judecorp | Cursed car

In true "Yes, This Is Really Our Life" fashion, we were rear-ended at an intersection this evening. We decided to head up to the Whole Foods at Symphony (mistake #1) after a quick trip to Target, and while we were waiting for the light to change at the crossroads of Mass Ave and Huntington, some dude decided he wanted to go around and pass us on the right... only he wasn't paying attention and didn't give himself enough room and rubbed the whole passenger side of the rear bumper with the front/side of his car. Guh. Scraped off plastic and paint.

Even better, Jen knows this guy as a teller at the bank where she does deposits for work. And he apparently got his car a week ago. And was really whining about not wanting to go through insurance, and wanting to pay out of pocket, etc. I /hate/ being in those situations. Because you know what? Insurance here SUCKS and having to pay claims and raise your rates even further sucks more.

We didn't have cell phones on us (mistake #2) so instead of calling the police and the insurance company, we took down the dude's info and told him we would get an estimate. After we give him the estimate, if he does not make /immediate/ payment I am going to go all insurance on his ass. I hate to be a non-trusting person, but ugh. We had NO fault in this and the last thing I want is to get screwed.

Jen says the car is cursed. I don't buy that. I think that WE are cursed.
