Whenever I return to my car I always check the sides to make sure nobody has damaged it in my absence. Totally anal I know, but there you go, I love my car. SO I picked up my daughter and my 'friends' oldest son, whom I shall call Damian. Put baby in his car seats. Car all clear. Got to Damians house and deposited said spawn of satan in his home andfriend arrived home with son number 2, Lucifer. Lucifer starts riding his bike in circles round my car. Im sweating. But thinking, chill out, the mum is around she will be ok (Im sat in the car chatting to her) Lucifer decides to come and say hello to baby so I let back passengers side window open and he hangs off the window frame. Im thinking chill! WHen I hear a thud and the bike drops to the floor. I thought 'Im not going to make a scene' so I wait till I get home and there is a FU***** great scratch the size of the channel tunnel on the door where Lucifer was. (OK, 3 inches, but it has gone right through all the layers of paint so is glowing like a white streamer on the side of my dark blue car. Still with me? (this is like therapy! great to unload! )

I phoned my friend who immediately admitted liabilty and told me to get a qte and I now find its going to be £200 to fix and as soon as she knew that she turned into a completely different person to the one I know. A grade a Biatch. She told me to chill out and said she doubts Lucifer did it as she was standing right behind him (I will almost put money on the fact that she saw him do it and tried to cover up) and then she says she hasnt got £200! She lives in a 5 bed house has a brand new BMW and Ford Galaxy. Whatever. What are people like? Looks like Im going to get screwed by her and Im f****** LIVID as I may have already mentioned! MY car looks like it's ready for banger racing now and I have gone a bit mental and donet even want to drive it. ( I have PMT which makes everything 10 times worse-sorry boys). SO my q is, if it was your child or you, would you hold your hands up and be honest or would you be a minger like my friend and try and worm your way out!
Be honest!

Id CONFESS !

Just a quickie,

I bought for the first time ever a brand new ute, in oz

Got home, with my pride n gleamin joy...

Son number 1, greets me, by ramming rear end of ute, with his quad bike

I cried like a weeping wet fanny in a bowl of spring onions !!!!

I'd pay it and be honest but then thats me. In this case I would honestly threaten her with legal action and get a solicitor to write a letter if nothing else. Not much of a friend are they ???

Some friend!! I'd want revenge, but wouldn't have the nerve to do anything about it . If I was you I would explain to her how retentive you are about the car and that you know for certain that there is no other way your car could have been scratched. If she still insists on not paying then dump her (unfortunately the school run will double for you though) and tell everyone at the school gates what she did.

A kid became unsteady and fell off his bike and his handlebar deeply scratched my mates motor from back to front. His mother had a look and said "oh, that'll 'T' cut out!"
He said "you're having a laugh ain't ya?"

He pays his excess (£150) and tries to claim it back.

The kids mother explains, "no probs, I've got a 3rd party insurance for things just like this"

Great, me mate thinks.

His insurance company explain, don't even think about trying to make a claim against a minor, can't, and will not be entertained.

Beauty he says, "I just love giving away £150"

"Now where is that squeezy bottle?" he thinks.
