[Closed] Rant... SILLY BINT!

Good one. Best rant for a while.
Even in the wrong forum for extra points.

You are being perfectly reasonable. She may think twice about driving like a dick again!

as above, wrong forum gives it that extra impact.

'Bint' is a sexist derogatory term used to demean wimmin.

I think you lose a couple of points for including a photo in a rant

its two fold but still her fault imo

she was leaving room incase a car door swung open BUT

she was encroching onto the other side of the carridgeway into the path of an oncoming car

thus guilty m'lord ....

and your being reasonable.

"lose all of her £500 excess"

I don't get it.

Do "Bints" have balls, usually?

So I'm driving along at about 25mph

maybe if you had been watching the road instead of looking at your speedo the "accident" could have been avoided.

Good going; capitals, swear filter avoidance, derogatory sexist language, but impact lessened by the apology at the end.

FWIW, blokes do this too - coming out of a narrow culdesac with Mrs Removed driving last week, a guy coming the other way tried to squeeze through a non-existent gap where a van was parked with two wheels on the pavement (his side of the road).

Mrs Removed managed to get two wheels onto the kerb and he [i]just[/i] missed us. He screeched to a halt and began waving his arms around but he must have seen the colour of my face (a fetching balckish / red my wife tells me) as he roared off quick-smart...

I do wonder where we'd be if she'd borked the suspension going up on the kerb though - £££s worth off I imagine.

Nice rant, but you loose points for being far to concise and taking the time to show us the photo but do get an extra point from me for the wrong forum...

7/10

TBH I surprised you managed to get your insurers to agree it wasn't your fault, normally they just seem to capitulate cause they simply can't be bothered to spend money fighting, good man!

I guess the key question is

Did she have any tattoos?

😀

My opinion would be divided on this.

On the one hand, the human/compassionate part of me would be saying "fair enough if he's willing to cover the cost to get it fixed privately, no need to involve the insurers, bit of a wait, but what the heck" etc etc

On the other hand ... "it's her own fault, let her suffer the consequences and maybe she'll become a better/safer driver" etc etc

What to do ? ...

She is reaping her own karma.

Now it's been progressed with the insurers she will have to record the accident on future insurance quotes which will increase her premium anyway.

If she's keen to keep her premium lower and avoid paying the excess get a quote for the work but with an extra £150 for the inconvenience and cash up front. Win win that way. She learns an expensive lesson but slightly less expensive and you make some cash.

No tattoos, no balls, and no no claims bonus... Bonus! Sorry for the wrong forum faux pas, I'm obviously still seething...

I think you lose a couple of points for including a photo in a rant

Hmmm, points lost for a [i]relevant [/i]photo. A well placed photo of a dead kitten could have strengthened the rant further.

Just get the £150 in cash, then get mirror from Wingmirrorman {don't know the web address, just Google it} pay loads less for mirror, fit yourself and keep the balance!

Good one. Best rant for a while.

I think the swear filter avoidance indicates an amount of pre-meditation and awareness so points lost for that. Let the hate flow man.
She absolutely deserves all she gets, you're being entirely reasonable. Is it too late to put in a whiplash claim?

Good rant - random capitalisation, overuse of exclamation marks, innapropriate derogartory terms. 8/10

(yes, she is learning a hard lesson in life about accepting responsibility and sorting things out. Reasonable that it is sorted properly, and she as old enough to drive should also be old enough to take the responsibility to sort it - I wonder what she would have said if it was an injury, a cyclist or major damage to car? We had an issue many years back with an accident on a narrow lane - similar in that mrs_oab stopped, had damage from wall on nearside she was so close, the other car managed to skid full length of our car damaging every panel and only stopped 10' beyond - and over the halfway of the road. But is was 'our fault' according to her and father when we went to insurers. We lived 500m away and had popped back to take pictures of skid marks, glass etc and had exact layout of road...)

She had a ... What's the current PC term for a mentally deficient individual??... who was having some sort of panic attack in the car. AND she was smoking... Both situations were obviously distracting her.

If she'd held he hands up there and then, I'd have helped her fix it, but she's just tried to avoid responsibility. Now she's got nowhere to run, she wants to minimise the cost to her. Shes just a ****.

Unfortunately, no kittens, window lickers or bints were hurt in this incident.

of course folks assume wing mirrors to be cheap

mind my mate reversed his near new merc c220 coupe and cliped a fence post which tore it off ....

heated mirror , indicator and puddle light + colour coded ... nearly 1k to replace the thing

well you are 100% in the right, and itw as a good rant
although bint is indeed a bit of an unecessary term imo

however
i quite like the idea that hes willing to get it fixed privately

if only more people did this then life would be a lot simpler, as long as the works done properly i cant see that id have a problem with it
infact if it was me id get him to by the wing mirror fit it myself and charge hm for labour

after all wont your premiums be affected too?

as for the courtesy car thing im sure that your time isnt that precious that you could survive without a car for a few hours if your really desperate to get somewhere you could always cycle 😉

Do you have any idea how important I am????

If the insurance companies are involved then leave it with them. Other than her loss of excess I can;t see there's much to gain by settling it privately.

And you potentially have a lot to lose if they start playing up again after you agree a private deal.

10/10 from me just for using the word bint.

looks like your poor road reading ability has left you falling back on sexist bullying to avoid admitting that you messed up..

well done

If it was me I'd offer to sort it myself for 350 if it was 200 worth of repair. That covers your hassle, you get something out of it and don't lose out.

