Better you than me........If he actually said that, I would have carved the entire Declaration of Independence on his car in BIG letters........but that's just me.
You could write “It’s just a little paint” in the middle of his hood, using brake fluid for ink.
Looks like the only teacher that can learn the young man is karma.
Woe is the person that can’t learn from the experience of others. Making your own history is so much more painful and expensive than borrowing it at no cost from others.
Severe temptation to take vise-grips and choke off the exhaust. 5 minutes and misery to the a**hole recipient.
Guys like him are why I carry a can opener and a can of clams.....
Then there's the old potato up the tailpipe.
Spray the door handle with pepper spray, he's bound to touch is face at some point soon after getting in.
Rocks in the hub cabs is always a crown pleaser.
The last three have the advantagle of not being damaging but are highly annoying.
That deserves at the very least a potato jammed into his exhaust pipe.
Not that I've ever done anything like that.
I know exactly how you feel. I make it a habit of opening the car door or the entry door for my wife when I’m with her - to the point she sometimes waits till I catch up (else I mention it) - she didn’t grow up with it nor expect it when we first dated in Japan.
Now I also hold the door for any lady or gentleman who happens to be near the door at the same time (only older gentlemen not younger that is their duty). I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had the ladies thank me with a big smile - but I’ve had nearly as many snarl at me as though I was somehow lashing them with a whip. I always smile and nod and say ‘have a good day’ or ‘happy (insert holiday here)’. Cashiers tend to get suprised too when I say ‘you have a nice day’ (the grumpy ones are most astounded it’s a shock to their system I think).
I offered to help a couple change their tire - they looked at me like I was Jason come to slash their throats. I just smiled and said it was no trouble t’all. The elderly gentleman thanked me and assured me he could handle it.
I try to kill them with kindness - though I’ll admit when I’m having a bad day the ones who recognize me seem know right away that the energy just isn’t there - most times the regulars try to smile more so has to ease whatever is bugging me - and it works....though it takes a loong time before they finally figure out they can be nice too. What irks me most though is no sooner I get one trained up right then they leave or get moved to another shift or something and I have to start all over again....ah well it keeps me on my toes.
His ass would have walked out of the restaurant to find 4 deflated tires.
Would be tempting to leave a note with it:
“It’s ok man, it’s only air asshole. My tires have plenty”.
He should probably be taught a lesson, but not damage the car..... like deflating the tires.
My ex-boyfriend would’ve blew his stack, that’s all I know. He would’ve wrote some nasty offensive message on his car in permanant marker.
I think I would have got out to stretch my legs....exiting out of the passengers side with a good swift swing of the door.
I also enjoy not holding the door for jerks, especially during the 'hot coffee' season now upon us.
Funniest Bumper Sticker ever:
Picture of Obummer. Text reads: Does this Ass make my truck look bigger?
Unbelievable!! I’m sorry you had to experience that.
Okay, I’m not saying I ever did this but I will let you in on an old Baltimore “love message”. Many people in Baltimore will carry sugar in their cars. When something like you described occurs, they will place some of the sugar in a cup and relieve themselves in that cup. The “tinkle” dissolves the sugar. The sugar/tinkle mixture is then placed on the windshield and the handle of the car door. FROM WHAT I AM TOLD, this is best done in the Winter since the liquid freezes. In order to clean up the sugar, they actually have to scrape it off. As soon as the mixture comes back to room temperature... well, they know it wasn’t sugar and water. (I know some very passive-aggressive people with interesting ideas, don’t I ?!)
Should have called the cops and reported a hit and run. That’ve fixed him but good. Law requires drivers to exchange or leave their info before departing. In FL even paint transfer is considered proof of hitting the other vehicle.
It would have been a LOL disruption for his meal -or more likely dish washing shift.
Sir Francis Bacon once stated ......
“In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.
That said I don’t think that 20 year old punk read any of Bacons quotes so ya should have repeatedly slammed yer car door back and forth into his Honda a few times and said ....yeah yer right , my doors OK and left !
That’s just my opinion of course....yer mileage may vary.
Stay safe !
Most of these fast food joints have surveillance cameras watching the parking lots. It’s worth a try to report it to the police and see if they can review the tapes and maybe catch a license number. As far as I know, they still treat hit and runs pretty seriously - even if it’s only a minor accident.
What rock have you been under for the past 20 years?
I have lived in California my entire life, sometimes in San Franciso and Sometimes in and around Sacramento. Manners and courtesy died some 20 years back.
It has been a decade or 2 since anyone has ever waved at me in a car when I allowed him to merge into my lane or come in from a parking lot to a crowded street.
Courtesy and manners died a good 20 years ago and it has gotten worse since then.
Pop culture has made it worse, or perhaps art is just imitating life. 40 years ago we would NEVER have tolerated commercials with abrasive people bullying others. Today it is encouraged and it is the role model who is telling people off to be left alone to eat a burger, or pushing people aside to grab the last product from a shelf.
And the flood of immigrants has only made it worse. Some cultures from over-crowded conditions embrace might makes right. In these countries, there is no waiting in line for your turn. They method is just to shove to the front, pushing others aside. Now that those immigrants are here, they have brought with them their “shove you aside, push to the front” mentality.
We are a long way from Ward Cleaver, sharing, holding doors open, saying “you first” or granting a courtesy wave.
Today it is all about “you dissing me”, “F you”, the middle finger, what can I get by force, up yours, eat my dust, get outta my way.
As we become a less Christian nation, the Golden Rule is dying. I just can’t believe you haven’t seen it until 2012. Manners and courtesy died a good 20 years ago or more.
