It's was the third day of February which was on Monday in the afternoon when i witness an incident that resulted to a serious fight between two grown up men in my area.

According to the news i heard that it all started when one of them gave his car to the other one who is a mechanic to fix it for him since the car has been developing some fault and he wants to travel with it in few days time that's is why he brought it for him to service it very well.
After everything the mechanic told the man that his car will be ready and okay the next day afternoon, the man had no option than to leave the car with the him because he want a good and clean job.

The next day afternoon when the man went to the mechanic shop to get his car he was surprised to see his car badly damaged in the front and the mechanic was just telling him to calm down let him explain what actually happened.
Even before the mechanic could say anything else the man grabbed him on his shirt with force and started dragging him on the ground shouting "what did you do to my car" repeatedly until people around came to separate them and even with that the man refuse to leave the mechanic clothes because he was very and disappointed on what the mechanic did.
The mechanic said that it all happened when he finished working on the man car so he actually driving the car to check if everything he did was okay and unfortunately when he was coming back he looses control and hit a tree when he was trying to dodge somebody trying to cross the road.

After hearing the explanation the owner of the car calm down a little bit so they started negotiating how to repair the damage car.
When there were doing that the mechanic said a provoking word that "how can he pay seventy percent of the money to repair the car when everything was a mistake" this got the man provoke that he stand and punch the mechanic for saying that, and that's how they started a serious fight between them and i was surprised to see that the mechanic was even fighting back knowing fully well that he got somebody's car damaged in the first place.

So after hearing the reason behind the issue between them i quickly took some photos of the incident as a neighborhood reporter and left the place because i know police will show up in a short while to avoid any form of implications or harm that's why i left there, so i don't know what happened next or how they ended up with the issue.

I have come to the point of the week #86 contest, special thanks and appreciation to the organizer of this contest @xkool24 for the privilege to report the events happening around us.
Also i will be inviting my fellow steemians @josepha @pandora2010 @edgargonzalez to take part in this contest as well.

Well, some things happen to us that can make us lose control of our anger; bringing my car for you to repair with no physical damage and then coming back to see such damage can make me arrest you, but the reason given by the mechanic was considerable.
In my own opinion, the mechanic should take full charge of the damage when the man pays for what he wants to repair before the damage, but if there's any negotiation and agreement between them, then it should be 50/50, Since it wasn't really the mechanic's fault, life is hard.
Thanks for your contribution.
