A very CLOSE call at the parking lot!!!!

FairladyZ10PG · 09-10-2010, 05:07 PM

I was coming back from my lunch break and my heart almost dropped to the floor when I saw this. Luckily no damage to the car (purchased 3 weeks ago).

For the next half an hour, (at this point I didn't care if I was late for work as I was determined to find the owner to have a few "kind" words) I looked around & asked everyone if they own this car but no luck.

As I was just about to give up, guess who shows up but a girl about 18. Figures.

By the look of the front tires, she took a hard right and basically ended up right next to him, very lucky indeed.

Did u say anything to her? What the he'll was she thinking?

phelan · 09-10-2010, 05:17 PM

Yeah she's a bit far over, but tbh you're not parked perfectly either.

I do feel very fortunate that she didn't hit my car.

How is he suppose to get in? That's just a **** move.

It's California. More than half of us can't drive worth a damn. Hell, a bunch of drivers aren't even licensed in this state

Especially if it's a kid handling a boat of an SUV like that, I'm not surprised she has no idea where her car's edges are. Just be positive, at least there was no damage to be had. I'm sure it wasn't a purposeful '**** move', especially from an 18 yr old girl.

EDIT: could be worse, we almost had another one of these on our hands: i got hit-HELP!!

I told her next time leave her number so someone can contact her. She was getting her nails done.

You're right but I did park that way for a reason as the car that I initially parked next to was far to the left as well. Left me no choice & I didn't want to do what she did

WarmAndSCSI · 09-10-2010, 05:28 PM

I would have gotten in through the passenger side backed out and torched that POS Chevy. Seriously, no excuse for that kind of dumbassery.

But on a serious note, you should use an end spot next time

I'd seen that thread before and this incident reminded me of that as soon as I saw it.

I am pretty lucky.

HaHa. I really wanted to see the driver of that car so I chose not to move the car. I'll try to find a safer spot from now on.

I keep a pocket knife in my car for situations just like this. One time I needed to pull into a 15min flasher waiting zone when I was apartment finding, and there was a dip$hit in a utility truck parked there. He was just getting out and I politely asked him how long he thought he'd be. He replied "as long as I want". Strange, but utility trucks sometimes get two flat tires at the same time...

I don't think the truck deserved that... Next time stab the guy in the leg.
