Possibly a sighting, but it involves a stupid driver, so I put it here. Mods, if this needs to be moved, I'm sorry for the bother.
So, I took my non-smoking co-worker to the supermarket and sat in the car (windows down) enjoying a smoky treat while she ran in for desperately needed office supplies. (Chocolate, we were out of chocolate and we have 2 preggy sups who sent us on a short road trip.)
The Stupid Driver of the car parked nose to nose with mine came back, got into his car and proceeded to back out while poking something on his dashboard. There just happened to be a car behind him and blamo! against the side of the car.
His eyes came up, he looked around, he glared at his dashboard and jumped out yelling "Its not my fault! My back-up camera wasn't turning on!"
The Driver of the Injured Car got out and said something about how much it bites when equipment failures happen and did SD have insurance. SD just repeated that it wasn't his fault, his camera wasn't working, so the DIC would need to sue SD's auto manufacturer over the damage.
Oddly enough, this did not make DIC happy.
I missed part of what was being said next because my co-worker came back and I touched my lips in a shushing gesture, pointed to my ear and then at what was happening. Being the smart girl she is, she quietly got into the car and then leaned close to her window so she could listen as well.
Things were starting to get really heated, but then DIC guy said "F*** it! I'm not moving my car until I have your insurance and contact information.", got into his car, turned his hazard lights and pulled out his phone.
SD finally gave DIC info and we left and DIC left.
When we got back to work, our sups squeeled with delight, opened the chocolate they had asked for, ate a piece and then told us that what they really wanted was something baked that had a lot of chocolate.
Back we went. SD's car was still sitting there and he had a couple of what looked like managers and was talking and pointing at where he thought cameras were. I couldn't park close enough to hear what he was saying, but he sure was animated.
And before anyone asks, yes, he did have the required 3 mirrors on his car, he just never looked up to check them.
