Then they proceeded to act like nothing happened so I got out and let them know what just happened (duh). Thankfully somehow it didn't dent, but I still got into them.

The response I got? "What? You do it all the time."

WHAT?!?! Now I was really ticked off... "NO, actually I NEVER DO IT! HAVE SOME RESPECT! etc etc...."

They gave me a dirty look and walked off. Seriously. I was beyond myself.

Only time I ever gave someone the key treatment. SCRREEEEEECCCHCHHH.

I shipped some of our historic Pace Cars to the Miami Auto Show a few years back -- had barriers around them......

.....I had to be careful as I represent the company -- but I made it clear that she'd damaged a very valuable car --

Her remark " ...chill, dude, it's only a car....."

Ugh, that's the one thing that really upsets me about people who don't have the same passion as we do for cars. When they say stuff like that, it's like they're thinking we're acting silly over nothing when they are the ones who are being downright ridiculous. You don't understand why, okay, but please, at least have some respect for our cars. "It's only a car," but it's not yours. Have some respect.

The nerve of people.
Lol, that's mildly acceptable. Even better if they put bills under the wipers like a stripper
