🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 Sometimes life just sucks

[sean]

This is nothing TOO bad. And it's definitely a 1st-world problem. But sometimes life does suck the big one.

I have to have my windshield replaced; not a chance of repairing it, it needs to be replaced. The cost to replace it is a little under $325 + labor and taxes. I could claim it on my insurance, but my deductible is $500. Sure $325 is less than $500, but with the labor and taxes it'll come close to $500. Either way, I'm out $500 that I wasn't planning on spending right now.

That sucks!!!!
In Florida there is no deductible on windshield replacement, but it does count as an occurrence.

Think most states have a lower deductible for glass.

My wife's Bronco had a nice crack within the first 60 days we had it. With all of the sensors on it, it came to $1,300, so the $500 was an easy call.

I had a guy in Atlanta that would replace a basic windshield for $175. I would replace my old Camry's every other year - you put 35,000 miles a year on a car it's gonna get cracks - and any of the kids who'd found something to cost me money. That doggone car was running like a top when I traded it in on my Tundra, with just over 405,000 miles...

We used Safelite to replace my wife's windshield back in early March. They did a good job with it and it. It was $297 after using a coupon code, and that was with them adding new wipers and applying Rain X which were both extra charges.

I have a few problems I'd gladly swap with you Sean if you really think replacing a windshield makes life suck.

Oh I have other problems, too. That's just the one I'm willing to talk about. But yeah when you have to spend about $500 and you don't have $500 to spend, it does suck.

In a completely unrelated subject, I had to take a Business Psychology class enroute to my Associate Degree in Electronics. One assignment we had was to type our two biggest problems on a piece of paper without signing or any kind of ID attached. We turned them in and the next class, the instructor had them taped on the black board.

He asked each of us to line up and read the 15 different papers and then sit down. Afterward, he asked if any one would swap their two problems for anyone else's problems. No one wanted to swap problems with anyone else.
