Honesty.

Took Carol to the Olive Garden for lunch yesterday. We like their Chicken Parma.
Anyway we were seated and the waiter had taken our order when the manager came to our
table and asked if I owned the Explorer with Veteran license plates number ####. I replied I
did and he then told me someone had hit my drivers side mirror and broke it. I asked if he
knew who and he replied that yes, he did and that person asked him to find us. I thanked him.

I realize now that he was on a fishing expedition to see how I would react, for that person,
because within minutes a very nice lady in her sixties asked to sit down at our table.
She explained that in parking she had hit my mirror with hers and broke it.
She gave us all her insurance info and we had a really nice conversation with her. It turned
out she was from a small town in the southern part of the state and was there to have lunch
with old college friends. It also turned out that her best friend back home was a lady I grew
up with and she knew her whole family. Small world.

She had introduced herself as a country bumkin but little did she know that I was one too.

Every now and then, something negative turns into something that shines bright in your day.

Reaffirms my faith in humanity which we all need once in a while.

Nice story Coop. There are still good people out there amongst the rest of the crowd.

Good story. It is a nice change from finding the damage in the parking lot. She sounds like a nice lady and you handled it well too.

A few years ago I came out of a restaurant to find a large dent on my car. Was pretty upset but it was actually the owner of the restaurant who had backed into my car and he watching for me to come out to give me insurance info. Recently someone backed into my rear bumper, being plastic it didn't leave a dent but did chip the paint pretty badly, no note left. So there's both kinds out there.

I had thought the paint chip would be covered by comprehensive with a $150 deductible but my ins. agent said no, it was going to be a $300 deductible. Would have been better if I had backed into a post, that would have been covered under comprehensive at $150.
