I would love to know how much damage he did to his own car.

or just call a tow truck

...or take a rock, break the window of the other car, put it in neutral and take off the parking brake, and roll it out of the way.

other car took it well, didnt even leave the front hanging

did anybody else notice the clear dirt path behind him that leads out of the parking lot? he already backed up halfway into it anyway, not sure why he didn't just take it the whole way. maybe he was just that pissed.

*wtf

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by ant.

What blows me away is (I drive large vehicles for a living, usually through small openings) that I would bet money there was enough room to get out without touching anything. He just needed to get the butt of his car further to the left. There was DEFINITELY enough room after the first hit.

This is one of those times when you wish you were driving a clunker that you would just ram the other car with...

I watched it again, everything after the third hit was theraputic.

Yeah I think his car would have fit through much earlier on than when he gave up and left. But I think he hit the car next to him when he spun pushing the car on front.

It used to piss me off to no end back when I commuted to college and people would park too close to me, so much so that I couldn't even open my door enough to get into the vehicle. I used to mess with their side mirror settings and then fold them into their car if they were moveable just to give them irritation right back. Nothing like finding out you can't see shit out of your side mirrors once you're already in traffic. Much like not being able to get into your vehicle to get your books and shit out for class without some gymnastics and contortion. That's not even counting all the door dings and paint scratches those pricks gave my vehicle that had just been painted.

This was a Russian tow truck.

Tbh i think he just needed to turn the steering wheel most of the time. He was always pointing at the car rather than at the gap. Doesn't know the width of his car and too scared to find out even at half a mile an hour. These type of people wind me up no end on the road.

Please people, the planet earth will get happier when everyone learns the width of their car.

Yes. I totally agree. From the perspective of the camera, he could easily have reversed and then exited to the right where there is a large gap between the silver and black vehicles.

If he had a jack, he could have lifted up the back end of the other car, then hit it once, collected his jack, and been off.

Song sounds strangely similar to Propellerheads "Take California":

Anger issues much?

I appreciate that it's horrendously annoying being boxed in, but did he also hit the car next to him while doing his parade of stupidity?

He's taken one situation: Being boxed in by an idiot.
And made it WAY worse: Damaged his car, damaged the other person's car. Possibly damaged another, completely innocent person's car.

As @solecist said, it looks like there's a path he could drive on behind the car parks, so that would seem to be a solution with no downside.

Complete dickhead it would seem

Sorry, intentionally putting someone in danger (and those around them, who had no part in it) by messing with their mirrors is NOT the equivalent of being inconvenienced and not being able to get into your car. What you did is pretty irresponsible, regardless of what the other person did to you.

Well, at least it's all caught on camera so we know who was responsible.

If somebody double-parks you in like that, I think it is basically reasonable to give them a "nudge" if it will buy you enough room to get out. But as mentioned by @Payback, it looked like there was likely enough room to squeak through at the correct angle either without hitting either car, or certainly after a light push or two of the offending car.

Being pissed off makes us take things further than necessary, but I'd still say that is not much of an excuse for when he tried to do a sustained push and the rear end slid around into the innocent bystander car to the right.

I kinda miss the good old days, when cars had bigass bumpers and weren't afraid to use 'em. My first car was a 1979 Lincoln Continental. That thing had a huge bumper with thick rubber pads at the contact points, not to mention what seemed like a 20' long hood (that was 60% empty, not like modern cars where the machinery fills the entire hood). In that car, high mass + thick bumper = anything blocking your path wouldn't stay there for long.

That's hardly intentionally putting someone in danger. Hell half the time I'd have to fold theirs and mine in just to make sure I didn't break something when I tried to get in my car. Plus I didn't actually DAMAGE or disable anything on their vehicle, meanwhile I can see the paint from mine on the edge of their doors where they just bash their door into mine because they can't properly handle a vehicle. They should be glad I didn't absolutely ruin the value of their vehicle like they so casually did to mine on top of blocking it in. You park too close where people have to walk between and mirrors are going to be bumped and moved as people squeeze by, especially when you got people lugging 30-50 pound backpacks around. Should learn to park courteously and responsibly.

Plus if YOU don't check your mirrors before YOU start driving, YOU are putting yourself and others in danger. A strong wind can blow your mirrors out of adjustment. Much like not properly cleaning and de-icing your windows and mirrors means you can't see properly...yet people do it ALL the time. Make sure you tell them how they are intentionally putting someone in danger next time you see them not check their mirrors or clean their windshields and side windows before starting out next time. You should also check your oil, brake fluid, coolant levels and light functionality weekly if not daily.

Now if I ran around smearing their windshield wipers with petroleum jelly, something that is not 100% noticeable you might have a point. That's something people used to do, you'd be going down the road in the rain and hit the wipers and suddenly it's like looking through a constantly changing sheet of ice. And you couldn't clean it off your windows without something to cut it.

Blaming others for your inability to follow simple parking guidelines like stay between the lines and stay centered to your parking spot when they have to work around your mistakes.......is your problem. You are responsible for the vehicle you are driving and it's safe operation. I checked my mirrors every day leaving campus, because people bump them all the time when walking between vehicles on their way to class...annoying but not their fault if I smash into a car because I didn't adjust them to be useful. Course now the mirrors have been motorized long enough that most cars have it, even the older models students can afford....so they are stiffer and harder to move by design. Doesn't change your responsibility to make sure the car is road safe before you take it on the road.

Yeah, also meant that in a crash you died.

Seriously, crash in a new car compared to an old car and you are umpteen times more likely to walk away from the accident. I think more easily dinted bumpers is a small price to pay for being alive.

his car is a Lada. no damage done >> ^pumkinandstorm:

I would love to know how much damage he did to his own car.
