Man waits 5 years to get car repaired, demands $2,600 plus additional $1,200 from coworker who hit his car: 'I finally got HR involved'

When you and a coworker get in a car accident, things might not go smoothly without HR intervening. 

This person is flummoxed by their coworker dragging his feet, and we're not talking about responding to emails slowly! This person shared their mildly infuriating story spanning 5 full years. As they write, 5 years ago, they got into a fender bender with this guy they work with. During a snowy day, they slid on a slippery patch of the parking lot and dinged the passenger side bumper cover. Not the worst accident in the world — probably just more of an eyesore than an actual hazard to drive. 

Maybe that's why this guy waited 5 full years to get the damages fixed! He and the coworker agreed to a $2,600 payment in lieu of going through insurance. The coworker scribbled this guy a note, the money was sent, and that was that… for 5 years, anyway. Since things didn't go through insurance, I bet that the coworker got this huge cash influx and didn't put it into the car at all. He probably thought that the cosmetic issue could be fixed later on, while he had a fun time with the money in the moment.

Now, he's finally decided he wants to get it fixed, because he's selling the car. But he must've felt ridiculous begging for extra money from his coworker after all that time! That $2,600 is long gone, and this guy is facing the consequences of his actions! Whatever he did with that original money, he must surely be regretting not getting it fixed, because now he's irritated his coworker and HR had to get involved. Read the full story down below, and see for yourself just how ridiculous this dude's request is.
