Rant: Arguement over a little dimple dent

[dieselNUBI]

i just parked my auv right beside a honda accord, which was about to leave. as my gf got down, the door lightly tap on the honda's door.
as i got down, the owner of the honda is trying to check for dents. which he did and tried to point it to me. it had a dent alright but it was too small and too light. hardly noticeable. and then he goes "pano ba yan?"
i said sorry pasensya na. he told me hindi daw pwede ganon lang kasi i 'damaged' his car daw. ok then sabi ko how much would you like me to pay?
then he started blurting out na participation for insurance would cost... then i quickly interupted him. sabi ko walang insurance ang tatangap nyan. kahit PDR nga baka hindi tanggapin kasi sobrang light lang ng dent. then he goes to say that i still need to pay cause i did damage his car.
so ok. i gave him a hundred bucks. then sabi nya kulang daw. dapat 200. i told him na PDR only costs a few hundred bucks and yet i also told him na hindi talaga tatanggapin ng pdr yan. i even told him na kahit bigyan kita ng pang pdr mo e hindi mo naman ipapagawa yan kasi sobrang liit lang.
so the arguement goes back and forth until he tell me ' o cgena '. he took many shots of my car and his car from his digicam.

i was rushing that time to catch a movie so iniwan ko nalang. but in my mind bigla ko naisip baka gumanti ito. but still in a rush so pinabayaan ko nalang. (and mahirap mag hanap ng parking)
pag balik ko after the movie un agad check ko pag dating sa parking. i saw a 2 inch scratch on my door. scartch still has tiny paint particles dangling.

i hope the owner of the honda is a tsikoteer. i would like to know what would he replied.

[non-vtec]

imo, you should've given him his 200 bucks. i think most pdr's start at that rate.

[falken]

Binayaran mo na ginasgas pa ang sasakyan mo? That guy ought to be shot!

im a peaceful guy. and arguement thru words is fine with me. kaya sana wish ko lang na tsikoteer yan at mag reply dito. i like to know what he would say.

[dieselNUBI]

yes i know i should have given him 200. but my point was it even wasn't PDR acceptable. sobrang light lang. kahit na kapain mo ng fingertips sobrang hirap mapansin.

[slamtaz]

imo, he felt that he was the aggravated party and he expects you to be apologetic in your approach and because it appears that you even tried to be argumentative about the issue, this could possibly have flared him up... my 2 cents peace...

same here..

sakin lang, 300 sana binigay (since ang alam ko lang na PDR place is buendia auto center) tapos siyempre, kasalanan ko, so sorry mode. . i wont say na maliit lang naman. kahit papano kasi, your door hit his. too bad too that caught in the act(?). tapos baka na-wrong timing pa na bad mood siya at sayo nalabas ang sama ng loob. learning experience na lang. kaya pag kasama ang kumander, park nearer on your side 2 petot advice. cheers!

[dieselNUBI]

i was apologetic at first. nag sorry ako agad. and offered to pay. this in just the first 5 minutes of our talk.
ang ayaw ko lang is he goes to say that participation for insurance is costly. he also told me na kung ipapagawa nya isasabay na nya lahat ng dents ng gasgas nya. napaka BS diba?

sa mga sinabi nya mdyo nakaka asar lang. i would have given him more money if the damage is much more. a dent much deeper.

but in this case, like i said before. dent is too light. mahirap makita. mahirap makapa. anong ibabayad ko ipagawa? un gasgas n dents nya ng buong kotse?


peace tayong lahat. hehehe

[slamtaz]

well, if you put it that way, you definitely have a point coz he sounds like wanting to take advantage of your infraction.

pa touch up mo lang yan and let it go wala na tayo magagawa diyan... malas lang siguro

i agree, charge it to experience and let it go...

[dieselNUBI]

hindi naman masama ng loob ko sa scratch e. i drive almost everyday to diff provinces so pa minsan minsan may tumatalsik na bato, nasasagasaan na ibon ... etc. i get scratches whether i like it or not. but i still have it wax every month kaya hindi halata mga to.

[dieselNUBI]

hakuna matata... hehehe

[Eismann]

Lesson here siguro eh alis ka na lang agad para walang further discussion. Hirap din tanggapin na yung scratch alam mo kung sino gumawa. Pero tama ka, no worries!

[edl100]

Based from your story, Mukhang di disente yung guy na kausap mo...

na-offend siguro sa first offer mo na P100. I guess you should have given at least P200 para matapos na nga.

Then your hunch was right, ginasgasan ka pa... what a jerk... Kung medjo naka benz ka or bmw, then mas nakakatakot. Baka mas worse pa ang ginawa.

[BlueBimmer]

sayang..if 200 binigay mo baka di na nya galawin tsikot mo..oh well still no guarantees

[ghosthunter]

when the guy took pictures of your car... dapat ikaw din, pictures of his car and plate number.

[konde]

amen! para at least the other guy knows ns puede mo din syang habulin. ganyan gawain ko pag may gustong sumingit sa mga parking. i make sure that i get the car model ang plate number.

[raine]

baka naman nainsulto sa binigay mo 100, kasi baka pagkakaintrepret niya mumurahin lang ang kotse niya, and sa susunod ingat sa pagbubukas ng pinto kasi meron thread na dito na galit sa ganyan na pagbukas ng pinto parang walang pakialam sa ibang kotse sa labas kahit na tamaan ito. kasi minsan ilagay din natin baliktad ang sitwasyon baka pag ikaw naman ang gawin ganoon baka magalit ka rin. kasi bad trip talaga yung meron nagbubukas ng pinto nang hindi tinitignan kung merong tatamaan.

[XTO]

if i were you, i should've given him P200 para tapos na. then kunin ko rin plate no. nya but since andyan na yan, wala na tayong magagawa. let's just wish na he's also a tsikoteer, read this thread and explain his side . peace

[ch0k0y]

kasi minsan ilagay din natin baliktad ang sitwasyon baka pag ikaw naman ang gawin ganoon baka magalit ka rin. kasi bad trip talaga yung meron nagbubukas ng pinto nang hindi tinitignan kung merong tatamaan.

I think this is the perfect answer. Try to put yourself in his shoes. Eh kung me nakaparking nga na di ayos dami na comments ng mga taga tsikot....much more kaya yung pagbukas ng pinto na natatamaan ang katabing kotse (there was a thread in here about this). A dent is a dent, malaki man o maliit. Kung OK lang sa yo ang maliit na dent baka sa iba hindi. I know one guy who counts how many swirls he has on his car and if this case happened to him, am sure you'll hear more.

PEACE.
