The day started with a weirdo knocking on my door, I said Yes, without opening the door. He said, I want a Coca Cola, I said I don't have any. He said I want a cup of coffee then. This is a stranger wanting to come in! He eventually went away and I saw him go into the neighbours driveway.

Then the day ended with me going to Maccas drive thru. In the parking lot I was driving through and suddenly BANG! Someone backed into my car. It did jar me, hope I didn't get whiplash. I got out and the guy said he didn't see me. I have a dark green car. The back door of my car has a large ding, but it still opens. Anyway, he ended up offering me $300 so I agreed, I was thinking about getting another car soon. But I will try not to get a dark colour, its hard to see!

    Today in things that never happened?

    • SF3 on 13/08/2021 - 23:43

      Like someone said, you can’t make up this stuff…

      Unless you think what the sec guard said is accurate. 🤔

      • Muzeeb on 14/08/2021 - 00:28

        That was Brendan

        • SF3 on 14/08/2021 - 00:50

          He and the security guard don’t mince their words.

    Was the security guard driving the other car?

    • screensaver on 13/08/2021 - 23:53

      I went to a different supermarket tonight. No it was a nice guy, good looking too. He wanted to keep it off the books. He said He felt the impact too (the jarring)

        If he was ugly would you have accepted the $300?

          $300 = single bang

          • Yummy on 14/08/2021 - 12:05

            @DashCam AKA Rolts: In her fake taxi Corolla.

          • Melb69 on 14/08/2021 - 12:41

            @DashCam AKA Rolts: Career in doing this. Reminds me of those scammer who would walk in behind cars as they were moving back and them falling to claim compo from driver.

    Beware dark cars at night?

    Srsly?

    Every car is pretty well covered by lights at night…

  • raptormesh on 14/08/2021 - 00:02

    lol, 300 bucks. You got conned.

    • screensaver on 14/08/2021 - 00:06

      the car has a couple of scratches and cracked tail lights. Someone keyed the bonnet soon after I bought it, and then I scratched the side on my metal gate. So it had a reduced value.

      • Ughhh on 14/08/2021 - 08:56

        What car is it? How old?

            @pegaxs: Given the condition and age, the 💵 Pam got, it might be worth more than the car!

    I am glad I wasn't drinking coffee or tea, as I would have spat it all out onto my keyboard while reading the above statement.

    You agreed to a completely low ball offer rather than go through insurance? OMG!
    At the same time, you should have just handed in your OzB membership, and given it to the party at fault because they scored a major bargain from you.

    Also, was the other party partially blind?

    • Willco88 on 14/08/2021 - 00:37

      Exactly could have got your whole car resprayed at the expense of the other partys' insurance major OzB fail dude

      Ease up doc, she may have suffered whiplash from the high speed collision!

        high speed collision

        "Parking lot at maccas" … LOL!

        My theory is we are all being trolled.
        No one is this stupid.

        • iDroid on 14/08/2021 - 00:49

          Ahem…

          It's Pam.

          Not stupid just unlucky, hypocritical, and one that doesn't take responsibility for own actions in other incidences.

    Add another page to the future book of pam memoirs.

    Going to be a best seller.

    Just not sure if it's going in the fiction or non fiction category.

    What a load of trash… All I can say is… Cool story, Pam.

    Hope you both wore a mask and were separated by the correct amount of social distancing while you were exchanging pleasantries in the Maccas car park. You needed to watch out for eshays. Hope you were carrying a gel-blaster…

  • Cheeper on 14/08/2021 - 10:23

    Surprised you took the $300 straight off… Ozb'r would have naturally said I have seen it cost $600 elsewhere.
    Sadly though, it really was a bad friday the 13th for you.

  • highon2str on 14/08/2021 - 10:49

    Hate to be the odd one out asking, but what are these 'Pam' references?

    OP, I'm not a fan of dark coloured cars either, both for safety reasons and the fact that dirt/dust on it shows a lot more easily.

    • Melb69 on 14/08/2021 - 10:53

      Even white cars attract accidents. Do some research on old threads. Makes for great reading if you have time. Pam's a keeper

    • SF3 on 14/08/2021 - 11:09

      Pam was part of her username, before she changed it recently.

      • DashCam AKA Rolts on 14/08/2021 - 12:23

        That makes sense. Cheers.

    LPT: It costs on average between $600-800 for someone to claim on their policy. so if you get hit , no matter the damage. always ask for $600 bare minimum if its a small bang and if they refuse tell them to go through insurance and not only do they have to pay the $600 for their claim they have to pay increased premiums on top and lose all their maximum no claims discount rating.

    Edit: for real though , don't get into any accident if you can help it.

  • Pluto88 on 14/08/2021 - 16:52

    what car were you thinking of getting? i30n?

    • screensaver on 14/08/2021 - 17:38

        I used to own a Mazda 6 wagon, it was one of the most reliable and comfortable cars I have owned. Highly recommend
