i wish this was one of those motivating entries that makes you want to be a better person. but im saying now 'don't!'..
i backed into another car (who, in my own defense, was parked out of his lot completely..) while parking yesterday afternoon. and as a matter of principles, i wrote a apologetic note and my number for the dude and put it in his windscreen. and i was prepared to pay whatever it costs..
next thing i knew, i had this yelling rude ah-zek hurling nasty remarks at me, refusing to go to my mechanic and demanding that i pay him $500 cos his mechanic quoted him so. on the other hand, my mechanic dude can do it for $80 - $100.. *sigh*
ok seriously now, it was a paint transfer, no dent, no broken parts and he was obviously trying to take me to the cleaners so i handed the whole case to my dad. who promptly told him to piss off. so we're settling this by the insurance company! yikes. such a mess.
and this whole time, i keep thinking, what if i just walked away.,,.
