Horseshit: Another car sob story
Well, as some people know, I just took a week's vacation to Japan to visit family, friends, and of course game stores. As I lived in Asia for so long w/o a car, I've grown a deep-seeded hate for automobiles and driving. For some stupid reason, I bought a brand new car when I moved here... thinking I'd have to drive to work a lot. Well, I don't. I average less than 200 miles a month. My car is less than a year old w/ 2300 miles on it. I got in today, to found out that someone hit it in the rear bumper. The kicker? It's parked in a garage (on the 3rd floor). It went from a 90 degree angle to an 80 or so. WTF? How'd they do this? They left a number though, so I'm sure it'll be fine... just a pain in the ass as I've gotta take it in and all that shit.

Even if you seal your car in a block of concrete, box it in with iron bars, paint it black and hide it in a dark room, in the centre of the moon - some idiot in a 4x4 will STILL find a way to reverse into it. Always. That or a shopping trolley scraping the side.
People are so careless with other peoples things, makes me hate.

Ugh
I've lost track of the number of times I've nearly been involved in a serious accident just trying to find a parking space in my university.
It's a four floor parking garage with more cars than parking spaces, plus they're all college students driving SUVs. I'm surprised I've only gotten into one accident in my commute to class.(Got my car totalled thanks in part to some clown that slammed their brakes right in front of me trying to cause a wreck. I managed to stop in time but it was a total "Oh Shit" moment when I saw the car behind me not paying attention and slamming my rear end.)
Got a new car at least but I've already managed to put 35,000 miles into it in less than a year. I need to learn magic and figure out how to teleport or something.

Well at least they left a number to call. Have you called the number yet?
Its possible that they left a friend, or enemies phone number...then again, maybe its their insurance company.
I suggest you call the number and try to get more info before you jump to conclusions. Maybe things won't be as bad as they seem.
After all, they didn't have to leave a number in the first place.

I finally got through to her today. I think it's a Korean gal based on her name, and her level of English.
I probably could've found out who it was unless they got their car fixed immediately, as the person was coming from one of the higher levles of the garage. My guess is that someone was coming up, she was coming down too fast, and swerved outside and whacked the shit out of my car. Since there was a witness, of course she had to leave the number. She was generally apologetic though.She's talked to her insurance and gave them my number. I got the claim number and all that shit.
You know, I was almost in another wreck about 2 months ago. Driving through a parking lot behind another car. He decides to stop and go into reverse without checking his mirrors. WTF?! I jammed on the horn for like 30 seconds... well after he realized the huge dipshit error he was supposed to make. I've said it before and I'll say it again -- nobody knows how to drive in Hawaii.
