i mean really. how hard is it to leave a note saying you're sorry?? or something? so what if it's just cosmetic damage (not entirely, since part of the bumper popped out)? but really. that and my front license plate cover is cracked because i'm sure the idiot backed into it (parallel parking). and i left him/her a good 2 feet of room to get out.

<sigh>

 

Ouch! time for a nice aftermarket front bumper.

 

We feel your pain.
It proves my theory that, often, people suck.

 

That sucks. 10-1 it was a woman driver. I'm dreading my first dents.

 

ouch, that's more than touch-up paints.

 

You mean the idiot damaged BOTH the front plate cover and the drivers side bumper? That's gotta mean he/she hit your car 2 times!

Ouchie. I hope the repair goes well.

 

Ouch, that's deep.

 

People really suck sometimes.

 

ouch, is your unlucky day...

 

I've had it happen before too where an old guy in a Park Avenue pulls up in a spot next to me, kicks his door open and slams it into my car....not even an "oops, sorry about that". >=(

 

ouch, my front bumpers a mess too.



perhaps, if there are other unfortunate tsx'ers like us, we could have a group buy??

 

ouch that sucks, sorry man...one time i saw an old lady trying to parallel park and she would bump the cars in front/back till she finally got in...then she just scurried off like nothing happened, ppl like these make me

 

Even though I'm a disenfranchised member of NOW, I'm still a little troubled by your comment.....

 

Makes me wonder if the term "justifyable homicide" started this way.

 

All I'm saying is that women need more than a 2 ft. cushion to parallel park. 50-1 you're a woman.

 

yeah...been talking to some of my friends...and if i knew who it was....what would i do?? probably smack them around a few times. who knows?

 

I've been a victim of parking lot damage too. I've felt your pain!

In the past--less often than more--when I see someone incompetent driving on the highway, I call the police or the highway patrol, as long as I can get their plate number. In a few instances, if it's a commercial vehicle with company name and number painted on it, I'll jot that number and call the company.

And if I should see someone hit another person's car in a parking lot, I'll wait and observe, and get my paper and pencil out to take notes. It's funny how these idiots immediately deny anything and get very angry. I never confront them.

It fits a pattern: There are people who don't feel responsible for their own actions. To counter that, do the right thing. If you are a witness, don't disappear.

 

I went into NYC saturday to hang with a friend, i found a spot on the street at a meter, my lucky day, right?

WRONG!

some jackass in a big 12 passenger van backer right into my plate cover. i just bought it 2 days prior and now it is cracked. i was so mad, i was gonna let the air out of one of his tires, so he couldn't drive away. by the time i went back out, the mofo had already left.

NYC drivers are the worst, they rely on the view od car moving behind them to know when they are back far enough. luckily for me, he only damaged a $5 plate cover.

sorry to hear about you bumper damage. i got a small nick on my rear bumper on like the 3rd day i owned the car!!
