So, today I encountered a man who symbolises everything that is wrong with the world. Here he is:
And here's his wife, desperately trying to avoid looking at me.
And this is the back of his Peugeot 508, which he reversed straight into my car, proving that even parking sensors aren't idiot proof.
As you can see, there's not really any damage to his car, other than the various scuffs and scratches on every panel which have been added to show off his immense driving skills.
This was the damage to my car:
Only a bit of a scuff on the bumper, no big deal really. In fact, when I approached him (taking note of how he opened his door straight into the concrete wall) I was prepared to let it go, right up until the point where he denied ever having done it.
Considering the bump was hard enough to knock my phone off the centre console, I found this very difficult to believe. Nonetheless, I invited him and his wife to look down at the scuff on my bumper.
They refused. As in literally, they kept their eyes firmly pointed upwards and no amount of arguing could persuade them to look down.
So, I began taking photos of them, and the cars, which made him realise I wasn't going to let it go, which forced him to start on the excuses. They were extremely convincing, ranging from:
That happens to all the cars who park here
Your car isn't a Ferrari
I like English people, my dog is English.
There is no damage to my car, so it can't have happened.
A bumper respray is cheap, you can easily afford it
But possibly the best of all was "I don't have any money", which he said as he was walking towards his large yacht which was moored in the harbour opposite.
I explained that I wasn't looking for money, and I wasn't even bothered about the scuff - it was simply the principle of him denying it and refusing to even look at the damage which had annoyed me. This seemed to totally confuse him, and he simply mumbled a quick apology and begun preparing his yacht.
I got out the T-cut earlier and the scuff isn't really that obvious now, so although I took a picture of the insurance details on his windscreen, I won't be pursuing it for something so trivial. It just annoys me that people can be such ***** when it comes to stuff like this.
