Having a horrible 2009, can't wait for 2010...
 

First, I got my car stolen. Yes, it's a P-car.
Then I got myself into a situation yesterday that has my family worrying. I was sitting in my car waiting for my wife when a black Lincoln drove up and parked next to me. The passenger got out fine, but when he opened the back door to put some stuff in the car, he opened the door too wide and ding my car (actually a minivan). I am very anal for car dings. I got out of the car and told him "you just hit my car". I wasn't expecting to get anything for it, but just wanted to pass on the message of maybe he should be more careful in the future. Instead, the driver went ballistic on me and even threatened me of unpleasant consequences in two days (which is tomorrow). I took his lic plate # down as he did the same for me. Are we going back to the society of Al Calpone as the passenger made a comment of "you don't know who you're dealing with".
Is he able to gain any information from my CA lic plate?
What is this society coming to?
Why do we have people like this roaming our streets?

Probably a self important politician

if that is the worst thing that happened to you in 2009 count yourself lucky...

+1

+4........

No kidding.

+1,000

If that's the worst you have to worry about, STFU. There are people doing far worse than you.

LOL welcome to the friendlist board on the innurt00bz. Sorry to hear your Porsche got nabbed.

the warmth of this board, makes me feel all cozy and fuzzy inside...LOL!

if you are good with your insurance agent, he can give you some details based on the plates..just to see if you are dealing with a Soprano.

Welcome to the age of entitlement.

If he can be president, and she can be a secretary of state, and that can be speaker of the house, then surely I can be somebody (self)important too.





Caps intentionally left off because of who is in those previously respected offices.

2009 will live in infamy in our family.

So far:

My wonderful mother in law got cancer.
I have lost my job.
My awesome dog passed away. (RIP General Bailey)
Our swimming pool developed a serious leak.
Our refrigerator died.
Our sprinklers system died.
We had a pipe break under our pool deck.
Our AC air handler literally exploded (this was yesterday, so I am sitting in a very warm house right now.)
My new sister in law made up a LUDICROUS lie and now my brother has asked me to never contact him again.
My Labrador tore her CCL (like our ACL) and needed surgery.
The brains to our pool system shorted out.

That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Every time something happens, we just chalk it up to 2009....

My wife and I are celebrating HUGE when 2010 starts!

Shenanigans. A true criminal has bigger fish to fry than the guy who called him out on a door ding. And if they were going to do something, it would have been right then and there.

I wish I had a swimming pool.

id buy a bulletproof vest, move to another state, join the witness protection program, remote start my vehicle everytime you go near it, never open a letter/package without a bomb sniffing dog around, and serious contemplate becoming a monk somewheres in TIBET!

TIBET is kinda nice this time of year..

you deserve a swimming pool too.

Yeah, once you get that, all you will want is a pool guy to keep it clean so you don't have to... aren't we ever satisfied?

+100 2009 sux azz

After the other guy went ballistic did you go ballistic back at him?

Gogar, you could probably get one built pretty cheap right now.

I can tell you this, Newyears is going to be one hell of a party. I cant wait to leave 2009 behind

+ 2000

Wow, I've had a really good year so far.

Thanks to all of you for making me feel weird.

So you are hosting the newyears party??? :)

A door ding on a Minivan, get serious.

Yeah, sounds like your 2009 is overall fine, sorry about the car theft though.

My 2009 has been okay so far as well. Some iffy stuff but knowing what other folks have experienced, I am very fortunate. Knock on wood.

I hope that everyone who is having a hard time this year has a much, much better 2010.

So, has Guido, the killer pimp showed up yet?

I'm sorry about your stolen 911, that sucks, but to get a ding in you minivan and you're upset. Wait until something REALLY bad happens in you short life, THEN get back to us.

In all my experience in dealing with irrational people as well as watching "educational" programs like The Sopranos, I Never remember anyone telling someone, to paraphrase, "In two days time you're gonna get whacked!" And as far as the passenger saying you didn't know who you were dealing with, maybe he meant you didn't know that the guy that dented your mini van was histerically ghey florist with a penchant for denting car doors. ?

I spilled food on my shirt...

Why would any think that 2010 is going to be better? :-\

Less food spilling :confused:


KT

Damn right.

2009 has been a really good year. I can't wait for 2010!

Coffee - thru - nose

Let's all endeavor to make 2010 great. Spill less food, people!!! :D
