Dear Wicked Witch,
There are other names I’d like to call you, but this is a PG-13 blog (mostly). Truthfully, I don’t need to resort to name-calling to tell you how I feel about you. You suck. You have no integrity, decency or civility.
How did you think you could get away with hitting a car parked on a city street at 10:30 in the morning without someone reporting you? Which they did. A kind woman and her teenage son, horrified by the crash and that your callousness, wrote down your license plate number and a description of your gas-guzzling goliath. Unfortunately, the friendly and helpful police officer is not sure why the license number seems to belong to a Honda Civic in a town far from here. Either the sweet woman miswrote your tag number or you are driving a car with a stolen plate. For your sake, I hope it’s the former, because you are already on a slippery slope. A slope basted with gasoline, mud and broken plastic.
So, WW, how did you manage to hit a stationary object? Accidents happen. Maybe you spilled coffee in your lap. Maybe a squirrel ran in front of your car. When accidents happen, most people accept responsibility. They act out of integrity. But you? You didn’t even get out of your effing SUV. You hit the gas and took off.
I suppose I should be thankful that I wasn’t loading the two preschoolers I had with me into my van at the moment of impact. I suppose I should be thankful that the damage isn’t worse. I suppose I should be thankful that no one, not even you, was hurt. But I’m not thankful. I’m pissed.
Because while I was on a field trip to the library with my son’s preschool class, while I was watching goofy librarians sing and dance, you were ramming my primary mode of transportation and running away, without remorse. But with, I hope, fear. I hope you don’t sleep well tonight. I hope Officer Butch tracks you down. I hope you are woman enough to accept responsibility and apologize.
If you do apologize, I will accept it. With integrity. And your insurance information.
Sincerely,
Edgy Mama

Ooooh, I predict dire things for that person. Karma is a witch, after all.
Sorry about your minivan…ok, yeah, that’s a phrase I’ve never said before.
Ouch! I know the loathing I have for the people that jam their doors into the sides of my car in parking lots, so I can imagine how you feel EM.
Where was Edgy Devil Duck during all this? I guess they came up from behind and surprised him. Well if you mess with EDD you get the horn!! The driver of that hit-and-run should be feeling the pain right about now.
Bollocks!

My DH has a similar dent in the same place on his camry. It happened in the hospital employee parking. We’re guessing SUV by the size and placement of the dent. But how are we to know as the pansy didn’t leave a note and no one saw it.
Being a victim of an SUV hit and run really rubs salt in the wound, doesn’t it? Not only are folks who drive them oblivious ( or just don’t give a flip) to the negative environmental impact of their choice in vehicles, they can’t negotiate those monsters in traffic or parking spaces. I can’t tell you how many times i have waited in a parking lot while one made a 3 point turn to get in or out of a space (all the while talking on a cell phone). UGH!!!
You should post the license number and vehicle description….with your fan base, someone is bound to find it! I’m free this weekend and would be happy to hunt/burn witches (just the SUV kind, I have no problems with the other). As a car buff, there is almost no greater violation. Sorry!
How about hitting your car while you’re in it, pulling up to the drivers door so you can’t get out, and then taking off like a bat out of a hell? Yes, this happened to me and while I was sitting there stunned trying to make sure I wasn’t bleeding or anything, someone else hit me. And the thing is, I was sitting at a RED LIGHT!!! So, what I am trying to say, is I feel for you, although I managed to make this entire rant about me. Sorry.
PS- BTW, I saw the (#*$&(#$ that drove away when I picked my car up (7,000 smackers later) and followed him to a drug house. I thne went straight to the police station and raised a stink:)
How sad! You know, I hit a parked car once (I had really cute wedge shoes on and my foot just slipped right off the brake). I probably could have gotten away with it, but honestly that thought didn’t even cross my mind. I know what it’s like to be low on funds and have something like this happen. So, I left a note, told the folks all my information and that I’d stay in the area and gave ‘em my cell #. They called and we met and they were the nicest couple! We actually had a lot in common and they were ever so grateful I left information. It didn’t end up costing that much to fix their car and the best part is I can sleep at night. I don’t know how some people (especially in our current ruling political administration) can go on living with themselves and without worry as to the state of theor souls. Wishing you peace and a pleasent resolution to this, or at least a cute pair of wedges for spring!

Gah!!
My car is still a bit beat up from my hit and run last year. The evil bastard.
There’s a special circle of hell for people like them, and people who talk in theaters.
Uh, Miss Edgy … oops.
My guess is this was a woman who moved from another state, didn’t change her license or tags in order to get a tax break, and took off because she doesn’t have any insurance. Silly bint.
Edgy Devil Duck lives in my sporty Honda Hybrid, unfortunately, AD. Clearly, I need a brother for him in the van.
Vehicle description: Green Toyota SUV with a silver-colored scratch on one bumper. Can’t give out the tag number til the police figure out why it’s registers to a completely different vehicle. Thanks, Ptaak! I’ve also crossposted this to Blogasheville.
Yeah, Kelly. Maybe I need to go shoe shopping.
Cute, anonymous.
I had a car roll into my brand new car in a parking lot while visiting asheville a couple years ago. The car’s parking break malfunctioned. I am just glad that no one walking in the parking lot was hurt. Myself and the owner of the other car were in the same store shopping at the time. The person was really nice. The other person’s car had more damage than mine. The other person gladly followed through with ordering a new tire tire cover which was the only thing damaged on my car.
I am so sorry that you had that happen and hope you find the person.
She probably just got a number or letter wrong, like seeing an 8 when it was actually a 3 with some dirt on it!
Do I need to come up there and kick some ass…cause I’ll do it…I might not look it but damn it I work out! Plus I’m a hell of an instigator as well as some one who enjoys ridiculing people until they cry. Tell…the bitch…I mean witch, to pick her poision…
Lets review her chioces..
1) Ass Kicken (very satisfiying)
2) Makeing some one cry, by pointing out
everything that’s wrong with them and how they might
as well give up, because they’ll never amount to anything and that hitting a parked mini-van with a devil duck on the dash is just a microcosum of their life and that if they ever want to do anything right, that thing should be to get their whole head in front of the shotgun before killing themselves…
3) Or a softer approach, which is to be super nice about it and make them feel like total crap and leave them wishing they could be more like you…this one is nice and falls under the whole “setting a good example”…
Personally, I like option 1…I say go after them like a tornado of fingure nails, teeth and red hair,until the cops have to subdue you with taser guns and pepper spray…make the witch beg to be locked up…
Sorry about your ride, didn’t know A-Ville was such a rough place…
TGIF!!!!
AFG:
I had no idea that Mrs. Cheney was in town this week, that smarmy hag.
Good luck kicking her snaggle toothed…well…fill in the PG-13 blank.

Man! I just don’t get it. I’d never be able to live with myself if I were responsible for such an incident and drove off. Why is it so often that people will only do the right thing…when there’s a chance he or she might get caught??? That reminds me of plagarism issues at school. If a student thinks he or she can get away with it, it gets done. The second we have a service like http://www.mydropbox.com check the papers for us, nobody does it. Bah. how about doing what is right BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT???
This is crummy, crummy, crummy. Sending you an e-mail…
Oh I would be so pissed too.
