My car was hit,
Or I hit something with my car.
Damages are not insignificant,
And might not be noticed by a
casual observer.
Repair cost of $1500.
Need for correction 0
Desire to get work done 0
Internal self monitoring
pressure 50% and rising.
I am cheap.
What is my comfort level with my
car looking like
An orphan in need of new front
teeth?
A problem.
I know the world will not
whisper
“Jerry is too cheap to repair
his car”
Friends’ sleeping habits will
not change.
I will not be expelled from my
poker group.
Whence my self-image problem?
I am a fraud. I flagellate materialism at every opportunity,
Yet, I’d consider standing in
front of the indented bumper,
By way of hiding the damage.
