[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have phone insurance so when I drop my phone in the pool, I pay $100 for a replacement. But when a 2 year old or 12 year old throws my phone purposefully into the pool, then I should expect $800 (or possibly $100) from the parent, promptly. Sorry, this doesn't make sense to me. [/quote] Oh, FFS. In polite society, an adult immediately OFFERS to take responsibility for damage/property loss that is either their own fault or the fault of their child. In polite society, such an offer would be refused by the other person if their own negligence contributed to the problem in some way. As usual, it's easy to spot the grown adults on DCUM vs. the immature rubes. [/quote] I get it. I'm an immature rube. Y'all are much more mature than I am. Until this same hypothetical was posted last year, it wouldn't have occurred to me that the proper social etiquette was to politely offer to pay and to politely decline the offer. [/quote]
