Broken window, i lucked out thoe

Ive only been doing this a few years and today had my first broken window. I was trimming around a tree on a road were theres construction. Out of no were under the grass goes a flying rock right into somebodys car. I look over an saw glass falling. I lucked out the guy was reasonably nice for the situation an understood it wasnt done on purpose. I walked over to my truck with him to get him a bussniess card and exchange information with him. He asked about the snap on tourque wrench sitting on the floorboard that was still in the box new. We ended up trading the tourque wrench for a broken window. I didnt really wana trade but I figured ahh better then dealing with insurance an having him frusterated and we would both be happy. Come to find out he works at a body shop were they do windows as well. I lucked out today that he was understanding and we were able to resolve it so easy.

So I was wondering, how many windows have you guys broke?

Sounds like the victim made out better than you did!

We've broken two in a years time and fixed one.

Broke a car window about 5yrs ago. I payed for half of it. Guy admitted he saw me trimming near the curb and he should have switched to the far lane.
