Re: temporal deixis and other matters

"This Saturday" and "two weeks from yesterday" are not the same day. And even supposing that a paint scuff will cost $1100 to fix -- a point I am by no means willing to accept without discussion -- it shouldn't take four days and require a rental car. Count on my insurance sticking up for me, you spoiled goddamn brat.

Other side of the coin

I'm sure I'll sound villanous, but whatever. When someone rear-ended my car and scratched/gouged the bumper, it cost about $1200 to fix and took two weeks to fix. And you're damned skippy I got a rental car. It wasn't my fault the person behind me was too ass-headed to pay attention, why should I have to be car-free?

If it really does take that long, then no, of course a person shouldn't be car-free. I'm disputing the likelihood that it will take that long. This was damage that was not visible to me when I looked to see (because I knew I'd made contact -- am not in fact ass-headed). She may be on the up and up, but so far it feels kind of hinky to me.
