Part of this is a self-sighting but, for that I did the right thing.
Our apartment touches two others on the ground level, along the West (short end) and North (runs the width of our apartment). Because of that, I'll call the neighbors in question Mr. & Mrs. North.
Now my BF doesn't exactly like Mr. North - although we're always polite to them - because of a few things...
1) Mr. North is LOUD. I don't think he realizes that when he & Mrs. North argue and yell (or when they yell at their kid North Junior)... we can hear it. We don't say anything to them or the apartment manager cos it's not abusive fighting... we just think he's a bit of a jerk.
2) Mr. North COMPLAINS about everyone else's parking, but can't park properly to save his life - when he DOES park in a straight line, it's usually right along the edge of the parking spot, within an inch or two of another car. Even the apartment manager rolls her eyes (well not in front of him) over it. Both of their cars show interesting damage spots.
Now as promised there is a self sighting involved. I did brush Mrs. North's car when I was pulling out to go to work, leaving some black marks on her bumper. However, I also did the right thing and left a note with my phone & apartment number, and my BF talked to Mr. North when he came home. (Mrs North was out of town I think). Originally Mr. North was OK with the damage, but ... either he was looking at the wrong spot (Mrs. North's car does have a lot of paint damage already) or Mrs. North said she wasn't OK with it. So he asked me to talk about it and we met up and exchanged insurance info and he filed a claim. (I just got off the phone with my insurance agent to verify it.)
Because of that, I am more careful about pulling out... and I try to avoid parking next to Mrs. North's car...
However I also try to avoid Mr. North's car as well cos... HIS driving is more of a danger to their cars than mine ever could be.
I scraped Mrs. North's car early in May. Since then, Mr. North has damaged his own car TWICE. About a week ago we saw a square dent in his front bumper, one that actually breaks the metal - looks like he bumped a sign post - HARD (I mean hard enough to break the metal in the bumper at least). Now he has a deep scratch running the side of his car.
Holy fuckeroni. Dude, where did you learn how to drive? And I hope you're not complaining about everyone else still...
