That one Friday shift where three cars came in with the same exact quarter panel damage

Last month on a Friday, I had a 2018 Accord come in at 7am with a crushed rear quarter. Then a 2019 Accord at 10am with the exact same damage. Then a 2020 Accord at 2pm. Same side, same dent pattern, all from pulling out of tight parking spots into poles. By the third one I was laughing. Had to stop and call my buddy just to vent about it. Anyone else ever get a weird run of identical jobs like that?

Wait, three Accords from three different years with the same damage on the same day? That is wild. I had to read that twice to make sure I wasn't imagining it. You must have felt like you were in some kind of weird car repair time loop. I can picture you just staring at the third one and shaking your head. How do three different people manage to hit a pole in the exact same spot like that? That's the kind of coincidence that makes you wonder if the universe is messing with you on purpose.

oh man, that is absolutely wild, i totally feel you. i mean, i once had a week where three different subarus came in with the exact same failed alternator and the same weird squeak noise. it was like the universe was just copy-pasting the same repair order over and over. i seriously started questioning if i was losing my mind or if there was some secret subaru cult doing the same thing on purpose. idk how three different people can hit the exact same spot on a pole like that, but it makes me think there's gotta be some kind of weird design flaw or something in those accord front ends that just attracts that kind of damage. maybe it's just me but stuff like that makes you wonder if the car gods are just messing with you for fun.
