Nov. 24th, 2009 09:54 pmOk, I was so pleased today morning with myself because I had found the lady who owns the car that allegedly crashed into mine, but what I found out was all but nice. In the morning I tried to phone twice at the university but she wouldn't answer so I asked the priest, but he had no phone number nor knew who she was married to. I decided to try and phone someone who had her same maiden surname and lived not too far from her and ... bingo! It was the lady's mother's house! I explained the matter with the car and the old lady who answered the phone gave me the right phone number and told me the daughter was home with a flu. I phoned her and explained again the story and she said "ok, we'll pay for your car. Just go to the garage and get an estimation of how much we have to pay for". I went to the garage and the man there told me it would cost some 350-400€ to get it all fixed. When I phoned the lady again her husband answered the phone and told me he couldn't see how his car could have caused that much damage and if I was that kind to go to their home and show them the car. I phoned mom and together (I don't trust myself much when it comes to this sort of things) we went to their house. It turned out that the son (allegedly in his 20s) is in hospital and was under tablets when driving and he surely wasn't able to drive properly. And they said they were hopeless and that he kept causing so many troubles...The mother actually even said she'd rather be dead than have to deal with all that much...It was painful! Anyway both the boy's parents didn't admitt that the damage was caused by their son. They agreed the handwriting was the boy's writing but they said he wouldn't be sensible and maybe hadn't really caused that crash...I was confused... I mean, I got the note on my car and it is clear in my opinion that it was the boy to do that dent...Bah! Finally I told her we'd go to our insurance company and they'll sort it. Turns out that we've got the same insurance company...And when I went to tell them about the thing they said I should wait for starting a case over it, that we could still try and sort out things private and that I could still look for another cheaper garage and that they could still pay me by cash. Allegedly the boy had already caused serious crashes and the insurance of that car is already pretty high that it would be too bad if it got even higher becayse of this crash... Ricky says I should go for it... I honestly feel guilty about the whole matter because it is not too much money (even if it is not little money either) and I would be a burden to that family who's already dealing with such a huge probem... Still... They shouldn't have let the boy drive if he was under tables! What if he'd hit a boy instead of my car?! Still, I am none to judge such a tough and nasty situation... But now I think...what should I do?! Blah! It'd have been better if the boy had left no note at all!
I did nothing useful (i.e. no letter writing nor reading nor walk with Rolly) today afternoon, because I spent all time going from garage, to the lady's house, to the insurance company... But I will hopefully catch up on the wasted time tonight. I wanted to chat to
badmadnad on MSN but it won't work tonight for me... Bah! I txted her to please come on Facebook instead (that isn't thrilling, since that chat is tot crap) but she's not coming so...either she can't log in (in what case it would be such a nuisance!) or she hasn't read my txt at all. I will stick to writing my letter to Outi instead.
I am watching Without a Trace on TV and Rolly's asleep at my feet...what a cutie!
