Did you say, "Hey dude, I apologize for damaging your Riyadh"?

But yeah, nice story. The guy was pretty forgiving.

Good to hear...

And then did you say, "I wanna Mecca this right. Let me pay for the damage."?

Nope. I told him to beware of a crotchety old man on his birthday who, if eating alone, it would be in his best interest to face the other direction.

Most Saudis are pretty good people, 'cept for them terrorist ones.

He probably had a former employee tucked in the trunk for stealing one too many slurpees.

That is bad ass...... Thanks for posting the story. Always good to know that there are still plenty of good people around.

True. The locals are proud of their patch of desert.

I agree. I'll save that few hundred bucks and put it toward my next engine repair/maintenance.

I backed into a car moons ago. I left my name, number, insurance agent etc, and a note of what happened etc.

Never heard a call back. It was a tiny bump; I didn't see any damage but still

Years ago I had some kid come knocking on my door, I answered and I could tell right away he was nervous about something. So I asked him what's up, and he told me he had hit my van that I had parked in the street. So I went out with him to look at it, right away saw that the passenger side mirror on his car was hanging by the cable so I assumed mine would be gone since they were cargo van mirrors that stuck out farther.

When I got to the other side of my van I was surprised to not only see the mirror still attached and fully intact, it wasn't even slightly out of place. There was a black scuff on the door with a slight crease, but I laughed and told him it was his lucky day, just be more careful in the future. The kid seemed genuinely uncomfortable with the fact that I told him not to worry about it, but I sure as hell wasn't going to stick him with a bill for bodywork and paint on a 10+ yr old work van. And once I buffed out the black mark you could hardly see the crease. Still to this day don't understand how he was close enough to destroy his own mirror, but not even touch mine.


Yes, damn those people who spend $30-40k or even more on a car and expect it to look good! We should all just drive beaters!

You must drive piece of shit vehicles. If I have spent $40,000 to $50,000 on a vehicle and you dent/scratch it, you can bet your ass I'm getting it fixed and your insurance is going to pay for it.

I used to spend a bunch of money on a vehicle and trade in every couple years to upgrade. Then I moved to Missouri. They hit me hard every year for personal property tax on vehicles so most of my stuff is old now to minimize my December obligation.

I once had a woman back her SUV into my car in a parking lot. She didn't have insurance, so she offered me fellatio instead of giving me money.

Disgusting subhuman being.
