Remember when I talk about how I almost got hit by a car and I almost hit a truck while reversing. Today it did happen I reverse just step a little and it kept on going I stepped on the brake and it doesn't work so by the time I was scared/bad I could feel it going reversing and it did hit the back bumper of the car another one after I thought I was in "forward" gear but not so I stepped on the pedal and hit it again. I didn't know what to do I was still there and then a co worker saw me and she said how come I didn't ask for help. So I was going to go tell my supervisor about it and she said forget it just say like it never happen. I don't know if she tells others about it. I was hoping today will end fast cuz I feel like my heart is beating faster/nervous/bad/sad/crying. Would u guys tell your supervisor/someone or would u keep it shut act like nothing happen. I haven't use the mail truck since abt 1-2 weeks since that day happen but my supervisor asked how come he didn't see me using it. I told him I didn't feel like it. He said that they said (HR/office) wants it to be useful because the mail truck is especially used for deliveries especially for crossing the street. I felt bad cuz it did leave some marks to someone's car. I wonder if he notice today abt it and asked all his co-workers if anyone sees what happen. I wasn't there cuz I worked different departments than him. If he did ask me I would get nervous/stutter and probably tells the truth cuz I can't lie well/nor do I like to lie. Tell me yours opinions. What should I do if he do ask people/me tomorrow? I can't lie well plus I don't want to get in trouble. How much would the damage be? I didn't go fast .
bad/sad day at work/mini mail truck

oh my gosh little ..when you first told us bout that truck of yours..i would of reported it to the supervisor regarding the brakes..cause its your safety that is at risk!..
if i were you i would come out and tell the truth..trust me it would make you feel 10x's better.
some yrs ago..i did something of that nature too..i was backing up ..driving a stick..i was a newbie too..anyways. as i was backing up..i was more focused with the front of the car as to not hit anything cause it was parked up so close to everything ..i mean everything..even the skinniest person cant squeezed thru ..however i was looking at the front and backing up when i heard and felt a big scrubbing sound and so i panic * and when you panic your whole body just function the total opposite of what your mind is telling it to do..gosh ...i was driving a white truck..and it scraped against a red truck...made a huge scratch markings on the vehicle.
i felt so bad...at first i wasnt gonna say anything but i couldnt stay still the guilt inside of me was worst than getting in trouble if i was to be in one. so i finally decided to say something to the boss....and to my relief..it was the best thing ever..i didnt get into trouble... and i was told that things happen..and was glad that i atleast came out to tell the truth..and not kept quiet about it. *those words haunted me...cause i did think bout not telling anyone!
so my suggestion is to come out and tell the truth. it was not like you mean to hit the car on purpose..but then its already been one day since you hit the car..im sorry i should have read this thread earlier today!
anyhow i hope all goes well little!!!!
did u tell u boss the same day it happens? I'm not using again if my boss tells me how come i don't use the mail truck i'm going to say the brakes doesn't work plus they can't force me to use it i don't care for that truck anymore i don't know if i feel like working as a mail lady anymore it sucks so bad made me feel worse when I'm always a happy goer

Uhh. 1 you have to tell because if the brakes are bad like you said then someone else can be at risk also. 2 you're a grown person don't let a mistake like this keep you from being confident in yourself. 3 It's best to just tell because if you are indeed a grown person keeping something like this might result in greater lost thus pointing out number 1; someone might get into an accident. Also if you can't deal with it by yourself posting it on a forum isn't going to help you out anymore than what you already feel, and if you are contemplating the answer then you've already answered your own question because deep down inside you know you want to tell... now all you need is the courage to do it. At your age something like this shouldn't prove to be difficult.
