Maui Idiots!

[Ed Garces]

Went to see a client whose home was located in a cul-de-sac. There were no cars parked outside when I drove in. I was the only car parked outside. After an hour, I came out to find a VW parked in front of the X5, with its rear bumper almost attached to my front bumper. Note: there were still no other cars in this large cul-de-sac, just the "f.....g " (excuse the expletive) Volkswagen kissed-ass with my X5 as per the picture.

So I started taking pictures when I noticed the VW owner was still in his car so I immediately tapped his window and asked him to come out. He's an elderly guy (found out later that he was 85) so I told him he may have damaged my car and also asked why he parked so close to mine when the whole cul-de-sac is car-free. His reply - because I parked in front of his house! Took a deep breath as I was about to become mouthy and ugly when I realized that this guy looked familiar and then I remembered that I met him 15 years ago and more importantly he is also my neighbor's dad! So I cooled off quickly even though I still managed to tell him he was an asshole which he quickly replied that I should have parked in front of the house that I visited to begin with. Go figure.

Well, as it turned out, there was no damage, just some dirt scratches from both our dirty bumpers. Moral of the story: It doesn't matter how or where you park your X5, there are idiots everywhere
