Back Shunt!

It had to happen one day. Today I got shunted right up the chuff.

No, not quite the dropping the soap in prison shunted. Instead, my little car took it.

Fear not. Nobody was hurt, well at least not physically. In my years of driving, I have only ever had one bump and that was me stupidly reversing into someone else. But that was when I was a novice. Since then, touch wood I have been fine.

It's a Sunday, there was hardly any traffic and the sun had even popped out as I drove home from a bit of shopping. I was almost home when I pulled up at some traffic lights. And then... There was a tiny little

The car rocked forward ever so slightly. Puzzled I looked around to see what had caused it. Then I noticed in the rear view mirror there was a car behind me practically baw-deep* up my back.

*Baw-Deep (Balls Deep), Glasgow slang, referring to the sexy party situation where you find your 'sword' hilted to the very pommel

I opened the door and somewhat bemusedly walked to the back of the car. I still wasn't sure the car behind had hit me.

The other car jerked back a few feet in an amateurish reverse. I leant down and looked at my bumper, there was a mark. A little dent maybe? Oh bugger. I couldn't be arsed with this nonsense. I straightened up hoping the other driver was going to be a reasonable soul.

After all the last thing I was in the mood for was to give someone a sound thrashing with my cane.

The other car opened. It was some big roaring monster of a 4x4.

A lady in her twenties stepped down from the monster truck and walked toward me with an oh noes kind of expression on her face.

Is there any damage? She cried, in some seeming distress.

Just a little dent, not much. It will probably be alright Said I, in that knowledgeable man way.

Oh I am so glad, I am reeeeeaaally sorry for that.

Ach, no bother. These things happen eh, will we just swap details? I will get it checked out but it should be ok.

14961g67909-picsay_20170604203547032_20170605205032948_20170607171339036_20170607172807176_20170609201920725_20170611192222161-picsay.jpg

She pouted slightly, it was then I noticed that she was quite pretty in a I'm rich as fuck and my hobbies mostly involve horses and men called Sebastien kind of way.

It's only a little mark, we don't need to swap details, do we? Her eyes spasmodically jerked open and closed.

I think it's slightly dented, I will get it checked out but it's probably nothing.

She laughed, a girlish tinkling affair and reached over to pat my superbly muscled arm looking at me for all the world as if we were in the desert and I was an ice lolly.

She bent down to examine the dent before raising her head and tossing a mountain of hair aback over her shoulder.

I really don't see much at all. It should be fine yeah?

Her bottom lip must have been right itchy as she was giving it a good chew.

I felt something click inside of me. Hang on, was she flirting with me? Really? Good lord, she was. It was quite nice but wasn't quite as nice as not having your car smacked in the arse.

As I say, it should be fine, Will probably be nothing. What's your name...

Oh gawd. Really? Is it money? Will that do?

14961g67909-picsay_20170604203547032_20170605205032948_20170607171339036_20170607172807176_20170609201920725_20170611192222161.jpg

She trotted off back to her car and re-emerged, rummaging in a giant bag. From an oversized purse she started counting out some twenty pound notes.

Look, here, will 60 cover it?

What the fuck? Was I a prostitute now? Is that what everything boils down to? Just throw money at the serfs?

Did she expect me to doff my cap in deference and say thank you ma'am, sorry to be a bother ma'am?

The horse-loving, Sebastien rider looked at me with mild contempt as these thoughts whirred and clanked in my head.

What about the principle of the thing? Did she think that fluttering her eyelashes and throwing twenty-pound notes at me like I was some yoghurt stained lap dancer was the answer to banging my ancient old car up the chuff?

Erm, yeah, 60 should do. Cheers

Sort:  

So yo took the 60 bucks? I would have probably done the same, so annoying trying to come to a conclusion with people like her with the itchy lips :D
Glad to hear nothing worse happened.

Oh yeah, three twenty notes hurriedly slipped into my pocket. Cheers man!!

lol .. money can't buy a boom!
or I thought till I read above haha
feck the dent eh? hahah
well- how much would you get if you two swapped details and let the insurance handle it?

how did you do this line?

You got me, I am so easily bought!! I would get my dent fixed and pay nothing and she would get charged by her insurance. The thing is I think I would have to pay an excess and it will all get complicated! There is literally no dent. A tiny tiny mark!!

You mean the formatting? Like this, a combo of the html sub command and markdown. You like? :0)

thank you!
copy!
edit : test

yey! thank you chico!

That's kind of a funny story! You should be a book writer! I literally saw the scenery with all her details! I love it and, although no wishing you to be shunted again, look forward to more of your cool stories!

Thank you very much, I do like writing. If it was a career I would be a very happy man!!

Totally appreciate the comment :0)

I'm pretty sure your on your way.

She pouted slightly, it was then I noticed that she was quite pretty in a I'm rich as fuck and my hobbies mostly involve horses and men called Sebastien kind of way.

Haha, that was funny! :P

Sorry about the shunt though, just recently, I bumped my car too and the person who bumped it just drove away as we were at an intersection and it wasn't that bad. There was a scratch and I just covered it up with a cool sticker, so all good I suppose!

I don't even think I could find the mark to cover over with a sticker! Bumps are asking but at least yours and mine wasn't that serious!

Well, 60 was probably enough then ;)

Yeah, I drove quite fast after that in case she changed her mind!!

ha! take the money dude :)) and don't fix that bump...i mean you could play the long on with that one forever....:D

There is virtually nothing to fix. So money in back bin, happiness all round!!

im surprised you guys say "knock wood" too actually...

Oh yeah that is a very popular saying here!

oh yoohoo!!!! Sebastien??!!!!!

Big LOLZ!

Hehe, the name has such a ring to it!! :0D

Good ole British people they sound funny even when they are having basic conversations. Anything you say sir is pure comedic gold.

Cheers mate!! Hehe, yeah there is a certain funniness to an everyday convo here!! I like to add a little twist and let it run!!

Substituting the word yoghurt for semen, lol you couldn't have painted a better picture. Blog on.

Hehe, semen, yogurt.... I don't know what you mean ;0) LOLZ

With your every post, I continue to expand my vocabulary of Glasgow slang :D

Word of the day: Baw-Deep.

Metaphors are delicious as always. Thanks for the good mood, @meesterboom! :)

You are always welcome @natord!

I shall continue to unearth these gems for the good folk of steemit :0)

I would say she nicked ya for $150 minimum! HAAHAHAHA!

No doubt tomorrow I will go out and the car will have fallen into a hundred bits as a delayed reaction and I will be crying lol!!
