I Seem to have a lot of bad luck with this sort of thing.... Random ***holes. I was waiting for my friend to get home tonight- my 12 year old son and I had gone to the gas station- gassed up, got snacks... Killed some time waiting when I discovered they had a vacuum cleaner/shampoo machine- too cool. So we spent about 20 minutes cleaning and polishing til she was shining like a new penny.
Then we drove to his house nearby and parked outside on the street to wait for my friend to get home. As we were sitting in the car, a guy walks by with his dog, and I hear this noise, sounded like a huge handful of dirt hit my car. The guy noticed us in the car, and started sort of mumbling ' oh Uh sorry sorry, Uh um...' and seriously hoofs it down the street. I was like "ok, what just happened?"
I sat there for a second, then got out to look, and damned if the whole side of my formerly clean car wasn't covered in dirt, grass, dust and dog****. All down in the window, door, all over the roof, front wheel.... Omg I was steamed. WTF? I wondered if the dog had kicked it up, but it was just one big toss- not like a dog usually kicks- and it was a little dog, and this was a lot of crap on my car. But regardless of whether it was him or his dog, it was a nasty thing to do to someones car, then just run off like a Nancy boy. I'm kicking myself now for not reacting faster!! I would have loved to have had some words with him, but once he realized there were people in the car he beat it quick.
What's wrong with people?

But he actually had the phone out saying he was going to call my better half if I didn't go straight home. Me on the other hand... I'm still trying to figure if I can figure out where dude lives- I know he lives somewhere near my buddy, and this is the kind of thing I'm going to hold a grudge over.

After 37+ years as a LEO I can tell you, there are more A$$HOLES out there than there are non-A$$HOLES. All you can do is buck up and go clean your car again. But if saw this guy heading my way again I'd sure stand there and stare right into that peanut size brain of his till he's outta sight.

Wow, I didnt even know people do this. Just vandalize your car out of jealousy? I'd kick that thing into gear and come roaring down the street after him. The sheer sound of that engine would probably make him wet his pants. Then I'd probably start filming him and call the police at the same time.

I felt the same way when I was cleaning the spray paint off my passenger side door a few months ago.

I wouldn't have gotten into a fight- I just wanted to ask him why he did that. And I don't think there would have been anything wrong with telling him what I thought about what he had just done to my car. Which I admit I badly wanted to do. But no, seriously I'd never do anything to endanger my kid or set a bad example for him.
You did the right thing, brother, by not confronting him at that point.
Now, dropping the kid off at the house and then going and talking to him, I'd be all about that!

Mine was the Surenos, or so the tag, Surx13 with the 3 dots is supposed to be saying... I think it was some punks who saw the tag online and then had a field day on all the houses... and my car.
