How A Car Washer Destroyed His Car Because Of A Woman by jmoore(op): 12:08pm On Mar 02

This was done by my trusted car washer. I always park the car and give him the car key to do his thing and keep my key for me until when I come back to carry my car. I didn’t even know how I got to start trusting him like that.

on that faithful day I parked my car as usual for him to wash and left. When I came back I couldn’t find my car and I couldn’t find the guy. I asked other car washers around there and I was told the guy went out with my car and had a serious accident. They told me where the accident happened and I rushed there only to find out that this guy had destroyed someone’s Keke and seriously injured the Keke driver. He also drove into where interlocking tiles are being sold and destroyed some of them. I just got there and I was dumbfounded.

I had to settle the Keke Man first who said he can take himself to the hospital. I paid him for treatments and also paid for repair works on his damaged Keke. The man selling the interlocking tiles was an elderly man and after calculating the damages done to his goods which was about 562k, he asked me to bring 150k after all the begging which I paid. I called a toying van to just take my car straight to the mechanic then I followed the car washer to search his house. All we could get was 6k. He uses a Nokia torch and claimed he has no money other than the 6k. I had to bear the loss alone because I needed my car fixed ASAP.
Wetin pain me pass na on investigation, I found out this guy was going to carry woman with my car when the accident happened and they were three.

Pls no matter how you trust your car washer, just open your car for him to wash and take your key so you won’t learn the hard way just like me.
This happened few years ago but i believe people need to learn from it.

Very unfortunate. Sorry for your loss op. That's some serious money you're about to burn. God don use your car wash answer panel beater prayer.

Jokes aside. Let me educate you OP. There is such thing as vicarious liability. This means that when a worker in a business establishment causes you damage, the damage is deemed to have been caused by the establishment not the worker. So going to search the boy's house was totally unnecessary when you could have recovered from the business owners. Do with this information what you will.

Yeah, your advise at the end is the best. I myself am never in too much of a hurry to leave the car for them, max I'll be somewhere around taking drinks.

But why didn't you drag his boss into the issue? He can't be the owner of the car wash and be using only a Nokia torchlight? His boss should have been liable for the damages as well

Too bad. Sorry for the unexpected expenses. I wash my car near a restaurant or bar. I just sit around and take 1 or 2 bootles while waiting. I don't trust my car to them.

That's how some car watchers stole someone's car

Na familiarity. Those carwash boys majority of them are frustrated fellow. Theit kind of lifestyle will scare you snd they either use touch light or they don’t have phone at all. They don’t even rent apartments. They sleep with someone or on the street.

Imagine giving key to such a fellow.

Why did you have to bear the expenses of paying the Keke guy and the man selling tiles? Shouldn't they face the cash washer with their problems?

Mehn, the damage is massive. Did you collect the 6k from the car wash guy?
You should make him feel a bit pain, that way he learns not to be irresponsible in that form.

Maturity or foolishness? And you think he won't do more than this next time? Since the car owner didn't make him sweat for his foolishness.

If car owners atimes, drop their cars, and carry cabs to go and meet women, how much less someone who doesn't even own car. If you use someone car carries woman today, what will you use next time?

Only if man can start cutting their coat according to cloth that available, most especially women matters.

So that 30mins to 1hour is what you can't wait for to get your car washed, now you're paying double the time along with huge amount of money.
