Apparently I posted a day too early...

So after complaining yesterday about traffic during Ramadan, today someone bumped into me on the way bringing the beans home from school. Fortunately, it was merely a fender bender. But the guy seemed perplexed that I insisted on getting his name and number and details. The traffic was stop and go and he decided to change lanes because the other one was moving faster. The cars in the lane in front of me stopped. I stopped as well. Unfortunately, the guy behind was paying more attention to the lane next to us than me. As a result he scraped along my back side panel.

Now, there are several things that are annoying about this. First, El 3atal is not here to deal with it. That is truly annoying. Second, the guy sees some friend of his who comes to see what happened and says, oh it's just a smudge. It's just paint, it'll come right off. You know, that may, indeed, be. But if not, what, I'm supposed to pay for it? The hayk attitude really drives me nuts. Yes, it may be as simple as a little buffing and the dealership may not charge me. but, until that's determined to be the case, you need to take responsibility for the hit... The gentleman in question, did in fact stop. After much confusion (his English was, in fact, not quite as good as my Arabic), I got his name, number, and such for El 3atal to deal with when he gets back. So, now I'm covered and won;t have El 3atal yelling at me for this man's stupidity...

So, again, I wish each of you the ability to stay in your home from sun up to sun up during this Ramadan. We're taking our lives (and cars) into our hands when we venture out. Would that I didn't have to!

Happy Bump and Rolls!
