As I was 20 (that means about 30 years ago) in Germany it was not such a big deal to scratch a car, even it was not the same easy going as in France at this time, where you would treat such a situation more lightly. So, I scatch the car from a neighbor and in fact it was a bit more, it was a big bump. But the neighbor came and said it would be okay, he would fix it himself and that it was. A few years later even if you touched a strangers car very softly, he would usualy look with a loupe for a tiny scratch to sue your insurance. But this mean you have to pay more for that insurance AND it mean, that now many people changed to fusspots. I don’t like this. So I don’t want to be like them, to change to a fusspot in my dayly life, allways seeking for a chance to make money from small mistakes from people around me.
And there is even one more reason: I don’t like to juse police or court for my matters, I prefer to handle things by myself…
