No good deed goes unpunished.

Ok, I give up. It's hot as blazes here today. As I drove home from the hotel after sweating all day with no AC, I saw one of the employees from the supermarket down the road from me beginning her walk home. I don't particularly care for this girl (in fact I avoid her line) but into my head popped the idea to gove her a lift. I know she lives pretty far away from the store in the next town. My car AC was cranked up to the max and it felt good. I figured it was my chance to do a random act of kindness. She was walking in the opposite direction; I had to go around the block to pick her up. As i was rounding the block, and moving some stuff off the passenger seat so that she could sit, my water bottle (yes, water) fell over and I tried to catch it. As I did, I managed to side-swipe a parked car. It was an old, beat-up car with no paint left on it and I caught the chrome around its back wheel well with the side of my car and scccrraapped the whole side of my car from front wheel to back. I left plenty of paint on the other car's chrome around the wheel, but no other damage to it. In fact I think it IMPROVED the look of the other car. My car is a mess. Luckily the owner of the car said not to worry about his ratty old car; it didn't matter. Needless to say, I was so aggravated I went home opened up a bottle of Selaks SB and let the girl walk home. Isn't there something wrong with this picture? Is anyone up there paying attention, for cryin' out loud?
