Poor parker, or total moron? -- You decide...

Parked ten cars from anyone else in an end spot at Wegmen's. This Chevy tank was actually pressing against my bumper. What would you do?

Leave a "polite" note on their windscreen expressing how amazing you think their parking is.

Miller335 · 06-21-2014, 09:58 AM

Wait for that person to come out and figure out their line of thinking.

AgentAvalos · 06-21-2014, 10:06 AM

Come on cars! Get a room!

chatoyer · 06-21-2014, 10:08 AM

If you're a long way away from any other cars and this happens, it is well and truly a statement. No doubt about it.

I don't condone vandalism, but tires don't roll well when they have no air in them. That's what I would be thinking.

He started it.

Put spikes on your bumpers, all of a sudden people pay attention.

mashimarho · 06-21-2014, 10:09 AM

If it's touching, you may be able to get something out of this.

AnthonyT · 06-21-2014, 10:38 AM

These be fighting terms in my book.

But seriously check for damage, confront them for being a douchebage, get there insurance. take a picture of their drivers license just incase insurance is fake. If all else fails fist fight them.

drunkenup · 06-21-2014, 10:53 AM

Central NJ? Which wegmans? I'll come and key it if you won't.

I'm kidding but in all seriousness I'd wait for the owner to come and chew him/her out.. if there's any noticable damage the police would be here before they'd have a chance to explain themselves.

GB-335xiCoupe · 06-21-2014, 10:56 AM

He clearly "crossed the line". Literally. I would have just let all of the air out of all four of his tires. It's not vandalism. And I bet you anything he doesn't carry around an air pump.

evo335xi · 06-21-2014, 11:14 AM

Honestly, depending on the day I'd either walk it off or try to peel off his license plate frame.

Built My Way · 06-21-2014, 11:15 AM

The Chev obviously has a bad ignition switch. Hehe!

e92_enthusiast_1 · 06-21-2014, 11:21 AM

What an asshole.

True, bad suggestion. Don't let the air out of his tires. Instead, butter his windshield.

FriedPiston · 06-21-2014, 11:48 AM

There's more to life than cars and other materialistic things, and it's human nature to be irked in this kind of situation. However, the best approach would be to move on if no harm was done. Otherwise, returning the favor would make you no better than the other person.

Wipe your ballsack all over the door handles.

srezzo · 06-21-2014, 12:43 PM

I had the same thing happen to my previous car and I waited for the owner to come out, ripped him a new one, took his insurance information then called the police to file a report. The COP who came out was kind enough to tell me that "bumpers are meant to be bumped...that's why they're called 'bumpers'". Needless to say I didn't like that, but their insurance company cut me a check for the repair.

I'd like to see what that cop does if someone "bumps" into his cruiser bumpers.

Dark_Knight_335 · 06-21-2014, 12:50 PM

Shocker... fucking tri-state pricks.

Is there a hardware store nearby?

If so, go in and buy some short fat galvanized roofing nails and jam one under each side of all four tires so that when they back up or pull away....*pssssssssshhhhh*....

I in no way condone this behavior, nor have I ever done this- I'm too much of a believer in karma to do so.
