Do you think it’s ok to touch cars of others?

[John105]

I got back to my car and there was a note “don’t park like an a******”

I could tell the person yanked my wiper arm based on it’s not being fully retracted. It does not come up on this car and the note was loose.

I do see my bumper is on the white line, but so what?

Society is disappointing at times.

I have rear dash cam video of the vehicle but geniuses in PA decided we don’t need front plates.

I actually will keep an eye out for the vehicle as he has a Phillies hat and a white hat on his dash as if for display.

 

[Fa24wrx]

No. If it's not my car (or anything really) I don't touch it unless I absolutely have to (safety).

 

[GRUMPYDUDE2]

If not consensual, no.

 

[UncleDave]

Nope.

You are just slightly over the line, sure maybe you could have tightened it up a bit - but maybe you couldn't?

The guy that put the note on your car has no idea what happened in front of you. Maybe you were as tight as you can be because the spot in front of you drifted back.

In spots like that I make sure I'm between the lines. Regarding touching another person's car, no, and I wouldn't want anyone touching mine. That's how fingers can get broken, or faces punched in, in this day and age, or worse. There are a lot of nut jobs walking and driving around.

See how large the space is behind? I made sure not to make any contact with the BMW nor the V6 Grand Cherokee. It’s not as anonymous as this guy (I doubt it’s a female they don’t put sports hats on their dash to display) may think as this is the gym. And don’t people think maybe the vehicle has a motion triggered cam (mine doesn’t as I don’t have it hard wired and it’s a super capacitor not a battery)?

"Hello police, a person left a note on my car telling me I park like an ass. What? No, I wasn't in between the lines but that's not the point. I have video of their license plate. I demand you arrest them!"

Also, if you think front plates are good, you deserve a note on your car.

 

[vavavroom]

I make sure to stay within the lines because that's what I expect other drivers to do.

I have "touched" another person's vehicle to retrieve a dog that was about to get cooked inside.

Grew up in Pa. One of the things I really liked was no front plate. Az doesn't have them either and I don't want them now so I can see the license plate of the car parked behind me.

Touch a car, no... gently lift a wiper to put a note under... maybe.

It's not as bad as coming out of the gas station and finding someone sitting on your Harley.

In your particular case, you probably encountered a wild Karen. They are known to roam far and wide. Shake it off.

I wouldnt think twice about your positioning, but a guy with a 3/4 ton long bed may think you are Hitler.

I found an impudent character sitting on the hood of my car when i was parking in the Tenderloin. He said "I am watching your car for you." He turned out to be also really dumb because he didn't get off the hood when I started the engine. He slid off and landed on his bum when I backed out of the parking spot. He was hollering unpleasant accusations.

Not that. Apparently lot you’ve never seen the Walking Tall series.

I think front plates are not only good, they’re excellent. And if you don’t agree, you deserve to not know how to fully spell out HP

 

[kballowe]

hahahaha I came out of Walmart one day, and there was a young fella trying (in vain) to start my car.
I said "nice car, have you had it long?" He said that he just got it, and now the ****ing key fob wasn't working. I said "here, try THIS key fob". HIS car was parked two rows over, and identical to mine. I thought he was never going to stop apologizing.

Totally good advice.

Yeah I just think say you go to a car show and oooh sweet LT1 Roadmaster wagon! You don’t proceed to touch it, nor anyone’s vehicles for that matter…

Ps didn’t that happen in Sons of Anarchy maybe I’m thinking of another show

 

[shortyb]

Touch another's car? Nope. Too many crazies out there that would do all sorts of things if you do. I've seen lots in person.

Quick question, what are you going to do if you happen to find the person that put the note under your wiper? Sounds like you are looking. May I suggest you move on from this and worry about other things.

When I moved to Philly my Maxima SE was new. I got gas at a Sunoco on Broad St and two guys are wiping my car with dirty rags while I’m filling it…. Memories

Absolutely nothing I was all talk lol this isn’t 1988 where yeah I’d break his legs

 

[eljefino]

I won't deliberately touch a "nice" car eg one that's at a car show, or even seen a car wash within the last two weeks.

I might touch the car next to mine in a parking lot for balance or to help thread the carriage through without damaging anyone's anything. Similarly if I were looking to cross a street with parallel parked cars I might put a hand on a fender to use body language to symbolize to a driver that I plan to wait for them to pass.

Gotcha. We'd have to change your screename to Guido if you did.
