Hit & Run

A couple of months ago, I finished my class and headed to my car, and I found out that someone hit it and the driver's door was dented. I looked around and this is what I found on the windshield:

Really?!?! How blunt can you be to leave such a lame note WITH A 10-DOLLAR BILL? You really expect me to get over it instantaneously because of your 10-dollar compensation? It would've been a lot less frustrating without the 10 bucks. Knowing that you thought you can buy my forgiveness that cheap just sickened me. I looked around looking for clues and found nothing. I cursed with everything min el sirr o nazil.

If you had left me your phone number, and explained your situation to me, I swear I would've let it go. At least I have a liability insurance policy, so it would've been covered. But of course, you didn't. Bastard!

I went to the police and got me a case number. Not that I was expecting anything from the police since I had no witnesses nor clues except for your lame note and 10-dollar bill. I just needed a case number so I can talk to my insurance agent. Fortunately they covered hit-and-runs.

Fixing the car costed me $220 and it looks fine now. Last weekend I got the check from the insurance, and guess how much it was for. $900. Yes, nine hundred dollars. Dollar yen6a7 dollar. So here is how it breaks down:

$220 Repairing the car door.
$280 Pain, Suffering, and Cursing.
$300 Renewing my insurance (which was due yesterday ironically).
and
$100 Just for the good feeling.

Add to that I used your stupid 10-dollar bill to get me a foot-long sub from Subway.

This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm about to move into a new apartment and I'm going to travel this summer with my family, so every dollar counts. See, sometimes what's bad turns out to be good eventually.

You who hit my car. If you're reading this, THANK YOU. And no, I still don't forgive you. Sucker!

NY,
They indeed did me a favor. But at the heat of the moment, I was just looking for something kick.

JB,
Don't you just hate it when you make your financial plans for the month/week, and you get hit with a fat traffic ticket like that?

Sorry babe. I already spent it on my new apt deposit. But I got a plan for you. Park your car somewhere and I'll come hit it and run away. Let's rip your insurance company off. Don't tell anyone.

Vintage,
I wish I had taken a picture of it. But trust me. It looked ugly.

Blossom,
Khal ewally zain terkeeh 3annich. The note was lame. "If I ever get more, i promise i'll pay." How the hell are you gonna pay me while you have zero contact with me. And the 10 dollars were even more lame. Poor college students can't afford my university's expensive tuition and they don't drive cars.

Yea I should probably a3zim my friends on 3asha or donate some to cast a blessing on the money. Don't wanna brag too much :P

Jewaira said...

My sympathies ;)

Jelly Belly said...

awal shay bel baraka 3ala your new place...
and I'm not so sure if I wanna go with your plan...coz my insurance is from this small Mexican insurance company...ilee sa3at I wonder if they are legitimate...LOL

Unknown said...

Jandeef, just for future reference, whats your insurnace company? sounds like a company i can be friends with :D

Jandeef said...

Jewaira,
Ee wallah ee wallah ee wallah.

JB,
Allah ebarik feech.

Lol. Hey that's still good news. If you could prove their illegal, you could still sue their asses and rip them off for real. 50-50%?

They might be legal, but the workers might be illegal aliens. Try to go there and sound your car alarm off. Let's see if they run away. No offense my mexican readers :P

Snookie,
I don't think there's any insurance company that you can be friends with. Yea they paid me $900 for an accident, but they've been robbing me for the past 3 years.

Anyway it's American Family Insurance =)

Bo Salim,
La tig3ad eddafi3 3anna int elthani. A white trash american doesn't need to sue. That's why there are insurance companies. They pay for this stuff.
