AITAH for asking my cousin to pay after hitting my car?
We had a family reunion this weekend, and I brought my 28 year old convertible to the party. I parked it on the side away from everyone, so it doesn't get hit. It's a very clean car and has no dents or damage. It's my baby, it's technically a "classic".
My cousin showed up when it was dark, and parked next to it. Later on, when grabbing a bag out of my car. I found my cousin hit my car, causing a massive dent and paint missing. I did confront him and show him the damage, he didn't even notice he hit it. We did exchange a few words. But I just let it go as our weekend was literally just starting. I wanted us all to have a good time, drama free.
We all were leaving today, and I told my cousin that we need to arrange something because my car needs to be fixed. He was not happy at all and wasn't expecting me to ask him to fix it. He stood there with his mouth open at me. I had to involve his mother (he is a 33 year old stoner if that matters) and tell her that he hit my car.
We did make an arrangement and it's being fixed once I find a shop. But now, the relationship I had with my cousin is probably done. He ignored me while I loaded my car, and shot some nasty looks my way. (I live 6 hours away in another state and we never see each other, only at these reunions.)
AITAH?
