Idiots shouldn't even be able to leave their homes
« on: October 17, 2005 - 02:38:55 PM »
Today I received a call from a friend,whose home from college, saying that he was in town and wanted to get something to eat. So I figure, "ahh what the hell, its a nice day....I'll take the challenger" So I head up to Arby's and park the car in the farthest parking spot I could, one on the end so that only one other person can park next to me. I order, sit down, notice that an Audi parked next to the challenger, and start eating. About 5 minutes later I watch this lady walk out to her Audi and I think nothing of it (I mean, why should I??? she is driving a 40k car...). I then watch her proceed to open her door right into the character line of the challenger without a care in the world. With my blood-pressure rising, I then watch her pull the door close and to my horror I see a 1/4 inch chip on the character line. So I run out there and tell the lady what she did. She plays dumb and starts trying to play down the situation, she gives me her name and information and "claims" that she will pay for it, but there really isnt anything I can do about it.....afterall it was on private property. I already went and got 3 estimates and they range from 450-520 bucks...I am so mad right now. I just want to know how somebody can be so inconsiderate of other peoples property. I have never hit my door on another persons crappy car, let alone an expensive car. I really hope she pays, but if she doesnt then does anyone know if I have any options in this matter, like small claims court???

Small claims would probably an option but judging from the way she acted money probably means nothing to her. She has managed to purchase her way through life being an inconsiderate Bi#@h. Many people do not get the idea of working hard and taking care of one's property. When it gets dirty you just get another one. She has no respect for others.
 My guess is she will pay , if not in this life in the after life.

That sucks, Killer_Mopar!!!  I would have definitely lost it had I seen the entire situation as you did.  I too hope she will actually pay for the damages, but I guess you won't know until the money's at the shop and your Chally's being fixed.

What makes it worse is that it's my dad's car (although we share it, untill my car is finished) Although, he didnt get all that mad when he saw it because he knows that I am more careful with the car than he is. Funny thing is that he was actually more mad at me for not kicking in her door than anything else. I guess he sees it as $hit happens. All I know is that I keep seeing her opening that door in my mind, its like a horror film just playing over and over.

Man I was PO. >:-( "Oi!!" I yelled watch my car...they did the "No English" routine so I pointed and told them to watch out.......

I was sitting in the parking lot, waiting for my fiances, had a SUV pull in next to me and the woman in the passenger side gets out and slams my door with hers.  It put a small dent and chipped the paint on my new Mustang that I only had for three weeks!  I was furious and it is like no one cares or has respect for other peoples property.  But anymore, it just seems like more of a pain to deal with people to get things set right.

It's worse when people act like, " What!?!?" Ahhh that's nothing it'll be OK" Then say a very mono tone sorry and walk off".......

Kick the crap outta of their car when they leave....lmao

Killer, I feel for you. It just seems to me that's what this world is coming to. Bunch of selfish, disrespectful people caught up in their own world. I hope things work out for you.

I'd be fuming for days Killer!  Sorry to hear about that.  Get an estimate as quickly as you can so she knows your serious.

This is why I park in the employee's parking spaces at fast food places, or go through the drive through.  Or park in the empty lot across the street, and walk over.

 Take the 3 estimates to her house. Don't mail them, show up there, and tell her to choose one.

 The fact that it took place on private property has nothing to do with responsibility/ culpability/ or legality.
 The only time private property matters is a police officer may not be able give a driving ticket on private property

I'm definitely going to make sure I park in view EVERY time.
Sometimes it's not careless people but jealous people that do the damage.......
