My unscrupulous offender was the son of Buddy, an elderly man who suffered from dementia and lived across the street from us. Buddy, who possessed a fondness for parking in the street, directly across from my driveway. Buddy who was a friendly and soft spoken man who I rather liked, even though his lack of parking finesse often caused me irritation when I was hurrying off to my allotted destinations each day. On this particular day Buddy had parked a little more in the street than usual and I never even saw his car in the mirror as I hurredly backed out,in the rain, four small children chattering at once, on our way to school. Buddy and his wife took the mishap in stride but it was his ill mannered son who caused me grief in the end as he hounded our insurance man for a check to "fix" the ding in his parent's old car. He finally did get his check, Buddy's car was never fixed and I also never saw him drive again. While my incurance company may have been fleeced of a shocking ammount of cash for what was clearly a run of the mill dent -- Buddy lost what was probably the last of his adult freedoms that day. If there is Karma I hope it comes around one day to repay his son for his lack of patience and kindness. He was, with out debate, one of the bigger asses that I have met in this life time. <BR/>See what you started Terri?

We...Thanks Myssie and Karen...er, I mean anonymous. We are letting insurance investigate and hopefully be the ones to point out that her assumptions about a door on the H-E family will not come to pass. And in my mind I will silently indulge fantasies of egging the few pristine inches of the silver bullet parked out front. It'll all work out and become yesterday's drama before long.Terri H-Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040095781752622030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211798007645114536.post-88554029667176801672008-01-09T19:17:00.000-08:002008-01-09T19:17:00.000-08:00There are surface dwellers everywhere and I have b...There are surface dwellers everywhere and I have been slammed 2 by unscuppulous insurannce scams- but I hold true to what our Father once told me, "The world is not fair, but that is no reason for you not to be".
