TIFU by trusting my sober friend to drive my car

r/

I went out with a couple friends this Saturday since I hit a nice win on grizzlysquest so I figured why not take my buddies out for a nice night out. I had a few drinks so I wasn’t planning on driving home. One of them who seemed totally sober offered to drive and I agreed.
He wasn’t drunk btw, he’s just shit at driving, but I thought since the distance isn’t far (literally 3 miles and the road is fully straight) nothing would happen. Well me and my 2 friends (3 in total) got in the car and he literally hit the car behind us when reversing out of the parking. At the beginning I freaked the fuck out, but then I went out and saw that the damage wasn’t a lot, but just enough to leave a dent. He was extremely sorry and he offered to pay, but I said I’ll cover it. We’re still all cool, but man lesson learned the hard way lol
TL;DR: gave my friend my car to drive and he crashed it

    bro that’s tough, but honestly you handled it way better than most would’ve. Like yeah he was sober, but some ppl just got NPC driving skills fr 😭 at least no one got hurt and the vibe with your friends is still chill. Next time just call an Uber and save yourself the headache, 3 miles ain’t worth a dent and a mini heart attack lol.

    That wasn’t a ‘designated driver’, but a ‘designated disaster’ situation right there!

    So ya’ll fled the scene of a crash??? You’re just fixing your car but not the car you backed into??

    Honestly you were right—he wasn’t drunk, just cursed 💀 next time trust the sidewalk more than a “sober but sketchy” friend behind the wheel
