Rant over fender bender [plus collision advice na din]

[FrankDrebin]

Just think of this, your cousin's reputation is only worth Php12K. ;)

[chain]

baka makuha pa yan sa pakiusap. tell him your reasons.

if he doesn't accept it, then cough up the cash. tell him you're only paying him because magkamag-anak kayo and you don't want to further strain what's left of your family relations. btw, steer clear of him next time para makaramdam naman yan ng konsensya.

[Altis6453]

look at the bright side, now you know his/her true colours

Yep. Looking at it from a different point of view, for that amount you already know what kind of person he is.

[ILuvDetailing]

Expensive experience indeed, but like what other posters said atleast you know the true colors of your cousin. Lagyan mo na lang ng halogen likod ng pajero mo para maliwanag pag atras mo

[1D4LV]

hmmm. kung ako yan, di ko babayaran yan. what i will do is to tell his parents (my uncle and my aunt) about it.

kung hindi makuha dun, uupakan ko. i'll make sure that he will need stitches.
pagkatapos kong upakan, ako na (since you are a doctor) ang tatahi. i'll make sure, i will use the biggest needle that i can use (yung pang-gantsilyo).
tapos habang tinatahi ko, kakausapin ko sya about the 12k.

[BlueBimmer]

^hehe nice!

[kimpOy]

OTEP,

yan ba yung pinahanap mo ako ng piyesa sa apalit...pasensiya na medyo malimit akong pumunta ng apalit ngayon at saka usually repaired ang mga parts dun...

[fireblade]

Different folks, different strokes Relatives are hardest to please as they say.


OT

This is why I went for backing sensors and hindi pa nakuntento, I installed the same sa front bumpers. Guess what, when I switched off the front sensor one time while parking in Don Bosco church, whammm I hit a protruding bar which I can't comprehend why it has to be there.

[BlueGirl]

Malamang hindi nakatulog si Doc Otep dahil diyan..Alam kasi ng pinsan mo capable ka naman bayaran yung halaga na hihingin niya sayo..pero siguro mas ok na ganon nalang damage,malay mo kung nawasak mo yun baka may ibang masira mas malaki pa babayaran mo..tapos tulad ng sinabi ng iba , charge it to experience,next time ingat nalang kapag nsa vicinity ang mga tsikot ng mga kamag-anak mo..

Agree!

[theveed]

Was about to say the same thing...

[oldblue]

sabi nga ni Karl marx, "The Family is the first source of injustice. "

[theveed]

Isa pa, since ginanyan ka nya, make sure you ask him to sign some sort of waiver about your agreement para wala na syang habol at all sa ibang bagay...

[redorange]

Pay them the money and the anytime they need a favor from you charge them for it. No more free favors since they can't recognize the importance of family.

[alwayz_yummy]

TAMA! waiver/agreement na un lang ang pinagusapan nyo..panotorize nalang nyo para din legal.....

OT:

buti nga si sir otep pinsan, ako, mismong kapatid ko ang nagmura sa akin, kasi sa ingit...ngayon, lahat ng gawin ko pinupuna nya, kakainis...

[GlennSter]

pagbayarin mo ng kinain nila nung pumasok sila sa bahay mo.lech* sobra naman yan. Kaya sumasama ang tingin ko sa mga ibang relatives eh...samin mejo madugo din ang family issues. kaya kami nalang ang lumalayo at nagbabayad ng kung anu man ang kailangan para wala ng sakit ng ulo.

[empy]

i am sorry if this is disrespectful, but if that was my cousin i would bitch-slap him. seriously. pamilya na nga, pineperahan ka pa.

i too have been in the situation where family members i thought i could trust tried to screw me. i would pay him his 12k, have him sign the waiver, and tell him to not to show his face around here again...

[seonadancing]

baka naman may sentimental value sa kanya yun kotse, but even then, taga probinsya na sya alam pa nya yun Alex Restoration, nakngpucha sosyal. Pormado ba kotse nya? Kung ako babayaran ko na lang din yun 6k na kulang tapos bahala na sya sa buhay nya. Di ko na papansinin yun kahit kailan.

[OTEP]

Salamat sa mga payo. Ala naman ako balak takasan or anything. Feeling ko lang talaga tinaga ako.

Ayoko na din mag-suggest ng ibang shop. Kasi kapag iba gumawa, kahit maayos ang gawa, malamang madami pa kong comment na maririnig sa kanila criticizing the work of the non-Alex shop. Ganun talaga takbo ng utak ng tao minsan. Alex lang naman ang kinikilalang shop ng family nila. And to think, hindi naman nila malalaman ang tungkol sa Alex kung hindi nila nakita yung post-crash restoration na ginawa ng Alex sa Land Cruiser II namin. Nung araw nagpapagawa sila sa shop na 'Sleek Shop' ang pangalan na hindi ko din alam kung nasan. Wish ko na lang pumalpak ang Alex sa trabahong ito para mabawasan naman ang sobrang bilib sa shop na 'yun.

Besides, nabangga na din naman dati ng mas malala yung Civic na 'yun and wala naman silang balak isali sa car show o ano pa man. Daily driver lang. Appliance car.

Question lang, hindi ba fair lang na yung participation ng insurance (for their Php6k cash out) na lang ang bayaran ko? Kasi yun naman ang amount na assessed ng insurance na kailangan para magawa yung sasakyan? Parang yung pagpapagawa sa Alex Car Restoration ay 'luho' na lang on their part? Tama ba? Kasi as it is, sila na naglakad ng insurance and ang hinihingi sakin ay yung difference between insurance estimate and Alex estimate.

Hayaan niyo, next time ako naman gaganti.
