I’ve often heard the terms bitter, angry, mean, etc. to describe me. I never disagree with mean, but the other two… well I have my moments lets just say that! I’ve also been known to say from time to time that “I hate people” or “I hate humanity as a whole.” Well both of these came to quite a collision last night. (That’s actually quite a funny way to put it!)
What is so damn hard about actually stopping after you’ve hit a parked car? I mean has all common decency in the world just been vaporized? I understand you made a mistake; you were either driving to fast and/or hit some black ice. We all make mistakes from time to time, its takes a real person to take responsibility for them. And what gets me worse is it’s not like this hasn’t happened before. Two years ago almost to the day someone hit my car in almost the exact position and spot and also sped off afraid to take responsibility for their actions. Things like this happen and it’s no wonder why I hate most people.
So after this accident I call my good ol’ local police department. How wonderful they are to deal with. The cop comes and asks his run of the mill questions, looking bored the entire time. Sorry no one is hurt or anything cool. You can blatantly see green paint marks and the car that hit left green paint chips. What does this genius of an officer say? “I’ll put a call out to look for a green car with passenger side damage and white scratches.” Really? Thanks, how about you drive around the neighborhood and look yourself? At least make an attempt to look like my taxes are being used for something other than you sitting in a parking lot. How about you tell me that you’re going to call body shops and see if any green cars come in requesting work? Two things the guy could’ve said/done to make me feel remotely better. Once again it’s no wonder why I hate most people.
Deep down I want to believe in people’s general ability to do good things, but these types of situations make it really hard to believe that. Common sense might be the scarcest of all our natural resources.

Don;t forget about “refs” or whatever that old guy wants to be called, he’ll help anyone feel better, damn it!
