whilst at tesco earlier this evening, some dog W@£%*& twat took my drivers door mirror off whilst HE was parking
. i always reverse in to a bay parking spot and the other driver drove in to the one next to mine.
i had gone in and realized i didnt have a bag, so went straight back to my car to see if i had one (turns out i didnt) and i saw the WHOLE incident unfold.
the driver of the 08 plate corsa drove in to the spot next to mine, but then had to reverse back as there wasnt enough room for him to get out. i could see that there wasnt enough gap between his car and mine and as he reversed his door mirror hit mine, folding them both in the opposite direction. mine was flat against the trid 'A' pillar and his had only been pushed back in the same direction to where it would stop on the mount. his window was open so i shouted 'i saw that and what are you going to do about it?'
he said without thinking 'take my details, im not giving you money'. i pushed my door mirror back and it fell off and was dangling on the wire, his door mirror, not a scratch.
i took his details and went back in, there is CCTV and asked the security guard if it was looking over the incident... it did over look my car but from the wrong side
. by chance i looked at my keys and saw the tag that MSM had sent with what to do if an accident happens, i went back out and took some pictures, the lad in the corsa said theres no point in taking pictures as iv got he gave me his information. and he proceded to say its only going to cost a tenner to fix it. bare in mind my anger is already at 6, the minuet he said its only going to cost a tenner to fix it it nudged up to 7. i kept my calm and said its going to cost roughly £200 to sort it out from mercedes (i dont know how much a full electric door mirror is) and he said what car is it, i said a smart, and he gave that look as if to say your talking out your a*s, mercedes.
anger level at 7.5, and then he said is it electric, i said yes. itll cost you £30 then. anger level 7.75.
THEN he had the nerve to say itll clip back on, anger level 11 out of 10. i was fuming but still kept my calm and said if it clips back on, clip it back on, be my guest! he refused and his passenger started piping up saying just go through your insurance, i then said to the passenger 'your lad has just said my door mirror will clip back on, im only asking him to clip it back on, clearly me working for jaguar and i dont know how to fix a door mirror, you know more than me so sort it.'
rant over, and breath.
before i call mercedes tomorrow, anyone know how much a full electric drivers door mirror would be, new?
