Traded in my '12 Gun Metallic Sport on Saturday for a '15 Solid Red Sport.
The old and the new:
Now get this:
This morning at DMV in NC some prick getting into this barge which he parked next to my passenger side despite me picking a spot far away from everything else in the lot, slams his door into the right rear fender/wheel well area, hard enough that I felt it in the seat.
I was sitting in the car, parked, talking on the phone, and he didn't see me in the car. Now, there was plenty of space between his car and mine. His car is a 4-door, not real big doors, and he was not big and fat, was not carrying an armload of packages or a baby or child, was not elderly, not a loopy teenager (he was about 45-50) and could have EASILY gotten into his car without his car door getting anywhere near my car. This prick deliberately slammed his door into my car. I don't know if he is a jealous prick, or just an ignorant prick. I flew out of my car, approached him an yelled hey!, which he either ignored or didn't hear (his window was closed). When I put my face up to his window and yelled it again much louder this time you can bet he heard it and probably crapped his pants when he saw the look on the face of the guy he just figuratively crapped on. This guy was a coward. He was 10-15 years younger than me and at least as fit and big as me, but wouldn't even roll down the window a quarter of an inch. I had to read his lips to hear his pitiful "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" after the dress-down I gave him. He wouldn't have been sorry had he known I was sitting in the car because he wouldn't have had the balls to slam his door against mine. I was pissed. It's a good thing the hit he gave my car left no visible damage. I told him I didn't even own this car for 48 hours yet and he should be a little more respectful of other people's property.
The ironic thing about this whole long winded story is that when I came out of DMV and saw the car parked next to mine (actually a car on either side by now) I felt relieved when I saw the guy walking towards the barge get into it, thinking he looked like a guy who wouldn't damage someone else's car. Why do people have to be such cowardly pricks?
