I can't decide if I am more upset by her wrecking both of the cars or if I am more upset that she is always up my ass about my driving abilities when I am driving the new car because she thiks I will "hurt" it. ughhhh
So I am posting the pictures of the damage to each car. I would like your opinions. Should I be mad? Should I make Iris pay to fix the damages to the new car? Should I just accept her apology and forget it? How would you react?
Picture Time:
This first picture is of MY beat up old car. Not as mad about the damage done to this one because let's face it. It is an old POS car.
This is a picture of our NEW car. The one I have only made 1 payment on so far!
So what do you guys think? I can't wait to read your comments!
Holy crap, Romaine!! Heard about this on the show. Your wife owes you BIG TIME!!
ReplyDeleteLove the show

Romaine,
ReplyDeletePunishment is in order! You should beat her ass with a paddle!
Oh Romaine, Your new Honda,very upsetting. I would be upset, but it was a "stupid" accident.
ReplyDeleteGet the new one fixed and give Iris the old one(dented). You drive the new repaired car from now on !!!!
Oh Romaine How upsetting!!! I would get the new Honda fixed and drive it from now on. Let Iris drive the beat up old car, dent and all!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would really mad for both reasons! She should have come in to get you before leaving the scene.
ReplyDeleteAfter letting your cats be killed I hope you don't make Iris be an Outiside wife.
ReplyDeleteholy S!! Iris is a very bad girl!
ReplyDeleteI think you should put one of those big orange flags that we used to put on our bikes when we where younger on your car...they are tall enough and are neon orange and if she cant see that she should be riding a bike and not driving a car !! Good Luck
ReplyDeleteOh that is upsetting. Let her off the hook and be sweet about it. (Secretly you will know it will be eating her up inside that she didn't have to take just a little bit of you being mad at her so she could be guilt free. The sweeter you are, the more guilty she'll feel.)
ReplyDeleteThere are more important thing in life than a dent on a car. If it were me, I would have some semi-violent punishment sex, then forget about it.
ReplyDelete1st a question... Why is the damage so low on the new car and so high on the fender of the other car? Is your driveway on a hill? If so maybe Iris couldn't see your car too well while backing out? That being said... she should have told you right away!
ReplyDeleteThat accident was totally avoidable, you could be driving the new honda to work in the city and it would stay in better shape than iris driving it.
ReplyDeletelife happens...
ReplyDeleteOMG, I would be livid but then at the end of the day it is what it is and you have to ask if that really matters....life matters...material things not so much. Get the Honda fixed and you drive it and love Iris!!
ReplyDeleteShit happens! Hope your deductible is small and tell your insurance company on separate days that somebody hit your car in a parking lot. Don't ever mention you backed into it! Somebody hit you and took off.
ReplyDeleteGot some advice from a friend who is an insurance agent with a heart.:)
Go to MAACO and have her foot the bill. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy is Iris driving the new car? She had a Hyundai for many reasons, this was one of them. I love Iris to death but she deserves extra chores for that one. M would have kicked my ass. Buy her a car seat so she can see out the back window.
ReplyDeleteshe hit your car and didn't leave a note?!
ReplyDeleteupsetting..YES..but remember..it was just a stupid accident..lets face it..as much as she is after U to be careful with the car.. doing this wud be the LAST thing she wud ever want to happen.. i think u should just accept the apology.. fix the cars together.. and move on..hehe..made for gr8 radio tonite..but reality is that's just something both of u can and will laugh about down the road.. drive careful!!
ReplyDeleteRomaine - I am in insurance so I can say that is one costly mistake. If you were here in Colorado where I adjust cars, you would be looking at around $300 to $500 for your old car and $700-$1000 for the new one. It'll probably be even higher where you live.
ReplyDeleteIf you have collision coverage on both vehicles, check with your insurer tho - as I know my company (as well as many others) will waive the deuctible if two or more insured vehicles are in the same accident.
Anyway, Iris owed you big, I like the idea you expressed about using this to justify getting your own new car :)
Wake up, Iris! Be aware of your surroundings. but don't beat yourself up over it. Then, both of you move on and get on with your day. It was an an accident and accidents happen. Get over it. But, learn from it; be aware and next time, communicate when something happens. Keep everything out in the open. Then, you're both free to accept what is and get on with life. XO
ReplyDeleteshit happens, the only real issue here is...why didn't she tell you face to face? It was an accident...are you that difficult to talk to that she is afraid to talk to you when she KNOWS you will be angry. your first reaction is normal, upset and angry, but it was an accident, not a deliberate act of meanness! that is what insurance is for....
ReplyDeleteIt's not worth being mad about, nor is it worth committing insurance fraud. Ask yourself if it will matter in a year and then go about fixing it, rather than obsessing about punishment.
ReplyDeleteDon't lie to your insurance company as suggested, that is never a good idea. Forget the small damage to what will be junk in 5 years anyhow. Your relationship is worth far more
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be the first to sign up for your "DIVORCE CRUISE".
ReplyDeleteYou know, if it would have happened to me and the BF would have done this, I would be LIVID.... but, in the end, after all the dust has settled, it's still just a car, an object, a thing.... besides, unlike a shopping center hit-n-run, at least you have the satisfaction of knowing who did the damage!
ReplyDeleteWho's Iris.?
