Family, strangers, friends, don't care about your car, or your home, or your yard, or your tv, etc, etc. It's something that can be repaired/replaced.
Wow, so you get a ding and go ballistic and probably end up in jail with a lawsuit against all the damages you created. Because I'm sure the cops will listen to you over a ding compared to $10k worth of damages you created. Sure, that truly balances out. And if it was his 5 yr old daughter, you going to beat her face in too? You come across really like a nice guy that can stop and think before acting.  |
Yup, I'd go ballistic, and my family knows it....which is why none of them would be stupid enough to pull this shit on me.
The rest of what you said is just plain dumb. Who's going to punch a 5 yr old? No one. The asshat father who parked there is responsible for any and all damage him or his offspring caused. $10k in damage? Don't know where you get your windshields from, but I strongly suggest you start shopping around. Hell, even a full body strip and repaint isn't gonna cost that. Admit it, you're the dramatic one in your family, aren't ya?
As for being a nice guy, please read my sig, ty and have a nice day!
