Offered to pay straight away i was mortified. Costing me €120 i really left a nasty mark.

Is it kinda stingy he took the money ?

Well mainly because sh1t happens and I appreciate that.

With the exception of catastrophic damage in my opinion and on the back of an apology, I'd let it slide.

I certainly wouldn't. If someone damages my car, they pay for it because I sure as hell won't be the one forking out for their doing!

Different folks, different strokes

We'll see about that

Next meet, I'm gonna put protectors along the edge of my door and have metal spikes sticking off them, then park beside your car and see how much of a different stroke you'll have when I perforate your door panel :pac:

Two issues there.

1. I live in El Passo (Dundalk)
2. I work in Insurance.

The latter meaning I know some of the biggest sharks going !

I'm game if you are!

Now I understand why you don't give a sh!te! You earn too much money to give a sh!te haha

By "next meet" I meant the next motors meet that we're both at!

I can see where you're coming from, accidents do happen and where someone takes responsibility and is obviously mortified I'd certainly hate to see someone trying to screw them to the wall over it.

On the other hand, if damage is done and is going to have to be repaired there's going to be a cost involved, and one can hardly expect the owner, especially if they're not rolling in the dough, to cough up for an extra cost incurred through no fault of their own.

It's a balance between being stingy / nasty on the one hand, and being out of pocket on the other.

If I was the offender, I'd want to cover the cost; if I was the owner in those circumstances, I'd seek to get the repair done properly but also as cheaply as possible, and play fair with the person responsible given that they had played fair with me.
