Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Have you ever been hit in the parking lot?

Was IT totalled?

Yep. Brand new truck. I hadn't had it more than three hours. Parked away from other cars in the grocery store parking lot. Came out and there was a dent over the rear drivers side wheel well. Nobody saw anything and no note...

Yes. Once while I in my vehicle (lady just backed her car right into mine). A number of times when I wasn't around to see it.

You sure have skinny legs.

You're not alone in that, I was on the way home from the dealership with a new truck, window stickers and all.

Stopped at the grocery and parked way the hell out there away from all the other cars.

Dent with the paint knocked off over the driver's side rear wheel well, intentional as all hell.

Where's my giant Thumbs Up emoji when I need it.

There's a big lesson to be learned here, maybe a couple.

Don't park in store parking lots........................or............





require folks to park facing out so they can see where the hell they're going when they pull out to leave.

I've been hit twice. Was in the car both times. On the other hand, I took out a tailight of a Ford pick up when I clipped it with the gooseneck trailer. I was watching the cars in front and not paying enough attention to the trailer. I felt awful, that being the only time I ever did such a thing.
I watch a young man wipe the side out of his camper trailer when he tried to turn too close to a chip truck. I felt sorry for the couple. GD

I got assended at a Wendy's drivethru once.

Old Geezer in a Cadillac mistook his gas pedal for his break and nailed me just as I was reaching out the window to grab my food.

He stayed on it, I held my break pedal hard and my truck was sliding along jumping violently as I tried to hold back the Caddy.

He finally realized his error and stopped.

I jumped out and looked and there was a small dent in my chrome step bumper.
I told the guy if he gave me a hundred bucks we could call it even and go on our ways.

He freaked the fu_ck out on me, told me he'd do nothing of the kind so the police were called.

We pulled to the side and he just glared around me while I ate my lunch and waited for the cops.

When the cop arrived the old fart jumped outta his Caddy and started yelling at the cop telling him I was trying to extort money from him.

The cop calmed him down momentarily and told him this was private property and he didn't have to write a ticket if we could settle this between ourselves.

The cop went on to advise him of possible escalating insurance rates if he had to issue a ticket, he told him the $100.00 payment would be his best bet.

The old coot blew a gasket, just freaked out all over the place pacing around getting all red faced.

Told the cop to just write the damn ticket.

I collected $500.00 from his insurance company and put a sticker over the dent.....

Florduh retirees, now I are one.

Nope but I did get laid in a parking lot while I was in High School.

Had a blue hair hit the front forks of my bike and flip me over

Had a guy call me once saying you hit my car in the parking lot at the Mall you owe me 500 bucks.

The Mall he was refering to was over a 12 hour drive from where i moved to some 5 years earlier.
The guy was cussing and trying to bullying me into sending him money.

I politly told him what he could do.

Best part was i had access to to a whole bunch of burner phones every night i started calling him from these phones diffrent number evey night. You know 2 am 3 am etc. Saying you hit my car you owe me 500 bucks.

After a week of cslling him one night he was calm not yelling for the first time and said to me hey man come on we all got a hustle man can you just let this go i am just trying to make some money where i can.

Hey how do you get all these diffrent phone numbers anyway.

I promply replied you owe me 500 bucks as that was the number he was asking me for.

I called him for weeks before i got bored with it.

It's gonna happen with me, it's just a matter of time, it's gonna be gas pumps.

I have a Motorhome that extends way to far beyond the rear axle.
If you cut hard from a stopped position there's 7 to 8 feet of ass-end swing.

When refueling at a busy filling station you gotta plan your escape route.
It takes a while to fill the tank and all the while cars and trucks will be shuffling about potentially blocking the planned route.

You can't always use all the available entrance/exits if there's much grade to them, that long ass-end will bottom out in a heartbeat.

So that even further limits options to escape.

Idunno how many times theres been now that I've spotted my route to thread the needle between other vehicles with this beast, took off from being sucked up next to the pumps and moved 10 feet before I thought to look back to see if I'm sweeping the pumps as the ass-end swings.

I've come close, it's inevitable, there's gonna be that day.
I keep the insurance company on speed dial.

Yes and the person just drove off. I can't say when or where it happened.
This is a pic from our local Wally World. If my wife saw the person do this I would have told them "You're on your own"!

Happened to my brother-in-law. He clipped a gas pump with the rear corner of his big toy hauler. He has been driving big trucks and hauling heavy equipment for years. Unless one sticks to the travel centers and truck stations, it can be pretty tight for RV's or trailers. GD

I once had an old guy clip my left rear fender while he was trying to park his giant truck next to my car. On the outside I was calm, "Hey, stuff happens, nobody is hurt, that's what insurance is for."

On the inside I was doing my happy dance because that fender had a dent in it to begin with that he obliterated and now his insurance was going to fix the whole thing. Some clouds have silver linings.

I was walking on the sidewalk across a driveway and an idiot rolled his Bronco into me. I wasn’t hurt, just angry and he goes “What’s the matter? You aren’t hurt.”!

We call that "blacking in". They all do it here so the popo cant easily read their tags.

He meant you no offense. Do you like the term "Quuer" mo'betta?

Wifey is a porn star, Sandra Otterson I think
