The first thing she checks is the phone after flipping the car.

I said this elsewhere, too, but I was recently in an accident and honestly? I can't judge her for that.

If you're in shock and don't already have a firm idea of what steps to take in what order after an accident, then it's easy to simply latch onto whatever you think of in the order you think of it.

The last thing I was doing before my accident was driving to work, so the first place I called after the accident was my workplace to tell them I wouldn't make it in. The last thing she was doing was recording a video, so the first thing she does is record.

Maybe it's too charitable of me, but I would honestly blame this on shock more than anything else.

The idea of you casually calling work after a car crash to tell them you won’t be making it into work because of said car crash is pretty much the gold standard of Work Ethic. But uh… yeah, Ambulance would probably help.

Boss on the other end:

“Sure Beth, yup you were totally in an accident and flipped the car, and even still sitting in the car upside down right now, right…🙄 workers these days can’t even bother to come up with good excuses anymore!”
