Feeling dumb

I gave an acquaintance a ride across town Sunday night, with his bicycle in the bike rack on top of my car. After I dropped him off, and was driving away, I heard a loud rattle coming from the roof of my car. I quickly stopped and surveyed for damage or loose pieces, and found nothing in the street or on the nearby sidewalks. In the process of trying to get out of my car quickly on a busy street, I slammed my pinky finger in the door and trapped it. It hurt so much, that I yanked it out, without opening the door first. I am so glad I didn't pull off the end of my finger. I finally figured out in the light of day Monday morning, that I had lost a moderately large rubber seal off the end of the bike rack. Not a huge deal. But man, does my finger hurt. And it's purple, very swollen, and quite sensitive. I feel so dumb. This is the only time in my life I can remember having caught my finger in a car door. I've always felt so certain, that I was going to avoid that particular misadventure. Sigh...
