Default Some people like to park really close

I was at a large public event today, and when I came back to my car I found this Jeep making contact with the front of my car. You would think that the driver, after making contact, would have had the sense to back off a few inches.

Anyway, there doesn't appear to be any damage, as the plastic grill is more forgiving than a sheet-metal fender. But it still pisses me off that some people can be so careless ... and oblivious!

I'd be like
"Keep your ugly license plate off my rings"

Except with more "bleeps"

I'd sue him for a hit-&-run

I would have gently keyed his Jeep and drive away...

Somehow, your response doesn't surprise me. Leaving a snarky note like "next time leave me a can opener so I can get out, a55hole", would suffice. Keying another person's car is a total douche move.

And criminal. I'm not saying that wouldn't go through my mind, but I would have been really mad.

I did leave the guy a note, telling him I wasn't too happy about what he did and asking him to email me. I told him if I didn't hear from him, I would post on the Internet pictures, including one I have of his full license plate.

I have thought about creating like an IG account that features these kind of drivers, those that park parallel on straight lines, those that park on handicap w/out a permit, or in general those that do not know how to park properly. Just a cool pic featuring their car, license plate and a bunch of "pretty" #hashtags

If I would put pictures on the internet of someone who bumped into my car like that, and his license plate is visible (and readable), that guy can then prosecute me for invading his privacy. Stupid, isn't it?
