I don’t think cops care about bash and dashes honestly. Hell someone hit a little old lady in her c car causing her to run into my husband’s car. The driver drove off immediately. My husband and the old lady got the liscense plate number. The cops came and took their statements and they gave them the liscense plate number.

I called the police several times to ask if anything was done to the hit and runner and nothing was ever done to him as far as we know. I assume if charges were brought we would get some notice or my husband would have to go to court to be a witness. Nothing happened. We never got compensation for it. It was just a small bump so it did not do much damage so we did not file a claim. The old lady’s car was much worse.

So I tend to lose faith in justice when it comes to automobile accidents of any kind. In my state we have a no fault law and often times even if it a blatantly someone else’s fault the cops just no fault it so they don’t have to gather evidence or do police work and then you get stuck with the bills even if it was not your fault.

Naw, lots of guys keep their brains in their underwear, though most keep them in the back…

Clumber’s story instantly reminded me of the scene in The Big Lebowski when Walter smashes the wrong car. classic

@Ranadin

Is it possible to do a background check on the guy who hit your wife’s car? Might be worth the $10 or $20 if you can track him down and report him to the police.

Baqhahaha…. another quick memory just hit me, I had to get her served with a summons and my bf at the time (yes, B… I was young and stupid, what can I say… later he turned out to be gay as well, we were a great couple! lol) eagerly volunteered to do it. All on his own, he dressed up in a white tux with a name patch on it, a delivery type white cap, got a big ivory-coored flower box wrapped in silky ribbons, knocked on her door, and handed her the summons in a huge pink envelope attached to the box that contained about 15 photos of the damages as well as another copy of the 3 estimates for repairs.

Big surprise he ended up gay, huh… lol Anyway, I got to watch from a good distance away with binocs and I am so happy I got to remember that. It was freaking AWESOME. Much better than calling the Sheriff to do it, which had been my idea…. today’s PAN rocks.

@ PG – when you get that shirt made, please put me down for a couple. I like black with white lettering best, but anything other than white/red/yellow and I’ll get funds spirited off to you asap.

@ Rattus, my poor brain is sort of vomiting up more memories of the event… LOL…. I think I had almost successfully suppressed the memories until today’s PAN! For instance, while trying to get her car unblocked when the “I’m the prosecutor” didn’t work, she went on and on about how wealthy she was and would go back and forth between threatening to ruin us all and offering to buy us off.

Further, I am going to get biz cards made up that claim I am a Guanopsychologist. ©Rattus, ‘natch

Thank you, Clumber, for the story. Actually, guanopsychosis does make the whole thing sensical insofar as one can make sense of the actions of the guanopsychotic.

@ Clumber,
I have nothing interesting to add, just had to say,
WOW!

oh, and I want a t-shirt that says,
I am boundlessly curious and I need to know everything.

If a gigglebrax misplacement meant for mine, yes complete stranger, no explanation.

Maybe he thought if he hit it hard enough it would knock all that crap off? Benevolent citizen!

Rattus et al – I never got any explanation of why. It only got weirder from there, but it felt like I was treading close to tl;dr already… Apparently, and I didn’t witness this part, while trying to park in her spot which had a pole and another person’s spot between where my car was and her parking place, she hit the pole and that made her angry. So angry that she decided to backup and ram my car. The 3 hits I witnessed (like a slack-jawed yokel I can assure you!) were hard enough to lift my car’s rear wheels into the air. The rear shocks were damaged, it was that hard a hit. A co-worker called apt security and they came and blocked her car in while they called police. During that time she came back out and tried to claim that she was the county prosecutor and would have all of us charged and arrested if we didn’t unblock her car. She wasn’t, of course. She knew someone who worked in the prosecutor’s office… She tried the same story on the responding cops, and at that point she found herself handcuffed and bent over the Crown Vic’s hood being searched intimately by the cop.

And no, she wasn’t drunk at all. Or under any apparent foreign-substance influence. They checked for that, even getting a warrant for a blood draw. They couldn’t understand WTF either, I guess.

At the court hearing that I’d had to request since she was refusing to pay any damages, she brought more photos of my car than I had. Yes – she brought her own evidence of the damage she caused. She didn’t deny any of the damage as being hers. She tried to point out that a dent in my bumper wasn’t from her, but I had already specified that in my complaint.

She was so batshit strange that the several times a check was even a day late from her, I immediately contacted the court (which the judge had strongly advised me to do, he was a very prescient gentleman) which immediately put out a warrant for her arrest, which would result in my getting the next couple on time…

I had never come into contact with her prior to the event. We normally didn’t even park in that particular reserved area b/c it was a bit further than we were comfortable with from a couple clients that had a tendency to get hurt. AFAIK no other staff or client had any contact with her beforehand either. Sorry, Rattus, I wish I had some ability to make it sensical. I’d love to have any grip at all on WTF. Some snowflakes are too special for us wormscum to understand, i suppose.

He could have just scraped a “wash me” into the leftover birthday writing.

Hitting her car to give him the excuse to leave a “wash me” note taped to it seems excessive.
