Bump!

I went off to town yesterday to buy some office stationery and got stuck behind this complete muppet and his crap driving. He kept stopping to turn, but didn't, then sped off, turned without signalling, then drove really slow through the Prince's Mead car park, completely oblivious to the fact that anyone might be behind him.

Normally I'd just blast my horn and give him the finger, but I was feeling generous; so I just parked-up and left the idiot to make his stupid way through the parking lot...

Grabbing my ticket from the machine I walked back to my car... a loud sound caught my attention. BANG! The said same crappy driver had only gone and backed into a lamp post in an empty parking lot... And you know what? I LAUGHED!

Whilst he inspected the damage I hung around until he drove past, so I could see for myself... ah, he'd only dented the bumper, a nice BIG dent though LOL

I need to blog about denim jackets next... ;)

    My BBFK: Care to tell me about it, BBFK? *sideways glance, raised eyebrow...*

    LOL Anyway what did ya hit, cupcake? What you do to your car? What did the inanimate, unmoving object do to you to deserve that sorta treatment in the first place?

    LOL, ah you know road-tripping with you is fun :D Next time I'll drive and *you* can have all the pleasure of the passenger seat ;) X

    I remember seeing an old geezer slowly reverse into a car full of youngsters who were totally stationary throughout the whole affair except for their manic shouting and hooting of the horn. After the (relatively quiet) bang the old codger got out and accused them of driving into him. Of course I offered the guys my address as a witness, they, of course just couldn't believe what had just happened!

    Ach, I sideswiped a car in the parking lot back when I first got my license. 'Course, at the time I was so-lucky as to be driving the large family VAN...*shakes head* I learned how to judge spaces pretty fast after that. There was no one in the other vehicle. I left a note profusely apologizing for the scratch and included my phone number, but never heard from the owner. Likely in my freak-out I imagined horrid, irreparable damage, when it was probably just a scuff mark...
    ANd did you just call me CUPCAKE? *puffs off and looks as non pastry-with-pink-frosting as possible*

    *rolling on the floor laughing*...so I can get the pleasure of being the passenger, next time, aye? *huge grin*

    LoL retribution.
    I backed into a sign that said no parking on the grass once. I had parked on the grass and the damn thing was too small to see in my mirrors ....it came off a lot worse than my car.

    I haven't driven in years, luckily for the human race. Not that I was a bad driver. I was a rather good driver, but a bad parker. I have definitely become intimate with unmoving objects. But in my defense, it was dark and I was bitter. Actually, few people buy that as a good excuse.

    so uh i'm not an idiot or anything, however, i do have a running-the-car-into-a-stationary-object story ... i was 19 ... it involved a grocery store parking lot lamppost .. me trying to be badass and back out fast ... boom! ... i blamed my brother for not keeping a look out for me ... :P yeah, that was a bitchy thing to do, i know ... i regret it now ... sort of ... still, he could have kept a look out :P

    Looks like this is turning into a bit of a confessions slot, this one... Father Lever is in the house... sit down, brother, sister, and repent thy sins... ;)

    Brom-man: Brom, you've turned into a donut... stoppit! LOL

    Man, that sucks! Some people just shouldn't be on the roads! Which is why it pisses me off with these new insurance ads when the old duffer has a bump and rants about having had claim-free driving for 40 years! Yeah, but you could see back then couldn't ya? You didn't have arthritis in your clutch foot!

    And a protect no-claims? Permanently? WTF? I should calm, borderline rant there. Cheers Brom ;)

    My BBFK: Ah, *that* one... I remeber now... BBFK 101 ;)

    LOL, maybe you were "all shook up, hm hm hm" and wrote a complete load of jibberish which the poor car owner couldn't decypher?

    Sorry, what? Cupcake? No! *indignant tone* Whatever makes you say that? Anyway, what if I did? You gonna come over here and kick my ass? ;)

    Yep, you can be passenger, how fast you wanna go? Wanna take the scenic route? ;) :p

    Keeefer: So you were on the grass and the sign was where? Oh, right, lawn type grass that the sign was on, yeah...

    Did ya flatten it? Was the car OK?

    Jay: LOL, a bad parker! You do that "parallel parking" ? That's a bitch, especially in a long old car... mine's 15 feet long with a big overhanging arse ;) LOL

    So come on, what was this unmoving object, spill the beans girl *raises eyebrows*

    Rebekah: LMAO OK, so is your bro still bearing the psychological scars of your torment to this day? Does he get all sweaty everytime you reverse into a parking lot? So what damage you do? Dents? Bumper hanging off? You take the lamp-post out?

    a) I have never had the occasion to parallel park in my life...I guess this comes from living in a country with so much space to spare that we always have ample, sprawling parking and I've never had to squeeze in anywhere....which doesn't mean I haven't had accidents anyway

    b) Why does almost every story involving Becky also involve a bad car story...and is it possible to let her live under a nice comfy rock where car trouble will never plague her again?

    c) where's the denim jacket story already?

    Sup l-dog! lol

    Reminds me of this time I was at the local wally world and this girl was impatiently waiting for some pedestrians to get out of her way and once they did she floored it....right into a concrete parking colomn!

     

  • At Wed Aug 17, 09:22:00 PM, Blogger Lever said…

    Jay:

    a) Hmm, that's a very good point... Canada is vast and with so few people... that figures :)

    b) Exactly. Pissing, towing, towing, scraping, towing, towing... you think she should buy shares in a tow-truck company?

    c) I'm busy :p

    RahX: LOL, nutin, r-dog ;)

    LMAO I can imagine her flooring it man, completely LOL Was this a big damage thing? Acceleration + concrete = ouch!

    Funnily enough that reminds me of another story, but that'll have to wait...

    nah. all he does is roll his eyes when i bring it up ... and uh, while the lamppost sustained no obvious injuries, i dented the hatchback door of my mom's SUV pretty bad ... like we would never be able to open that particular door ever again ... do i feel bad? nah. not really. we dont even have that vehicle anymore ... whew ...

    Free entertainment for the day, lol. He sounds like a real winner!

    Rebekah: LOL poor bro, poor mom, poor car... solid lamp post.

    Jeez, that's the worst door you could damage on a car, apart from the driver's door... LOL :)

    Kalina: LOL, yeah, it was amusing, just a shame nobody else really noticed that much, so I got an exclusive show :)

    Anyway, he was more of a real weener LOL

    Yeah, babe-I think we're both scenic route types...more into quality, less worries about time... *wicked grin*

    AND Jay-lady, you have me moving to a rock, huh? *sniff* Well, if someone wants to come over here and drive me around, I'd be amenable to that.... *grins*

     

  • At Fri Aug 19, 09:12:00 AM, Blogger Lever said…

    My BBFK: LMAO Yeah, you're right there ;)

    Oh, and make sure it's a big, comfy rock OK? I'll be over in a flash :)
