Well, at least he didn't back his car into yours. I've seen that happen before. It wouldn't even bother me if it was a situation that couldn't be avoided. But when you see an woman in her 70s (at least) get into her car, put it in reverse, and then stare straight ahead, not looking at any of her mirrors or anything, and just keep backing up until she hits something, then puts it in drive and rolls away, you start to wonder if perhaps we should have people take another driver's test at, say, the age of 75 or so...

I was hit by an old guy a little more than a year ago and he said those exact words.

Good for you trying to take the high road. I see people flinging doors open without a care in the world all the time.

The OP came off full of braggadocio like a 21 year old and not a 50 year old even though the old fart in the Vette was at fault and acted like a jerk. You shouldn't be scaring the living **** out of an 81 year old man. |

No need to argue over my actions.
I was not bragging. Nor would I ever. I will say that had anyone else been there and been verbally assaulted and attacked like I was by this man - you would understand my reaction of "standing up for myself in an appropriate manner". He was in a nice suit, obviously very astute for his age - but in typical LA fashion nothing is ever anyone's fault and never will they take ownership of actons. He felt he could bully me and I would simply back down. And for the record - he lives in a 2.1 million house in Brentwood, and yet he did not have current insurance. And the accident was rule 100% his fault. And he will be paying diminished value. |

Ya'll take it too seriously. There are seem old mean people out there. I have had my fill on a few old people trying to shove their ego's in my face and I had to make it clear with them. It has nothing to do with their age, status, anything in that nature. You try to make me look a *****, I will put you in your place in a 3 step manner. I'll start with 1, verbally using wits. 2 is talking the way I do when I'm mad, cussing them out. 3 if they swing, I'm kicking their ***. It's simple as that

Oh man, that happened to me too. But it was the back fender at a costco gas station. SUV opened their door on me. My Z was brand new, just got my plates when it happened.

if a 80 year old man swung at me, i would not hit him back... if a 80 year old man can catch you with a punch then you need put the doughnuts down. if it's someone my age then there is no problem hitting back, but someone that could be my grandpa, no.

With age there is suppose to be wisdom. And a wise man knows you can solve things without problems. I have nothing to prove to anyone, especially an old man, but once they add me to their business in an offensive way, I will go through that 3 step process. So at least I'm giving them the chance to end the conversation. They won't get knocked out if they don't swing, thats all I'm saying. Good luck with being the "nice guy" journey in your life

Has nothing to do with being the "nice guy" it has to do with respect for the elderly
