Some idiot hit me in a parking lot...

I was heading into the store to do some grocery shopping. I was walking from the van to the front door of the store. This shouldn't have been a complicated process. It was cold and the wind was blowing, so I had my head down and was looking ahead to see where the main traffic lane was. Just then I felt a nudge and found myself moving backwards. I jumped up a little bit and ended up in a weird position where I was half on the trunk of a Ford Temp of Death. My reaction was to beat the hell out of the side of his car while yelling, "HEY! HEEEY!"

He finally stopped and I dismounted. I wasn't interested in making a huge deal out if it since I was unhurt and I was more concerned about getting in out of the cold. I gave the guy a stern stare and started to walk away. The guy rolls down his window and yells, "What's the fuckin' problem?" I yelled back, "You just hit me." I figured he would be smart enough to leave it at that, but no. Captain Genius decides he wants to get out of his car and talk about it. I really wanted to just get in out of the cold, but I this guy wanted to take this further.

He walks up to me, staring me up and down. I'm debating whether I have time to get my gloves off before bare hands are needed. Captain Genius gets in my face and asks me what my problem is. I repeat the fact that he had just hit me. His reply was that he only had his car in neutral. I asked him how I got on his car and back 3 feet from where I was standing??!! By this time people were starting to gather, so I figured he was going to either start throwing or take his ass back to his car. He must have came to his senses because his reply was, "I just want to say sorry, ok?" (Still trying to sound hardcore). He puts out his hand for me to shake it. I shook it with my left hand ready to go in case he was trying to sucker me.

I still don't get why he wanted to yell and argue about it. He was an idiot who didn't look behind him before backing up and I was fine with that.

I did find this while I was in the store.

He thought you were being an ass for no reason cause he didn't understand what you said the first time and got in your face. He realized what happened when you repeated what you said and backed off. Move on with life and post less.

How about you post less negative shit? Some of us actually experience real life on a daily basis, and feel the need to rant about it on a board. If you can't handle daily life rantings, perhaps these type of threads are best avoided.


OP: That sucks, I'd be pissed, but was there any real damage, or were you just aggravated by his carelessness?

Must be that sort of night. On my way to the grocery store and watched someone try to run a red light and hit a guy on a motorcycle. Luckily in was in a semi residential neighborhood so neither of them was going very fast. But I did see some pieces of the guys bike on the ground and he jumped up pretty quick and seemed to be pissed.

I did leave a nice ding in his quarter panel from beating on it :)

I was fine. I was kind of proud of myself for not losing it. In the past, I would be in jail on an assault charge right now. I kept my cool though!

I think it's perfectly fair to say "post less" to anyone over 10k posts :)

For some reason, I read that as you would've dropped your gown in agony... Ow my butt!!!

Then I realized you meant 'ground'.

No but seriously, good job not getting in an unnecessary fight.
