Input: Text: i was just reminded of this story by another redditor's post today about a similar tifu story. obligatory it didn't happen today, but rather almost 30 years ago.   

at 14, i was driving around with a friend of mine from school (let's call him sam corbin) who was older, with a drivers license but no car of his own, so frequently drove his mom's minivan, an astro van. i don't remember where we were going...probably just cruising around thinking we were hot shit. at one point i asked if i could try to drive, a clearly idiotic request because i had never driven, but even more idiotic, he  agreed to let me...a 14 year old girl with zero driving experience, aside from go karts, drive his mom's minivan...in the middle of a torrential rain storm.  i eagerly got behind the wheel, and he started to give me instructions. we didn't get very far, when we approached a stop sign. there was a sedan in front of us, coming to a stop at the stop sign...i don't really know exactly what happened next, but i do know that the astro van was intimately, and violently introduced to the rear bumper of the sedan at a fairly high rate of speed. sam later told me he guessed that when the sedan stopped, i slammed on the pedal to stop... unfortunately it was the gas...not the break. immediately after the collision, sam screamed "my mom is going to kill me, and she's gonna kill me twice if she knows i let you drive!!!  jump in the backseat". i quickly obliged, sam jumped in the driver's seat and proceeded as though he was driving, and the driver of the sedan was none the wiser, likely due to the massive amount of rain obscuring her view.  sam took 100% of the heat for the accident, both at the scene and later, with his parents. 

i only told my bff about the incident, and sam only told his.  i was only at that school through my sophomore year (age 15), but for the remainder of my time there, sam and his bff referred to me as astro...a fun little inside joke.  there were no hard feelings, and it was all in jest. i moved to a different city in the same state for my junior, his senior, year, never to see him again...or so i thought.   

20 years later, i met and fell in love with a boy, now my husband, brandt. we started out long distance, but i eventually moved to his state, 2,000 miles away.  brandt had a large network of friends in my new town, and i gradually started to meet them all. one woman i really liked was named valerie, and she and i really hit it off. i had seen her several times after moving here, but i had never met her husband. after being here for 6 or so months, one of the guys in the group was having a birthday party, and valerie and her husband were going to be there. i was really excited to finally meet this husband she, and everybody else, spoke so highly of. when valerie walked in the door with her husband, we spotted each other at the same time...we both had confused looks on our face...he looked familiar but couldn't place from where...he had a similar look. he made a beeline for me and sat next to me on the couch, and the following conversation took place:

$fh is friend's husband 
$v my new friend, valerie 
$me, well me  

$fh: hi. you're brandt's new girlfriend, right. how are you? 
$me: good. *a little taken aback by his direct approach* 
$fh: so, i hear you just moved here. where'd you move from? 
$me: texas 
$fh: really, whereabouts in texas? 
$me: from all over really, but most recently austin.  
$fh: ah, a longhorn, i take it? 
$me: yup. hook 'em 
$fh: i went to texas tech. guns up.  
$me: hey, we're rivals! 
$fh: yeah, sure. *clearly not interested in talking football rivalries* so where did you live before austin? 
$me: i graduated from high school in houston, but i grew up, and spent two years of high school, in dallas.  
$fh: hey, i'm from dallas...what high school did you go to? 
$me: www 
$fh: *and then he yells*. you wrecked my mom's minivan!!!! 
*the room went silent and everybody was staring at us* 
$v: sam!!!  what the hell. you just met her!!! 
$me: *with a sudden realization of  exactly who he was, i yelled* oh my god!!!. you're sam corbin!!!!  i wrecked your mom's minivan!!!!
*everybody in the room is staring at us...2 apparent complete strangers, yelling odd things at each other* 
$me: *i looked around the room at all the shocked faces* his dumbass let me drive his mom's minivan when i had never driven before, in a rainstorm, and i had a little accident. 

we all laughed and told the group our whole store, which they all found quite amusing.  

but it doesn't end there...it turns out, sam, to that day, had kept up the lie to his parents that he was driving the van. his mother would often joke/poke about it, but he never came clean. his bride had never heard the story, and it never occurred to sam to ensure valerie didn't out him to his parents. so, the next time sam and valerie went back to dallas to visit his family, valerie, totally innocently, recounted the story of the night sam and i met...the second time. and 20 years after the fact, sam's mom finally heard the truth about the accident. fortunately, it was far enough back (and sam and valerie had just informed them they were about to give them their first grandchild) that they all laughed it off. however, i have unfortunately regained the nickname astro.   

ten years later, valerie, sam, brandt and i are all still very good friends, and we now have an annual tradition of watching the texas tech vs. ut football game. it's usually only when the longhorns win that he pulls out the nickname, astro.

TIFU by asking a friend to let me drive his mom's minivan, despite being 14 years old, having never driven a car and it was pouring rain.
