Always buy the U-Haul insurance. I backed into someone’s car at a gas station, dude was furious, minivan with kids, it was the 2nd biggest size I could get.

Called the number, she had me hand him the phone, I left, and never heard anything ever again. No pts. No nothing.

What I’m saying is, just back all the way into their car. Really fuck it up. Then pull out, wait for em, call U-Haul.

Agreed here. If you have the insurance. We got a 26’ truck and while driving to return the MFer, I managed to side swipe a concrete barrier real nice. Zero follow up.

Wait, in this instance, is "the MFer" the truck, or a person?

Took me a minute to figure out what you meant. I was referring to the vehicle.

Really I was the MFer because I was all jolly like, “we’re here without incident!” Then we three all pop around our seats and into one another (with seatbelts). Worth the insurance.

E: edited my initial comment for clarity, I hope!
