One day last month I popped into the Rite Aid to by my first set of reading glasses (I'm at that age). I usually am "that guy" who parks far away, to the dismay of my kids, to avoid some door dings and SUVs. But this one time, I parked in a close row of spaces. Came out with my glasses ($10) and the front fender of my 9-3 was smashed, no note, nobody in sight. Goodbye $500 deductible ($1300 repair).
The very same day, my Stella scooter (clone of an old Vespa) was returned to me from the dealer, it had been in for some electrical work. The dealer had crashed it during the repair and hadn't told me. Both cowls (metal covers around the rear wheel) were smashed in, and would not stay mounted to the bike, deeming it unridable. Dealer promised to send new ones, but they are HARD to find. So dealer said they would send a certified check for the amount ($500). Check never sent. Dealer went out of business a couple weeks ago. Owner is MIA.
I've just adopted a disabled son, whose spirit, in spite of his physical limitations, gives me such hope for humanity in general, and inspires me every day. Would it not be for him I'd be very disillusioned.
