So when I came back out to my car after lunch, some douchebag driving a shiny new BMW SUV had parked at an angle in the spot next to mine and left about 7 inches between my car and his at my driver's side door. Deciding I really didn't want to crawl through the passenger side I opened my door and squeezed my way in. I didn't throw the door open, nor was I extra gentle either. So I left a little ding in the side of his door. Does that make me an asshole?
NO!

I am currently picturing Jaymc as the internet version Jake Gyllenhal's character in Zodiac.
^^^ Definitely identified with this.

It didn't occur to me until just now that they could be high school buddies. There's a P3t3r B3rg that lives in the same Florida town that Fred used to live in.

Except wait, they're all CPAs.
i am slow today. i am learning how to be a 'quant' at an investment firm in another tab.
xpost-- maybe they made a CPA blood pact when they were growing up?
― colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:16 (sixteen years ago) link
piece of snake car
lol @ CPA blood pact :)
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:16 (sixteen years ago) link
fuck the douchenozzle SUV driver. doesn't seem like a big deal that you left a ding, though of course the BMW guy will think differently.
xp OTM about jaymc :)

I have to go soon to mentor a dude for a few hours, but I'll check back later for updates on my new ski bros.

1. jenny, i'm on a constant search for 'cute comfortable' shoes, but also think i may try to learn to wear slightly less comfy shoes so i can wear things i love but currently only can use as sculpture.
I have accepted my lot in life and pretty much just wear Dansko clogs, but I'm old and ornery.
2. Sorry Evan. I am all for other people engaging in winter sports, though!
3. Does that make me an asshole?
A little bit?
4. CPA blood pact = LOL
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:18 (sixteen years ago) link
This could be Peter, although he's not a CPA and didn't go to school with Howard. (Which might then reinforce my hypothesis that they went to high school together instead.) He's a business broker.

Oh wait, that is almost assuredly Peter:

Right. So the general consensus is that this douchebag was in the right to park so I couldn't get in my car. Fuck rich people.

No one said that jvc

Another nice Jewish boy.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:24 (sixteen years ago) link
That's a nice blur around the edges of that photo.
Actually, Jon, the consensus seems to be that you were in the right to ding his car. I was the only one who suggested that it would have been less assholeish to, if possible, not put a dent in the rich jerks door.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:25 (sixteen years ago) link
It was defnitely a ding, I don't think it could be classified as a "dent". Hell, I didn't look close, it could have been something you could have rubbed away.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay.

Plane on Sex?
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link
i probably would have left a note expressing remorse for dinging the door, but also letting the guy know that he's a dick and that, you know, wasn't the whole point of parking diagonally to REDUCE the chance of getting dinged?? Now look where it got you, asshole! Park like a normal guy!
― river wolf, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, next time I'll just sit patiently and wait from him to come out and move his car. Christ. I can't believe the shit I'm getting from fiancee for this.

jvc pretty succinctly describes the parking anarchy (or "parkarchy" as I like to call it) that invades the teeny tiny little lot we get here. It is also the commuter student's lot and the parking area for a number of U shuttle buses. So it gets pretty crowded. People are constantly taking up 1.5 spots and subjecting each other to door dings. This is why, when I do end up driving to work, I always park the part of my car where the previous owner was sideswiped up against where the driver of the assholishly-parked car will be opening their door. Plus my car is tiny so I can sneak into most of the smallest spots around. I kind of love it because I don't care about my car's appearance at all as long as parts aren't hanging off.

maybe we should all plan a ski trip and book the condo next to those dudes. but can we do that using their credit cards?
― colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:32 (sixteen years ago) link
I'd like to see Howard consolidate that debt.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:34 (sixteen years ago) link
If I don't have any more e-mails from them by 4:30 I'm going to ask where my ticket is and who I'm bunking with.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:34 (sixteen years ago) link
xxpost ugh, no. I don't want to end up mistaken for pussy.

so that's why people become accountants, eh? this is the payoff?

I want to know who they're confusing you for.
jordan10 AT gmail runs an Italian Star Wars fan club.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link
That might make you a little bit of an asshole, but I've done it too, so we're at least in a class together. Not that that should make you feel better.
― Jesse, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Who doesn't run an Italian Star Wars fan culb?

wait did you guys not know what POS car meant??? or is this just a question I shouldn't bother asking
― river wolf, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I'd never heard that, but I figured it out pretty quickly. I only said "Plane on Sex" to call back to the posts earlier about what "SOP" meant.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:39 (sixteen years ago) link
oh right, i missed that
― river wolf, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I hate people who double park. HATE.
Something good: I convinced my boss to donate a ton of old computers thanks to a link provided by.. colette I think?
Something weird: My coworker coming up to my desk, bouncing her boobs up and down with her hands, asking if I'd noticed how huge they are today.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link
It's a point of sale car! har har i've worked in retail.
Yeah, I knew what Dan meant by POS car because I have one.
My stomach is a bottomless pit today. Maybe I should bounce it in front of Sarah's desk.

You should have said, "Actually I was thinking you looked a little flatter than usual".

"OMG! You have the BEST BOOBS! I STARE AT THEM ALL THE TIME! Of COURSE I noticed!"
Sunday after Cozycornering, Nick and I were walking back to the car, and when I first saw it, I thought it wasn't our car. It's in such bad shape. :-( It IS 12 years old, and we have lugged a ton of crap in it over the years...
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link
You know, she totally could be preggers. She went off the pill a couple months ago.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Any car that lasts 12 years in this day and age is a good fucking car.
