WTF is wrong with people?

It baffles me how people can hit PARKED cars. They're not moving! If you are approaching a parked car, put your foot on the brake pedal and you won't run into it.

And, if you are a horrible driver and run into a parked car, leave a freakin note, you asshole. Why is there now a ding/scrape/dent on my brand new car!?

    Seems simple to me, there seems to be a lack of respect in society and its only getting worse. Sorry to hear about your car, been there.

    I almost hit a parked car earlier this week. In my defense I wasn't paying attention to what was infront of me.

    Not paying attention isn't much of a defense

    Someone hit me in a parking lot & did $1,000 worth of damage -- got both the front & rear doors. And didn't leave a note. My deductible was $250. The body shop said that if they had left a note, it wouldn't have cost them anything. I don't care that it happened -- people do make mistakes -- but it's so annoying not to take responsibility for a mistake. So I got to pay for someone else's mistake.

    Especially the fuckers who just pulled away from their house and they are on the fucking phone. Sit in the fucking car and talk but don't do it while the car is moving. If everyone drove a manual no one would be talking on the phone. It is physically impossible. Also, everyone thinks they are No. 1 because they were taught that from the time they were born. You can't expect them to care for other people overnight. PEOPLE SUCK!! (and not in a good way).

    Just think.... If we had a good old fashioned world war it might thin the herd out a little. :)

    Ha! You are very wrong. Coming from a place where manuals are driven pretty much exclusively, it does NOT stop people talking on their phones while driving.
    Although you are right that people suck.

    Iv hit a parked car before at work and they had cameras all over the place. I had a red honda and I hit a big white truck. I was so stoned, so I took off and parked around the corner. The next day the truck was parked next to a car that was the same color as mine and security was out there and everything. I got away with it. A few years before that a guy in a truck backed in my honda and the tail pipe went through my radiator. I was in my drive way...

    This is why you never buy a brand new car. It's a bad investment, and nobody else gives a shit about your property!

    It's a used car, but brand new to me and was 'dentless'. I don't buy cars as "investments"....I couldn't care less about the car, its just the fact that people are dumb enough to hit a parked car and then on top of that can't take responsibility for their own actions.

    I would take it from this that the Irish are more skilled at driving while on the phone with a manual. It is probably true because most U.S. drivers are retards. I know I can't drive and talk on the fucking phone, so I don't. This makes me superior to all the other drivers around me and that is all that matters. (Until one of the fuckers drives into me.)

    #1 scene to avoid... Any suburban shopping mall at Christmas time. I just love the Christmas spirit in the air.:( Or anyone who finds the need to go to a store at 3 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving. WTFFFFFFF!

    I was sat in my dad's car in a carpark a few months back and some woman hit the car really hard with her door as she got out of hers and walked off. I got out the car, ran after her and said "excuse me, you just slammed your door right into my car. We're now going to walk back to it and see if you did any damage before you go anywhere". She told me she was in a hurry, I told her it was in her best interests to come with me :rolleyes: It wasn't damaged though. She seemed very shocked by a 19 year-old telling her what to do but it was nothing compared to the reaction she would've got if she'd dented it in front of my dad and walked off. It just pissed me off because she totally slammed it, turned around, looked at me nervously and then just walked off as fast as possible. Cheeky cow.

    Not everyone has a driveway. A lot of cities especially in the Northeast that have been around for 300-400 years (when there weren't cars) don't have driveways or garages. Try dealing with that when there is a snowstorm, too and the snowplow plows your car in and you get to dig the fuck out.

    the houses arent 300-400 years old...this is someoen who has been in a house since 1999..Im assuming there is a driveway and possibly a garage or carport....and this wasnt in the Northeast.....it was in Seattle. I understand where you are coming from....but this isnt the case here. And I know how gettin your car stuck in a plow drift is...Im orginally from Chicago and lived out near Soldier field wher we also had to deal with lake effect.

    I still ask...why doesnt the original poster park in his driveway

    I'm just stating that not everyone has a driveway. At least in Boston and NYC where the houses were built before cars. This is the only part of the country that matters anyways. BTW the oldest house in Boston is Paul Revere's which was built in the 1660's.

    I have a driveway...a very narrow driveway...and for some reason my neighbor's boyfriend likes to block half of it with his brand new beamer...so if he's blocking it when I need to get in or out of it...I will be the asshole hitting a parked car :) I have no idea why he choose to block my driveway instead of hers :confused:
