Unfortunately, it's very common. It's hard for people to admit culpability, especially when money is involved. Someone once stepped in front of a friend's car and fell to the ground. (Fortunately, the car was barely moving and the pedestrian wasn't seriously hurt.) But she told the cops that she turned around, looked in the direction of traffic, and then got hit, apparently out of nowhere.

Out of nowhere, by a car that was creeping down a crowded street on a day with good visibility. Not to mention that she said she was looking in the direction of traffic but somehow got hit in the butt!

I think the laws of physics will tend to uphold your version of the story.

*hugs*

Here's to the laws of physics, then!

And thanks for assuring me that this isn't necessarily a personal attack, but more of an unfortunate confluence of cowardice (refusing to admit to a mistake) and greed (wanting to get someone else to pay the freight).

Thanks for the hugs! I needed that!
