I backed into a car as I was on the phone with a friend.
I walked to the coffee shop (twice - coz once I had to come back to speak with the owner whose car I backed into) ordered a fish soup and then realized I hadn't brought my wallet down.
So ... today after work, I will walk down and pay that shop lady my dues. I'll probably pay a bit more, to make up for having made her wait for 5 hours before being paid. and I'll probably get a call sometime later today or tomorrow about the damages I have to pay for that car.
Both incidents / accidents were due to my lack of attention.
Maybe there's a message in all this - pay attention or pay some more.
By god's grace, these were not so bad in the scheme of things.
PAY ATTENTION.
It pays.

I need to update this entry.
ReplyDeleteWhen I walked back to pay the lady, she wasn't there, so I had to go there again the next day. She obviously did not expect me back, she gave me twice as much fish as usual!
The car .... SIGH! I had to fork up $1000 to pay for the damages!
Yet another comment - the insurers have reduced my no claim discount - just because I reported the case to the insurers, even though we did not make a claim! now I need to get the other party to sign a form to declare that they would not make a claim, only then will they increase my no claim discount again. This system is inherently flawed. we are penalized for following the law.
