Curb rash
I am so mad at myself. While driving out of a parking garage, I didn't notice a curb to my right and hit my rear passenger side wheel with it. I was so proud of my flawless eight year old rims. Ugh.

I remember how pissed off I was after curbing one of my flawless wheels for the very first time. Unless you display OCD tendencies, though, you'll get over it. And that's not even very bad rash :D
(But yes, they can be repaired.)
One alternative is that the spare, at least mine, is a on the same alloy wheel, it not a steel rim, so swapping the tires between the damaged rim and the spare would be an option.
Yeah, that's not too bad. I scratched mine way worse last summer, twice even. Looks real nasty on a black rim. S%€& happens..
MCM has a pretty good video how-to:

I thought I had curbed my Prodrives the other day and nearly wept, then I got out and noticed I had just missed the curb.
Like Edvin and mtc said, shit happens, you'll get over it.
