So last night I was outside cleaning my car. The kid next door - about 15 years old is playing basket ball. I know he has hit my car before with the ball but I've never seen him do it.
So anyways last night right place at the right time WHAMO. He smokes my car with the basket ball. I've warned him before but all he did is talk under his breath and basically tells me to Fuck Off. So after he hits my car, obviosuly I get upset and start lipping him off about showing some respect for other peoples property and blah blah blah. Then he starts saying to me "so what, so what if i hit your car. what are you gonna do about it?". This just pisses me off more and i tell him off. He then says whatever, plays ball for another 5 minutes and then goes inside. 5 minutes after that his mom comes out and starts yelling at me about me telling her son off. So we argue for a bit, her lesbo neice comes out and lips me off too and that is that.
We couldn't see any damage cuz it was getting dark and all but this morning sure as hell, there are a few scratches. I got a quote from a local bodyshop and they said it would be $53.50 to fix. I know it's just a few scratches and it's minor but now it's all about principal. The kid, his mom and the lesbo cousin and their ignorant "so what" attititude now is gonna cost me money to fix the scratch and incovienence me cuz i have to take time off to drop off the car, pick it up and find transporation to and from.
What I am curious about is this. I'm gonna give her the quote for the repair but what can I do about the 1-2 hours I have to take off to drop off and pick-up the car and also transportation? Can I charge her for my time and stuff or what? The company I work for bills me out at $150/hr. I sure as hell don't see that on my paycheck but this is how much they bill me out for. Anyways I just really want her to see how her and her sons ignorance can cost them. How it inconvienences others when they show no repect for other peoples property and their inability to own up to responsibilty.
Let me know you opinions please. Thanks.
