Last night, as I was driving home, some punk kid decided that he couldn't wait an extra 30 seconds to get out of a gas station and he hit my poor car! I was stopped making waiting to make a left turn and he peeled out of the station and straight into my car's rear end! His excuse was that I was "inching" forward so he assumed I was going to turn. I wasn't inching of course, just sitting there at a stop.
So I got out of the car and started laying into this guy. Which probably wasn't a good idea since he could have pulled out a gun. Once I saw the guy and started to interact with him I was a little scared of him, so I called the DH and told him to get to me IMMEDIATELY! And to his credit he was there in a heartbeat.
Called the cops, they came in 15 minutes( a record I think!) and I was back home within 1/2 hour and on my way to agility in 45 minutes.
I think they cited him - which is good, I just hope he has good insurance. It's going to cost a pretty penny to cover my car, my car rental and the deductible.
It just makes me mad because it was a STUPID move on his part and now *I* am inconvenienced for at least a month if not more, in not having my car! Kudos to Liberty Mutual. They are covering a car for me for $30 a day and then I am paying an extra $1 a day to get a premium sized car. I refuse to drive around Atlanta in a dinky tin can. Plus Reilly has to have enough room to move around.
His car might have been damaged, but who could tell bc it was a true piece of crap.
And I had a hard time sleeping last night bc if you can't tell I am still MAD! ARGH!
On the bright side, Reilly ROCKED his agility class last night!
Here are some more pics of my poor car:
Oh, Steph, I am so sorry. That sucks! I am always annoyed when I see bratty drivers - though I am sure I was (and probably still am) bratty most of the time. It's just now I know how dangerous it is :-(
ReplyDeleteHope everything gets fixed quickly!
Thanks! Its just a big pain in the butt. And he was a real jerk about the whole thing.
