The next time you decide to pilot your automobile like Stevie Wonder, careening down the 405 and smashing into the back of someone's car who is sitting at a standstill in traffic backed up off an exit ramp, causing this sort of damage...
...to not only the car you hit, but the car that that car is knocked into - and inflicting someone with a bit of injury, psychological trauma, and an all around shitty day - the least you could do is get out of your car to see if everyone is okay.
I mean, I understand you're not supposed to admit fault in an accident (even though a retarded baby monkey could plainly see it was your fault). But it's just common courtesy to step outside, check on the well-being of your common human being who you just plowed your SUV into, and maybe take it upon yourself to call the police, instead of letting one of the people you gave whiplash to handle it for you.
That's all. Just a suggestion. Have fun with that insurance rate hike, which will no doubt be augmented by my choosing the most expensive rental car Enterprise had.

ReplyDeletesimilar but less destructive kvetch opp the other day... an SUV rolls by at a stop light and clips my side mirror, resulting in just the mirror popping out and dangling by the heater electrical wire. the guy rolls down his window and looks back, observes the obvious damage he has caused, looks up at me gives me a propositional thumbs up that basically says "hey, it's all good right?" umm, i don't know dude, does it look ok? doesn't this call for a "mea culpa wave" or an "i suck shrug" followed by a gesture that says "hey let's pull over and i will take responsibility for your saggy mirror"? the fuckin balls on this guy!! never in my life have i wished for costly car repair. fortunately for thumbs up guy, the mirror snaps back into place. fuck him for assuming correctly.
