Some old bag hit my car!
Edited on Tue May-15-07 04:05 PM by bigwillq
:( :cry:

I am so fucking pissed. Some old lady rear ended me. I was stopped at a stop sign and she hit me. She told me her foot slipped off the brake. :eyes:
It needs a new back bumper...it's not too bad but now I have to deal with all the bullshit that comes a long with this. Who knows how long my car will be tied up, I'll need to get a rental car, need to go through insurance, blah, blah, blah...

I need a hug.


I'm sorry I am calling this lady old, I am sure some of you out there will find that offensive but her husband told me he was 77, she looked a bit younger and he said they both just got out of the hospital. I'm sorry but when people get to a certain age, they need to be re-tested for their driver's license. This woman should not have been on the road. It could've been worse. Thank goodness I feel fine now although my back will probably hurt tomm.

:(

4. Here's the hug
:hug:

In a few months it'll probably just be a funny story: "Yeah, no shit--there I was, just sittin' there and...."

At least that's how I like to look at stuff.

5. I'm sorry you got hit. I don't mind the "old" part, but do you really need the "bag"?
:shrug:

10. Yes
She didn't want to call the police. I don't know what was up with that. She's an old hag, bag, whatever I want to call her. I am pissed. At least she had insurance.

I know it could happen to any of us but I am keeping the bag part because I am still pissed off.

6. at least its not your fault
that should make the insurance and everything go faster.

My car got rear ended last year. I filed a claim with the other person's insurance and they took care of everything. I just had to drop off the car at one of their body shops (could have used any body shop, but theirs was a decent one). They made all the arrangements for the work and for the rental to pick me up. All I had to do was sign some paperwork.

7. Same thing happened to my Mustang.
Edited on Tue May-15-07 04:13 PM by texas1928
Little old lady turned to wide and scrapped across the back tire, gouged some of the hub, and cracked the every living shit out of my back bumper. I could not be mad at her. She was very upset. I thought of my grandmother and treated her like that. But she should not be driving. She was having to use a walker for Cripes sake.

Nice thing is her insurance was great, had someone out that same day, and had me a check by the end of the day. I had it fixed in about a week.

24. The same thing happened to me in my little downtown before they even got the traffic signal
on 9/12/01... a big rig driver(it's a truck route) "didn't see my car".
I chalked it up to the fact that everyone was pretty distracted.
I was supposed to get everything fixed, what appeared to be minor damage to the rubber-covered bumper and a slight crimp in the edge of the car's body behind it, for ~$750.00.
I waited for a while, the trucking co's insurance went under, and we got a check for that amount from the insurance commissioner. The bumper, with its little truck-license-plate-frame-bolt punctures, is still on my car. I went to my chiropactor a couple of times for neck adjustments, and used the rest of the money for cost-of-living expenses. :)
