Keyed? Thats nothing. I was at a friends apartment and we heard a loud noise, so we went outside to check. Somebody had thrown a giant piece of concrete through the back window of his neighbor's car's rear window.

And that person was so stupid/spineless that he couldn't tell you that he was upset but instead took the cowardly (and illegal) route of defacing your property. I've never had it done to me, but the people who do it are unforgivable cowards.

Keyed cars are usually the result of you cheating on your girlfriend. In that case, you probably deserve it.

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

if your car is keyed it's probably just a kid who did it. or some mentally challenged guy

 

[Youta Mottenai]

It´s not only the because of the bad parking.

It´s because, thanks to the bad parking, now I can only get inside my car through the passenger door.
It´s because, thanks to the bad parking and being unable to slowly open a door, now my car door is dented.
In the end it´s because the lack of, you know, that little things called courtesy and education, that make living with a lot of other humans possible.

Hope that the 1 or 2 minutes the douchebags saved by simply stopping the car and calling it "parking" were worth the money and time lost to re-paint it.

Lance: Oh, man, that's fucked up.
Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of shit fucked with it.
Lance: They should be fucking killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
Lance: What a fucker!
Vincent: What's more chickenshit than fucking with a man's automobile? I mean, don't fuck with another man's vehicle.
Lance: You don't do it.
Vincent: It's just against the rules.

should have been the first post.

 

[besada]

While I don't key cars, I do always laugh when I see some douche parked across two spaces whose car has been keyed.

It's poetic justice. They park that way to avoid dings on their precious automobiles, and instead get the shit scratched out of their cars.

 

[HolyStar]

Seriously, what kind of dickless piece of shit keys someone's car. That is against a man law.

If some douchebag pisses me off in the parking lot of a mall or theater, I don't have time to sit waiting for them to come out. It could be 10 minutes or it could be four hours. I haven't keyed anyone yet but I've been sorely tempted a few times. I've had people intentionally block my door so that I had to get in through the passenger door (in parking lots with MANY empty parking spaces) and I've had pricks park too close and dent my car (and I knew it was them because the dent had traces of paint that exactly matched their car).

 

[Flambe]

First thing you do when you get a new car is key it yourself, it's like marking your property. People see that shit and are all 'whoa don't need to key that car'.

Saves a lot of grief in the end.

 

[Brannon]

Jesus how big is the key?

They also have to add rustproofing under the paint and bang out the razor-thin dent a key could create, which means they have to disassemble the affected panel. Now you've got more labor time to worry about as well. Windows are much easier from what I've seen auto mechanics do with them.

 

[MrToughPants]

It depends on how deep the scratch is. A good auto body worker can just touch that shit up no problem. And as long as he has the color code it should look like new afterwards.

People who key cars are assholes. I would have more respect if they were like the guy mentioned earlier in the thread that waited for the person who parked in two spaces and then knocked the guy out. At least he wasn't a coward.

[thesoapster]

I always make sure my parking job is good after I get out of the car, yet I've had my car keyed once. People are bastards, simple as that. I need the security system from Tomorrow Never Dies that electrocutes anyone touching the car

 

[Like the hat?]

luckily my car is a shitheap so i can park any way i damn well please.

 

[tedtropy]

Just depends on the situation. If it's to a douchebag parking across two spaces (and not in the back of the lot) because he doesn't want to get his precious too close to a Civic, then it's good fun.

Thankfully my car is paid off and old enough for me to not care about the occasional scratch or ping. I pulled into a spot so quickly this morning that I tapped my bumper and all it did was make me laugh a little. THAT'S POWER.

 

[Jokey665]

I've never keyed a car nor have I had my car keyed, but if some fucker parked so close to me that I had to get in the passenger side, you can bet your ass he'd need a new paint job before I left the parking lot.

[SSGMUN10000]

When some douche parked so close to my car that I had to enter my car though the passenger side you bet I keyed there car. Everytime I park I have the courtesy to check there is ample room between me and the other cars.

 

[SIP YEK NOD]

Some fuckhead kicked the mirror off my car the other night, a new mirror is 480 bucks, unpainted. If i find out who did it, i'm going to beat them to a bloody stump.

 

[Youta Mottenai]

Yep. But for some people this seems to be a concept too hard to grasp.

