Not Again!!

A day before I was supposed to fly off to KK. I was running an errand for my office- getting a Statutory Declaration Stamp for one the sh*tty project that was thrown at me. After I had gotten the 3rd party form for my boss to sign, I went down to the basement where I parked my car. As I was in the car & on my way to the exit, I saw a red Kenari that was slowly coming up from the lower Basement ramp, it was so effin obvious that she was supposed to give way. The way she slowly came up also suggesting that she was going to stop to let me pass. When I was an arm length away from the collision, I realized that she wasn’t stopping. The stupidest thing I did was, struck out my arm and yelled “Ooops…” instead of slamming on the car honk. I thought that she had bang into my passenger side door. When I came out of the car to inspect the damage, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. I asked her “ Didn’t you see my car?!” “ You didn’t look for cars before you’re coming out?!”
She said she did but she was looking at the other direction!! WTF!
She even has the nerve to say for us to settle this ourselves. Which I thought she meant that I will settle my damaged & she’ll settle hers. I was so furious that I said, it wasn’t even my fault, why should I pay for your mistake! She wanted to argue some more, but I said I had the right of way since my way is the straightway.
I told her i know a workshop nearby but they don’t do any aesthetic fixing.
She told me she also know a workshop at KL. Again, I was controlling my temper, why would I follow you back to KL!!
I keep saying how? She has no idea. Then I said I’ll go and ask quotations and let her know the price. Got her card and gave her mine. Her parting words are “Ok, just give me the bill and I will settle it, I don’t want to claim insurance”.
I am really hoping that she is an honest lady.
Then as I was leaving, my car engine/ battery sort of died on me. “Are you kidding me?..Give me a break!!”..
I tried again a couple of times and it start. Phew..
Then I inserted the coins into the exit turnstile gate machine, and guess what? I have to pay it at the ticketing machine.
I was already in a bad mood that morning, since my boss screwed up my plan for the day.
I ended up not being able to do what I had planned.

Hm.. Unfortunately i am not going to do anything to fix it.. Reasons: time, money and because i am scared that the lady will bail out on paying the bill..
