Embarrassing, Cars and Transportation: Stranger danger

Stranger danger

By 1 Giant Cupcake - 07/03/2009 00:09 - United States

Today, I drove to Bank of America to deposit money. Upon returning to my car I saw some new scratches on the front. I kicked and rubbed it to try and get rid of it. Then I notice someone in the car staring at me in bewilderment. I'd parked 2 spaces away. We have the same car. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I hit a parked car which was sticking out in the road and practically unavoidable. I left a note on the windshield saying, "You deserved to get hit - you park like an asshole." Later I realized that the paper I tore to write on was the back of my bank statement, name and address included. FML

Today, I met my new neighbors when they backed into my parked car. FML

Today, I parked and noticed a car that was identical to mine across from me. I thought it was an amusing coincidence until I came back to find both cars trashed. At least the vandal realized their mistake and left a note saying, "You deserve it for having the same car as that cheater, asshole!" FML

Today, while parking my car, I accidentally bumped into the car in front of me, making a small, barely noticeable dent. I felt bad, wrote an apology note, and stuck it on his windshield. An hour later, he replied by keying the entire right side of my car. FML

Coming through!

Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML

Today, I accidentally hit someone's car while in the supermarket car park. I left a note, went shopping, and when I came back my windows were shattered, my tires were slashed, and "FUCK YOU" was written on my windshield. FML

Get off my hood

Today, I was at work, a grocery store, and my manager came up to me while I was on my lunch break. He told me that a customer said someone in the parking lot had been loitering around the cars. I went outside to investigate and saw a drunk man pooping on the front of a car. That car was mine. FML

Throw the bill at the kid. Do it.

Today, I was really excited that I'd made it the two weeks I'd borrowed my mother-in-law's new car without putting a scratch on it. I got off work to discover a customer's child throwing rocks in the parking lot. They cracked the windshield. FML

Today, leaving the restaurant I work in, the car next to mine was very crookedly parked. I had a hard time backing out. It turned out the whole restaurant was watching me, and they all started to clap as I drove away. FML

Today, I drove to buy new sneakers to work out and lose weight. Coming out of the store, I saw someone had parked too close to me. I had to beg a stranger to back my car out for me, because no matter how I tried, I couldn't get into the driver's seat. FML

...If you saw scratches on the car, why the hell were you kicking it, anyway?

I've done exactly that before. I once even opened a car and sat in the driver's seat before realizing it wasn't my car.... Just the same model and color (and apparently same key, too). Oooops.

Two things: 1. I love the word "bewilderment" 2. I died laughing after reading this cause I would totally do something stupid like that. Not the kicking part though, that's just strange. But it made it all that more funny.

I'm going to assume that 'kick' was a typo and you meant 'lick'. Although I'm hoping you licked your fingers, then rubbed the scratches, as opposed to licking the car directly. If it were me, I'd just explain it. Although I can only imagine how awkward that situation would be.

hahahaha! The person in that car must have been soooo weirded out until you explained. Well, at least hopefully you explained. If not, this person will forever wonder why some stranger came up to their car, began to kick (..?) and rub it, then walk away.

OK I totally understand the car mix-up. I've tried to get into another person's car before thinking it was mine. But what kind of stupid bug do you get bitten by to kick or even rub your car to take out scratches? It takes professional polishing tools to do that. All you'd do is add even more scratches (yes, by rubbing alone you could introduce micro-marring, and would solve nothing).

How come so many people think this person deserved that? Two spaces away is a short distance, enough to forgive the mix up.

aw c'mon people, that's really embarrassing, which is why it's totally an FML! we all have our off days, even the smartest of us. this happened when I was with my friend once (her car), except it was night time outside of a movie theater and raining, hard. but at least there was no one in the other car!
