This Week Sucked (and FAQ’s)

I figured it was time for a little update. I got a few questions/doubts(?) on my last entry (and with good reason since I suck at telling stories) so I figured I’d answer them here and that way update you all at once. Before I begin, I just want to say thanks to those of you who wished me well. I am feeling better, albeit a tiny bit sore, but it could have been a lot worse and I’m just glad my friend and I are okay and that this is almost over.

On to the questions!

Who the fuck drives with their leg propped up on the fucking dashboard?
Assholes.

Accidents are never fun, hope her car isn’t too damaged. And I hope the dickhead pays for all of it.
The car in front of us was totaled since it was a new model. Since my friend’s car is a 2007 it would have been hard to top its value so it’s not totaled but the damages could be in the $6000’s. And yes, his insurance will pay for it.

And I hope the insurance issue is okay, because I think that sometimes if you’re driving a car insured by someone else, there can be issues...?
Well my friend gave me full permission so it’s okay.

What a wank, why was he driving like that?!  Please tell us that he got in a lot of trouble for this!
Get this: He had been in another accident. That’s why his leg was in a brace. Oh the irony.

Woww is your friend devastated because of her car?
Not so much anymore because it’s expected that her car is going to get brand new parts and completely fixed. But the day of the crash, while we both were looking at the damages, we were really worried that it would be declared totaled and she’d have to get a new one. But all is okay now.

I talked to insurance reps all fucking day on Tuesday and it was a complete nightmare. Wednesday they still wouldn’t leave me alone and my friend and I met with the insurance rep for the guy that his us. Since I didn’t go to the doctor (I was mostly sore, and I didn’t feel like paying $160 to go to the clinic and get medicine which is what my friend paid) my insurance claim can be quickly settled, which is what I want. The insurance rep told me I’d receive my lost wages (I had to miss a day of work) plus extra money for “inconvenience” which comes to about $250. I wasn’t expecting to receive any money so this was a nice surprise.

I can’t wait until the weekend.


Wowsers! I’m glad things are working out with the accident as best they can.
