This @#&$ing Moron Today...

[emmettlodge]

I'm in Indianapolis on a business trip. I didn't drive, I rode with a co-worker, and we took a company E-350 van. This is an extended height van so it doesn't fit into most hotel parking garages.

We arrived at the hotel and were pleased to see that they had an "oversized vehicle" lot which is for any vehicle that doesn't fit in their garage. It's a 5 space lot. 4 spaces were taken - 3 had similar over-height vans in them, and one had a Chevy 1500 pickup truck. A truck which is perfectly capable of fitting in the parking garage.

The remaining space was very tight - the Chevy 1500 driver had parked at a bit of an angle, so that when we backed into the spot, both our doors could not be opened fully.

My co-worker took care to open his door carefully, so as not to hit the Chevy 1500's door. He even took the time to fold the Chevy's mirror in so it wouldn't get bumped by our mirror.

As we are walking up to the hotel, we see this fat dude in a Harley Davidson shirt staring at us. He makes eye contact,

I say "Hey what's up".

He says "That's my truck there"

I say "Which one?"

He says "The black Chevy. I saw your guy bounce his door off the side of it"

I say "No way, we were very careful, we even folded your mirror in for you"

He says "Nooo, I'm pretty sure you smacked my truck"

I say "Okay, well if you're accusing us of damaging your truck I'll go get our insurance information so you can file a claim"

He says "No, no, no that's fine. But you hit my truck"

I say "Look, either we hit you or we didn't. If we did, I'll happily get our company's insurance card and you can make a claim. Otherwise **** off"

He walked away, not sure what his reaction was.

I shouldn't have cursed at him but I was really pissed - I mean, if you're going to park badly, then accuse someone of damage who took the time to be careful around your vehicle, make a big deal of it, then refuse insurance information, what the **** are you standing there yelling at me for?????

[wheeltowheel]

I bet it wasn't even his truck

[Deserion]

[samc]

Was his truck even mint condition?

If not what a douche-bag move of him to say anything.

Guy probably has no insurance and that's why he shutup so fast.

[todras]

Should have said, "Excuse me sir but care to show this damage I caused?" If not get stuffed!

[B3passatBMX]

I would have grabbed a brick and thrown it directly at him. Immediately diffusing the situation.

[CannuckCorradoVR6T]

Few things in life are more infuriating than being wrongly accused.

[euromaxituning]

Trust me sir, I din't hit your truck, yet.

[IridiumB6]

Nearly the same thing happened to me...Some idiot Camry driver parked illegally next to an empty parking spot which I so happened to take. He parked next to the space in such a way that it was nearly impossible to get in, but I carefully managed to anyways.

Upon exiting my car I accidently bumped his door lightly (it was with the black bumper strip that runs along the doors don't worry there was no damage) and as soon as he accused me of hitting his car I kinda flipped out.

I know it was sort of a douche move on my part but I can't stand those tools that just idle in front of stores (illegally I may add) for 45 minutes while another passenger does the shopping..Often leads to jams trying to get out of the damn parking lot too..

Stupid stuff like this happens in every parking lot in every city on everyday... you need some anger management if something that trivial is gonna set you off enough to curse at some guy. I've seen friends get their ass beat for smaller stuff then that.

Just because he was having a bad day and being pissy doesn't mean you have to act in kind. Let the little ish slide, bro... let it slide.

[Aonarch]

Not as awesome as being the only car in the parking deck and coming back to see a Prius nearly against your door and a massive dent in your quarter panel... Only car in the deck, didn't even park near the elevator. OMG SHEEP!

[Tokyosmash]

Trust me sir, I din't hit your truck, yet.

This.

Years ago I got accused of door dinging some guys Jag convertible, I said I didnt and kept walking. The other guy when over to his car and swung his passanger door as hard as he could in to my driver door and told me to **** myself.

When I got back to my car after handling my business I kicked off his driver side mirror and tossed it in to his driver seat.

[emmettlodge]

Forgot to add, we folded our mirrors first, of course.

He was in my FACE!

[eunos94]

He was in my FACE!

so?

[dieselraver]

I would have grabbed my chainsaw, dismembered his body and put it in the dead hooker storage locker. Immediately diffusing the situation.

FTFY

sorry bro, sometimes you come across douches, you did right, when in Douche-land, do as the douches do.

[emmettlodge]

so?

So if I just walked away and said nothing, I'd look like a *****.

[1.8Tquattro]

He was in my FACE!

I'm in your face!

[Tokyosmash]

He was in my FACE!

EDIT: Damn.

[under the radar]

did you go out to the lot later a key the sh#t out of his truck?

[IHateSpeedBumps]

Pocket full of crushed porcelain from your old spark plugs is all you need.

[eunos94]

So if I just walked away and said nothing, I'd look like a *****.

again... so? What do you care what some random douche bag thinks of you?

[BRealistic]

again... so? What do you care what some random douche bag thinks of you?

He is his father.

[emmettlodge]

He is his father.

I am my own father.

[under the radar]

what does that do?

[eunos94]

I am my own father.

I lol'd

I'm just playing devils advocate a little bit tonight but really you should let more of this stuff roll off your back and oh... Take my advice I'm not using it.

[1.8Tquattro]

what does that do?

[emmettlodge]

what does that do?

Ensures your old spark plugs can't be re-used.

[ogvr6]

old school tactic for breaking glass....

[200HP4dr]

Usually, when someone parks like an arse, I park right next to them and smash my door open until I have enough space to get out. I'm generally larger and scarier looking than most people I encounter.

Few things in life are more infuriating than dealing with fat people in Harley shirts.

FIFY.

Sigged. This amused the hell out of me.

[rankadoodle]

Why spark plug piece? How about, brick?

[IHateSpeedBumps]

Why spark plug piece? How about, brick?

Less noise, no finger prints, easier, etc...

[rankadoodle]

Finger prints on a brick? Car Lounge really? I'd rather try to get a partial off that very flat spark plug piece.

The noise is the BEST part. WTF IS WRONG WITH UUUUU
