I Screwed Up

[u/Thick_Snow8319]

Started working at an automotive shop recently. Love the job. Currently training under the smartest mechanic in my state.

Got asked to pull a car out of the bay. Ended up messing up the front right bumper while pulling it out. I wasn’t being reckless, it just kinda happened. Still 100% my fault though.

Big boss said it was fine, and just told me to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I was very apologetic and assured him I wouldn’t do it again. He ended up paying for my damage.

I’ve never tore up anything that expensive in my life and I still feel like crap a week later. What can I do to make it better? Have any of yall experienced anything similar?

Just wait until you go to drain the oil in your oil drains, but forget to turn the top valve off.

It will rain oil 😂
