We need /c/incrediblyinfuriating, this is much more than mildly infuriating.

Tough luck.

[–] PaladinBugEris 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Came in here to say this, I'd be really upset lol

[–] Calanthesrose 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am so upset. There are no words. But there was no other community.

[–] LillianVS 5 points 1 year ago

With the early days of lemmy and the non-specific communities for infuriating content means I definitely allow it

[–] Thadrax 1 points 1 year ago

Depends on how the rest of the car looks. If it's a 15 year old beater I get the "mildly".

[–] MadWorks 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Walmart parking lots are the worst. I don't know what it is about them but I've seen more fender benders, sideswipes, keyings, and parking lot rage there than anywhere else.

[–] Calanthesrose 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate Walmart, but have to shop there because it's the only grocery store within reasonable distance of my house. Hopefully I won't live here much longer.

[–] axtualdave 2 points 1 year ago

May I suggest looking into the WalMart+ program? It's like $15/mo and you get free delivery, including next-day grocery orders. If you're fortunate enough to be able to afford the Amex Platinum card, paying for the monthly sub fee is one of the benefits.

I think the Game Pass comes with a free 2 or 3 month trial, too.

Their website takes some getting use to, but of the various online grocery shopping websites, theirs is legitimately one of the better ones.

[–] grue 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know what it is about them

Walmart caters to the lowest common denominator of humanity. It's the same reason why r/PeopleOfWalmart was a thing.

This happened to my 1965 ford thunderbird. A giant dent over the whole body panel. Previously pristine original panel. No note or anything. People are horrible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Happened to me at an airport parking lot. Parked pretty far away but someone put a boot into the door. I was trying to sell that car too. Ended up selling it to Carvana and they didn’t care.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oof. Had that happen outside my house once (lived on a very narrow street). I don't know how people can just drive off without leaving their details!

[–] Calanthesrose 5 points 1 year ago

Oh that must have been infuriating. I don't either! Their car must have been damaged, too!

[–] NABDad 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, that sucks.

I like to imagine that karma will get them, but in truth there's no such thing.

[–] Calanthesrose 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I, too, like to imagine that karma will get them. But you're right, there is no such thing.

[–] Chemical 3 points 1 year ago

I feel you guys, 100%, but you never know. Maybe it was someone’s grandmother who was picking up meds for her husband of 54 years who was just told he has cancer and she was distraught and wasn’t paying attention. While this is not excusable, it changes the context. Also, perhaps they were just an ass and knew exactly what they did. We’ll never know, but I do know that ppl who make bad decisions tend to encounter bad outcomes more often.

Sorry about your car

[–] iamlyth 7 points 1 year ago

We also got sideswiped last weekend. Tried to file a police report and they didn’t seem eager to find out who did it. Just doing paperwork for insurance so that my rates can go up later

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think I can see tears in your reflection.

[–] Deltoids 5 points 1 year ago

Had something like this happen when I was an actual employee at sam's club years ago. They couldn't find it on camera because the camera didn't cover the whole lot and was terrible quality...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One of the annoyances of living in a city is that magically your car gets more beat up while parked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Both of my vehicles have been hit multiple times when parked, I can't imagine buying something shiney and new and trying to keep it that way.

My last car was even totalled in a parking lot while I was in a meeting. That was a bit annoying.

[–] Calanthesrose 2 points 1 year ago

My poor car is going to be so battered by the end of ots life.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I would see if the Walmart security cameras caught a plate for you to track.

[–] UltraMagnus0001 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I run a dash cam with the parking monitor. My neighbor runs a construction company and one of his workers hit my car when it was parked. I was able to tell him and his insurance covered it. With the monitoring on the dashcam, I highly recommend a shutoff harness if you notice the battery monitor drains your battery.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That'll buff out

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not sure I would consider that to be mildly infuriating.

[–] Goodbyeworld 2 points 1 year ago

We all want to know how you are exacting revenge for this waltrocity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Damn that sucks. I always purposefully try and park as far away from everyone else as I can for this reason, yet someone will always park next to me. OP, definitely see if they have any CCTV, worth a shot.

[–] STRIKINGdebate2 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does Walmart have parking lot cameras. Surely, you could ask for CCTV footage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Some people have no conscience, I'm sorry OP. Whilst it's frustrating at the time, I found the first scratches on my car to be quite liberating after a while as I no longer felt so concerned about messing up my perfect paintwork!

[–] justhach 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I know the feeling. I have been holding onto my dads monstrosity of a truck for him (long story), and it hardly ever leaves my driveway (im talking once every ~2 weeks to keep it from seizing or getting wear from just sitting in the same spot). Woke up yesterday to a big old scratch down the side. I haven't moved in at least a week, so I am baffled that someone would just walk up a driveway and scratch someones vehicle.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@Calanthesrose that sucks. Totally feel for you. Someone backed into ours while we were asleep and we didn't have cameras.
