Real Life People Who Colossally Messed Things Up

A Minor Accident

I rented a U-Haul to move from my apartment to a condo in the same town. I bumped one of the balconies in the alley behind the condos. I made a very small dent in the canopy part of the truck and when we returned the truck, they told us since we didn’t get the insurance, we would have to pay for the fix within 48 hours. They said that it would cost $4,800 to fix and they refused to let me take it to a third-party mechanic for a quote. Then they said that if we didn’t pay within 48 hours, it would go to court where it would be doubled. I wasn’t too well off then, financially, and maybe I was still too naive, but we decided to pay to avoid having it doubled. My wife was in tears at the counter as she gave them her credit card.
