Well I was sitting in my monte, eating my BK tripple stacker at the edge of the parking lot, looking into the parking lot of the building next door. An old guy in his car backed out of his spot and was about to drive away when a lady in a honda pilot backed out of her space opposite the old guy's space, right into the side of his car. She hit him so hard it picked up the driver side wheels of his car off the ground for a moment. She stopped and got out and the guy got out and looked at the damage. The lady began to yell at the guy and blame him for the accident, when it was clearly her own fault. I got out and yelled at her to stop yelling at him and told her I saw the whole thing and that she was at fault. Well she told me I didnt know what I was talking about and she yelled at the guy again and called the cops. Well I gave the guy my info and told him I would back him up in the situation, but since the cops were coming, I stayed and waited anyway. When the cop came the lady began to tell him that it was the old guys fault. The old guy told the cop that it wasnt his fault and that I saw the whole thing. I told the cop what happened and the cop said it was pretty evident by the damage that it was her fault anyway, but he took my info anyway and wrote me into the police report as a witness. I left after that. The whole thing gave me a good story to tell when I got to work. When I got home today, the old guy called me and thanked me for stepping foreward. I thought that was nice, it made me feel good. Well thats my story, just thought Id share.

 

Good Job.

 

am very proud of u man, most folk would of left the old man hanging and screwed in that situation

 

Keep up the good deeds. You know, I HATE it when people don't pay attention to anything but themselves and then blame other people for their mistake. That really upsets me. lol.

 

Good Job Matt!

Thank you for doing the right thing and helping that guy when he needed you!

It's refreshing to see that there are still people like you out there, who care enough to give a dam about people other than themselves.

Shame on that lady for not taking responsibility for her actions.

that was good of you to do that...that lady sounded like a well you know what....all these stupid parking lot accidents drive me nuts, because nothing ever becomes of them...

but very good of you to do that..i hope it shut her up...

 

I'll be your Wingman any day, Matt!
Nice gesture.
Especially, since the woman was being such a bitch to the old guy.
I'm an old guy. I know how those women operate.

 

The bold part NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTIONS is why we have crime and people who think they can get away with whatever they want.

 

Hell yeah man, way to step up.

We had a similar situation a few years ago in the high school parking lot, an upperclassman T-Boned one of my classmates (both female). My classmate was a gentler girl and the other was the opposite and tried blaming it on my classmate, scream and yelled enough to make her cry. A few of us had been outside walking to a class and saw the whole thing happen and we told our classmate that we'd back her up as it was no way her fault.
