bad drivers...

Okay, I was soooo shocked by this that all I could do was take a picture. I just happened to walk out and unlock my X5 when an older woman walked blissfully away seemingly completely unaware she just did this:

I think I'll rant for just a little while: People who don't give a sh*t about their fellow drivers' cars don't belong behind the wheel! The first week I got my X someone backed into the poor thing while it was parked - and then tried to drive away! I was so mad I went and sat on their hood until the police arrived and I got their insurance information. I mean come on!!! If you make a mistake, what ever happened to apologizing, or at least acknowledging it?! This woman even smiled as she walked away, WTF?!!!!!!!!!!
Rant Off.

WTF man...I would be so pissed off....
Agree with jwalsh22, some people just don't care about other cars...
I hate to park my car in public parking lot, or streets for this reason.

Life will return the favor to her, don't worry. That's just wrong to be so careless and disrepectful of others.

But she probably was completely unaware.

Hard to tell from the photo, but did she hit you? If so, sorry to hear it, and it's good that you know who did it.

If she didn't hit you, but effectively blocked you in, well, there are open spots around and you can get out of your stall OK. It is incompetence, not malicious intent (unless you saw her manoevering to get closer to you, then that is a whole different story. And if it was intentional, she would have done it next to your driver's door, making it a hassle to climb across).

Understand your disbelief, but there are lots of people out there driving who really don't know how to.

Shit that just makes me laugh. People are so clueless. It is getting bad out there..especially with the cell phones. I even saw a lady reading a book while driving, and we were doing 75mph...in the rain. I came out of an amusement park a few years ago to find one of those HUGE monstrosities they call Excursions parked so damn close to me that I couldn't even open my door. Lets just say I wasn't proud of my reaction... but I blamed it on the heat :p

LOL...although I haven't done it...my friend has created techniques for keying cars down to an art form...I don't know whether to scold him or to praise him when he keys cars that deserve it...like double parking...etc...
