3 years ago I was out for the day with friend, when leaving the attraction my ds threw open my car door and banged df's door causing a dent and chipped the paint on the door.
The car was only a few years old and I took responsibility right away saying I would of course pay for it.
Df got a quote of £300 which I agreed with and she said she'd tell me when the car went into the garage.
I have asked numerous times over the three years to settle up but she's kept on putting off taking the car to be fixed and I've still not paid (and the car still dented three years later)
We only meet up a few times a year, we met up over Easter and she was driving a courtesy car. Turns out her husband had scraped the whole side of the car along a wall and it was in getting the two doors and front and rear panels fixed through the insurance. Turns out it's the same side as my dc dented.
I was the one who asked about the courtesy car to start with and after telling me what had happened she said "anyway I'm glad you've brought it up as we'll need the £300 now it's in being fixed" I replied "oh will this not complicate payment now that insurance is involved" and we got into a bit of a tit for tat conversation before I said I'll transfer it.
Now I KNOW it's my (ds's) fault and I would have paid years ago had the car been repaired earlier but I feel a bit 🤔 now that the cars being fixed through insurance but she's still taking the full £300 from me even though the door will be fixed due to her dh's accident.
I suppose in my mind if roles were reversed I'd be joking about friend having a lucky escape not having to pay.
Am I a total cheeky fucker or does anyone else find this a bit off?
