I need some sliders some ahole dented the driver side lower door in my disco. 150 dollar bill prick didnt even leave a note. I was sitting in one of my other vehicles when some turn pulled up next to me and slamed his door into mine. When i stepped out of the vehicle He returned to lock his door. Talk about a dent he creased my door I told him and he just walked away so I tested my steel toe boots on his door guess what those steel toes do work. LOL

While not necessarily a parking lot story - I was 'parked' in stop and go traffic - this sweet young 16 y.o. girl with a drivers license for less than a week tries to merge in in front of me. Pulls right in like she owns the road.... The limb riser tab on the Safari Gard bumper gutted that car like a trout, quite literally from stem to stern...clean as you could with a *very* big can opener. I had to scrub some paint off the tab....

Negative reinforcement is a powerful learning tool.

Haha, similar thing for me. A brand new Honda Civic still with the dealer paper plate was in the middle exit lane (intended for people going straight across the road) of a parking lot and I was in the right turn lane. Well she decided she was going to turn right instead of going straight since traffic kept coming. She never looked right and turned into me, rubbing the entire length of her right side from headlight to brakelight along the corner of my bumper. She got out and had the nerve to say "Why'd you hit me?"

I could smell the alcohol on her breath and said, "We better call the police." I backed up my truck so she could get her Honda out of the street and never saw her again.

I reported it to the cops who were actually parked in the lot behind a building and never heard anything from it.

I don't have any parking lot stories, aside from the time someone keyed my Disco, but you don't want to hear how that turned out.

There was one night when a fellow decided to tailgate me down a one lane road that was blasted into a mountain. He was right on my bumper, no matter how fast I went. I waited until a good spot to pull over, and stopped on the side, leaving him enough room to pass me.

He was driving a riced out golf (or bratwursted out golf, whatever), and pulled up right behind me and stopped. I waited, as I now thought he was going to tell me something important. Perhaps something was dangerously wrong with my Disco, and I was unaware, right? So I waited politely in drive, with my foot on the brake, my left hand on the door handle, and my right on a big metal police baton. You can never be too careful, right? I'm all about taking it easy, and it's easy to take it easy if one is set to move out simply by lifting his foot, and is in posession of a large metal stick.

He rammed me. Not a love tap, mind you, unless you are a rhinocerous. His little car buried itself diagonally under my hitch reciever. At this point, I did the only sensible thing I could think of, and backed my rear tire up over his hood for him. I am sure he appreciated the gesture, as I could see him through my rearview expressing his thanks quite vocally. Seeing that my good deed was done, I left, but only after using my tire to polish his hood as best I could. Shame about the paint, though.

To this day I don't know what came over that guy, but I am sure he left a better person frome the experience.

Cheers,

Kennith

Dee... Why hadn't you told this story earlier? Awesome...

The very last time I've been to Jiffy Lube (about 5 years ago), the dude backed my Disco straight into an Accord behind. Crumpled hood, broken grille, busted headlight.... Could have possibly damaged my hitch receiver, if not for a 3/4" shackle dangling from it.

Opps :( .... It still cracks me up... Too funny.... I wish I could have been around to see his face a genuine Kodak moment....:rofl: I guess if SDPD rolled up I would have had to attend a 1000 hours of anger management sessions....

I dig the door ding stories, and I hate door dings more than Robertson hates the devil, but for those of you posting up with your over-the-top confrontations, I just want to point out that Florida has enacted its "Stand Your Ground-Deadly Force" law. You might want to consider that before you run around your car with your temper in full effect over a little scratch.:patriot:

I have scratched every body panel on my truck from the trail. Quit crying about a door ding, get out there and wheel the damn thing.

So which hides the scratches better?
Xterra Yellow
CT Sandglow
White

Does a hoodblackout attract or repell said door dingers?
Painted or ViggDesign

Not really a LR story, but amusing just the same:

I was at lunch with a cop friend of mine. He had parked his un-marked car in the parking lot behind the restaurant.

When we were returning to the car we walked around the corner to see some morn in the process of kicking out the taillights on the un-marked police car.

Needless to say, he was arrested on the spot. The beginning of a very bad afternoon for him.