****ing Outstanding! If I did have an issue - and I'm nit-picking here - you're grammar is too good. Is it too late to edit out half the full stops? For me, then its a 10. Gold Star anyway though 😀

[i]you're grammar is too good[/i]

🙂

Why hasn't whiplash been brought into this?

Bint is good tho 😀

Docked a few points as your rant is reasonably justified and you are not in the wrong.

I think you captured the mood beautifully.
Well done!

Don't forget to report it to the police, as her insurers will really start being twunts if they realise you haven't.

I hit the curb trying to get out of her way but she smashed my wing mirror.

You'll want to allow fro the cost of checking and maybe re doing your tracking.

Good rant 😀 Personally I let him do it privately.

I had this about a month ago but it all turned out rather amicably...a white van man did exactly the same to me and took off my part of my wing mirror. He didn't stop so I turned the car around and followed him. 3 miles up the road I caught up with him and got him to stop. Initally he gave the excuse that Shib got about wide enough gap but I pointed out it was my right of way and I'd call the police for him not stopping at scene of accident and he fortunately changed his tune. Turned out he owned a gargae 🙄 and he had a brand new wing mirror colour matched up and fitted for me in less than a week.

If its any consolation, I had a similar incident and ended up with 5 points and £185 in fines, plus a visit to the magistrates court. So dont moan to me that you're being inconvenienced etc!

*note to self always report to police and give insurance details, even if its clearly not your fault*

You hit the curb? When you have right of way - drive straight at the bastards (or indeed bints) make them do the bloody avoiding. Bastards.

That's a point, my tyre is starting to scrub on the outside edge from where I hit the curb and I've had a slow puncture ever since...

Aye, but just wait until the tin of tuna hidden in the depths of your engine starts to rot...

Until my GF did her advanced driving last year she thought they were called wind mirrors, finding replacement wind mirrors could prove difficult.

The sad thing is that logically you have right of way, because they are deviating into your side of the road and therefore your space, nobody ACTUALLY has right of way (the highway code in this case is advisory). Of course everything works fine until someone decides its MEMEMEMEME and then you end up with broken wingmirrors.
PS Get your n/s suspension and tracking checked to make sure the curb impact hasn't knocked anything out of whack.
Oh and bonus points for using "window licker".

I want to know what she's doing about you illegally driving on the pavement.

Posting a rant on Mumsnet?

(-:

In seriousness, I wouldn't have entertained any dialogue with the father, if he's being awkward. "What's it got to do with you?" *click*

Never understood why people have to be arsey about stuff like this. It's enough hassle as it is without compounding the issues.

Just spoke to the insurers and told them about the slow puncture and scrubbing to the outside edge of the tyre that hit the curb (genuine by the way) which points to my tracking being knocked out of line.

Hopefully get that fixed too! :o)

Bint, silly little bitch [i]and[/i] window licker, all in one thread ? Well done chaps, you're coming over really well - chapeaux!

I think that's an 8.5 rant. If the photo had been off a mobile, in poor focus because the RAGE that was coursing through your body at the time, it would have cracked the 9.0 barrier imvho.

Thanks for the feedback Konabunny, I'll bear it all in mind next time.. 😉

Possibly a flaming nuclear mushroom cloud would have bumped up the score also.

Bint, silly little bitch and window licker, all in one thread

And despite her being all those things she could still get a discount to enter a mountain bike race!

Hopefully the lass will learn something from this lesson. The world does not revolve around her...

Is it too late to put in a whiplash claim?

Don't get me started on this...

Too late

I meant again!

😐

Sounds like she was a bit stupid, but if you had time to take a photo of the situation as the crash was imminent, then perhaps you could have avoided it if you'd given 100% concentration to your driving?

Surely the accident pre-dates the photo?!

The world does not revolve around her...

If she was absolutely enormous, and floating in space, maybe it would.

I suspect Shib took that pic AFTER the incident TGA 🙂

I take it from your rant,she was not fit 😉

Are you sure?

10/10 for me as the use of the word bint reminded me of a book called 'Stanley and the women', might have to dig it out and read again

are you sure you dont have whiplash?

Some berk dented my car in a car park but was kind enough to swap insurance details with me & resolve the damage.....unfortunately I have recently realised it really wasnt worth the hassle as my insurance premium has gone up by £60 a year as am apparently a "greater risk" due to the claim for [u]his[/u] mistake on [u]his[/u] insurance....think on 🙄

Was he a window licker as well?

she should at least HAVE THE BALLS to ring me herself!!!!!

This iced the cake for me.

Thankyou.

Girls these days just have no spunk at all.

Bigyin what did you get done for?

You are Jim davidson and I claim my £5

if i were you I'd get a shit hot lawyer and sue the tits off her.

Ban all women from driving!
Giving them the vote was the thin end of the wedge.

I was pleasantly surprised recently when trying to sort out insurance here in Oz. Having had my car written off for me by some clumsy oaf* on the motorway a couple of years back, I of course declared it as a not-at-fault accident. The nice lady said it doesn't matter as it wasn't my fault so i don't need to declare it 🙂

*This may be offensive to some men

According to the news this evening, based on more women failing their driving tests on reversing (about 2% IIRC) 'women have less spacial awareness - it's a well known fact' Brilliant. Couldn't tell if the bloke was simply trolling.

At least she knows who her dad is.
