program will not compete at the varsity level just yet,
waiting at least one year to grow internally before taking
(05:46):

nine point one. Sunday ninety nine point one, it's seven
to eleven. Now I'm Dana with producer Anthony. We've got
Houston's best variety of the eighties nineties and today I'll
never forget. I was at the Woodlands Mall. Big gust
(06:59):
of wind came by right as I was opening up
my car door, boom slammed into the truck right next
to me.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Whoops. I was so mad. I was like, this just
isn't fair. I know you've seen the dent that it left.
Oh is it bad?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So yes, And I'm like, I had no paper. I'm
looking around for anything to write them, and no, because
you know, you just you know, there's cameras if you're
just thinking about driving away.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I'm at the mall, there's got a camera. Something caught you, right.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And so I found a piece of paper i'd like
a newspaper and wrote my number on it, said so sorry,
left it under their windshell wiper and got a call
and my husband dealt with it. You know, I still
have to deal with that because of the the insurance
rates before.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Oh, because it goes iadged their car, right, Oh, well that's.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That I didn't damage their mother nature their car. But
according to the company, it was actually, we are nearly impossible.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Question.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Thirty percent of us feel guilty about doing this, and
I'm thinking, no, it.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Was sixty of us, which is good. The majority of
us feel guilty.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Should know, you know, no, even if the wind did it,
I still felt terrible.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
You do convenience someone else and you damage somebody's vehicle.
You don't want to be done at. I get it exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And sometimes we just aren't paying attention when we're pulling in, yeah,
or parallel parking, you.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Swing it too much, like and this happened to me
two What is it? Oh my gosh, it's two or
three years ago now on the way to work. I
remember telling you it was right at the light at
uh St Felipe. My car has one of those things
where if you press the brake all the way down,
it like auto shuts the engine down. But it was
that summer where I think it was that record breaking
summer we had, Like it was just it was insanely hot,
(08:36):
and I didn't want to push it all the way
down because it killed it cuts the ac off. So
I found this, like if you push it just most
of the way but not all the way, it'll stop,
but it doesn't cut the engine off. And so I
did this. I rolled in and you know what, and
you know what it was. I was looking, I was
at the stop, there was somebody in front of me.
I had plenty of room. I'm like, let me. I
was preparing to get here. I grabbed my badge and
(08:57):
I felt this little boop. I mean it was just
that or just a tiny little boomp, and I was like,
oh no, and then you know, the lady gets out.
But she was super sweet, super understanding, cheered my info
and took care of it. It was but it was
also an insurance thing too, I had. I had to
go through all that, Anthony. I actually followed someone who
hit a lady. That's a wide turn and we were
at Katie Mills Mall. She took a wide turn. Yeah,
(09:19):
you hit this sweet old lady.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
The little old ladies like looking around the one and
these two girls take off.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I followed them. They say not to do that because
of what could happen.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I saw what you did, and that is so wrong.
You come with me and they did.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
That's amazing. So the issue that could have turned out
so different. I know it what I understand.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
You can give it to God on that one. You
know what about you?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Have you ever hit someone's car? Yeah, you just kind
of left or whoops, you left a note? You made
it right? Seven to one through or did someone do
that to you? Seven ninety nine one Sunday ninety nine
point one Houston's Best Variety of the eighties nineties. And
today I'm Dana with producer Anthony, and we're talking to
you about hitting a car and you leave a note.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Do you drive off?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
We found that sixty percent of us feel guilty when
we're kind of in a parking lot or anything, you know,
we hit ding the car. Yeah, got to leave a note,
got to do something. And we're asking you if that
ever happened to you. We've got Mary, a stay at
home mom in Angleton.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Did this ever happen to you?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Mary?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I actually did that last year at my friend's school,
and I actually got out and less a note.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh you did, okay, so tell us, but tell us
how this went down. Very embarrassing, especially if someone was
watching you.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well, you know, I asked at the school. It belonged
to somebody. They told me you did it, but I
didn't feel right, so I left it. It ended up
being the assistant principles.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh no, yeah, oh, you saved your child from getting
kicked out of school.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Right, that's amazing. So what did you just pull in
and nick the car or what?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yeah, I turned a little too wide.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It happens, did you kind of go along the side
of the car. Was it just a little maybe hitting
the bumper type thing?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
It was just a bag bumper?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Oh thank god? So what did what did you say
in the note?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Hey, I'm sorry I hite your car. This is my
name and my number. Just giving me a call so
I can give you my information by insurance information? Right?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And did the assistant principal call you or talk to
your child?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I know her husband actually called me because she was
still at ort. And then we you know, exchanged information
and it was taken care of. And then when it
came to renew my insurance, I completely forgot that I
had scented her car and my premium went up.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh yes, forget about that, right, Yeah, that's a bummer.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well let me and be honest with me.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Was the principal's husband assistant principal's husband.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Was he nice about it? Or was he a jerk?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Oh? No, he was really nice.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Oh that's good. That's good.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well that's a happy ending then, But bummer that your
insurance premium went up. How many years do you have
to wait for that thing to go back down again?
Isn't it like five years?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I believe it three or but I'm one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Sure what a bummer as simple mistake, right, and you
even did the right thing, and still you have.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
To pay that higher premium. Yes, well, Mary, thanks so
much for sharing your story.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It happens to the best of us, and we're so
glad you listened to Sonny.

