Ordinary people, I F'ing hate them

So there is this POS car at the front of the turn lane, I am car #3, #2 is a pickup, light turns green, nobody goes. Turns out the emergency flashers are dimly blinking on the apparently abandoned car. We get around it, eventually, and I go to the bank on the corner.

Go over to the car, which is locked, with another row of people stuck behind it because the flashers are tough to see. Passenger side window is down, so I open the car and put the hood up, so there is a bit less of a hazard, as it is now apparent the car is disabled. Walking back to my car, a large woman is yapping at me to not touch her car, she tried to call me back as I was walking over to her car, but I did not hear her. All the while, she is on her cell phone.

She is going off on me for touching her car, I point out that it is illegal to just abandon a car in traffic like that, she says it quit, and I put the flashers on. I reply that is not easily seen, if the hood is up, people will not get stuck behind it, creating a greater hazard. She, still irate I got grease from her car on my hand, starts yapping about calling the cops because I messed with her car, which I encourage, because I know they are not going to have much use for somebody who is a waste of skin. She then starts telling me to F off, get the F out of here, F'ing four eyes, shut up, ad infinitum.

I point out that since I put her hood up, nobody has gotten behind her car again, she keeps ranting, I am a bit surprised. "Somebody stops and helps you, and you act like this. You actively want to remain an ignorant F, no wonder you are a fat piece of crap"

Then I went home and called the cops on her dumb ass. Wonder how much the tow and ticket will be, hopefully a lot.

Wow.

Dude, you wear glasses?

It was wrong to go into her car without permission. Would you want someone going into your 911 and popping your hood?

Seems like a good way to get shot or provoke a fight.

The two of you should have pushed it into the parking lot, four eyes.

Oh wait, she probably would have had a heart attack, and then as a doctor you would have to render aid, then she'd sue you . . . . . You did well getting out of that one.

Just wondering, when you repo someones car, do you just start throwing their personal nick-nacks out the window as you drive it away or just not touch any of it ...ya know, to avoid offending?

masraum · 08-12-2009, 07:31 PM

Yeah, screwing with someone else's car like that seems like asking for trouble. Granted, you did help/improve things and she is/was a dumba55. Still...

Well, it's getting REPOd. It's not their car anymore.

The General Public are senseless idiots, in my experience. I often wonder how they make it past their 20s without winning a Darwin award.

I don't touch anything.

I'm not saying the chick wasn't an idiot, but going in someones car and popping and raising their hood is not a good idea in this city.

Yeah, not to flame you, but I think snipey, and the boys are right. I am not a fighter, or a tough guy, but If I was broke down, and calling for help, and saw some dude reaching in my ride, it would provoke an instant response .

stealthn · 08-12-2009, 07:49 PM

Did you say the last line or just think it? I would have offered to help her push it off the road, if she still *****ed at me I would have spit in her face (I don't hit women)..

Good job Torba. The world needs more of you, people to take charge and get things done.....Let her whine and walk away.......

I came across a SUV on it's side yesterday, in the middle of the road near my house. The 17 year-old female driver was looking for her cell phone, over corrected and rolled. I get there, she's out, minor injuries but the SUV is still running with the rear wheels spinning.......I crawl in and shut it off........The driver, medic's and deputy all thank me....It wasn't Torba that caused this issue, is was the POS breathing hunk of BAD PARENTING!!!!!!

Yeah, that's why I asked about the their personal nick-nacks (in the car - but not (the Bank's) car)

I leave all that stuff in the car until the customer comes to pick vehicle up(many do pay to reclaim). If no one comes it gets boxed and stored. After 30 days, by law it's mine. But i give the crap back up to 60 days. I don't want junk, and almost everything you find is junk.

Repoe'd a beemer one time with a rather large duffle bag of blow in it. I gave it to the cops at the local district. No idea what they did with it. They probably sold it. Customer wisely never made any attempt to retrieve the vehicle.

Oh gotcha. Oh wait, I meant to say "PAWN SHOP!!!!!!!"

I had a car alarm go off in the middle of the night in front of my motel room once. After 15 minutes of it yelping and beeping, I went out, reached under the bumper and yanked the home installed wires off of the horns. The other motel residents who were standing outside their doors applauded me. The owner never showed up. Yeah it could have been a problem, but honestly the alarm going for 15 minutes at 2 AM the guy was probably drunk and passed out.

If you really cared about your fellow man, you woulda pushed it off the road into the nearest parking lot.