Cheers

here you go take a look at this as an answer

Anger Management
When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to
take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take
it out on someone you don't know.
I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I'd forgotten
to make. I found the number and dialed it.
A man answered, saying "Hello."
I politely said, "This is Chris. Could I please speak with Robin Carter?
Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that
anyone could be so rude.
I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. I had
transposed the last two digits of her phone number. After hanging up
with
her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again. When the same guy
answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an asshole!" and hung up I
wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it
in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or
had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an asshole!"
It always cheered me up.
When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'asshole'
calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, "Hi,
this is John Smith from the telephone company. I'm calling to see if
you're
familiar with our Caller ID Program?" He yelled "NO!" and slammed down
the phone.
I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!"
One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking
spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had
patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I'd been waiting
for that spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in
his car window, so I wrote down his number.
A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole (I
had his number on speed dial), I thought that I'd better call the BMW
asshole, too.
I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?"
"Yes, It is."
"Can you tell me where I can see it?"
"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house, and
the car's parked right out in front."
"What's your name?" I asked.
"My name is Don Hansen," he said.
"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"
"I'm home every evening after five."
"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?"
Yes?"
"Don, you're an asshole." Then I hung up, and added his number to
my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to
call.
Then I came up with an idea. I called Asshole #1.
"Hello."
"You're an asshole!" (But I didn't hang up.)
"Are you still there?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said
"Stop calling me," he screamed.
"Make me," I said.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Don Hansen"
"Yeah? Where do you live?"
"Asshole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house, with
my black Beamer parked in front."
He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better
start saying your prayers."
I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole."
Then I called Asshole #2. "Hello?" he said.
"Hello, asshole," I said.
He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..."
"You'll what?" I said.
I'll kick your ass," he exclaimed.
I answered, "Well, asshole, here's your chance. I'm coming over
right now."
Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I
lived at 1802 West 34th Street, and that I was on my way over there to
kill my gay lover.
Then I called Channel 13 News about the gang war going down on
West 34th Street.
I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th street.
There I saw two assholes beating the crap out of each other in
front of six squad cars, a police helicopter and a news crew.
NOW I feel much better.
You know, this anger management stuff really works!!!!!

This is off-topic a bit and not funny, but your post made me think of this.

This weekend I dropped off the wife at the grocery store to shop, and I pulled into a spot in the parking lot toward the back. Turns out I parked facing (and one space to the left of) two apparent meth heads in their twenties in a fucked-up, faded-out, white trash van with their passenger door wide open into the parking space next to them. These guys really looked out of place in this part of the suburbs.

I sat there in the truck reading a book. My presence almost directly in front of them really put them on edge. One guy got out and got in the back of the van and rummaged around, then went inside the store for a while. A while after he got back to the van, then after another length of time, they both went inside the store. I then went inside myself to walk my wife back out to the truck, since I'd been creeped out a bit.

I had assumed that maybe they were just stock workers waiting for their shift to start. However, when we came back out, they were both back sitting in the van. Now the odds that these meatheads were up to no good just went way up. We loaded the groceries in the back (at which time my cargo door popped that black limiter bracket off the stub, and I had to fetch the washer and C-clip to fix later, but I digress), and I had her walk with me to return the cart. Her side of the truck was in front of their van, so I walked her to the door, opened it for her, then closed it. After I got in the truck, the guys in the van decided to split and drive past off past us with a smirk on their faces.

So whether this was a potentially dangerous situation or not, who knows. But what I do know is we were prepared. We acted smart and left unscathed. Additionally, when my wife got back in the truck her hand went to our Ruger SuperRedhawk Alaskan in the center console loaded with 6 shots of 45 Colt CorBon DPX. My hand had been in my jean pocket ready to pull out a Kahr PM40 loaded with 6 rounds of .40cal Ranger SXT.

Stay cool in the parking lots, but stay safe, too.

:D

The Ruger wheelgun is always in the center console and the Kahr stays in the pocket. The wife's Smith 38 Special stays in her glovebox. We both have CHLs. The guns are just with us all the time, and we don't give them a second thought. *shrug*

I envy you. We can't even keep hunting rifles around let alone a hand gun here in DC. Sucks to, since we have a lot of stuff that needs to be shot.
