Today was not a good day....
 

Got up early to go to the dentist....got in a car accident. An 80 year old guy drove right into the back of our car...then said that we sideswiped him. Had to re-schedule the dentist appt. Dropped car off at body shop (will be lucky to see it in 2 weeks). Went to get some lunch and walk on the beach...got a parking ticket 5 mins. after the meter expired. (Saw the ticket writer walking away as we got to the car.) :Oh crap

Ugh....time for some wine.

Any consolation is if he rear ended you,he's at fault..sue gramps

Yep!

The guy was out of his mind. Things were going okay, until he said..."you hit me." Of course, it didn't help his cause that his truck had a crushed front liscence plate and big crunches on its sides. Oh yeah, on the back of his insurance card there was a claim# from another accident.

I'm glad I had my camera phone with me.

It the damm eclipse i tell you...

is that what's going on? everyone around here has been insane today.

that explains EVERYTHING.

Also lower back pains and whiplash sometimes take a day or so after the shock wears off..see your lawyer Monday ;)

Ya, you can't leave the meter expired for more than 30 seconds in LA, those fuckers wait when they pass one that is about to expire. See those things on top of their cars? Those tell them when they pass a meter about to expire.

Sorry about the wreck, but if you were in HB you know they survive on parking tickets.

hmmmm, you want some Ragin Cajun . . . . I'll buy.

I've got a pitbull of an PI. Used him about 6 years ago for a nasty wreck I got into. He's such a pain in the ass, the insurance co's just settle with him so that he'll leave them alone.

Redondo for the accident....Manhattan for the ticket.

Ooooohhhhh Ragin Cajun? :winkwink:

today is fucked. there is a lunar eclipse and your fucked no matter what weird day stay home.

I wish the city I got the ticket in actually did that. These guys are a little sneakier than that. Where I live, like baddog said, they make most of their city revenue off of parking tickets. :(

I'm home now and plan on staying here for the night.

It's FREAK NIGHT out there! (a little stranger than usual for LA :winkwink: )

FUCK YEAH IT IS !!!!!!!!

...

OUCH...saw your edit note. Good luck with that! Hope you're not going to Weho or Hollywood....yeesh....too much wierdness there!

MB as bad as HB with tix . . . and yes. I am hungry, did not know what to eat, but that sounds good. You have my number still? I am serious.

I don't think they deliver . . shall I pick you up? will there be 1 or 2 (need to know to bring car or bike).

i hade a bad day also >.<

I feel for ya....

Sorry about your sucky day. :( I stayed in my new house most of the day today, furniture people delivered our new fridge, stove, and washing machine...drain pipe for washing machine was plugged, sending water everywhere (including into the apartment we rent out...fortunately no damage...later, the other drain got plugged, doing the exact same thing!), and the fridge was scratched up in a few places due to bad handling prior to delivery. Daughter was sick all day but slept thru most of it (had a few messes though, was nasty and smelly)...and then turned into holy hell when we got back to our other home, running all over the place and breaking shit (like usual, she's a barrel of fun sometimes :D ). About the only thing that went right today is the excellent pizza place we found in town that we didn't know about before. :D

i have to be in echo park before midnight. still thinking about not going.

Good Luck to all.

baddog and I will have a drink for everyone in your honor.

heh....wish us well.

just don't pick up the soap

That is what those guys are for! I think weekly massages and chiropractic appointments paid for out of the old fuckers insurance for the next year or so sounds nice.

I REAAAAALY hate old people that are still driving when they shouldn't be!

I'm with you on that. This guy had more dings, scraps and bent up liscense plates than should be allowed on vehicle. Should I have been surprise that he was driving an older HUGE pickup truck?

in manitoba where i live we have no fault auto insurance.

you're covered regardless of blaim. injuries get compensated as well - no court. for about $50 more a year on your insurance you get a curtosy car when yours is in the shop due to any accident as long as you need it.

the system works too - on a $70K car I pay only $1200 in insurance and licence fees a year

no need for lawyers, PI's, courts etc

If it's any help, tomorrow won't be nearly as bad :D

nooooice!

my coverage is great, but it comes at a price.

Thanks! It's gotten better already.

A good friend took me to dinner. Things looking up. :thumbsup

didnt have to go to la afterall. happy fucking day night

hat's really allot of trouble for one day...:(

I woke up drunk in a alleyway in TJ this morning. Could be worse. :1orglaugh

Hope tomorrow is much better for you!

damn,that sux big time:(

Damn thats just fucked up!

Glad to help :)

80 years men shouldn't drive.

Sorry to hear about the crash :) glad you were ok hun...

Thanks for all the well wishes. Day ended much better than it started.

Fartfly...congrats on not having to go to LA - wise move

Today started out with me dumping my breakfast on the floor. But at this point....i'm still laughing about it

Old guys shouldn`t be allowed to drive cars anymore.They are a real dangers.Keep your head up!Tomorrow will be a better day !
