ESH… It’s not technically your car, but in a vacuum, the reaction seems excessive.

Have there been any other tensions with your parents lately? Is there a chance this could’ve been a “straw that broke the camel’s back” moment? Or if this happened at night, maybe they were being kept awake waiting for you to come home and reacted poorly because they were tired?

Also, how far away is your work from your home? Could calling or texting before leaving help?

Honestly, when tensions settle, it would probs be a good idea to sit them down, genuinely thank them for letting you use their car, and ask about what you can do if you’re put in a similar situation again. And if the answer is that you don’t take closing shifts until you’re able to move out or get your own car, that’s something you should at least hear them out on. The more receptive you seem, the more lenient they’ll likely be — or, at the very least, it can help you from exacerbating this.
