People will do anything to screw over other people these days. Everyone is so bloody frikkin' obsessed over money, and some will step on everybody else to get it.

Some people are so pathetic. My little brother called me up one day in a panic. He was about 17 at the time and I happened to live just a few blocks from where he was. He was right in front of Chinook center on mcleod in bumper to bumper traffic.
He rear ended a ~1988 blazer with his ~2000 sunfire. You could see the extent of the damage was that his car's nose slid under the blazer's hitch and made a 4 inch scratch on my bro's car.
Anyone that has ever been within 10 feet of a sunfire knows that breathing on it can cause major damage, so it was pretty clear that this was about as low impact as is possible.
Anyway, I rushed over there because the loser in the blazer was talking about neck pain and whatnot.
The guy was about my age (I'm 8 years older than my bro) so he was suddenly a little less of a tough guy when I got there. I asked him how in hell he can have neck pain from that accident (he was sitting in his driver seat and I was talking to him from his window) and he takes his hand off his neck and violently shakes his head around to "re-enact" the impact of the accident.
At this point is asked him if a couple hundred dollars would make his neck feel better. He said it would have to be more than that. I said ok, you'll get nothing. If I have to go to court personally, I'll make sure you get nothing.
Ended up that a cop happened to pass by, so he did a report. We never heard from the guy at all. Loser.
