Someone asked me to pay to repair her $5000 handbag
So I was walking down the escalator at the train station this morning, and I was carrying a few things, so I had quite a bulky side bag.
A woman came up to me at the MRT platform later and approached me claiming that I had “hit” her $5000 handbag and chipped the corner off her handbag.
She was basically looking for a fight, confronting me in the middle of the doorway to the MRT during rush hour.
I just moved us both into the MRT when it arrived, and asked her what she wanted or expected from me. She showed me the corner of her bag, and insisted that I pay for the repairs. But when I looked at the other corner of her bag, it was chipped too.
She claimed that was “small” so it was understandable, but the chip that I made with my Nike reusable bag was “bigger”. She didn’t want me to take a photo of the other side of her bag, but I took a photo of the chipped side. She kept trying to talk to me and start a fight in the train, but I just put my headphones in and ignored her.
Anyway, just want to know what to do when she texts me. Do I have to pay for her repairs? Or can I just block her and ignore her messages? Does she have any legal recourse against me if I just ignore her? She doesn’t have my name, but I did give her my real number because she called me on the spot to check.
Netizens’ comments
- Corners of real leather bags wear and tear easily with use, especially if it’s lamb or goat skin. She’s trying to finesse you lmao crazy
- If she calls or texts you, give her a police station address and meet there inside.
- Not going to lie kinda sounds like she just wants your money. That aside, how the hell did your Nike reusable bag chip a bag? Like what part did it even chip?
- You gave her your number? Just ignore her, block her as well. The police does not have time for this.
- Sounds like a scam brudda
- Tell her she hit your Nike bag with her 5000 bag but you’ll let it go.
- Ask her to provide evidence(s) that you were the one who damaged her bag. She can get the police or her lawyers involved but most likely nothing is going to happen unless there are concrete evidence(s) like CCTV recording that your bag “rubbed” against her’s with a force that’s enough to cause damage to her bag.
