Re: Parking the truck

I took the family down to Disney in our personal vehicle ('03 Silverado) and anyone who has been there knows that parking is a well orchestrated bit of chaos. We are all being guided into rows and rows of spaces at the Animal Kingdom and everyone is jumping out to make the mad dash to the waiting train. Well this rental car full of foreign people jump out of their car and give my own personal vehicle a nice ding. As I confront them about it they keep walking away saying "It ok, it ok". I was like "The it is, you just damaged MY truck with your rental." Well they played dumb (or actually were) and kept going to catch the train. There was a crowd of people so my wife managed to calm me down before I flipped.

I took a pic of the car and damage but never pursued it but I thought about it all day in the park and cant help but think that I would have had a better time if these visitors to our country had been a little more courteous.

We actually got hit with ANOTHER door the next day at the Magic Kingdom but this time it was by a family of locals which apologized right off the bat and since there wasnt any damage I told them it was ok and I was sorry for giving them the stink eye when it happened after which I related the previous days fiasco.



Not to start a tangent but our local officials put out some round magnets a year or so ago with descriptive words about the town and my wife puts them on the back of her truck. Well she works at a hotel on the beach and the tourists steal one or all of them on a monthly basis. What kind of person thinks its ok to touch someones car??? Its like those chuckleheads that slip stuff under your wiper...just let me catch one of these guys.

Feels good to get this kind of stuff off my chest.
