, which was 25 miles away from my campus. There were days we didn't text each other much, but we did make sure to say good morning or ask how the day was going.
I'm very concerned because he went from very active to silent since yesterday morning. He was the one who would often initiate interactions, and I find it weird he's quiet. My texts don't reach him, and calling him leads to voicemail. It's been the second day, so I'm gonna wait a little more. I'd have checked on him, but I don't have a car. I just can't help but think the worst. He is a two-time cancer survivor. His father calls him every day, and his neighbors often meet him, so I hope they notice if anything is wrong.
I plan to go to his city in two days as another guy, and I made plans. He agreed to stop by his place so I could check on him. I've had friends go silent before, but this one feels different and unusual.
I'd love some advice. Thank you.

2023.03.25 01:21 thiskirkthatkirk Shot in the dark and an admittedly stupid question, but has anyone ever experienced check engine light coming on following windshield replacement?

I’ve got a 2014 WRX that has turned into the car from hell. I am asking this question solely in the hopes of someone relating some anecdote about benign codes after a windshield replacement. I say this because I am at my wits end with this car the past few years and I’m going to probably roll it off a cliff somewhere if there’s another major problem.
I got my windshield replaced two or three days ago and then yesterday the check engine light comes on. Car seems to be running fine.
For context: new short block at 105k despite the fact I’ve always been diligent with oil changes, don’t beat on the car, and have not done any mods beyond the Accessport OTS map. New turbo at 120k, and really the turbo didn’t have 120k on it as Subaru found that there was some defect with the turbo that came on the car about 10k or so miles into me owning (I bought it new). There have been other aspects of this car that seem to fail before you’d expect it to happen, but these are the big ones (power steering pump failed at 70k but hey that isn’t all that bad).
Shit happens, but naturally I was thinking new short block, new turbo, and countless hours (and dollars) spent at a very reputable Subaru mechanic and I would not be looking at this stupid check engine light for a while.
It might be nothing. I’m about to disconnect the battery in a few and see if the lights go away, then go get the code pulled if I can today (can’t find my code reader). Please someone tell me some crazy story about how a windshield magically caused a check engine light lol.
Also does anyone want to purchase a 2014 WRX hatchback with only 20k on the new short block and less than 5k on the new turbo? It’s yours. Actually just come pick it up.

2023.03.25 01:14 throwRApl33s My (33f) mom (50f) just moved in with me and I can’t handle it

My mom is living with me and I can’t handle it.
After 7 years of living in a city an hour away from home, I have now moved back to this city for college at a great school. Coming back here, my family is a huge burden on me. I do pretty well in life, although being a college student at age 33 I’m still struggling. I have an internship, full time college, and a dog. To make ends meet I am a camgirl as much as I can as it’s easy money and I already work over 50 hours between my internship and school.
6 months ago my mom lost her apartment due to the building being sold. She moved in with my brother, which I knew was a horrible idea, and lived there for 6 months. A few weeks ago, he kicked her out. They were arguing and she threatened to punch his girlfriend, etc. she has not been working as much as most people, part time at an easy job caring for a 3 year old with autism.
When my brother kicked her out, she started staying with her friend. It was not easy as they were fighting all the time and a few days ago, she called me and cried saying she had to get out of there asap and had nowhere to go. I don’t understand this as I had just talked to her friend whom I ran into at the grocery store and she had said they were doing fine, my mom could stay for 2 more months, except she was sitting around all day and not working enough.
When I was 19 I lived with my mom for a year. After never having lived with her before, it was the worst year of my life. One time she had a boyfriend over, and they were fighting at 4 am, I got upset because I worked at 6 am. My mom came out of the room after her boyfriend left and beat me saying “you made him leave it’s all your fault!” That day I went to the hospital and had to have my face drained of blood from two swollen black eyes.
It took me years of therapy to work through this, and I still have trauma from my mom. I have forgiven her so far, but certainly I’m not over it enough to be comfortable with living with her. We don’t get along at all. I’m extremely passive and calm, and she is the complete opposite. Extremely reactive and triggered easily. She can be verbally abusive and violent.
She crashed her car over the weekend. My dog went missing and she took it upon herself to go look for him. I told her not to, as driving around wasn’t going to yield results, and she did anyway. She got into an accident which was her fault as she ran a stop sign. She now has no car, and nowhere to live.
Today she asked me for a ride. I asked her hat for and she said she wants to go hang out with her friend at a hotel. I said, I don’t think that’s a productive use of your time. She blew up and screamed at me, told me she never wants to see me again, and left with all her things.
This past few days I am not doing well. I am not able to cam as she’s in the house all day and it’s just not private enough. I can’t bring myself to tell her that if I’m not doing that I won’t be able to afford my apartment and neither one of us will have a place to live. Her father (my grandfather) has offered her to come stay there in Puerto Rico for a few months as a vacation. She refused this offer, as she doesn’t want to leave her life. I failed my exam today as I’ve been so overwhelmed emotionally that I couldn’t focus. I still have trauma I’m working through with my mom, and I need to be working or I’ll be homeless too. I don’t know how to handle this.

