      But why think of others or move your body unnecessarily when you could just buy a truck large enough to crush all other objects in the roadway?

        TIL, side mirrors, on newer cars, fold both directions. I often adjust them to assist incompetent drivers.

          I was once walking on a pedestrian path when a car parked in front of me. I told them that foot path were not, in fact, parking spots.

          The guy told me he was a nurse and he had a job and I could walk around his car and stop being a little bitch and then he left.

          So I smashed both wing mirrors of his Mercedes. Hope he made enough in this visit to cover the cost.

              Nah. This is the only language these cunts understand: consequences.

              If everyone smashed their shit every time they parked like idiots, they’d think twice before doing it.

      As a Dutch person. We don’t do this. We just look in the mirror.

      Question to the Americans. If you crash into that door is that a liability case? I would thing litigation wise the car driver is liable, am I right?

        Maybe relevant: As I was driving my car into a parking space, the guy in the next car over suddenly opened the driver’s side door. It happened so quickly no human could have stopped in time. At first his insurance tried to blame me, but my insurance pointed out that he was at fault because he opened his door into traffic. He paid for damages.

        Yeah but back passenger seats have no mirror. As a Dutch person I have taught my kids to do the reach.

        When I was in school, a guy in a car hit me riding my bike in a parking lot. He tried seeing me (my parents more correctly). He ended up paying for my first year of college. It wasn’t that much money, this was a long time ago.