rates before.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Oh, because it goes iadged their car, right, Oh, well that's.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That I didn't damage their mother nature their car. But
according to the company, it was actually, we are nearly impossible.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Question.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Thirty percent of us feel guilty about doing this, and
I'm thinking, no, it.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Was sixty of us, which is good. The majority of
us feel guilty.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Should know, you know, no, even if the wind did it,
I still felt terrible.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
You do convenience someone else and you damage somebody's vehicle.
You don't want to be done at. I get it exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And sometimes we just aren't paying attention when we're pulling in, yeah,
or parallel parking, you.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Swing it too much, like and this happened to me
two What is it? Oh my gosh, it's two or
three years ago now on the way to work. I
remember telling you it was right at the light at
uh St Felipe. My car has one of those things
where if you press the brake all the way down,
it like auto shuts the engine down. But it was
that summer where I think it was that record breaking
summer we had, Like it was just it was insanely hot,
(08:36):
and I didn't want to push it all the way
down because it killed it cuts the ac off. So
I found this, like if you push it just most
of the way but not all the way, it'll stop,
but it doesn't cut the engine off. And so I
did this. I rolled in and you know what, and
you know what it was. I was looking, I was
at the stop, there was somebody in front of me.
I had plenty of room. I'm like, let me. I
was preparing to get here. I grabbed my badge and
(08:57):
I felt this little boop. I mean it was just
that or just a tiny little boomp, and I was like,
oh no, and then you know, the lady gets out.
But she was super sweet, super understanding, cheered my info
and took care of it. It was but it was
also an insurance thing too, I had. I had to
go through all that, Anthony. I actually followed someone who
hit a lady. That's a wide turn and we were
at Katie Mills Mall. She took a wide turn. Yeah,
(09:19):
you hit this sweet old lady.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
The little old ladies like looking around the one and
these two girls take off.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I followed them. They say not to do that because
of what could happen.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I saw what you did, and that is so wrong.
You come with me and they did.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
That's amazing. So the issue that could have turned out
so different. I know it what I understand.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
You can give it to God on that one. You
know what about you?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Have you ever hit someone's car? Yeah, you just kind
of left or whoops, you left a note? You made
it right? Seven to one through or did someone do
that to you? Seven ninety nine one Sunday ninety nine
point one Houston's Best Variety of the eighties nineties. And
today I'm Dana with producer Anthony, and we're talking to
you about hitting a car and you leave a note.
Speaker 2 (10:04):

Speaker 1 (10:05):
We found that sixty percent of us feel guilty when
we're kind of in a parking lot or anything, you know,
we hit ding the car. Yeah, got to leave a note,

I actually did that last year at my friend's school,
and I actually got out and less a note.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh you did, okay, so tell us, but tell us
how this went down. Very embarrassing, especially if someone was
watching you.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well, you know, I asked at the school. It belonged
to somebody. They told me you did it, but I
didn't feel right, so I left it. It ended up
being the assistant principles.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh no, yeah, oh, you saved your child from getting
kicked out of school.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Right, that's amazing. So what did you just pull in
and nick the car or what?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yeah, I turned a little too wide.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It happens, did you kind of go along the side
of the car. Was it just a little maybe hitting
the bumper type thing?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
It was just a bag bumper?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Oh thank god? So what did what did you say
in the note?

name and my number. Just giving me a call so
I can give you my information by insurance information? Right?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And did the assistant principal call you or talk to
your child?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I know her husband actually called me because she was
still at ort. And then we you know, exchanged information
and it was taken care of. And then when it
came to renew my insurance, I completely forgot that I
had scented her car and my premium went up.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh yes, forget about that, right, Yeah, that's a bummer.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well let me and be honest with me.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Was the principal's husband assistant principal's husband.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Was he nice about it? Or was he a jerk?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Oh? No, he was really nice.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Oh that's good. That's good.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well that's a happy ending then, But bummer that your
insurance premium went up. How many years do you have
to wait for that thing to go back down again?
Isn't it like five years?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I believe it three or but I'm one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Sure what a bummer as simple mistake, right, and you
even did the right thing, and still you have.
