Default Lawn Mower vent

HOLY **** I am so pissed off. I am driving home from a job interview this morning and a guy is cutting the lawn on a ride mower. A rock flies off it and hits my car, I pull into the neighborhood across the street so inspect the damage, the passenger door is dinged and has a crease in it and it is scratched from part of the passenger door to the front quarter panel. I was ready to kill the guy when i realized he spoke no english so I then got the number of the manager and called his azz down. He had the nerve to tell me I was lying and that it was their already. That Stupid mother f'er, I was ready to kill him, Ahhh it has been a horrible morning. Sorry bout the vent but I had to get it out.

I feel your pain man....It could be worse though....you could be mowing your own yard and a rock nail the car. Once that happens all you can do is kill yourself

I had a window broken in my parents car by a damn weed eater sitting at a stop light. All they put the gaurds on for is to protect the user of the tool, they should make them wrap around the weed eater to help with this problem.

It would be worse if someone accidentally spilled a box full of stubby wood screws behing your car, and as you back out of your parking space, you destroy all four of your tires.

I would never do that to someone, nor do I condone it, but it's something that could happen.

Clumsy, they should be more careful.

But what if they were delivering newspapers and instead of a paper, they accidently threw a brick? And it hit your windshield?

I freak out when people have sprinklers that spray into the street, I can't imagine what I would do if someone had a rock hit my car. I would probably beat them to a pulp.

so what? they arent going to reimburse you for it? that sux, man. i guess it would be hard for you to prove it was caused by the lawn mower, and the manager knows it.

you should have called the cops or something.

sorry to hear about it.

You should contact the owner of the company doing the lawn service. I think the company is required to havce general liability insurance so it would cover the repair. If the lawn company doesn't cooperate, let the property owner know and see what they say.

Get the company to start doing your lawn. Then get some hot babe to entice the lawn mower dude for some bouncy bouncy. When he's away from the mower fill the tank with 5 lbs of sugar.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. hehe

Someone at either the dealership or discount tire backed my car into a curb. Both parties denied it. But Im pretty sure it was the dealer. I sure as hell know i didn't do it.

You make it sound like he did it on purpose? While it truly sucks what happened, its not like he could control rocks from hitting your car..life sucks sometimes, its true..deal..

I did call the cops but they would not come out and file a report since it was not a traffic accident.
