Today, after getting out of work, I walked to my friend's CRX that I'm borrowing, and get inside. I was sitting in the driver's seat, and called my turbo installer to ask him a question about my turbo install. He didn't answer, so I started leaving a message for him, when all of a sudden, a white Excursion with chrome rims starts to pull into the spot to the right of me - on the passenger side of the CRX. He pulled up close and he was pretty ghetto looking, and I just had this feeling that he was going to hit my door. I stopped talking in my message and just stared at him.

This dumb shit opens his door right into the passenger mirror, and I yell out "mother fu.cker" - the phone is still leaving the voice mail. I hang up, jump outside and look at the mirror. This dude saw the door hit the mirror (I know because I stopped what I was doing in the phone message and stared at him because I thought that this was going to happen) and looked over at my car and saw that I was in it - we made eye contact right as I yelled out the "mother fu.cker" and he looked away really quickly, and got out the car and started walking away. I start up the car, drive up next to him and said:

"you know, if this was my car, or if my friend actually cared about this car (this CRX has 181K miles, a complete POS beater that barely runs), I'd be on the phone with the police making you pay for that". This piece of garbage human being has the audacity to lie to my face, he, his friend, and this woman that he met up with all said "naw, he ain't hit yo' cah" in the most ghetto ebonic accent. I was like "you're a fu.cking liar, you looked right at me as your dumb ass hit the mirror." By this point, they started yelling at me and cursing me out. I was shaking, I was literally at the point of explosion. Just a little tangent:

I am EXTREMELY careful about other people's cars when I park. First of all, I park in East Jesus whenever I go anywhere. I'm talking the very back of a parking lot where nobody is. I don't have any door dings because I'm careful not to park by these stupid people who just don't care about other people's property and their head is in the clouds. This is one really big pet peeve of mine. I've actually seen people hit other people's cars, and yelled at them. I have a big, loud mouth (it's seriously going to get me into trouble one day) and I've cussed people out for hitting OTHER PEOPLE'S cars, wrote down their liscense, and told them that I was going to leave a note for the other person's car and tell them what happened. This has happened more than once. This is how much door dinging PISSES ME OFF.
Back to the incident: Again, I was at the point of explosion, and shaking. I was ready to get out and stab this guy with a pen. The audacity, and lack of personal pride this stupid man had disgusted me. Absolutely disgusting. I said a really nasty remark to him and his friends (I think I used the "c" word to describe the woman) and just drove off. Half of me wanted to go back and key his door but that would make me no better than them.

I'm sorry, I just had to vent. I've been pissed off all night and just completely upset at the lack of pride people have in themselves. I need to get out of this city.

 

Definitely shoulda called the cops.

 

If you had some garbage in the car, you should have thrown it at them, and then driven off.

 

maybe you need to head out to the Frisco bay.

 

I know your pain. My car has been hit 8 times in 4 years. 6 of those were while the car was parked. The other 2 I was rear ended sitting at a red light.

My previous neighbor backed into my car 3 times. She had at least 20 feet and managed to hit my car and the car on each side of me multiple times. She then had the nerve to deny that she did it despite the fact that my silver paint was all over her maroon bumper.

We finally caught her one day in the act. We watched her backing out. She doesn't look at all. She backs up until she feels the bump of the car behind her and then starts to pull forward.

Sometimes I wish I had a 007 license to kill.

 

So did you call your turbo guy back and tell him that the f-bomb you dropped wasn't meant for him??

 

LOL - he called me back 10 minutes later and was like "dude, are you alright?" and I explained the story.

I was in counceling a few years ago (lot of bad personal stuff happened when I started college around 2000 - father died, I had some anger management problems - lots of other stuff too) and one of the things we talked about was my undying hatred for "stupid people" and how inconsiderate they are. Some people's heads are just up in the clouds (or their ass) and have no pride or take no responsibility for their own actions. I had a tough childhood at times and I worked my ass off to get to where I am today - I definitely have a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality and I believe firmly in extreme personal freedoms and the right to do as you choose with your own life - so much as it does not affect another's. This person today just really set me off in a bad way.

I think I'm going to have a glass of port and relax - I've been on edge all night and it's just not worth it. I'm just glad it was this beat up CRX with barely any clearcoat left and a dying auto tranny and not my S - or I would have called 911 on the spot.

To everyone out there, the next time you park - think twice about where it is! I hate having to read all of these "my S was hit/vandalized" threads. I feel sorry for anyone who has to go through crap like this (I've had 3 vandalized cars - one of which was completely stolen with 4K in mods - and my S was actually keyed in this same parking lot last summer for NO reason whatsoever). I wish people were just nice and cared about other people and weren't so selfish.

 

What's Frisco Bay?

 

im gonna get flamed for this but....

the last time something like this happened to me was when a jetta pulled up so close to my bumper that it was touching my car. the screws on his licsense plate make divits in my bumper cover. well as you can imagine i was pissed, so i proceeded to put my foot into his driver door, and leave a nice size dent it it. i admit it was childish, and imtaure and im not proud of it, but it was a crime of passion, forgive me.

 

Oh man, you have no idea how badly I wanted to write "ghetto trash" into the side of his door. The last thing I need is to get arrested or beaten up though
