My car was rear-ended this morning. The irritating part was that the lady driver insisted that it was not her fault as she claimed she didn't see me coming when she was about to make a U-turn. The right of way was mine and it was her dang fault as she hit the rear of my car. She insisted that I should have stopped since I obviously saw her about to make a U-turn. Dang double dang! It was so hard talking and explaining to the lady driver. Her son came by and we both decided to just call a police officer to investigate and make a report. The son called the police station and as he gave his name, my memory was jolted. I asked him if he studied in Marymount school and he said yes. I asked him if he knew daughter # 2 and he said they were classmates in elementary. The mom suddenly butt in and asked me if I had a son who studied at Southville. I said yes and bingo! Her daughter was my son's classmate from grade 1 to 4th year high school. The affinity made us decide not to call in the police anymore and just settle the problem amicably.
My Monday morning was ruined in a way. I was quite grumpy the rest of the morning and nothing seemed to cheer me up until this:

I am so glad you are okay and no one is hurt! It certainly is funny how things turn out some time huh?
ReplyDeleteBut, where I live it doesn't matter what the circumstances are. The one that rear ends someone is at fault no matter what.
I am glad it all got worked out and hope your car gets fixed quickly!

ReplyDeletehala, buti pa mga bata'ng eto. never tried this kalesa thing ever. i wanted to tho even just for fun...
@ shinade: the same scenario here: whoever hit the car at the back is at fault. however, the mom driver kept on arguing with me and even rubbed on the fact that our kids were former classmates.
ReplyDelete@ huling: ang kulit nun mom! grabe! sinabi pa na may affinity daw kami because of our kids being former classmates. kaya pumayag na rin ako na 50-50 just to shut her. para kasi kaming nagtatawaran sa palengke. pero i had the last say because i told her na "ikaw ang may kasalanan at hindi ako. ngayon para matigil na usapan natin and we could go on with our lives, papayag na ko."
@ nancy: horseless kalesa naman ito eh. lol