 

[Kodiak]

Sometimes when im walking home at night I'll just casually key all the cars on a street as I mosey on past.

This is because I hardly feel anything, at all.

Edit: part of me just wants to piss someone off so something interesting will happen, the other part just doesn't feel anything remotely close to emotion or caring.

 

[thefit]

Guys tell me if this was fair, so I'm at Ikea and they have these parking spots close to the exit so you can load up, well I'm loading and this stuff is heavy so I get busy trying to shove shit into our new van and don't notice that the other stuff on the cart is kinda nearing the drive way area but not so much that it would really block any cars anyhow I don't notice this prick in his truck just waiting there so that I guess I move my shit outa his way, which is not really in his way btw, I see the jerk and move my stuff, he parks next to me, really fucking close too, swings open his door slamming into my passenger door, he gets out and just walks away into the store like nothing happened. The motherfucker wasn't even loading anything he just wanted to be close to the entrance and for that he does that shit, so I says fuck you and your oversize small cock complex Orange County POS truck and keyed his fucking passenger door BUT only on the exact same spot on wich he dinged mine. Fair?

 

[M.Bluth]

Some asshole removed the badges on my car with a screwdriver, scratches everywhere
it was parked right in front of my own garage

You are a gigantic pussy and a complete asshole. You leave your cart in the middle of driving lanes, you don't say anything to the guy, make no attempt to remedy the situation properly, and you are faulting somebody to drive a truck to a furniture store.

Hitting somebody with the door of your car and leaving qualifies as hit and run, as it can quite easily do $500 damage to modern vehicles(as evidenced by my $480 mirror). You could have asked him to make the situation right, if he refused and still left, got his plate number and filed a complaint with the police.

but seriously, after the whole mirror thing, I've decided to get a security camera. it would have paid for itself already.

Get real, dude. Do you know what a copshop would say if you called and complained about a door ding?

1) How are you to judge if your cart wasn't in the way?
2) When he opened his door, did it leave a mark on your passenger door?
3) If so, how bad was it?

 

[SIP YEK NOD]

If it's as serious as he claims, it would qualify as a hit and run. Cops love writing tickets. 2 camera phone pictures and all the legwork is done for him.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

People who key cars= scum

Pretty much. There's never really a good reason to key a car. You're just a dick, flat out.


Especially if you do it only because a guy didn't park correctly. Get someone to write a ticket if you care so much. you're only keying a car to make your dickhead self feel better.

Sort of. You should have called him out first. Then if he ignores key it/smash it with a heavy object. Or do it the civil way and make him pay for it.

The amount of people in this thread who are implying they've keyed cars for bad parking is way too high. You are scum.

What? Shut the fuck up there a minute bud, the cart was not in his way whatsoever it was a double lane drive and he didn't even need to swerve he in fact he had to go outa his way to make a huge curve to get into the spot, and when he hit my door I did yell at him with a "WTF MAN!" and he's the pussy for walking away, the guy wanted to show off so I gave him plenty a reason to step it up but he walked away so fuck him.

 

[methos75]

I came out of my house once late at night to take out some trash and cut two kids trying to key my car, one got away but the other got an ass-kicking it will never forget. I pretty much broke every rib in his body and then called the cops on him, did some paperwork and then went off to bed and never heard of him again.

 

[SturokBGD]

I'll be honest, you could probably strip all the paint right off my old Contour, and I probably wouldn't notice.

You could have walked up when he hit the door, and said "hey, you just hit my door with yours". or something that acknowledged who you were talking to, and what you were talking about. you could have confronted him instead of yelling across the parking lot. you could have not left your cart in the middle of a driveway. There are a lot of things here you could have done differently that didn't make you look like an asshole.

Ps. i'm not your bud, pal.

 

[Ela Hadrun]

Car keying is something I always kind of fantasized about doing, probably because I am such a sheltered and repressed goody two shoes.

But my favorite thing is how every time The Dark One posts it practically derails the thread.

My dad used to park very carefully on the COMPLETE FAR SIDE of the lot because he was afraid of getting keyed. I guess by making it as far as possible from other drivers no one would even think about it?

 

[JDSN]

Anyone that does it is a passive aggressive pussy, doesn't matter if he double parked on your mother's handicapped space.