2023.03.25 01:14 Bigrandomman Was just in a car accident.

So I was driving on a back road and a truck in front of me begins to slow down without signaling he was turning& got into the other lane(oncoming traffic) completely. There was a boat on that side of the road so that’s where I thought he was going, I tried driving past him (in the correct lane) and he turned into me. He got out very angry& I thought he was under the influence, we talked some and he seemed to get worse, also asking me if I was high/ if I had weed for some reason, but there had been relatively no damage to his truck. He was freaking me out so I decided not to call the police. He told me his place of work and the accident was right outside of his house.
My door is messed up a bit and I hit my head but I don’t believe I have a concussion or anything. Any advice on what I should do? I’m in Louisiana.

2023.03.25 01:13 mjventure71 25f going out alone?

This may not be the biggest deal the world I know, but I would like some advice and opinions on going out alone. I (25f) have very few friends and those I do have are either far away or on the opposite work schedule so I can't hangout with them much. I'd really like to go out and even possibly make new friends... But I get so self conscious and lonely when I'm by myself and have really bad anxiety that something bad could happen, like getting drugged or a car accident because I wasn't 100% sober. But if I go out I have to drink otherwise the self consciousness and loneliness turn into depression. It leaves me conflicted on if I should go out and if I do how not to feel so terrible about it because in reality I don't care about being alone, it just makes me feel like people stare and talk about me and THATS what makes me uncomfortable

2023.03.25 01:10 Th3t4w4v3 TIFU by sending nudes to a dead guy

Obligatory, this happened just happened over the course of the last couple of weeks.
It all started when I matched with this guy, let's call him Martin, on Tinder. We hit it off right away and started chatting for hours on end. He was funny, smart, and incredibly charming. Eventually, we decided to exchange numbers and continue our conversation over text.
One night, things started to get a little heated between us. We were flirting back and forth, and before I knew it, I had sent him a few risqué photos of myself. I trusted him completely, and I knew he wouldn't share them with anyone else.
The next day, I woke up to a barrage of missed calls and text messages from Martin's friends. I was confused and scared, wondering what could have happened. It wasn't until I turned on the news that I found out the truth.
Martin had died in a car accident the previous night. He had been driving home from a friend's house when he lost control of his car and crashed into a tree. The impact was fatal, and he died on the scene.
I was devastated. Martinhad been someone I had just started to get to know, but I felt a deep connection with him. I couldn't believe that he was gone, and I couldn't help but feel guilty for sending him those photos. What if they had somehow distracted him while he was driving? What if he had been looking at them right before the accident?
As if that wasn't bad enough, things took an even darker turn when the police got involved. They found our text conversation and the photos I had sent him, and suddenly I was a suspect in his death. They thought that maybe I had been the one distracting him with the photos, or worse, that I had somehow caused the accident myself.
I was interrogated for hours on end, and it felt like they were trying to pin the blame on me. It was a nightmare. In the end, they ruled his death as an accident and cleared me of any wrongdoing. I just left the police station yesterday
I learned a valuable lesson that day. Sending nudes to someone you barely know is never a good idea. You never know what might happen, and it's just not worth the risk. Rest in peace, Martin.

TL;DR I sent nudes to a dead guy and ended up as a suspect for his death.

2023.03.25 01:07 venus_comet Question about RGB (?)

Hi. I'm extremely new to PC's, I've never owned one, so forgive me if this is a dumb question.
I recently pawned a PC, and the lights inside of it/on the front of it were red (it's a built gaming pc, also, what is this called? Is it the GPU that changes colors?)
I have no idea what the terms are for these things (which is also why I didn't bother trying to build one tbh)
I've been trying to figure out if I could change the color from red, but I never found a clear answer, although I did download some programs and try to change it in my GPU (?) settings.
I eventually gave up after trying everything I could find online and nothing changing the color.
Yesterday it was red, but now its yellow?
Is there something wrong with it? Did I change something by accident? It never changed yesterday but today its not red anymore. I have no idea what's wrong (?) with it or what I did.
I also don't know what it's called so I don't even know how to look it up for answers. :(
ETA: I didn't try changing it to yellow yesterday either.....but either way, it never changed colors and I don't know if like a connection is fautly or if a piece is bad or what....

