I backed into one of my own cars a couple of years ago and dinged up the rear corner pretty good and broke the tail light. I bought a tail light, and was going to try to fix it myself but there was too much to it, so I got a quote from a repair place, gave them the tail light and they fixed it. I also filed a claim with my insurer. When I went to pay the shop, they were weirdly surprised when I gave them the check. They did not expect an insurance check and thought I was paying out of pocket. They seemed oddly miffed.


Now I know why.
