According to his Garda friend who he rang, I pay for my mirror and he pays for his.
Thats the way it ended, him cursing his luck in having to shell out a couple of hundred for a mirror and me only a fraction of that.

As it should be.

Nobody forced him to buy a car that is expensive to maintain. The 50:50 blame has no bearing on this.

Well done Lando.

I'd also suspect that two Skoda Fabia's could have passed without hitting each other.

Some examples of what is meant by 50/50 settlement. If you agreed to settle your own damages, then it wasn't a 50/50 settlement

I have decided to draw a line under this argument.

As I am entitled to do.

Myself.

I have spoken.

but we'll never know how both cars lost their passenger mirrors??? Was one reversing? Was one parked in the other direction??? Was it a typo?

It doesn't make a difference! The driver's side is still near the middle of the road, and the passenger's side near the edge.

You're forgetting the time difference

Right, I've read all 43 pages and mauzo's s**t story has to win the Gold.

However, I don't believe this was answered yet - mauzo, have you told this disgusting guy that he cost you €1,000 in cleaning costs? If not, why not? Has anybody confronted him about it? I just cannot fathom not saying anything to him.

My brother (lets call him X) moved back to Ireland shortly after I was made redundant and borrowed €500 for a rent deposit from me. I gave him the cash because I'd gotten my redundancy pay out and wrote the money off because I know he never pays anything back. He was back a week later to ask for €2000 to buy a car.

He also likes to stay with me when he's in Dublin in an "I'm staying in your house tonight" kind of way, then he wanted to rent my spare room - first I heard of this was from another sibling who told me 'X says he's going to rent your spare room'. I had to put a stop to that pretty sharpish.

Straight talking is what's needed there.

I would have no problem (in principle) giving a sibling money that we agree I'll never see again, but I'd be upset if it was a "loan" that just went unpaid.

It was a straightforward 'no' that he got from me. His last stunt was asking to stay in my house one night then, after I'd had a couple of beers, asking if he could stay there for a month. I gave him the number of someone who had a room to rent. He seems to have taken the hint so far.

I won't give him any more money, and I wouldn't even if I had it. He's borrowed a ton of money off of other family members and has only paid back as little as he can get away with when they have actively gone looking for it from him.

Well, not as bad.... but my brother, his OH and my nephew were in the US. They were due to return earlier than anticipated because of work.
There house wouldn't be ready in time (they were renting it out when they were away and wanted to give tenant time to find a new property in the area).

MY other brother has a gaff five mins from the one coming home. with 3 spare rooms. My brother decides though that he wants to stay with mammy, meaning I have to move out for six weeks, over xmas.

I was never asked and there was millions of arguments, had to leave tv, electric blanket and empty my wardrobes into suitcases in order to move into my other brothers spare room.

My mother was just happy to have the family home, as was I... but extremely put out tbh. it was just a few mins away but it wasn't home.

Everytime since it's come up... my brothers roars laughing about it but it gets to me that he just decided he would take over my space and never asked or even mentioned it directly to me.

I moved out shortly afterwards, it was 'my room' but really.... it was the 'spare room' that I was sleeping in and had to move out anytime anyone came to stay.

Never again!

Went to get diesel yesterday at a busy station. Luckily get a free one. But as I fill I notice the two pumps on the other side aren't being used. Why? A stupidly parked car. A women decided as she wasn't getting fuel to park in between the two pumps. Blocking them both. This petrol station had a car park right outside the door :mad: not sheltered like the pumps but it wasn't raining and so what if it had.

She only bought a pack of cigs and took forever(I'd pumped and was one behind her in the queue)... Some people think of no one else. I personally couldn't do that without feeling like a total scumbag. There was about 7 cars waiting. Another bloke was eating his lunch in his car taking up another pump. 6 pumps in total. 3 effectively out of use.

I was working in an African prison and got a severe case of travellers diarrhoea and heat stroke. I ended up having to run into the prison/showers with loads of naked Kenyans and expunging from both ends in front of them. The last thing they expected was a white man to run into the showers strip off and do an exorcist impression

Bust my arse laughing in work with this. Why were you working in an African prison?

The time a wheelchair user was left at the bus stop as the lazy cow already onboard Dublin bus refused to fold up her child's buggy.

Drivers have rules to follow and can't have both in the wheelchair space. If something goes wrong and an accident claim goes in it's his job on the line.

It's not uncommon, it's been discussed on Joe Duffy and in commuting forum but I never believed anyone would do it until I saw it myself

Should have stopped up the bus and refused to leave until the lazy bitch got off and had some manners. That’s what I would have done

Years ago this woman rang my mothers doorbell at about 10.00 PM. Her car had broken down or something and she wanted to use the phone to call someone. She also asked for a blanket to put over her while she waited in the car. My mother let her use the phone, gave her tea and biscuits and gave her a brand new blanket that she had never used. The woman said "is that a clean blanket?".

There was a friend whose parents were very well off and both working. They gave each of their 3 young teenage kids £20 a week to do them for any clothes, food, socialising, incidentals etc. The father ate a big meal out everyday as he and the mother refused to cook. The kids from a young age had to go to the supermarket and lived mostly from the cereal and pot noodle aisles, the odd chip shop outing and tapped meals from any friends parents (they’d call for you around 6 etc).

They were really nice guys and used to constantly borrow no more than 10p from people because you wouldn’t have to pay it back, but if you borrowed 50p or a £1 you did. I used to feel sorry for them and was grateful to have the security of parents fending and providing for me and making me feel safe.

Had a housemate who wouldn't take out the bins. Used to drive me nuts because it was a house share not a child minding service. I pulled up the housemate on the issue and said it wasn't very fair to use the bins and not take them out and hoping that somebody else takes them. She turned around and said "why me"!! Because you're not 8 years old.

I dunno would you consider this self-entitled or just plain d!ckheadish behaviour but was at a hurling qualifier a few years ago in Limerick, Galway had just beaten Cork. Anyway during the match I had noticed a woman in front of me playing on her iPhone, clearly enthralled by the match. The match ended and most people scattered onto the pitch, just about to leave when I noticed the phone on the ground. My dad suggested handing it to the stewards, I said we'd wait on and see did this woman return. Sure enough around 25 mins later she returns, she looks under her seat and I say 'does this belong to you'? She kind of just looks at me and mutters 'oh yeah', grabs the phone and walks off with her friend again. Before ye think it was someone pulling a fast one it was definitely the same woman. Just the lack of a 'thank you' that really galls me, not sure how many 15 year olds would have waited around in that situation :mad:

I might have been raised differently but some people in this country do not appreciate anything!

Had a similar_ish experience some years ago. Was collecting for charity outside Parc Ui Caoimh (Cork and not sure of the other County)in just before a big match and a passing supporter dropped his ticket in the rush as the match was starting soon. I called out to him that he dropped it, got a grunt in return and nothing in the box.

Deal with customers. Then you'll see how astounding this society is for it.

It's funny how often 'self entitled' and 'motorist' go together. Have you ever tried telling a parent that parking on the double yellows or the path (or frequently both) or the disabled parking space to do the school pick up isn't a nice thing to do?

Gloomtastic!

This story might fit the brief.......

I had the misfortune of sharing a dorm with an utter arsehole from the midlands who I still think about today. We were in a hostel in Thailand and he had lost his passport and was ringing the Irish embassy. This was around christmas time so cant imagine they were pleased having to help this tit out.

Anyway they agreed to sort him out and provide him with an emergency passport. They gave him a date and time for the appointment

People were a lot more self-entitled in 2014 I reckon.
