To not pay for friend to get her phone fixed after I smashed it?

[katie3347]

Friday night me and my friend went out for drinks.
We were stood at the bar and I turned around quick and knocked my friends phone out of her hand,it hit the floor and smashed the screen.
It's still working but the screen is totally cracked.

She was a bit upset saying she didn't have insurance and couldn't afford to get it fixed.
I can't afford it either and shouldn't she have had insurance on such a expensive phone?
Anyway I haven't mentioned it since ..aibu to just not mention it again?
I know she probably expected me to pay to get it fixed but it was a accident and she was the one who let go once I hit her arm.

😂😂😂😂. Was reply to OP but forgot to use @ and using cracked screen doesn’t help either, user ID not for nothing

The "nail in the eye" analogy is rubbish!

In countries without a national health service (ie most of them) insurance would pay for any injury to be treated BUT WOULD THEN CLAIM IT BACK OFF THE PARTY WHO CAUSED THE INJURY. If the injured person didn't want to claim off their insurance, then they could sue the other direct.

Pay up OP, you tight get - you owe at least half of the cost.

You should pay half

Here in UK people are inclined not to take responsibility, no PL ins, no health ins, no ID (think police state and against their rights) just wait till Brexit, no EU courts to protect us, needing Visa and ID on request. Ppl think they want their sovereignty back - blinkered

The spaces between the words make more sense than the actual words themselves in your post.

personally think it’s pretty cool to have cracked screen (so long as it’s still usable)
Oh yes, it’s way cool
