Now I have a fairly nice car. I like to keep it nice and clean, free from dents and scratches. I hate if I open the door too far and hit a wall, or if I scrape the curb. I can’t stand hitting the bottom of the car on a parking curb or in one of the craters in the centre of many LA intersections.
So… Why oh why would you just fling your door open and hit the car next to you? Not only do I not like damaging someone else’s property as I have explained above, I don’t like damaging mine.
What type of person has so little regard for their property and others that you would just hit anything and everything in your path? Are the people of LA so high on Xanax that they have no clue what they are hitting?
This was going to be a rant about people being stupid but since starting this blog I have now found out that not only are LA drivers stupid or too strung out to care about other peoples cars, they are crazy maniacs too.
I have had my car parked on the street for about two weeks in the same spot. This has angered someone so much that they have found it necessary to key the car. How mad do you have to be to carve two massive crosses into the hood of a car?
I could almost understand it if I had cheated on my wife, stole your girlfriend or raped your mother but just taking up space on a city street?!!!
If that wasn’t bad enough I’ve seen people ‘bumper’ parking. That is squeezing your car into a spot that is too small for your car. Plastic bumpers have a habit of bending in when you push hard enough and hey presto your car now fits.
In total I have well over $2000 dollars damage to the car not including the huge dent that a palm tree fern did to the car when it fell from 60 feet onto it. Will the city pay? Will they F*@k!
Anyway rant over. This one ended up a little more personal than I was hoping. Next time I will have the apartment hunting in LA rant for you as promised.
