trythisonemv Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Today i wnt to my favorite fly shop plateau. They were awesome as usual. Upon leaving a big truck pulled up next to my wifes cadillac cts. I got in the drivers side as she doesnt like driving in springfield, after closing my door i hear an ungodly thump. My wife opens her door an gets Out. The man in the truck had just doored her car really hard. I got out to make sure she was ok and the man began by saying" what"? I said you hit her caR with your door. He replied "its a parking lot." Then proceed to go back to nearly hitting it again to which i responded that he needed to be careful. He said his truck was new and he would never own that car. I simply stated that he should be more careful that others actually value there things and take care of them. He then said you should park better. He was on the line we were within ours. I just said please be more careful and we left. My wife was scared of the guy and how rude and unappolagetic he was. The guys is lucky he didt encounter someone less level headed. Very rude. His license read ... g'etr l8tr.. red ext cab ford with tons of door dings and scratches so watch that you dont park near that guy. BilletHead 1
BilletHead Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Sorry to here this. They walk among us and you cant' fix stupid. I have been known to park so far out away from these types and just walk a bit farther.

trythisonemv Posted August 19, 2016 Author Posted August 19, 2016 Fin and feather. Even his friend seemed shocked and walked away. And it was a brownish red truck four door.
Mitch f Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 People amaze me....that response, "it's a parking lot" wouldn't have set too well with me Grumpy53 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
ColdWaterFshr Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 You handled yourself incredibly well under those circumstances. You should have called the cops if your car was damaged. Assholes don't deserve a pass. These days it seems like more and more they don't care. Cell phone camera, snap some photos, pull away a few yards, call the cops and wait for them arrive and confront the dirtbag. Easier said than done in hindsight. I'm afraid I would be in jail if given your situation. Grumpy53, Gavin and Mitch f 3
joeD Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Thankfully you two persevered and made it through this ordeal.
Flysmallie Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 People in Springfield are IGNORANT. I park as far away as possible most of the time. But that guy would have got an ear full and some return damage. Doesnt suprise me that he's a fin and feather customer.