2023.03.25 01:05 Chocolil Should I get this Chevy Spark 2020 1LT?

I'm currently driving a 2004 Saturn Ion. It has been giving me issues for a few years and the amount of money I've put into it I could have put towards a new car. Evap issues triggering CEL that 4 different shops can't find the leak. Just put a new compressor on the car because AC wasn't working and the dye showed the entire compressor had leaks around it. While that is fixed apparently the evaporator also needs to be replaced. It lasted me good while. I bought it at like maybe 120K miles back in 2014 and its at 199K miles now so it did good by me. Honestly if it wasn't for the AC issue and the evaporator code I'd still drive it until it died on me. Maintenance of it is the only issue I'm thinking of getting a new one.

My bank approved me for a 25K loan on a car and I've been looking for a small but upgraded car to get now. As long as it has bluetooth, power locks/windows, automatic, and small I was good. I saw this little Chevy Spark on Carfax and honestly I'm loving everything about it. 52K miles, no accidents, all the features I want. Really small looking vehicle too. I don't really do road trips. My trips are usually 15-30 minutes long. Work, shopping, basic stuff.

It's listed at ~$15500. I'd probably pay 5500 out of pocket so the loan would be $10000.

2023.03.25 00:57 Outrageous_Proof_812 Cross-posted, hopefully this is allowed

What are my options?
So my income is at a standstill. I went on medical leave and I am not yet back to work. In that time I also learned more about Autism Spectrum Disorder and how it affects me (I was diagnosed in September) and I honestly shouldn't go back to the job I had anyways as it is poorly suited to my neurotype. I am in Alberta, Canada.
I was also taking a program while working and was hoping that I would be able to do both but I basically just fell apart. The program is a data analytics program for people on the spectrum through my community college. I also have a Master's degree in Social Work and a BA in Sociology. But now that I know my diagnosis and sensory issues I don't think I should do any type of front line social work.
I was on medical employment insurance benefits from the federal government but that ran out. I applied to both long term disabilty benefits through a private insurance company and the provincial disability program but that is in process.
My placement is paid but my school is still trying to secure a placement. I am applying for jobs otherwise. I even applied to Upwork and Fiverr but I don't feel yet skilled enough for some of the projects and some of the other work I don't feel comfortable doing because I hurt my back when I was in a car accident. On that note I have a minor tissue injury claimed and I am... waiting on that as well. I will be able to make rent and i filed my tax return and I'm waiting on that. I am filling out the form for the disability tax credit and my psychologist needs to add something to it but she's on vacation for a few weeks so I'm waiting for that. I honestly even applied to be a chat operator for one of those sexting lines and I'm waiting on that. I have one thing I'm gonna sell, and that will give me maybe 300+$, otherwise I'm kinda stuck while I'm waiting on this stuff. I accessed the food bank so I'm ok for food. I just paid off a chunk of debt with the savings I had so I can eventually go on income support.
What else can I do to get money that wouldn't compromise my health or safety?

2023.03.25 00:50 thisthrowawayexists Had a very minor car accident months ago with no damage and where the other driver waived me off as I was walking to his car, no info exchanged or took any pictures

So the title is the gist of it, however I'll explain it more here. In short, I was an idiot that day back in October. Was trying to turn left on a 4 lane street with two lanes going in each direction. Realized it was a bad idea since the two lanes going in the opposite direction was right in front of me. I realized then that I was probably too far out into the street and I could've been hit, so started reversing without checking behind me because I suck. Bumped into the person behind me at around 3-4MPH. Immediatly put my car into park, hazards on, and got out to go talk with the driver. I'm maybe halfway to his car when he says these exact words: "You got very lucky, no damage. Just go." I understand I probably should've taken pictures or gotten info or something, but hearing the word "go" I was like "Oh OK!", so I got back into my car and left. The thing is I drove maybe a minute after that to the grocery store that was right next to the turnout that the accident occurred at to check out my car more extensively, and saw that it looked like basically nothing happened. The other driver could've very easily followed me, however he didn't, and I've never seen him since. After that day, I've gotten nothing from anybody on it, however I'm still worried that I could be arrested for hit and run even though I did talk with the driver. Yes, I understand you should always exchange insurance info, take pictures, file a police report and the like, but you legitimately can't tell anything happened at all. Also, unless he took a picture of my license plate, he doesn't have anything on me, which makes me feel bad however he was able to get our of his car and move around just fine, so I'm thinking no injury happened from this as well.
Honestly, I'm just worried I could be arrested later. I had no ill intentions when driving off after he said to go, but it makes me feel like I did something wrong. Is there anything I should be doing here, or do I just take it as a lesson learned to always exchange info no matter the severity of any accident?
