woman reversed into van - laughed about it.
Discussion
Happened to me once whilst waiting for my wife outside a shop. Two young girls in a nice car reversed back to within about 2 feet of my front bumper and stopped, then again to within about a foot and stopped. Good thinks I, but no, suddenly reversing lights are back on and the driver comes back and nudged into my car. This is the cue for much giggling and getting out to basically laugh at what happened. I asked her to drive forward so I could see any damage, this she did then walked off???? Her and her mate still giggling and glancing back.
As it happened I couldn't see any damage, but a sorry and a bit less finding it funny would have helped.
But I once saw one car push another maybe 1/2 a car length to get a space in Barcelona. So I should be glad it was a nudge.

Don't want to appear as a saint but I hit a small hatchback when leaving a local pub car park. Went back inside the pub and asked the landlord to call out for the driver. No response. Then one of bar staff said that the car been there for days. Anyway I left. During the next couple of hours the guilt pangs increased so I went back and left a note on the windscreen. Another two days went by and then I got a call. It was the owner, a young lad of about 19. He could not believe that I had left my contact details. He was clearly hard up as he immediately took a cash settlement instead of me paying the bill for repairs. I made sure he proved he was the owner of the car by the way.

I don't get this kind of attitude. A friend of mine broke her phone dropping it and just had to get the latest iPhone to replace it. A few weeks later she pulled that out of her bag with the screen all cracked and said she'd dropped that one as well. Why do people have to have the latest brand new things but treat them carelessly and not give a s
t when they damage them? If image matters it's not a very good image if everything you have is battered to bits. It probably is the people who have it all paid for by someone else.
Exactly. I think it's just a defence because they're embarrased about what they've dine. I said to her I don't know why I bother and that next time I'll just get her an old Ford Escort. t when they damage them?

I had a similar situation a few months ago. A woman pulled into the work carpark and whilst pulling into a space scraped down the side of someone's Jaguar. Her colleague was waiting outside the office for her and they both joked about it before moving the car to the other side of the carpark. What they didn't know is that I saw the whole sorry episode.
I waited a few hours, keeping a close eye on the offenders car, before going and breaking the news to the owner of the Jaguar. To say he was angry was an understatement, but more so because she had opted not to own up to it.
A few weeks later I got a call from the guys insurance company who informed me the woman was denying anything happened. Needless to say my witness statement was pretty damning.

...it's the principle of her attitude.
She was completely oblivious to what she had done, not a care in the world.
And yet Muller seem to think that this attitude is a virtue and sells yoghurt. ...it's the principle of her attitude.

I saw a lwb Iveco van sideswipe in a Tesco carpark - they knew as drivers mate hung out the window to look. They drove off, so I left details with the lady owner of the van.
Few days later get a call at work about it - turns out to be from someone at the company who's van it was.
"How did you know it was our van?"
"Your company name is in foot high letters down the side . . . "
"oh. . . "
Lady got car repaired.

The attitude of people like this disgusts me. Someone drove into the side of my old car and wrecked the driver's door. I found it that way in the morning on one of the rare occasions I left it on the street- no note, nothing. Given the area it was probably one of the local tracksuit families with no insurance. Happened to my housemate's car too, ripping the indicator out of the front wing, but we caught the trying to drive off and made him hand his details over. He seemed disappointed he'd been seen rather than sorry.
