Default No Respect for Others

It was a great afternoon drive home with the top down as always. I stop at the apartment office to pick up a package. I'm not even in the office for two minutes when I walk out and see this lady in her 40's or so just leaning up against the passenger tail of my S talking to someone next to her. You think by now in her life she would know better. I'm walking up with this pissed off look on my face shaking my head in disgust and she jumps off all surprised. No apology, no sorry, nothing. I swear, it's hard to get into the minds of the people who think a car is just something on 4 wheels or those that just don't care about anything not theirs. /rant I guess they can't see that I detail and take meticulous care of my S.

I have had to yell at my cousins for leaning up on cars. Now all my friends know not to lean up on my car.

should have set off the alarm - or the panic button - that is what I do if someone gets too close to mine.

Yeah, unfortunately I think of all the good stuff after the fact. I wanted to:

*walk up*
Me: Hey, nice ride. What year is it?

Her Response #1: Haha, thanks, *lies*
Me: *pops trunk*, "You should know better not to touch other people's stuff"

Her Response #2: Oh it's not mine...
Me: Why, are you leaning on something that's not yours then? ...



I also thought of hitting the alarm too.

The last thing I need is someone freaking out and scratching it or pushing someone's 'anger-management' button and ending up with a scratch/dent. Bleh.
