There are still some good people left in this world
 

Long story short: I got in a hurry was backing up and didn't see one of my neighbors friends parked in the driveway and I clipped him. (me getting old and dumbassidity) Not much damage but marked his paint a little and crushed his plastic hubcap. Worst part about it was the dude was across the street in class while I was sitting there left to sweat it.

Anyway, I waited outside for him to get back, as I knew what my first reaction would be if I saw my car there like that, with insurance info in hand hoping I could afford to pay for it out of pocket rather than go through insurance.

About 30 minutes later a Saudi Arabian fellow come hopping along, stopped when he saw his car, and I ran out to him. His reaction "don't sweat it, the marks will buff right out and I was going to get some rims because I hated the hubcaps. I'm not mad, thank you for waiting to tell me."

I offered repeatedly to let me replace the damaged hub cap and repeatedly he refused. I didn't scratch the paint as I backed into him with my bad ass rear end of plastic but some paint did transfer.

Point is quite a few people would so take advantage of this but this dude didn't even want to hear about me trying to make it even.

Bet he has tons of oil money.

Probably so. He's friends with my neighbor and my neighbor comes from big oil money. Regardless, he could have been a prick. In retrospect, I probably would have been.

Lesson learned.

Trying to live up to your new username I guess...?

Why didn't he want the authorities involved??? CALL HOMELAND SECURTY!

My point in posting the fact that he was Saudi Arabian is to try to dispel the evil stereotypes. Perhaps I shouldn't have because it didn't work.

I've been in a couple fender benders like this. As long as the car still runs life goes on. Never understood the people that will spend hundreds of dollars fixing a chipped paint job or dents that have no affect on the car running

Were you still drunk from last night?

If you ding/dent/chip my BMW you can bet your ass I'm getting it fixed. I didn't shell out that type of scratch to not have it look right.

LMAO

Story about a good deed. Nothing more nothing less. I was, and still am willing to compensate for any damage.

I'd ask you what you're talking about but I doubt you know, so I'll finish up my dialog with you in this thread with a simple your mother is a whore.

He probably has 5-6 cars. That's just his beater.

Like I said, I wouldn't doubt it. They are from Saudi Arabia and they certainly aren't in Pittsburg on scholarships.

I had something like this happen to me in the parking lot of a local pizza place about a month ago. While I was inside ordering, a young girl clipped my bumper on her way out. I wouldn't have known but she came in to find out who owned the vehicle and do the right thing. She kept offering her contact info and I declined as there was barely any noticeable change to my vehicle. She had been in front of me in line and I had overheard her talking about being in the hospital that day. Turns out she was coming home from the hospital. She had spent the day with her dying mother and she was a wreck. I ended up talking to her and making her feel better. Things are meant to be used and people are meant to be loved. Don't get it backwards.

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.

Indeed. She was actually rather attractive, too. I gave her information to my wife and let her deal with it.

So did she have sex with your wife?

I don't believe so. Their conversation was a bit strained. Got a cashier's check within a week though.

can you describe said SUV and the general area in which this occurred? I license plate would be great too.

It was a really good story up to this point.

You are correct. I would never spend that much money on a car. I'd buy the $10,000 car and use the other $30,000 for pussy and drugs.

Yes, it kind of petered out at that point.

pretty easy to figure out what part of town that dick bull lives in now.


/not stalkin' bro

This is why I have insurance, so I don't have to fellate the Dongers of the world.

That's a really good concept for a commercial.

LMAO

the gift that keeps on giving.

I've seen the cableman. I know how it goes.

In just 15 minutes you could save yourself from the performance of oral compensation.

:D:D

Be honest cabletech. How's your karaoke?

I like the concept. Maybe I can sell it.

Shot pans out from a slightly dented fender in a manly car, like a Jeep of some sort, past a chick car that obviously backed into it. Perhaps a Miata.

As the camera pans out, an attractive woman's face enters the screen in a very tight closeup.

Woman: I thought I'd be okay without insurance.

Woman leans forward so that only the back half of her head shows. Her head bobs a few times. She leans back again.


Woman: But then I backed into a guy's car in the parking lot.

Woman leans forward so that only the back half of her head shows. Her head bobs a few times. She leans back again.


We negotiated a way to avoid me having to pay, but it's not fun.

Woman leans forward so that only the back half of her head shows. Her head bobs a few times. She leans back again and wipes her mouth, looking kind of disgusted.


Narrator: Car insurance. It's not just for financial protection. It's also for protection against having to provide oral sex in a drug store parking lot.

LMAO

Pics?

Amen! +1

I work very hard to have a nice vehicle and I want to keep it that way.

When I was in high school, I had a friend over who was parked in the street and my neighbor backed into him. She came over, bitched about how he should be more careful where he parks, and when they eventually settled on a cash amount, she insisted that he use the money to fix his car and not anyway else.

Total ****. Terrible people in this world

Allah Akbar

That's the moment when I would have called my insurance company.

I wouldn't spend 40-50 grand on a car if I was a millionaire. That's an ungodly waste of money.

I don't get the stereotype. Are there a bunch of Saudi Arabians who are heirs to the Crisco franchise?

i've been known to. but it's usually just to alan jackson. and i haven't for about 8 years. and my voice has changed (finally hit puberty last year).

let's face it, i'm probably turrrrible. ;)

I doubt it. All you cableguys can rock the jukebox. :)

Yep. Lamar Hunt drove a Ford Fiesta. He thought spending money on cars was a huge waste of money, a sentiment many millionaires agree on.

The difference between the middle class and the upper class, car payments. Don't have them.

Cars are expensive enough with the maintenance, etc. already.

Didn't want to attract attention because he hasn't been activated yet...

A ford fiesta? Really?

You are a knucklehead. Good thing his car bomb didn't go off when you hit him. If I was you, I would come out of the closet and admit you are gay. Just be sure to take your headphones off first before you jaywalk across the street if any cops from Austin are around.

Eat AIDS pussy fart.

I agree.. But diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

Crap I'm not sure I'd spend that on a house.

I'm what one would refer to as cheap.

Yeah, I hate the term because it has such a negative connotation, but I've definitely been called cheap in my day.

I think it just boils down to what's important to you. I don't really give two shits about how my car looks, how fast it can goes, or how many superfluous features the designer was able to cram into it. All cars do the same shit- get you from point A to point B. I'd prefer mine do it as reliably and economically as possible as opposed to as sexy and quickly.

Exactly. The acquisition of high priced toys are not a real priority to me.

Lighten up Francis. Don't you even read the other threads? Damn, no sense of humor.

Oh it was totally tic. I heard someone call another a pussy fart today and thought that it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard. I stole it. :)

10-4. I'm going to put my headphones on now and listen to some Ted Nugent.

Is this your thing? Making weird, somewhat joke-like posts and telling them to "Lighten up Francis"? This is at least the second time I've seen this play out. Just curious. Would be a pretty funny posting persona.

No, I just ate the pizza. It wasn't anything special and I didn't make it myself.

Pay it forward. Be generous and forgiving next time someone does something that you would be owed for.

Good deeds are still heart-warming .....

Lighten . . . Oh never mind.
