b) "But that is NOT part of your bumper. That is part of your side panel, which will probably have to be replaced if it can't be pounded out."
c) "I don't think your luck of the Irish story was actually so lucky."

a) "Shut up"
b) "We should just be thankful that it was only a parked car and the damage is minor and kids weren't with me and no-one was hurt and especially that the person drove away while I was writing the note because you have to admit, that's just funny."
c) "And whatever, you're the person who tried to close the garage door with the back door still open and gave me that big scrape down the back of my hatch-door-thing."
Blaine said:
a) "No, that was you. I did the same thing, yes, I'll admit, a few months later. But the time YOU did it was the time you got the big scrape. And now we'll probably have to pay our deductible to get this thing fixed. Do you need drivers ed?"

a) "La-la-la!!! Fingers in my ears!! I can't hear you!!!"

tell Blaine you're not the only one..I accidentally backed into my garage door this week...I didn't wait long enough for it to go up and so backed into it before it was higher than the car roof. I feel okay posting this because Mark does not read blogs.
Did you tell him it was the Swiss cheeses fault?
Sounds like it is time to tell him it's time for him to get you and SUV...they will back into anything leaving you with little or no damage at all. Get some new wheels out of this... at least that is what my two ex-wives would have done.
You know, I went through a period of time with my van where things just happened. My mom was motioning me into a parking spot at a zoo, and I crunched the side of the front bumper. Then I ran over the side of the brick planter at her house and punctured (I mean RIPPED apart) the right front tire. There were a few other scrapes, too. I think it must be a van thing. Really. It is NOT us.
And oh my word. I just went to another blog, and this was the first part of her entry; obscure laws in Oklahoma:
One may not promote a “horse tripping event”.
It is illegal for the owner of a bar to allow anyone inside to pretend to have sex with a buffalo.
Oklahoma will not tolerate anyone taking a bite out of another’s hamburger.–This one I must concur…
Whaling is illegal.-because I guess in OKLAHOMA it was a big issue…we’re so close to the ocean and all…
It is illegal to have the hind legs of farm animals in your boots.–This one I’m just afraid to know the reason behind…
Tissues are not to be found in the back of one’s car.–Well…this one I have broken. I have kids, I must have tissues…
The blog ishttp://momof3darlings.wordpress.com/ , to give credit where credit is due. And you better get that box of tissues out of your car before you back into anyone else! And no stinkin' whales in there, either!
So sorry for the dent in your car. Parking lots can be dangerous.
Someone backed into me twice (within two days) in October (I think), and the cost in a parking lot (both times). Minor-ish looking damage...some to the front bumper by the headlight, and some on the driver's side back door. Grand total: 4500+. Crazy-expensive. I'm sorry about yours. Car damage is upsetting (and it really shouldn't be as long as no one's hurt, right? But it still is upsetting).
