I had the same exact thing happen to my windshield two weeks ago! I went through insurance to get it replaced though. I went to this website… http://www.suntecautoglass.com

There’s lots of information about windshield replacements and repairs.

i’m with you, man. i won’t go into details but i certainly feel your pain – in dealing with idiots and assholes all the time, auto insurance claims people most heartily included. sometimes i wonder if paying for insurance is really worth it … because they really don’t seem to be insuring much aside from their bottom lines.

i generally still hold the door for others even though i’m of the female persuasion, because i think it’s rude when someone goes through the door in front of me and leaves it to swing back in my face. in that respect i try to do unto others. i also don’t recline my seat on airline flights for the same reason. (i mean, have you ever tried to work on your laptop when the passenger in front of you has their seat reclined?) but it does seem like there are a large number of people out there who have a total disregard for others, and they sure make it hard to walk around with a smile on your face. (something i rarely do.)

the one positive thing i have to add is that i do say thank you when someone holds the door for me. they don’t have to do it, and to me it is a sign of respect – something for which i am always grateful.

I won’t have may people wanting to look for things in my car. It is an old junker. [grin] It is a pain when “It” hits the fan.

I had my car broken into three times by thieves, and they always broke the windows and did significant damage to the car without actually stealing anything…because there’s nothing to steal. It’s incredibly frustrating, because the windows are so damned expensive. The last time, we ended up buying a huge sheet of acrylic and forming it to the shape of the window, because it’s more difficult to break. Unfortunately, that wouldn’t really be possible with a windshield. Hopefully you’ll get some results from the insurance company, but they’re so difficult to deal with.

Anyhow…I can appreciate where your misanthropy comes from. After having been in the real estate business for this long, I’ve dealt with so many self-interested and rude people that I can’t even count them anymore. After a while, it really starts to take its toll on your ability to trust anyone. I try not to let it get to me, but deep down, it always does, and as a response to that, I’ve become rather withdrawn as a person. I tend to see that as a negative failing of my own, because I view myself as being an overly-sensitive personality, but I also recognize that it’s a protective reflex.

You and Jaime are both amazing human beings, and I hope that you don’t let the nastiness of other people create too much bitterness for you. You don’t deserve that at all.
