so! what happened..... i was driving to school on wednesday morning..just the usuals...then after getting off queensbourough bridge..there's this lil hill thing u gotta go up..n STUPID cars alwaaaays try to budge from the left lane..so all cars kinda stay VERY CLOSE together so ppl don't budge...so..dunno what i was thinking or doing...i was moving up the hill while waiting for a red light..n while i was going up..the next thing i see is a car 2cm away from me!!!! O.o by the time i braked it was tooooo laaaateeeee!!! :( so the dude got outta the car..n asked me to turn in somewhere n we'll check it over..... SO! we turned..n then stopped on the side..the guy exchanged information with me..even though he looked at it n thought there's nothing much on there..n i'm like..phew....n he's like..oh i'll bring the car in for service in a couple days anyway so i'll let u kno if anything...n im like...O.o ok.....*crosses fingers..please don't call me back* and so i went to school and after i get off class...CRAP...*fone rings* Dude: "hello! Cynthia? This is XXXXXX, the guy from the little accident thing this morning. Well u kno...i went home...cleaned the dirt out a bit...n yeah it's a bit scrubbed out near the bottom of the bumper....." Me: "O.o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~ *o...m....G!!!* umm..reallY?!?! oh noo..." Dude: "yea.....it's not tooo visible..but i mean u kno...it's my new car n all.......so we should figure something out." Me: "so..r u gonna bring it to the shop? Maybe try polishing it up a bit?.." Dude: "yea..i'm gonna bring it in tomorrow..see what they say..then i'll get back to ya n see if we need to claim icbc or whatever." Me: "ok..." *stress metre begins..NOW* so yeah...got pretty pissed at myself for doing that..coz it simply happened because i wasn't paying much attention to the road...kinda bugged me a whole lot...coz if it was like slipping on black ice..i can't control right..but this is just STUPID..n if the guy was nice enough..he wouldn't be sucha a bum about it...so then the next day... Dude: "Hey Cynthia? This is XXXXXX. I brought it in to the shop..they tried to brush it off a bit..but the marks r still here..if i fix it up it'll probably cost around $300-400..." Me: "*OH CRAAAAP!!*....umm..aww...is there really no way u can take out the marks?" Dude: "Noo...it's pretty visible when it's under light...well this is what we'll do..either I go fix it up and it'll cost u around $300-400 bucks..or u can just pay me $100 and settle it..." Me: "oh :O *sweeet* mmm..i'll ask my dad first i'll get back to ya..." then me n dad kinda talked it over a bit...didn't know what we should do yet..but the guy called back a few hours later n said we either meet up on Friday..or he'll just go straight to icbc...X.x..FORCING me to pay basically!! >:( kinda made me mad for a bit..but oh well..atleast he's giving me this option... So yeah..ended up paying him and then it's over..got him to sign a little agreement with me..n that's it..but holi mama...i was PRETTY STRESSED OUT from this...seemed like i was going through so much trouble...n my dad had to help me ask around if like the agreement thing will actually work..or like...if we should do this or not..or juz do icbc..coz that guy didn't look too friendly at first..scared that he'll be trickin' me or sth..but..turns out..he's not TOO too bad...just looks scary that's all >< n yea when i paid him he came to sfu to find me coz he lives around there..n i got Marcus to come wit me..or i'd be FREAAAKED....so yea..that was my lesson learned........... preeetty scary i gotta say...:\ but now i will drive safer...so..$100 was kinda worth it i guess :) | 
~~ to have u guys pull out precious time outta ur busy schedules..i kno it's a hard thing....n for soOO many of u to do that JUST for me.....totally
