This is like one of CG's stories


Local friend & parent of my kids play friend calls and says... my SUV won't start, can you come jump it..... I say sure, and hop in my trusty limited edition (only about 300 made)1997 Type R Integra, and proceed to back over part of my mtn bike (luckily i used to work in a bike shop, so I can true wheels), and also completly GOUGE my bumper with my bar-ends!!!!!!

$300 F'ing to fix it!!!!

She felt bad, but not bad enough to offer to pay for any of it... me, mr unemployed is supposed to pay for it all.....

I will get over it, but it pisses me off.....it is my fault, but i obviously only went out to help someone else.

At least I didn't run over myself on a tractor (CG's story)

I'd be pissed. I'd only be pissed at myself though. She only asked you to jump her off, not to run over your bike. Could have been worse, it could have a kid.

Besides you're probably more pissed that she wanted you to jump her SUV instead of her.

You've got a good memory, I need to be careful what I tell you. At least it's not Halloween yet. BTW, it wasn't me that went under the back wheels of that big ol John Deere.

 

i like to remember stupid things.... i usually forget to clean the house though.

Scot

 

That sucks Scot. Hey, when did you move to Missouri?

 

No good deed goes unpunished.

 

I always help people when I see them on the side of the road. Once I helped a lady who had a flat in the middle of December. It was freaking freezing and she had on a business dress so I told her to wait in the car. Anyways, in the process of fixing her car, I broke a 17mm deep socket. It was my grandfather's from about 60 years ago, hence I couldn't take it back to Sears and just get a new one. Anyways, I didn't have on a jacket and my back was kind of screwed up (it still is. ) but I fixed the flat anyway. So, I finish up and she gets out of the car and says thanks. Gets back in and drives away. Meanwhile, I'm standing out in the middle of nowhere, w/o a jacket on in 30 degree weather, w/ a screwed up back and a broken socket. None of this really bothers me (I've been in worse situations) but I was dissapointed that she didn't offer to pay for the socket. I would have said no but it's the principle of the matter. Oh well, life goes on... I hope.

 

I wouldn't be upset towards her. The accident was not her fault.

 

Scot, as an idiot, you are not alone. I once (about 35 years ago) walked out of my sister's house, jumped in my old Fiat 1100 sedan, and promptly backed into her '59 bug-eyed sprite parked directly behind me (It looked a little cross-eyed after that. Boy, did I feel stupid. All these years later, I think my bro-in-law returned the favor when he hung the front end of my S2000 up on a curb the day after I got it!

 

I'f be pissed off at myself also. Can't realy fault her for the damage.
