Yup. I did this myself after I had been driving who knows how many years. We were all supposed to park up one side of the lot, with the other side for drop trailers coming in and out from common carriers. We weren't supposed to park our tractors in that row, but we had one driver who liked to park there, because it was an easy straight back.
So I came in one night, tired has hell, and started jacking into the hole at the far end. KERWHAM!!! I smashed the hell out of Ken's truck, sure as the world.
Called my boss, and we spent a few hours beating out the dents together until 3:00 in the morning or something. (That was a cabover with metal in front, not a fiberglass hood, incidentally.) He wasn't pissed, amazingly. "Serves him right. I told Ken no to park on that row. I bet he won't park there again, will he?"
I miss that boss.
But I still should have looked in the @#%@% mirror!!!
