I'm always soooo careful with my car... I park it like 10 miles away from the building to avoid door dings... and then I do THIS!.. and it wouldn't be as bad if the guy wasn't a poo-head...

When I left my apartment building to go to dinner with my mom, I noticed a SUV parked in the drive through part of the parking lot, blocking 3 cars into their parking spot. I thought "ugh what a dumb a**, blocking people in..." but then I got in to my car got adjusted and all... basically forgot about the SUV until I went to back out.

I looked back and thought, "oh, I should be able to make it" so I started going back really slowly, making sure not to ding any cars (and my own)... When I'm about 6 feet away from the SUV I hear a "CRUNCH"

oh crap, right? RIGHT!

I pull back into my parking spot completely confused and I get out and I want to smack myself... the SUV had a trailer attached (kinda like this.. but rustier and with crappier wood)

I examine my car nothing TOO bad... the fiber glass is cracked and dented and the paint is all gone to hell at the spot.. but it's a small spot only 2x5 inches or so with other small things outside the area... but then the guy owning the trailer and SUV comes out...

double crap? WRONG! it's nonagonal crap...

he makes a big deal out of it.. as if his trailer were made of glass and I shattered it... I asked if it was really bad and he goes "YEa, it's terrible, I"m going to need to bring it to the weldshop to get it fixed" >_> really now... but I was polite "I'm sooo sorry, I'll pay for it to be fixed" and then, this is what really made me mad... "My daughter is [whoever], do you know her?" first impression is like umm why? do I go to school with her or something? but I just said "no I don't" and so he continued "SHE is the regional manager of these apartments" ... ok, point? is she going to kick my family out because I, an 18 year old girl, knocked his trailer around o_O NO!.. but w/e.. I gave him my apt # and had to pull out the inconvenient way and go ALL the freaking way around the apartment complex because i could, clearly, not get out the way I intended...

so this A-hole not only blocked in the 3 closest cars, but also 4 others on the other side of the through way...

and now my pretty car is all F-ing marred... and my mom also pointed out, that a piece of my $600 plastic on my trunk is all cracked from it...

total damage from one little oversight... if I were to fix all of it... at least $800... and it's hard to find a $200 fiber glass rear bumper <_<

AAAARG!!!!

ok I'm done ranting...

do you have any car-related stories?

[ You take really good care of your car, that really sucks. If it was a crappy trailer, he shouldn't make such a big deal out of it. Its not like you purposely hit it.

I hit our truck once with my car. I forgot it was behind me when I was pulling out of the driveway. Luckily, I don't pull out real fast. It didn't do anything, so no one ever found out. I think my bumper hit its license plate or something. No big deal. ]

lol.. i abused my dodge back in the day.. almost drove it off a bridge or two, almost rolled it into a ditch, took out a mail box and hit a few bumpers, but not enough to damage... lol it was fun... until it lost reverse : |

[ It was still fun even when it didn't have reverse. We had to be a bit creative with driving.

But I wouldn't be able to do that. Car phobia. ]

This one day it was really super icy, so instead of taking the road in front of the school down to the highway, I decided to take the residential road. I was going super slow, but the road is kinda twisty turney, and I slid on some ice. I almost got my car all the way stopped when I bumped... rather... TAPPED a Ford F150 pickup. :S So while I was sitting there trying to figure out what to do, this little pickup comes flying around the corner, and who else could be driving it but Scott Hast. Idiot. Anyways, he hits the same patch of ice and loses control of his car, which drives up the curb and almost hits one of those huge power boxes. You know- the big green ones. Yeah. Pretty sure he would have died if he hit it.

Anyways, I got out and looked at my car and the part right above the wheel on the driver's side was dented in a little bit, but there wasn't any damage done to the guy's truck. He came out to see what was going on, and he said I would be able to just pop that part of my car back out with minimal $'s put into it, so that was good. He wasn't even mad. Yay! ^^
